For them, hate is fun (or the closest approximation thereof). It all makes sense after that.

Conservatives are really anti conservation for some strange reason.

That and The Onion could never outperform info wars in terms of absurdity... Still...

Greta Thunberg, swedish environmental activist and a favorite hate watch of conservatives.

It's only controversial for those who are being called out on being terrible people on a moral level.

May want to give that four years or so. It's just going to be predictable, depressing slog with no avenue to affect change between here and there

As a gay guy who's definitely been in the room for gay jokes because they didn't know I was gay: yes, you do. If you are only willing to call out bad behavior when you may get caught associating with it, then you aren't actually an ally.

I can only control my own behavior. I cannot force another to change, they have to want to. The only thing I can do is draw the lines I'm willing to live within and live by them. And if not associating with bad people, even if they are family, is what I need to live in a healthy way, so be it.

The paradox of tolerance is poorly named. Tolerance is part of the social contract and one that breaks the contract is no longer protected by it. The intolerant are excusing themselves from the contract and the rest of us can and should exclude them from the society they harmed.

Someone posted a follow up elsewhere. He did in fact mean it that way.

It's a bad faith argument and a strawman. They don't actually think it's reasonable for anyone to do that or think the other person is suggesting that. They are setting a person up as a hypocrite despite that obviously being an insufficient and inefficient solution to the housing crisis.

The poor do not have the ability to manipulate mass quantities of people, the rich do. Because they are rich and have the resources and connections to accomplish this. They buy politicians and manipulate to cause the conditions you describe. If they were not rich, they could not do that.

Blaming the poor for being manipulated is bad faith. And victim blaming is not an effective rallying strategy.
