It's because making the world better requires change and conservatives are terrified of everything, especially change.
Go up to a conservative. Any conservative. And ask them to talk about politics. No other prompt. Just talk about politics. Don't interrupt them for maybe 5 minutes. They'll spend at least 95% of their time talking about fear, in some form or another. Conservatism is built upon, and maintained, by fear.
But its always the dumbest fear.
Its not like "im worried about some idiot POTUS destroying my livelihood through his own ego and a misunderstanding of economic policy" or "im not going to be able to afford health care when i inevitably get sick".
Its always "if you let gay people get married then people will marry their pets and that would be an atrocity because reasons".
If you dont know vote no am I right?
They are so far deep into a propaganda bubble that there's no way for you to understand it. If you could see their social media content you'd be amazed of how many lies they buy without questioning.
This is exactly it. I've tried talking to a few of the guys that I work with and they are fully sure that every democrat wants to kill all the babies and turn all of their children trans. I pointed out that abortions should be between a woman and her doctor and that the government shouldn't be involved at all... I got a sparkle of understanding from one of them but then he doubled down that MOST abortions are purely for convenience. Like first of all, no they are not, but even if they were it's not anybody's business. Trying to get him to understand that I'm not pro abortion, I'm pro mind your own fucking business.
And this is how GOP holds onto power. Its cartoonish how simple it is.
GOP seigs with their right hand the democrats seig with they left hand
The left and right wing of the same eagle
Billionaires control the media, including millions of social media accounts. Normal people want him.
How was me too controlled by billionaires?
How is this anti gay? Because of the username?
Here we go again: "bad" being transcribed as gay. Why can't people get past this shit? Why must we still make gay be an analog for bad? As a lifelong gamer, gamer culture is 100% part of the problem and a primary vector for disinformation, puritan culture, sexism, homophobia, and other kinds of hate and ignorance. We have to be fucking better than this.
It's so subtle to some, yet so corrosive and insidious.
Did you just assume @hitlerball_lover1488's gender?
Oh shush, we all know the insinuation of the joke of the name.
The gay bashing here is senseless when their awfulness is being hateful, not same sex attraction.
Not to mention all the people in this thread defending the gay jokes like it's 2010 and we're on the r/TumblrInAction subreddit.
I'm just waiting for someone to get called an SJW for having a problem with Nazis getting lumped in with gay people.
nutguzzler42 lmao
That's about right. Its sports team political party mentality.
"I say socialist you say where"
It's a slippery slope, next thing you know you have to treat gay and black people like humans.
They want someone to blame for their perceived misery, and to vent their anger at others having it better than them.
It's easier to do that instead of being introspective.
Why the constant gay-shaming of fascists?? Is being a fascist thats secretly gay somehow worse than being a cishet fascist?
Edit: what about openly gay fascists?
You misunderstand, they usually make their usernames stuff like this because it's edgy or crude. This wasn't done to call them gay or anything. This is what they already do.
Just Google "DOGE BigBalls" to see an example
It doesn't read like it's referencing homosexuality to me. Sucking someone's dick is commonly used to refer to sycophantic behavior. The idea is allowing yourself to be used by a socially dominant figure as a means of currying favor to better your own social position beneath them.
Like I don't think kissing ass has anything to do with people actually enjoying anal play.
Calling someone a
is widely accepted as a homophobic slur, and imo is rather obviously the root of the idea that a person sucking cock is "allowing themself to be used by a dominant figure" as you so neatly put it. The whole idea that the person getting their cock sucked is dominating the person sucking their cock is homophobic. It treats the person sucking cock as lesser. It's how you got the societal taboo of giving a woman oral sex, which admittedly is almost unheard of nowadays, but it used to be that going down on a woman was seeing as feminizing (since you're getting dominated by a woman) and therefore gay.slur
cocks*cker
Asskissing has a completely different origin going back to a poem by Götz von Berlichingen. It comes from a completely different context even though they both are used as largely replaceable idioms.
I should come up with a copy-pasteable answer at some point.
Honestly don't see this as gay shaming. Thats just how fascist (and many of the terminally online generally) name themselves on twitter sometimes
You don’t have to be gay to be an asshole. Plenty of straight people, gay people, cis people, people of color, trans people can be fascists and assholes. It’s not like being LGBTQ gives you some kind of a pass to be a dickhead.
hitlerball_lover1488 may well be a woman who wants to gargle Hitler's singular testicle. I'd ask you to in the future please be more mindful of when you assume a stranger online to be a man.
Nice meme 👍
Thank
Lmao that's alot of fucks
Love it
