that way, you can better understand their human driven actions

It’s easy to understand hurting others for profit. It’s not even slightly interesting, and the world would be better without it.

Yet this isn’t even bigotry. It’s straight out xenophobia and hatred.

Bigotry is the broader category containing racism, xenophobia, and hatred based on perception of belonging to a group.

Definition of bigotry: “obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.”

Bigotry isn’t ‘less bad than’ racism or xenophobia. Hating people for being from another country is one type of bigotry.

Cool!

No, it’s less cool, now.

IMMIGRANTS BAD

“What have immigrants done wrong?”

IMMIGRANTS BAD

“But immigrants are propping up our society.”

IMMIGRANTS BAD

Bigotry is illogical, and there is no reasoning with it.

An ideology of “I won’t listen to you because I’m motivated to oppress everyone else for my own gain,” is, most definitely, going to make the world worse. And this will be entirely on purpose, and no one will apologise.

EXCLUSIVE: Human-shaped bag of hate was hateful before they wrote ‘I FUCKING HATE YOU’ on the faces of all their children and on the doors of local schools.

Socrates said that the state paying teachers would just incentivise teachers to teach in line with the values of the leaders. I work within education, and he was right, there is enormous pressure to do so.

The same applies to the media.

Fucking idiots polio is gonna come back.

“Polio killed my children… and evil FEMINISTS did it.”

I wish I was joking because I knew this would never happen.

A pandemic of thermonuclear climate change.

I’m not convinced that this will eliminate the homophobic state government in states which vote for Republicans.

We’ll never find out, because corruption is not going away.

Hi, I have a penis. I have observed (autistic superpower: bottom-up perception) male fragility in psychological state more than that of women. “Sometimes people have fragile psychological states and react in ways I find annoying,” is generally true, but it is more often true for men.

It might also be that women tend more to internalise slights because they are socialised to be passive. This would result in men being more responsive when they are slighted by, for example, period products being free “because what about men?!?!” Ignoring the fact condoms are given away for free, and are health products that are useful for men (as well as women).

I am a Psychologist. They gain status from being assholes, because enough people privilege assholes with status. Authoritarianism requires an outgroup to oppress, and people think that hostility and oppression is ‘strength’. The original theory (which is not entirely supported by evidence) of the Authoritarian Personality is based on Freud, and it says that a similar family dynamic of a powerful father who arbitrarily abuses and oppresses others is the basis.

I don’t know how, or if it’s even possible, to get back to the days when lying assholes got treated as lying assholes.

We need to send the assholes to space, where they can go fuck up some other planet.

(Yes, I know what happened to the Golgafrinchans when they sent all the middlemen - or the ‘useless population’ - in to space).

…dragging the Overton window further right.

I’m sure rich people giggle in glee at having two right-wing parties as the only possible options that will both promise to cut taxes for businesses and force poor people into wage slavery.

Pussies produce life, he just produces shit.

I fear that cops ARE tools of oppression.

Anything but old.reddit is beyond shit.

The only way I can explain such stupidity is by assuming malice, e.g.: “We must put endless fear into the poor people. Our decisions are moral, theirs are not.”

The eggs I buy in the UK have both a display date (for the shop) and a best before date (for the consumer). They’re a week different. The best before date is probably around 28 days after the egg was laid.
