“OK, so did you ever get profiled anytime in your life for being gay?” And she says, “Yeah, all the time. I hated it.” And I was like, “Well, do you realize that you just profiled me based off of the vehicle that I drive and me wearing work boots and being a big white guy as being a Nazi when it's completely something totally different?” And she broke down in tears and apologized.
Sure buddy. She totally didnt say: "Your nazi ass chose to buy this car despite Musk being a nazi, so go fuck yourself!"
What is it with rightists and thinking they have the codes to make us suddenly realize the error of our ways and agree with them entirely? Like, they think they have these rhetorical truth bombs they can just drop at a moments notice to un-woke-ify an entire room at once. But those are actually usually dogwhistles or slurs...
I feel like they think the same thing about us. Especially the odd time I try to explain something seemingly basic to them (say, 'innocent civilians shouldn't be bombed' for example.)
And it always falls on deaf ears.
I'm just cutting more and more of them out of my life at this point because their toxicity is so bad it affects my mental and emotional well being.

"It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is." [Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and convicted of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.
Hahahahahaha
Anything you don’t like about it?
I can't really see the front out of the windshield because it’s so long.
I don't have the cringe capacity to read the article, that cover image alone is so cringe-inducing already. What a bunch of posers. "Off-road lighting" which reduces departure angles, road tires, vinyl wrap. Clearly all of this is there just to look cooler in a mall parking lot. Taking a picture on a dirt track which I could take my Prius on (when I still had it) is just cherry on top.
I 100% guarantee my 30-year-old van with cheapo M/T and a slightly cut front bumper, is better at offroading than those pieces of simultaneously over- and under-engineered garbage. And I use it exclusively for off-road and camping, no city driving (except for helping my friends move).
Owning a truck for personal use is stupid and reckless (except for very specific circumstances which apply to like <1% of the population). But a Cybertruck is just so much dumber. It's like someone took the idea of a truck, stripped it of any potential use-cases it might have had, designed it in the worst way possible, and implemented it with as many reliability and safety issues as possible while keeping plausible deniability.
Lol I don't do any of that. I just laugh and shake my head. Nothing bakes these people's beans more than just not being taken seriously because of their own choices. Heh I just thought about how much they all paid for a ticking time bomb of failure points just to feel superior and really it just shows lack of understanding and judgement. Made me chuckle again. Dumbasses.
It's their post, I can't change what they said. It's unfortunate they're making feminists look bad by being racist. I mostly think the self victimization is the funny part.
Lots of "normal" feminists do that, too. Specifically, the ones that think "men" must be torn down in order to elevate women.
Anyone who thinks a group of people that aren't actually in power (not all men actually benefit from patriarchy/machismo) need to be torn down is just contributing to the rat race fucked up world they're whining about.
It's not "men" that need to be torn down. It's the systems that don't distribute power equitably. These days, it should be pretty damn obvious most men are also not in the "-archy" club.

Except the original post of that image is "conservative", not "Feminist". Someone literally did change it, specifically to make feminists look bad.

I'm down for that. Do you have a web archive link? I don't want to gaslight anyone.
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 17 pts · 311d
It originally said “conservative”. The edit is extremely obvious.

Katie Hopkins is a far right political commentator… highly doubt she considers herself a feminist.
Which is why the original tweet didn’t say that. You should probably apologize to that other person for flying off the handle.

They're not trying to establish what's correct, they're crying foul at people correcting them because it causes confusion, which is their real goal.
