Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others

[–] wheelie@lemmy.world 85 points 1 day ago (4 children)

That's more of an idiot move.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 127 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who's got the time to tell the difference?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 92 points 1 day ago

Sure- conservatives aren't all idiots. Some are assholes

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Venn diagram between those two things is basically a circle at this point.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago

I don't really agree. The idiot circle nicely encompasses the conservative circle, but there are a lot of idiots that aren't conservatives as well!

Even when presented with the hypocrisy, they still refuse to acknowledge there is a problem.

Can you even imagine his response if a gay man had approached him the same way? Dude would be on the 6 o'clock news crying into the camera while covered in blood.

Maybe it's safe to assume he's a conservative but you'll be surprised at how many brocialists we have on the left.

How was it called? When people are so close to getting the point it hurts, yet still don't get it? I remember there being a subreddit about it.

I miss that subreddit

he made her point so perfectly well, and yet still can't (and won't ever be able to) see it himself.

That went so far over his head, I'm not sure he heard the woosh.

He would feel threatened if a creepy woman TSA agent did this to him too. It's much more rare, but it's a better argument for these kinds of people. I've seen this response countless times. Banned from r/conservative for "threatening" users lol.

Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Not everything is a debate. The dude is just an asshole.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago

Actually if you're a Democrat you have to act perfectly all the time. This guy's a Republican so it's totally fine to be a child.

They're not like children, they're just narcissists.

It's the attitude of: "If I do something bad to you, you should be flattered. But don't you dare do that to me!"

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago

It could be, or it could be 6th grade debate and communication skills. But we're allowed to be angry and not act perfectly.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago

Satisfying to argue but doesn't work either on these 6th grade debate ability folks. You make a 7th grade argument, not an adult one if you want to help him.

Not agreeing with the guy, but we are all aware that his last post is sarcasm right

Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.

Wait, no. It's the opposite.
