ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online?English3·2 months agoIf you have calm discussions and listen, you will absolutely 100% see that most people are actually quite alright. Even if they dont like trans people, they will eventuelly get there, by having discussions and chats and seeing them in the real world.
Respectfully, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I live in Texas and I am surrounded by the conservative mindset. There is a chittering madness about these people that causes them to frenzy any time something triggers them as being “woke” or “trans” or in any way challenging to their narrow world-view. They cannot be reasoned with, I have tried far too long with no effect. Their beliefs are couched in white christonationalism and the stupid masses having their stupid beliefs vindicated by bad actors in positions of power.
These people do not feel that anyone unlike them has the right to live the way they want. They WANT to strip trans people of their rights. Pleading for empathy has fallen on empty ears and the ONLY thing that is providing any clarity to these morons is when they themselves are hurt by the stupidity they have summoned. The only time I have heard anyone from the conservative side second guess their vote is when it started to impact them personally. Not when billionaires were immediately given tax cuts, not when children were forcibly taken from their parents, not when first amendment rights violations are being codified into law, not when people have literally been vanished off the streets. None of it matters to them.

ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•‘60 Minutes’ airs scathing segment on ‘first felon in the Oval Office’ despite pressure to avoid sensitive stories about Trump2·2 months agoThe majority of Republicans are fucking morons that have no idea what is going on in the world and have no desire to so long as they have identified which group they are supposed to hate.
Also, trees are surprisingly difficult to keep alive if they were artificially introduced to a location. Turns out they don’t thrive in a concrete hellscape super well.

ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to federal charges in CEO killing1·3 months agoThe problem is he definitely killed the guy. In a sane world the defense would walk in, state directly to the jury “jury nullification is a thing”, and that would be the end of it.
They have engineered a system where the only recourse the common man has is violence, and I have no qualms about saying this CEO, like many others, deserved to die.

Entrepreneurship is one of those areas where you genuinely get out what you put in. If you want your business to be better, you have to commit the time to it.

ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?21·4 months agoThose MAGA folks don’t know they’re brainwashed, and honestly, neither would any of us.
I challenge this line of reasoning. All that is required is asking the question “is that true?”, then attempting to answer that question. There are very few modern conservative talking points that cannot be riddled with holes via 10 min of googling. I understand that people of western society have had our attention robbed of us, but all that is required is a desire to know the truth. They don’t. They want to have an interesting story that triggers their emotions. I will not abide apologies for anyone still supporting the MAGA agenda.

It’s uncanny that they managed to gut the national weather service the same year that we have had the strangest summer weather i can remember. There have been days this July that have been downright pleasant. I was too cold in the pool a couple days ago. Weird in Texas.
