"I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative" John Stuart Mill
And i'd like to fight him and beat his teeth into his throat . I hate this people so much.
Remember, conservative brains are literally abnormal. They have enlarged regions dealing with fear and disgust. They should be given special treatment, but not allowed to in charge of anything more complicated than a butter knife.
What you're advocating for is authoritarianism and eugenics.
I'm all for it.
😬 this isn't removing the filibuster .. legitimate argument for "what about when the tables are turned?"
If you dont allow Nazis to exist the tables can't turn.
You people ALWAYS argue from the standpoint of defending Nazis and pretending they'll be nice when they get control if you're nice to them.
You dont know who you're dealing with.
Why does everyone always pick me to yell things I don't disagree with on here? I made a comment that creating a weapon like that would be dangerous in anyone's hands. What does that have to do with giving Nazis an inch?
Er… no one mentioned eugenics but you.
Surely it's not a stretch to see how statements like "they should be given special treatment, but not allowed to [be] in charge of anything more complicated than a butter knife" leads straight into eugenics.
I hate to both-sides this, because the people covering up Nex's death are monsters, but discourse like this is nearly identical to the things the transphobes are saying.
We have to find solutions for these social problems that aren't authoritarian or lean into eugenics. In the case of trans rights, I think that's by appealing to peoples desire to have freedom of self expression.
Except we absolutely should corral and restrict conservatives. They're literally trying to kill us all. There's ZERO "both-sides" here.
It’s such a leap as to be almost satirical sounding.
We don’t let children be in charge of things, do we sterilize them?
I don’t even agree with the fact that they shouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of things, but the fact that you went straight to eugenics is on you, and quite obviously not part of the original posters intent.
The parent post says:
Remember, conservative brains are literally abnormal. They have enlarged regions dealing with fear and disgust.
This reminds me strongly of the pseudoscience surrounding phrenology and how that was used to discriminate against minorities.
Furthermore, the post goes on to say:
They should be given special treatment, but not allowed to in charge of anything more complicated than a butter knife.
This sort of language leads straight into justifying discrimination based on physical attributes. Advocating for the removal of self determination from political groups should always be given massive side-eye.
These transphobes' ideologies need to be rejected on their merits, not by saying, as one of the replies says, "this needs to be brought up daily till our republican buddies realize they are becoming a sub class of underperformed human."
This is more than flirting with the language of eugenics.
In this case, the changes to the brain are due to ideology, and the way they think is quite literally different. It’s also been shown that it can be reversed.
It’s similar to the way porn addiction changes the way you perceive the world. Everything becomes a trigger, everything is sexualized. In the conservative mind, everything is out to get them.
Now, does that mean they should be hunted down and culled? Of course not, because that’s insane. Just like we don’t hunt down addicts, ADHD individuals, or dyslexic individuals. All of which have abnormal brain changes that can somewhat be measured with scientific tooling.
But I feel the need to point out, ADHD individuals are barred from attaining a pilots license without going through more rigorous testing to show they are up to the task. Yet we let any old village idiot run the government.
I'm not arguing what to do with conservatives, I'm pointing out the authoritarian language being used here as hypocrisy.
You can't ever truly get rid of undemocratic elements of a society while remaining democratic, because the only way to do so is undemocratic.
In the fight against fascism we must preserve democracy. I want accountability for these people, but not through vigilante justice, or authoritarian government actions. Remember how terrible it was when Trump separated refugee families at the border and ICE intentionally didn't keep records to prevent families from being reunited later?
If we empower the government to do that sort of thing to undesirables, it could be used by fascists or otherwise authoritarian figures to punish those who disagree with them.
They are a danger to society.
That's the same thing that Nazis say about undesirables.
That's the same thing we say about Nazis.
Conservative politics are not a race, so equating these comments to eugenics is kind of dumb. People choose to have political opinions, but don't get to choose their race.
Yes! I have come to the conclusion that it is actually a medical disorder.

This needs to be brought up daily till our republican buddies realize they are becoming a sub class of underperformed human.
So basically Republicans operate based on fear, while Democrats operate cognitively
Shocker.
He was looking in a mirror when he said it.
Have you read their policy papers on projection? It's a fundamental component of their strategy 😜
The ten "suggestions" are woke propaganda. /s
Wants: high rate of child death via guns, incest babies, rape babies, women victimised for life, teens bullied to death
Does not want: people with their own lives or opinions that affect no one else on the planet.
America, where abortion is being made illegal because "aww lives awe pwecious uwu" but then lawmakers say stupid fucking bullshit like that which makes me want to [redacted]
I am from Oklahoma and this asshole double down today and does not regret what he said. If I wouldn't go to prison I would (redacted) this asshole.
So much for the "love thy neighbour shit"
They never meant it anyway
This person got assaulted and murdered in a school bathroom. It doesn't matter their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, or anything else. Literally none of that matters because let me reiterate: A living breathing human being was assaulted and fucking murdered in a school bathroom. This person had their life taken away from them in highschool and the only thing you can say is you "don't want that filth" in Oklahoma? If all you want to do is shit on other people's life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness you might as well go fuck yourself with an American flag since it's basically the same fucking thing anyway.
Sorry for the rant... This shit just really pisses me off. I just hope one day he can feel as hopeless as Nex probably did in that bathroom.
To people like this, if you're queer, you're not a real person. Because your soul is already damned. So they don't have to care what happens to you anymore.
I'm with them, when they say, they don't want that filth. The only difference is, that I have a different view on who the filth is in this case...
Can we give Oklahoma to Texas when they secede?
As someone that lives in Oklahoma because I can't afford to leave, yeah fuck that.
Of course, with resettlement aid for those that would prefer not to, you know.
Quickest 180 ever, hell yeah I'm down
Why let them take an entire piece of land and further ruin the lives of countless present and future generations?
Push all arseholes into the ocean and call it a day.
And anger the orcas??
Naw, we'd be feeding the orcas
They don’t eat junk food.
I don’t particularly want to deal with land remediation?
You know that whole "dumb Texas" bit that Patrick does? That's Oklahoma to us.
So…. That’s not a “no”…
And kind a makes me go …. “Good!”
Shit, you drive a hard bargain
"The United States of Texas and it's own dumb Texas"
Not sure, it doesn't roll that smoothly.
Nope, we don't want that filth near our border.
