In today's article about a POC committing a crime against a sacred white, Fox posters very quickly devolved into their, "I'll answer the question to that puzzle, Pat!" schtick. But then they moved on to violent murder fantasies! These posts were hours old, so Fox seems to actively not give a poo poo about weird murder fantasies.   Having grown up ripped between two parents who had an extremely acrimonious divorce in 1989 when I was five, I have a hard wired habit of always trying to put myself in the opposition's shoes. I grew up split between a world of British born atheists who were socially left, then a family of ultra-conservative ultra-strict hard right Christians. If I made one side happy, I made the other side angry. It sucked. I was conservative until I hit intellectual puberty around fourteen or fifteen and was able to not be literally laying awake scared about sinning against an all mighty God. But those "both sides" habits don't go away. I often try to think to myself, "How can these people get through life with so much hate bubbling in them? Doesn't it eat them up?" The depressing answer is simple - They relish it, because they belief in an absolutist, legalist form of religion that makes them always right about everything. Most of these assholes sleep soundly at night. While never having a moment's doubt in their literally being chosen by God to do what they want. I often think about how to get through to these people. I wonder what the conversion rate from right wing hatred is in the real world. 10% as they grow up? 1%? .01%? While I love this thread for the heaps of  laughs, sometimes the loving totality of it all hits me over the head. These are people who would march all of us against a wall with a smile and a machete.

Not to sympathize with Freepers/Chuds, but rather to explain them: hating people feels good. I'm not even talking about the hatred of bigotry, any type of hate. I have a lot of time to think at my job and sometimes I think about whatever evil thing is going on in the world, like Climate Change or war, and it inevitably devolves into imagining some cruel things about the people responsible. It's not healthy even if I pick better targets than them, but it does feel good.

Yup, I hate many groups of people 24/7 and I don't imagine there are many people who don't. Ultimately I don't see it as a problem as long as the target deserves it. The problem with Freepers is that they hate people based on say, the way they look.

I think their thought process works the other way, in that they already hate people and come up with reasons after the fact as to why they deserve it, rather than reasons happening and the emotion following after. Also, like, I think it is fairly silly to see two people, one of whom says "I hate nazis" and the other who says "I am a nazi" and go "wow you both hate people you are both the same" OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Aug 15, 2021 |

Going around hating things just makes you another part of the torrent of poo poo in life. Ridicule and derision are all they deserve. You dont hate the infection you just kill it with chemicals and then move on with your life.

I would suggest that whether you develop an emotional response is probably affected by whether you have the luxury of "moving on" which people often don't when the object of their ire is omnipresent.

My main concern with them is that they just go away and live in their own little bubble and leave everyone else alone, or maybe learn what a hosed up piece of human waste they are and change. I take that back, I hate trump, but that's mainly because there's nothing redeeming about him. He's like everything wrong in the human species condensed into one man and worshiped by 60 million people

Found it in an old post in this thread: Really not sure if it's a pack of smokes but the Hell if I'm not going to pretend it's a 12 oz can of beer and that Dale Reed was just that big a giant hate ogre. Also stumbled onto this dalereed.txt post when looking for the photo.

(Editor's Note - I am not saying what I think or feel is the right way to do things. As I explained, I grew up in bizarre circumstances that would make me an excellent wartime diplomat or hostage negotiator.) Don't get me wrong, I'm sure as gently caress not saying these people with abhorrent views get any sort of pass. But hate? I don't really feel like I outright hate anyone. Seems like an unhealthy expenditure of mental energy. I've got enough problems myself to let that sort of negativity occupy me. At the end of the day, I end up thinking of people being somebody's child, or sibling, or parent. The closest I get to hate, without stating the obvious "People who commit genocide and rape and poo poo", it would be con men. Someone willing to ruin a person's life for personal financial gain just disgusts me. I think I just stumbled on it. I'm not hateful of much, but disgusted by plenty.

Personally I see hate as one of the biggest drivers of human achievement, with even most good things we enjoy upon built on bunch of people who hated the people loving up their lives and thus resorted into some bad things we thankfully don't have to resort to. Illogical and impotent hate that never achieves anything is exhausting, I agree. Just look at your average basket case Freeper. Hate in general seems to be an adrenaline level stimulant though, considering the uh, entire history of humanity. People can go with love and acceptance, and they're better people than I am, but I'll look towards hate, exclusion, shaming and ridicule when dealing with say, deniers of the upcoming climate apocalypse. I certainly feel the opposite of exhausted with that.

Elea posted:Would you mind sharing some classic posts for us? I don't have any of them sadly, all I have is the radio post, and I think someone posted the Muppet one recently. You can search a user's comments on Freep but they only give you one page of those, which means I can't see any of his posts before 2/23/2016, and his classic posts were way before that. I guess I forgot that dalereed died very close to the 2016 election, and he actually was a Trump supporter. His last post was on 8/18/2016, which was: quote:Breaking! US Swimmers can leave Brazil on one condition Let's look at some of dalereed's final posts. I wouldn't say any of these are as good as the classics but I guess they're not without their "charm." quote:Christie Reportedly 'Livid' He Wasn't Chosen as Trump's VP quote:Jeb explains the 'tragedy' of Trump's nomination quote:Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill quote:Wisconsin just handed Paul Ryan a path to the White House quote:Karl Rove: Let’s face it, the GOP nominee might need to be someone other than Trump or Cruz quote:Why Did a Ted Cruz Super PAC Gave $500,000 to Carly Fiorina? quote:What has happened to Free Republic?

Tbh he reminds me of my grandma getting political when she had dementia to be "fair" to dalereed. Difference being my grandma would pull me aside to talk about how FDR was the best president of her lifetime despite not arriving to the US until he was dead, or tell me about how the soviets liberated her camp and they don't teach you that in school, or how much that lying apprentice man reminds her of the old days with Hitler. Cool lady, kind of an anti-freeper in her latter days. Incoherent and angry but instead of freeping she's pissing down from heaven on the dalereeds in hell.

Where other Freepers are just bitter old racists and homophobes, Dalereed was an angry old spirit dredged up from the Elemental Plane of Hatred and this made him something of a thread mascot. He was unique in his pure hatred for everything. Freepers hate women and LGBTQ people and black people and poor people, and dalereed did hate all those things along with them, because he was a terrible person. But he also hated hats.quote:To: afraidfortherepublic quote:To: Daffynition Music. quote:To: Daffy quote:To: showme_the_Glory Muppets. quote:The guy that invented them is a long hair hippy freak!!!

I saw an article about the Haiti earthquake on Fox. I clicked, imagining it would just be a lot of, "Thoughts and Prayers" comments. I was so loving wrong. On the subject of America sending aid to Haiti -   - "Why ain't their buildings as good as our buildings?! The only solution? OCCUPATION.  Wasn't this the exact same terminology used to justify the genocide of the Tutsi people in Rwanda?  Compared to their normal gabfests, this one had a lot less posts. But God drat, if they didn't try to make up for it with sheer hate.

Well the one before that. I wonder honestly what the sum owed by past colonial nations to colonized nation in like pure resources has to be, much less all the money made from utilizing those. Much less reparations from all the atrocities. Like it has to be double digits trillions at the least.
