They legitimately believe in their heart of hearts that anything and everything they do sends "The Libs" into uncontrollable bouts of sobbing and impotent wailing. In their mind's eye, the mere act of cracking open a Pepsi has forced a transgender woman with short rainbow-dyed hair to drop everything and call suicide prevention because she's so utterly triggered.

I do love how these people have always obviously forgotten the property in question entirely Like wow, I remember when suddenly so many people were in LOVE with "Song of the South" even though it was probably just a fading neuron with "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" burned into it

An unintended consequence of the 13th amendment is that it became illegal to own the libs. This is why Hillary Clinton belongs in prison.

BiggerBoat posted:In fact, they don't really want things to evolve or change which is weird to me. Change can be uncomfortable or even scary, keeping things the same means you're always safe. Also that Daily Show bit with John Oliver where he realizes the reason conservatives pine for "the good ol' days" is because that's when they were children and when you're a child you have no responsibilities and most of the evil in the world is hidden from you, or you just don't understand it. That's what they want, is to be children again, when they thought America was super great and everyone was just nice to each other and nobody told them that their TV shows had some problematic material, despite the actual state of the world and what was happening.

Hobnob posted:I think it's not so much Pepsi but rather that Coke had a commercial or story about inclusiveness training or something. I remember a "Coke too woke" thing a few weeks(?) ago. Pepsi 2 years ago I think "Libs" "hated"* it because it was a BLM style protest (in that the police were overequipped to deal with people in T-shirts) with milquetoast middle-of-the-road signs to not offend the right wing then female celebrity of the moment hands out pepsi and everyone's friends suddenly. Social problems all solved by America's beverage duopoly's worse half! Yay capitalism! Spoiler alert: pro-cop side were "triggered" by it too (perhaps because of a smiling muslim woman with a camera, or that it didn't end in a blood bath? Idk not a fascist) and it got pulled. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZADj7dysVM (E: lol 2017) (E2: context, it aired during a period of heightened BLM protests) *criticised simplefish fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Mar 9, 2021 |

edit the last: This would be it, the timing matches: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/coca-cola-training-less-white/ Coca-cola had some kind of racial sensitivity training course posted to linkedin, and that was all it took for the right wing fringe to, ahem, cancel them.

You'd think the right wing would be all over RC Cola since it started in the south and has (as far as I know) avoided the types of controversies both Coke and Pepsi have.

The surface level reading of this is that these are very dumb people. But don't forget, they like the idea of a transgender woman having to call suicide prevention, or indeed committing suicide, or indeed any horrible thing happening to them or members of other groups they hate. In fact, from reading about these people it often seems the only joy they can derive from any activity is directly the result of the suffering it causes an Other.

Yeah, as frequently pointed out in other threads (and probably this one as well), for Conservatives, the cruelty is the point.

VideoTapir posted:what is 'the fervor of a convert?' I don't have the context, but it means to do something or say something with a lot of passion. For example, if somebody was recently "saved" and converted to Christianity, they'd want to share the good news with as many of their friends as possible, so they'd go around preaching with the fervor of a convert.

VideoTapir posted:what is 'the fervor of a convert?' People who recently converted to a new religion or ideology tend to be the loudest and most eager to talk about it. For example, Catholic converts are 1,000 times worse than born Catholics because converts feel they need to be really performative to "fit in." So they're constantly trying to return to Latin Mass, overturn Vatican II, talk like a 13th Century Crusader when it comes to Muslims, etc. The more innocent version of this is a 16-year-old who discovers their first ideology that "clicks." Like the old Ron Paul fandom on the internet. Grammarchist fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Mar 10, 2021 |

1. gently caress teachers though right? 2. I mean, we all know who they mean here but I can't help but immediately think "Okay, so vote Democrat probably?" 3. No words needed. 4. Don't know, don't care. Pelosi sucks, whatever. 5. Time to play my favorite game: does the creator of this meme actually not understand the difference or are they being disingenuous?

I love the "Put VETERANS before ILLEGALS" memes because it's like "Uh...okay? Let's do it. Let's get a social safety net in place so Veterans and any citizen never has to be homeless or not be able to get health care."

That'd come out to about $41,000-ish per homeless person. Just imagine what their reaction would be if Pelosi actually did do what they're suggesting she should do.

They don't care and would be outraged but are attacking democrats for it because" you're supposed to care about the homeless right?!" while also forwarding this to their republican friends and family members.
