If conservatives were capable of using logic, they wouldn’t be conservative

One group is transparently gaslighting themselves on a daily basis, on national channels that they own. We can safely say the R’s have an aversion to reality.

You’re absolutely right. We really should have more than 2 political parties.

Unless you were trying to make some other point.

ByteJunk@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 37d (31 replies)

You are purposely choosing to ignore the context in which the original statement was made, so that you can paint it as unfounded.

That's either pure intellectual dishonesty, or an exemplary demonstration of being incapable of logical thought, either of which seems to place you squarely in the demographic being targeted in this thread.

That's a distinction without a difference.

If you're looking to refute a point, then commit to it and argue properly. If you're trying to make a different point, then state it and provide your reasoning.

You did neither.

Not true! We've all heard of the communist part...

It's very annoying to see "you're only in the other camp because you're a dumb-dumb" rolled out as the logic espoused by two failed and crumbling political institutions.

It's two sinking ships and the captains only know how to give the order "point at the other boat and scoff harder!"

Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 36d (1 reply)

No, it's one sinking ship. Two captains alternate command. One side cordons off the holes with a velvet rope, the other is drilling holes to collect on the insurance money.

They both have insurance policies out on the boat.

Dicska@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 36d

Also, if you (as a man) think that showing you two men kissing might turn you gay then I've got news for you.

A true, confidently heterosexual man won't suddenly get turned on by men, even if you show them the entire 1973 Construction Worker Calendar. Same goes for women vice versa, but it's usually the men that are the loudest about this.

However, if you think your sexuality has always been rock solid (😏) then why do you assume the opposite of everyone else?

SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip · 56 pts · 37d (2 replies)

But women are feminine, and so kissing them is feminine, and that's gay.

What did he think about lesbians

ByteJunk@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 37d (1 reply)

That they probably were not, in fact, lesbians, just unfortunate girls who probably only ever dated one of them gay guys and haven't been with a true man yet, and that a night with them would cure them right up.

Just typing that made me throw up a little in my mouth, but met many a moron that believed this.

It won't work, because we all know that two men kissing is way hotter than a man and a woman kissing.

Nobody will be able to resist the allure of gay sex. It's too sexy. I can say this from personal experience.

Just wait till you see the lesbian version. Good stuff

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 35d (1 reply)

Wait hold on I have not considered this.

I just imagined two of my wife making kissy faces at me and it was really hot until the cat walked up and decided to make original wife and I jealous, and clone wife got to cuddle with the cat. So original wife and I were plotting with the other cat and the evil outside cat how to make sweet cat get off clone wife's lap and get on over to one of our laps (we had neither agreed nor decided, a truce had been called it was just important that one of us win the sweet cat's affection and not the clone) when

And it had long ago stopped being a sexy imagination times and turned into intercational geopolitics and wargames but you know what, intercational geopolitics can be sexy dammit.

Just be careful to never see or hear about any trans women having lesbian sex, because it could turn you trans and nothing makes conservatives crosser.

  1. Everything that’s not acceptable to conservatives is equally bad
  2. One of those things turns out not to be so bad
  3. What else might not be so bad?
  4. ???
  5. Kid now is going to hell and, worse, will grow up to vote for someone left of center or become trans or gay or whatever

That’s the worry. The ideology is fragile. Any single crack in the dam will result in a flood.

spiffmeister@aussie.zone · 22 pts · 35d (2 replies)

No a man and a woman kissing is neutral obviously. You would have to show them two women kissing to cancel it out.

andros_rex@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 36d (1 reply)

It’s like the “social contagion” and “rapid onset gender dysphoria” bullshit. Somehow being repeatedly told that you just need to be happy being a girl/boy is cancelled out instantly by seeing a trans person exist. Then they pretend that you just walk into a gender clinic and leave with a HRT script and a surgery appointment.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 35d

Idk, shortly after seeing trans lesbians I decided to transition. And I clearly didn't have years of struggling with those feelings prior to that… Every teenage boy hates not having breasts and for some reason suspects he's only compatible with bi women.
