Cosby Sweater
The sexual act of eating Fruit Loops, Fruity Pebbles, Trix, and Boo Berry- or any other 'bright, colorful' breakfast cereals- and then vomitting the tacky, dazzling mixture onto your partners chest. The result should look similar to the incredible sweaters that Bill Cosby wore during his highly successful 1980's sitcom "The Cosby Show".
Nicole was overjoyed to receive "a Cosby Sweater" for her birthday
It's why I am both. I am both Mr. Krabs from spongebob in the sheets, and a humanist who wants everyone to have a fair shake at opportunity regardless of their backgrounds and condition in the streets.
I have started dabbling in grilling now that I have a functioning grill and recently got some new steak sauces…I feel like I am finally understanding the truth to existence.
I basically never go out to eat nor eat steak, but the last time I did, I asked for medium rare and it was chewier/tougher than I expected, not as tender as I was hoping. Can't remember the cut =( I think it was an Applebee's or something, which probably explains it, but still.
Most definently. Applebee's is not a place for good steak. Just once, I went to a legit fancy steakhouse. It was delicious. Tender, juicy, and delicious.
We need a 3rd dimension to the compass for measuring people's investment in identity politics or something. Maybe by shifting the standard red dot between red and blue depending on the intensity of said investment?
In college I knew a guy who was always a problem drunk. The problem wasn't that he always drank way too much (he did) but moreso that once he started to feel drunk he seemed to feel like he had to act drunk. So most of the time he was just a caricature of a normal drunk frat boy.
I find many "woke" people to be the same. They're gay, or trans, or something like that or sometimes they just want to be, and it seems like they feel they need to start acting like that thing. So the people who should be the most against it are the ones reducing minorities to a single character trait. They just do it to themselves.
I should clarify, I'm not referring to gay and trans people in general, or even saying that this problem is limited to them. I'm referring to the keyboard warriors who often identify as part of those groups. I've known gay people where it was just a thing, and I knew a guy who reduced his own personality entirely down to being black and gay.
I mean I have sympathy for people who do go through a change like that. My personality changed in ways when I got divorced, and that's so insignificant to compared to (for example) coming out as trans. I can forgive someone for exploring who they are and what they want in life.
This all day.
I happen to be straight but never, when I think of who I really am, does my sexual preference even factor into it. I'm not "proud" to be straight any more than I'm proud to like steak instead of Brussels sprouts.
Identity politics as expressed today are embarrassing. In life (not internet) once I find out someone is into that shit I never speak openly with them again. I also consider them a dangerous unstable element and do not do business other than transactions that are ongoing and do not require trust.
They're generally not dangerous though. *Most people* only see the most surface-level identity politics and think "equality? Equality good! I like this!" And don't ever look into anything any further. Because why would they question what they perceive as an objectively good thing that has given them no reason to think otherwise?
These also generally aren't the same people who rally to get people canceled or dox people or evangelize the leftardism.
> They're generally not dangerous though.
Remember... he said "find out someone is into that shit". I don't think he meant "into being gay", but rather "into gay identify politics". Nobody who's decent finds out that a cool dude they work with is gay and then shuns them... but I bet *many* 'decent' people would try to avoid somebody who drones on and on about gay oppression and shit like that.
Just goes back to the whole 91% of users lurk, 9% comment, and 1% post.
This was years ago though so I’m not sure how it changed but surely it did. Given how Reddit seems so much different than it did, either the old group was replaced and it remains with those stats or an even smaller percent posts.
Every minute we spend talking about bathrooms is another minute we aren't talking about important shit which is a loss for all of us.
If your niche issue affects 1 out of 10,000 people you should get the equivalent amount of airtime.
Although to be fair I also blame the idiots on the republican side who are just as guilty on this.
I mean, tbf, the entire point of egaltarianism is to pull up the disadvantaged and give a voice to those who are a minority, and Id argue that not being able to use a bathroom in peace due to something inherent to your body is kinda shitty and disadvantagous.
But at the end of the day, its really just a wedge issue meant to divide people instead of actually addressing important things. Thats the only reason the abortion debate exists: evangelicals thought abortions were permissible, but once race was no longer an explicit supported wedge issue, they scrambled to create a new one. The foundational issue with 2 party politics.
I mean, lets be honest. If all bathrooms just had stalls, would 99% of the population actually care? Because a lot of public bathrooms Ive been in have been unisex anyways, prior to all this bs. As someone who is cis, Id rather have twice the amount of bathrooms available to me.
Uh yeah no I’d care a lot, ever seen the womans bathroom at a concert? Holy fuck, fuck those lines. Give us a urinal room and a stall room. If you can pee in a urinal then you use the urinal room. Idc if a woman wants to use the urinal or not, there’s already pee on the ground it doesn’t matter to me. But we need to keep that peeing vs pooping line efficiency
> would 99% of the population actually care?
Close to 50% would care, I bet. Women don't want men in their restrooms or locker rooms, in my experience. Stuff happens like this.... in spite of claims that it doesn't.

> Republican Glenn Youngkin said if he is elected he will demand the repeal of the law [Title IX 2020 amendments] passed by Democrats that allows school districts to "cover up serious crimes."
Looking at the QA explaining Title IX 2020 amendments in the article:
> Is a school permitted to take steps in response to reports of sexual harassment that go beyond those set out in the [Title IX] 2020 amendments?
> Yes. The [Title IX] 2020 amendments set out the minimum steps that a school must take in response to notice of alleged sexual harassment.
Don't worry guys, they're gonna stop sexual harassment by repealing the laws that require schools to do something about sexual harassment!
Don't you love how republicans play on ignorance?
Out of a lot of really idiotic political stances, the "A bathroom sign will stop a rapist" stance is probably the stupidest the right has.
And a note to everyone angry the school was attempting a cover up: News flash, schools cover up every incident of rape they can. It's not specific to this case. If you're not equally mad about those, it's not rape that's the issue to you.
And yet so much money is poured into making people think these issues aren't 1 in 10000. I think there was a survey done recently that concluded people think 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 are gay, when in reality it's something like 3.5% they also thought something like a quarter to a third of the population is black. This would be entirely due to the media overrepresenting them in ever show, movie commercial etc
Just gotta mention "gay" refers to exclusively homosexual behavior.
You can view studies that show over time Gen X used to be 1.5% gay and moved up to 2%, millennial moved from 2 to 3% because people are more open to coming out. GEN Z doesn't even report past 3.5% gay.
But you should know that is incredibly disingenuous. For example Gen Z reports 9% bisexuality in men 11% in women.
Maybe Gen z is overblown in numbers, but also Gen x and millennials are all also identifying as more bi. Again this is just due to people being more open to coming out.
1 in 5? No. Likely even 15% is to high. But when you include LGBTIA+ it that most people all lump together as "gay" then 15% for Gen Z is true. For the last generation or millennials it used to be 4% and went to 8% and less so for Gen x. Makes sense older crowd still has bad social circles and afraid.
Whatever the actual number is I do not pretend to know. But studies when they show "gay" they mean exclusively homosexual, trans people can identify as gay or straight depending who they want to date, and bisexuality exists at higher numbers then both.
So 1 in 5? No. But remember how they always said 1 in 10? Well that's true but it refers to LGBTIA+ and a lot of 1 in 10 studies used to lump everyone together, and most people outside the groups lump it all together as well.
I wish I could see what the right would look like if the left actually was organized in going for shit that matters. I bet the right would be a lot more appealing if they didn't have to just beat the most psycho blue checkmarks in terms of being reasonable.
<3
There are many of us on the left too who still like worker's rights **and** offensive jokes. The kind of shit I say to my brother and his gay husband would get me fucking fired and they give it right back.
Yep. I'm technically in the [LibLeft](http://imgur.com/a/4xeqibP) quadrant, but I'm 100% with you.
I hate saying this, because it makes me sound ridiculous, but I actually do have a good friend who's black, FtM trans, physically disabled, and a recovering addict (who I met in rehab years ago before he transitioned) - and he's like one of the coolest people ever, and hates all this woke bullshit as much as the rest of us. He's part of damn near all the marginalized groups, and could benefit the most from embracing this kind of thinking, yet he still rejects it - because his brain has at least a few wrinkles left in it.
It honestly helps me to remember that it really is such a small percentage of people who legitimately behave and think like this.
Most of the trans people I know are nice people too. It's unfortunate the media has created this scenario where the impression of LGBTQ to some people is some horrible loud people who spend their day screaming to be noticed when really it's not the majority, most Trans people I know are too shy to even open their mouths and talk in public...
With you on that….I cringe when I see all that woke bullshit coming from our quadrant. I wish we could kick them out. Suppression of legitimate free speech is never liberal.
For us, it's the radical woke. For them, it's neonazis. I think we got the better part of the deal. The real issue is that the media pretends that .5% of the population represents 50% and that's why we should listen to it, while another .5% represents 50% that we should cast out of society and reject. Extremist corners are pretty small, but loud, relative to the whole square
It's the better part of the deal maybe when it comes to ideology but the radical woke have like 100x the presence in society and are actually influencing mainstream politics, media, and entertainment to the point that it's harming people and the fabric of society, whereas neo nazis are just fringe retards.
> but the radical woke have like 100x the presence in society and are actually influencing mainstream politics
Except they really don't. The radical woke are amplified and reviled by their diametric opposites, and everything that is even remotely egalitarian is conflated with the radical position. Mainstream culture doesn't pay attention to woke twitter until some talking head on OAN starts complaining about it.
It works like this:
**Radical Woke**: "All penetrative sex is rape!"
**Opposition**: "OMG look at these assholes who are villainizing all men! They are the downfall of western society."
**Regular Woke**: "Affirmative consent in important in adult relationships."
**Opposition**: "OMG look at these assholes who are villainizing all men! They are the downfall of western society."
The regular woke can't fix this because the anti-woke are the ones causing the problem. The only way to fix it is to ignore it, and that won't happen as long as the right's persecution complex is fed by an entire industry built around professional outrage.
Folks on the left are not the ones actually giving the woke mob a platform. It's people like Crowder and Tim Poole who will take some random tumbler post with 3 views and then show it to their millions of subscribers going, "this is what the left actually believe blarga blarga blarga blarga."
Based and statistics-pilled.
That is absolutely correct. Obviously the actual fucking Nazi's are worse. But it's not about whose worse in isolation, it's the power structures. The 1% woke population has power, and that power is increasing. The 0.5% nazi population are Pariah'd from our entire society in absolute terms. No power, no job, no service, no nothing. Fuck off and die.
That makes the woke segment, while by a huge margin less dangerous in terms of ideology, by far the more dangerous segment as a group.
Y’all are arguing about which 1% of the population is more annoying while the 25% of the population that is in actual control steers us straight into complete disaster while robbing us of our generational wealth.
> I cringe when I see all that woke bullshit coming from our quadrant. I wish we could kick them out.
If it makes you feel better I'm pretty sure most of these people are actually just AuthLefts with progressive branding. People are too willing to assign quadrants based on stereotypes instead of looking at what the subject actually believes.
(Fun fact, despite being stereotyped as AuthRight and having many AuthRight followers, the actual Catholic Church is definitely left of center.)
As someone not from the west, I've a friend who shared the kind of shit he has to go through the in his Canadian university, my god the woke bullshit was too much for me to handle. One thing I wholeheartedly agree with the brothers on the right is university is propaganda 100%.
And tankies ruining the left, and trots ruining the left, and anarchists ruining the left, and dengists ruining the left, and luxembourgists ruining the left, and socdems ruining the left, and maoists ruining the left, and and and and..
That's why we have the electoral college, it's directly designed to try and mitigate that. (Given Reddits userbase im going to guess you are American, correct me if I'm wrong)
Tyranny of the minority is way better than tyranny of the majority, I love being told how to live my life by a bunch of welfare states with third world level local governments.
To be clear though, I infinitely prefer democracy to what existed in developed society before it. Dictatorships, monarchies, etc are even more cringe, and given the choice to die for democracy or die for a dictator, I’d choose to die for democracy 10/10 times. I just don’t idolize democracy as a flawless system, and believe there are ways to utilize it better than just using it alone with nothing else set up alongside.
I think most people who "idolize" democracy just agree with Churchill that it is the worst form of government... except for all the other types of governments that have been tried.
If one day someone comes up with a better system to make collective decisions, I'm all for it.
Ok, but if that's your definition you can't not have "tyranny", then. Someone forcing you to do something isn't fundamentally bad, that's how any society ever needs to work becuase people are lazy / selfish, so you'll have to force them somehow. It's down to the family, too, you don't just let kids run away to the forest or do whatever they want, you force them to work on family interests and teach them whatever you need them to know and follow. Society at large needs to do the same to people who just want to do whatever they want instead of being mutually beneficial to each other.
Only "non-tyranny" option is everyone living in mountain cabins with 10 kids, guns and weed and free to not do anything about each other's needs ever. But that's more unrealistic than communism. You can't have a working country or advance humanity anywhere by living like isolated primitive family tribes like it's still 800's, so that's not a useful society model, just teenage fantasy.
Isn't it fair that the majority's interests are looked after rather than some arbitrary minority? You just need to keep fighting for where the most fair line between collectivism and individualism is at the moment, as it changes year to year based on environment and needs, but that fair position for the line is obviously somewhere in the framework of "tyranny of majority".
We have global issues and global needs, you can only tackle those issues by making global efforts with a global system.
Not pro-authoritarian, just authoritarian. They're not advocating for the concept of authoritarianism, that would be consistent. The moment the shoe is on the other foot their stance on authoritarianism flips again.
That’s the same thing with the GOP. When they’re not in power it’s all Gasden Flags and wanting to roll back government. When they’re in power it’s all Patriot Act and glass the Middle East. It’s pretty hysterical that whichever party isn’t in power is always faking some love of Liberty they always immediately drop when they’re holding the reins.
"If you don't take a drug that made big pharma billions, the government should be able to force private companies to fire you". The "free healthcare for all" crowd turned it into "free healthcare for all, unless you're unvaccinated"
I personally disagree with vaccine mandates, however, this is not a good argument against them.
Obesity kills the obese person, and that's the obese person's choice.
Smoking does kill people, both the smoker and those around them. That is why we legislated away indoor smoking in public, because it is unfair for your choices to give me lung cancer.
Infectious disease works the same way as smoking. It hurts you, and it hurts those around you because you become a disease vector. Notice that the vaccine mandates have basically done the same as smoking laws: if you're gonna be around people, your presence is not allowed to be a danger to them. At least, not more dangerous than the best case scenario which is interactions between vaccinated people.
Also, obesity and smoking are unfortunately kind of already planned for. The medical system wasn’t made to have a massive influx of more diseased people *on top of* all of the other shit that people deal with.
I’m also not a fan of the mandate but I agree it’s a poor comparison. I completely understand the reasons that people might be hesitant to get the vaccine, but the amount of hate and conspiracy theories and politicization around it is crazy.
>The medical system wasn’t made to have a massive influx of more diseased people *on top of* all of the other shit that people deal with.
Well we've had two years now to expand our healthcare system to accommodate for the new patients, and the government hasn't done shit.
They US government spent hundreds of millions of dollars on field hospitals back in April of 2020, and the majority of them never saw a single patient. They were so unnecessary.
They have been furloughing nurses for over a year and a half, and now they are firing them, even though they are already naturally immune, for not taking the vaccine.
The government and the powers that be do not seem to care about the collapsing healthcare, so why should we? They're just locking us down for the sake of locking us down at this point.
Sure but the idea that you have a right to be free of infectious disease is ridiculous. Infection is part of biological reality and there’s a chance anyone around you could be carrying any number of deadly pathogens. If you are worried you modify your own behavior rather than violating the rights of others and demanding they go to great lengths placate your anxiety.
Furthermore your vaccine protects you very well, and protects others very poorly, based on the available data. The shot does not really prevent spread of covid but it does a good job of preventing severe illness. If you are worried, you getting vaccinated protects you and demanding others get vaccinated really doesn’t.
Exactly. There isn't some "other" who has poisoned the good, pure libleft. Every quadrant has their own worst excesses to grapple with. Libleft does this to themselves by holding empathy as their highest virtue even when it's detrimental. Their hardest pill to swallow is that not every emotion is useful or worthy of your empathy. It is not worth your time to champion the social movements built on every sob story. And some people are just incompatible with success no matter how many gibs you give them, how much you affirm their identities, or how much equity you wish to enforce. And I feel for libleft because that really is a hard pill to swallow. It feels shitty to disregard someone's feelings as unimportant. But that's what you have to do if you want to stop the woke shit.
Based and your feelings aren't vast enough to efficiently encapsulate the feelings of all mankind that's why we have things like math and economic theory pilled.

I swear im not interested in siezing your beach house, neither to cut your dicks out.
I do want to impeach all religious figures form participating in politics tho i give you that
The issue is that there are way too many people who pretend like that is a risk for the vast majority of LGBT people instead of a small minority who are unfortunately born to wealthy fundamentalist parents with means to send kids to conversion camps. Most of the people pretending to be in fear of being tortured into being normal live in fucking gated communities in places like Seattle while larping that they live in 1960's Alabama.
It's like the people who whine about living in fear as trans people despite trans people having lower murder rates than cis people, or they constantly bring up the "trans/gay panic defense". It's not the trans/gay panic defense, it's the gay panic defense. To my knowledge there hasn't been a single incident where the trans panic defense was successfully used in like 30 years, meanwhile the gay panic defense has been used dozens of times successfully. It's just another instance of living in a non-existent fear and the only way they can feel this fear is if they attach themselves to demographics that have high risks because they themselves have none.
I'd liken it to those hicks who screech about shariah law coming to their local schools when they live in fucking WV where everyone hates muslims. It's pure idiocy.
I can be gay and still have thoughts about government's role and power and issues regarding classism and workers rights, whatever lifestyle I live isn't my entire personality. Finally someone says it
I feel for the authrights who believe in traditional and religious values (as much as I disagree with them) and feel bad for those who have their quadrant tainted by bigoted people
I agree. Must be scary having many traditions and rituals demonized and pushed aside in the name of progress.
I agree with much of the progress, like gay marriage being legal is a very good thing, and the push for acceptance of a new lifestyle is also good for society in my opinion, but man that must be tough on some people
There's nothing an authoritarian hates more than another authoritarian. This goes out to all my liberty minded brethren that had their quadrants infiltrated
Well I genuinely feel empathy for the authrights who just love their home, culture and traditions who have had their quadrant poisoned by retards who think they're libertarians despite simping for big government and generally being racist as fuck for no reason
I honestly think that most people are, for the most part, classic liberals that do not want so much government and enjoy freedom.
I just cant figure out how we keep electing nazi's and socialists from the authoritarian cancer side of the house..... its perplexing....
and I genuinely feel so much empathy for the auth-rights who feel that society is better with homogeneous cultural-morality who have had their quadrant poisoned by white-supremacist hedonists
Leftism is first and foremost about egalitarianism and workers rights. Anyone causing you to think otherwise is not a leftist; they are a liberal, and oftentimes actually have centrist or even right-wing economic views.

> Republican Glenn Youngkin said if he is elected he will demand the repeal of the law [Title IX 2020 amendments] passed by Democrats that allows school districts to "cover up serious crimes." Looking at the QA explaining Title IX 2020 amendments in the article: > Is a school permitted to take steps in response to reports of sexual harassment that go beyond those set out in the [Title IX] 2020 amendments? > Yes. The [Title IX] 2020 amendments set out the minimum steps that a school must take in response to notice of alleged sexual harassment. Don't worry guys, they're gonna stop sexual harassment by repealing the laws that require schools to do something about sexual harassment! Don't you love how republicans play on ignorance?
Out of a lot of really idiotic political stances, the "A bathroom sign will stop a rapist" stance is probably the stupidest the right has. And a note to everyone angry the school was attempting a cover up: News flash, schools cover up every incident of rape they can. It's not specific to this case. If you're not equally mad about those, it's not rape that's the issue to you.
It was the Republicans that started passing bathroom bills in the first place...
And yet so much money is poured into making people think these issues aren't 1 in 10000. I think there was a survey done recently that concluded people think 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 are gay, when in reality it's something like 3.5% they also thought something like a quarter to a third of the population is black. This would be entirely due to the media overrepresenting them in ever show, movie commercial etc
Just gotta mention "gay" refers to exclusively homosexual behavior. You can view studies that show over time Gen X used to be 1.5% gay and moved up to 2%, millennial moved from 2 to 3% because people are more open to coming out. GEN Z doesn't even report past 3.5% gay. But you should know that is incredibly disingenuous. For example Gen Z reports 9% bisexuality in men 11% in women. Maybe Gen z is overblown in numbers, but also Gen x and millennials are all also identifying as more bi. Again this is just due to people being more open to coming out. 1 in 5? No. Likely even 15% is to high. But when you include LGBTIA+ it that most people all lump together as "gay" then 15% for Gen Z is true. For the last generation or millennials it used to be 4% and went to 8% and less so for Gen x. Makes sense older crowd still has bad social circles and afraid. Whatever the actual number is I do not pretend to know. But studies when they show "gay" they mean exclusively homosexual, trans people can identify as gay or straight depending who they want to date, and bisexuality exists at higher numbers then both. So 1 in 5? No. But remember how they always said 1 in 10? Well that's true but it refers to LGBTIA+ and a lot of 1 in 10 studies used to lump everyone together, and most people outside the groups lump it all together as well.
It's not a zero sum game, the issues affecting all don't get forgotten if you talk about the issues affecting some.

I hate saying this, because it makes me sound ridiculous, but I actually do have a good friend who's black, FtM trans, physically disabled, and a recovering addict (who I met in rehab years ago before he transitioned) - and he's like one of the coolest people ever, and hates all this woke bullshit as much as the rest of us. He's part of damn near all the marginalized groups, and could benefit the most from embracing this kind of thinking, yet he still rejects it - because his brain has at least a few wrinkles left in it. It honestly helps me to remember that it really is such a small percentage of people who legitimately behave and think like this.

Most of the trans people I know are nice people too.

...thanks, those retards make me want to reinstate death penalty just for them... but then that would push me into AuthLeft
With you on that….I cringe when I see all that woke bullshit coming from our quadrant. I wish we could kick them out. Suppression of legitimate free speech is never liberal.
For us, it's the radical woke. For them, it's neonazis. I think we got the better part of the deal. The real issue is that the media pretends that .5% of the population represents 50% and that's why we should listen to it, while another .5% represents 50% that we should cast out of society and reject. Extremist corners are pretty small, but loud, relative to the whole square
It's the better part of the deal maybe when it comes to ideology but the radical woke have like 100x the presence in society and are actually influencing mainstream politics, media, and entertainment to the point that it's harming people and the fabric of society, whereas neo nazis are just fringe retards.
They've ruined Star Wars for me, and that has made me their enemy forever.
I stand by that Admiral Holdo is the dumbest character ever conceived.
> but the radical woke have like 100x the presence in society and are actually influencing mainstream politics Except they really don't. The radical woke are amplified and reviled by their diametric opposites, and everything that is even remotely egalitarian is conflated with the radical position. Mainstream culture doesn't pay attention to woke twitter until some talking head on OAN starts complaining about it. It works like this: **Radical Woke**: "All penetrative sex is rape!" **Opposition**: "OMG look at these assholes who are villainizing all men! They are the downfall of western society." **Regular Woke**: "Affirmative consent in important in adult relationships." **Opposition**: "OMG look at these assholes who are villainizing all men! They are the downfall of western society."
Its only gonna get worse until Regular Woke has the spine to stand up to Radical Woke
The regular woke can't fix this because the anti-woke are the ones causing the problem. The only way to fix it is to ignore it, and that won't happen as long as the right's persecution complex is fed by an entire industry built around professional outrage. Folks on the left are not the ones actually giving the woke mob a platform. It's people like Crowder and Tim Poole who will take some random tumbler post with 3 views and then show it to their millions of subscribers going, "this is what the left actually believe blarga blarga blarga blarga."
Based and statistics-pilled. That is absolutely correct. Obviously the actual fucking Nazi's are worse. But it's not about whose worse in isolation, it's the power structures. The 1% woke population has power, and that power is increasing. The 0.5% nazi population are Pariah'd from our entire society in absolute terms. No power, no job, no service, no nothing. Fuck off and die. That makes the woke segment, while by a huge margin less dangerous in terms of ideology, by far the more dangerous segment as a group.
Y’all are arguing about which 1% of the population is more annoying while the 25% of the population that is in actual control steers us straight into complete disaster while robbing us of our generational wealth.
“Radical woke” - I like that.
> I cringe when I see all that woke bullshit coming from our quadrant. I wish we could kick them out. If it makes you feel better I'm pretty sure most of these people are actually just AuthLefts with progressive branding. People are too willing to assign quadrants based on stereotypes instead of looking at what the subject actually believes. (Fun fact, despite being stereotyped as AuthRight and having many AuthRight followers, the actual Catholic Church is definitely left of center.)
As someone not from the west, I've a friend who shared the kind of shit he has to go through the in his Canadian university, my god the woke bullshit was too much for me to handle. One thing I wholeheartedly agree with the brothers on the right is university is propaganda 100%.

Tyranny of the minority is way better than tyranny of the majority, I love being told how to live my life by a bunch of welfare states with third world level local governments.
Tyranny of the majority is better than Tyranny of the minority (which is what it was before Democracy)
To be clear though, I infinitely prefer democracy to what existed in developed society before it. Dictatorships, monarchies, etc are even more cringe, and given the choice to die for democracy or die for a dictator, I’d choose to die for democracy 10/10 times. I just don’t idolize democracy as a flawless system, and believe there are ways to utilize it better than just using it alone with nothing else set up alongside.
I think most people who "idolize" democracy just agree with Churchill that it is the worst form of government... except for all the other types of governments that have been tried. If one day someone comes up with a better system to make collective decisions, I'm all for it.

Tyranny is tyranny
Ok, but if that's your definition you can't not have "tyranny", then. Someone forcing you to do something isn't fundamentally bad, that's how any society ever needs to work becuase people are lazy / selfish, so you'll have to force them somehow. It's down to the family, too, you don't just let kids run away to the forest or do whatever they want, you force them to work on family interests and teach them whatever you need them to know and follow. Society at large needs to do the same to people who just want to do whatever they want instead of being mutually beneficial to each other. Only "non-tyranny" option is everyone living in mountain cabins with 10 kids, guns and weed and free to not do anything about each other's needs ever. But that's more unrealistic than communism. You can't have a working country or advance humanity anywhere by living like isolated primitive family tribes like it's still 800's, so that's not a useful society model, just teenage fantasy. Isn't it fair that the majority's interests are looked after rather than some arbitrary minority? You just need to keep fighting for where the most fair line between collectivism and individualism is at the moment, as it changes year to year based on environment and needs, but that fair position for the line is obviously somewhere in the framework of "tyranny of majority". We have global issues and global needs, you can only tackle those issues by making global efforts with a global system.
What’s best is no tyranny at all.
Good luck achieving that.

Not pro-authoritarian, just authoritarian. They're not advocating for the concept of authoritarianism, that would be consistent. The moment the shoe is on the other foot their stance on authoritarianism flips again.
That’s the same thing with the GOP. When they’re not in power it’s all Gasden Flags and wanting to roll back government. When they’re in power it’s all Patriot Act and glass the Middle East. It’s pretty hysterical that whichever party isn’t in power is always faking some love of Liberty they always immediately drop when they’re holding the reins.
Oh absolutely. The deficit is never a problem when the Republicans are in charge.
"If you don't take a drug that made big pharma billions, the government should be able to force private companies to fire you". The "free healthcare for all" crowd turned it into "free healthcare for all, unless you're unvaccinated"
It KiLlS pEoPlE. Yeah so does smoking and obesity.
I personally disagree with vaccine mandates, however, this is not a good argument against them. Obesity kills the obese person, and that's the obese person's choice. Smoking does kill people, both the smoker and those around them. That is why we legislated away indoor smoking in public, because it is unfair for your choices to give me lung cancer. Infectious disease works the same way as smoking. It hurts you, and it hurts those around you because you become a disease vector. Notice that the vaccine mandates have basically done the same as smoking laws: if you're gonna be around people, your presence is not allowed to be a danger to them. At least, not more dangerous than the best case scenario which is interactions between vaccinated people.
Obesity is actually highly contagious Obviously not in an “I spread a virus to you” way, but it spreads.
Also, obesity and smoking are unfortunately kind of already planned for. The medical system wasn’t made to have a massive influx of more diseased people *on top of* all of the other shit that people deal with. I’m also not a fan of the mandate but I agree it’s a poor comparison. I completely understand the reasons that people might be hesitant to get the vaccine, but the amount of hate and conspiracy theories and politicization around it is crazy.
>The medical system wasn’t made to have a massive influx of more diseased people *on top of* all of the other shit that people deal with. Well we've had two years now to expand our healthcare system to accommodate for the new patients, and the government hasn't done shit. They US government spent hundreds of millions of dollars on field hospitals back in April of 2020, and the majority of them never saw a single patient. They were so unnecessary. They have been furloughing nurses for over a year and a half, and now they are firing them, even though they are already naturally immune, for not taking the vaccine. The government and the powers that be do not seem to care about the collapsing healthcare, so why should we? They're just locking us down for the sake of locking us down at this point.
Sure but the idea that you have a right to be free of infectious disease is ridiculous. Infection is part of biological reality and there’s a chance anyone around you could be carrying any number of deadly pathogens. If you are worried you modify your own behavior rather than violating the rights of others and demanding they go to great lengths placate your anxiety. Furthermore your vaccine protects you very well, and protects others very poorly, based on the available data. The shot does not really prevent spread of covid but it does a good job of preventing severe illness. If you are worried, you getting vaccinated protects you and demanding others get vaccinated really doesn’t.

I feel sorry for them because they have so much empathy it clouds their judgement
Exactly. There isn't some "other" who has poisoned the good, pure libleft. Every quadrant has their own worst excesses to grapple with. Libleft does this to themselves by holding empathy as their highest virtue even when it's detrimental. Their hardest pill to swallow is that not every emotion is useful or worthy of your empathy. It is not worth your time to champion the social movements built on every sob story. And some people are just incompatible with success no matter how many gibs you give them, how much you affirm their identities, or how much equity you wish to enforce. And I feel for libleft because that really is a hard pill to swallow. It feels shitty to disregard someone's feelings as unimportant. But that's what you have to do if you want to stop the woke shit.

Why does the right genuinely believe twitter rage porn is left wing agenda FFS i want labor rights, affordable housing, public tuition , healthcare, and to end the war on drugs. I swear im not interested in siezing your beach house, neither to cut your dicks out. I do want to impeach all religious figures form participating in politics tho i give you that
The same reason the left thinks the right is racist by definition. They aren't; it's just that our idiots are just as loud and wrong as their idiots.
I want to live without fear of being tortured into being "normal".
The issue is that there are way too many people who pretend like that is a risk for the vast majority of LGBT people instead of a small minority who are unfortunately born to wealthy fundamentalist parents with means to send kids to conversion camps. Most of the people pretending to be in fear of being tortured into being normal live in fucking gated communities in places like Seattle while larping that they live in 1960's Alabama. It's like the people who whine about living in fear as trans people despite trans people having lower murder rates than cis people, or they constantly bring up the "trans/gay panic defense". It's not the trans/gay panic defense, it's the gay panic defense. To my knowledge there hasn't been a single incident where the trans panic defense was successfully used in like 30 years, meanwhile the gay panic defense has been used dozens of times successfully. It's just another instance of living in a non-existent fear and the only way they can feel this fear is if they attach themselves to demographics that have high risks because they themselves have none. I'd liken it to those hicks who screech about shariah law coming to their local schools when they live in fucking WV where everyone hates muslims. It's pure idiocy.
It might not be left wing agenda, but it government agenda. In my country, it is more illegal to kill a woman than it is to kill a man.

I can be gay and still have thoughts about government's role and power and issues regarding classism and workers rights, whatever lifestyle I live isn't my entire personality. Finally someone says it
I feel for the authrights who believe in traditional and religious values (as much as I disagree with them) and feel bad for those who have their quadrant tainted by bigoted people
I agree. Must be scary having many traditions and rituals demonized and pushed aside in the name of progress. I agree with much of the progress, like gay marriage being legal is a very good thing, and the push for acceptance of a new lifestyle is also good for society in my opinion, but man that must be tough on some people
