I’m just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, “reading is for liberals.” Because you know it’s coming.

BruceTwarzen,

I would say it's one or two years away. Two more years and the first person in congress is called a faggot for reading

Starglasses,

Idiocracy here we come 🤦

XbSuper,

Tf is removed?

HonoraryMancunian,

I’ve heard of some instances removing slurs

Spiralvortexisalie,

Some instances remove profane words automatically from the posts, and it ends up getting propagated across the Lemmyverse.

lemann,

I think your instance censored the word “fa**ot”

Nothing showing removed on mine

manwichmakesameal,

But what of you’re actually talking about a bundle of sticks……?

Illuminostro,

They already are. What do you think their War On Education over the last 40 years is about. Dumb illiterate peasants believe whatever they’re told.

Yup, looks like the long game is to keep them uneducated, pissed off and armed to the teeth.

winterayars,

They say it now just not publicly.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I strongly believe it.

Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these “huddle” meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.

The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.

One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, “Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?”

flathead,

idiot corporate managers who insist on the word ‘huddle’ instead of ‘meeting’. Ugh.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Kinda used to all the corpo lingo. I’m pretty sure I’m one of those bad business folks you take out in a cyberpunk game

Veraxus, to lgbtq_plus in AMC Canceled Screenings of an Anti-Trans Documentary After Backlash
Veraxus avatar

Who at AMC decided hateful, bigoted propaganda was ever okay to begin with? During Pride Month, no less.

It should not take backlash for a company to not participate in spreading hate and bigotry.

AnotherPerson,

AMC is one of the most profit centered companies around. If they think it will make money they will play it. The backlash was enough that they felt it would hit their bottom line so they decided not to play it.

In America, you can be anything you want. So don’t be weak and gay.

So, you can’t be anything you want? It’s incredible that she doesn’t hear the irony.

UnderpantsWeevil,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

You can be anyone you want and if we don’t like it we can subject you to indescribable horrors.

It’s called Freedom, sweetie, and everyone has it.

GiddyGap,

You can be anything you want as long as it’s what we want.

stevedidwhat_infosec,

It makes sense though. They ruin the educational system, poison the waters and tell everyone that its a waste of time and effort, and muddy the waters to make understanding harder. Anyone who ever left the hood will tell you - education is fucking everything.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

I am not sure how anyone can be “weak” when they constantly face so much discrimination, bullying and harassment and choose to spread a message that is essentially love is love. That’s heroic, not weak. You know who else persisted with a message of love under duress and hardship? Jesus.

Edit to say that I agree with the other commenters about being Strong and Gay 💪🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

njm1314,

It’s interesting because I just saw a documentary about Roy Cohn and even though he was gay as the day was long, he would never identify as gay. Mostly because he viewed gay people as weak and as victims. Which wouldn’t mesh with his view of himself as powerful. It’s an abhorrent mindset that might apply here as well.

Nice pussy-vest! Fucking woman up!

“In America, you can be anything you want, so don’t be weak and gay.”

… What if I want to be those things?

Why doesn’t she choose not to be fucking stupid and not an asshole?

force,

can i be moderately strong and gay but probably slightly closer to weak than strong because i wanna get fucked senseless by a strong protective man be a twink

not that i want that or anything

VirtualOdour,

Strong twinks are hot.

And you can be physically strong but still need emotional reassurance and tender cuddles after I fuck you deep and wild like the horny slut you crave being. You don’t need to pick one or the other.

dirthawker0,

I want to be gay but I’m too weak to go through all the shit society throws at gay people, so I’ll conform and hide my true self.

Son_of_dad, to politics in "Don't Be Weak and Gay," a Missouri GOP Candidate Tells Voters in a New Campaign Ad

So be strong and gay? Be a power bottom, is that what you’re saying?

Maeve,

My takeaway was "be hard and gay." I'm cis-het but I'm okay with this!

Spaghetti_Hitchens,

That's how I read that

PeepinGoodArgs, to politics in "Don't Be Weak and Gay," a Missouri GOP Candidate Tells Voters in a New Campaign Ad

I feel like “Republican” is its own derogatory category now.

“Don’t be a Republican, care about your neighbor” or “Don’t be a Republican, check the facts” feel like completely reasonable things to say because Republicans have basically stereotyped themselves.

Godric,

“Love thy neighbor” gets responses.

So does “What would Jesus do” about immigrants, homeless, etc.

“I love how you ask yourself ‘what would Jesus do’ and then do the opposite” is a break the glass response for genuinely monstrous statements.

“Stay fucking hard.”

I CANT TAKE THESE MIXED SIGNALS

xmunk,

I am also deeply confused… this hateful message is coming from someone in paisley leggings.

mPony,

in the 80’s we kept getting told about the evils of homosexuality from men whose breath probably smelt of truck-stop foreskin.

modifier,

“In America, you can be anything you want. So don’t be weak and gay. Stay fucking hard,” Gomez instructs viewers in the video, delivering one of the most unintentionally homoerotic lines of the 21st century so far.

Great writing.

What’s the current over/under on her being outed in the next six months with an underage cheerleader, and having to apologize deeply to her family and constituents while continuing on her mission to destroy our country?

"Are you a Republican?"

Unless that’s their kink

Ok, kudos for making me surpass my earlier, literal lol with a literal guffaw!

JustMy2c, to news in Conservatives Are Boycotting Froot Loops for Creating a Library of Diverse Children's Books Online

Poisoners of children! That ‘food’ should be a illegal.

trying to distract from the sugar and coloring by making a website? F them

ThrowawayPermanente,

Actually Froot Loops the good guys now, if you criticize them that means you’re a bad, mean Republican.

JustMy2c,

It seems… I still hate all sugar corporations with vigor. Luckily I got used to downvotes from tankies first day at lemmy

Melody, to news in Conservatives Are Boycotting Froot Loops for Creating a Library of Diverse Children's Books Online

Every time a brand falls onto the “socially conservative ban list” I just cackle evilly.

Yes. The death by a thousand cuts is very fitting for these people who seem to lack critical thinking skills and won’t learn.

It’s almost like people think children need to know how to be decent human beings and they know that some parents will refuse to teach that skill.

It’s almost as if…as if society at large has already decided that the “status quo” they are vehemently defending needs to die. It’s like society has decided people need to be better. So that we don’t like; kill each other off stupidly over stupid fucking bullshit in stupid wars like stupid idiots being stupidly fucking greedy and unrelenting.

I laugh even more when they buy that product too show themselves shooting it/burning it/ or otherwise getting rid of it via some video on social media.

I highly doubt Kellogg’s cares if someone buys 5 boxes of Froot Loops because they want to eat them or use them for target practice to prove how MAGA they are. Kellogg’s has their money either way.
