imagine hating the people who are working hard to raise your wages to earn you more for the work you do and accusing them of being undisciplined and lazy, while also acknowledging how much work it actually takes to be poor and scrape money together, and not seeing how these things connect

they're working to raise my wages like some kind of union president? ahahaha, i wouldn't entrust these easily-lead losers to organize a u-12 volleyball tournament's concession stand.

See this is what I meant when I said conservative versus "conservative".

I don't really think it's a conservative view that anyone who has dyed hair is the worst. I don't even know why that would fall on a political spectrum.

Also I cherish my grey hairs and am always sad when I see people with more glorious greys than myself.

it's not a conservative view. it's my experience that all the fat + neon-hair people are invariably turbo-leftist morons who think and loudly proclaim their personal failures are demonstrative of the failures of capitalism, and who are incessantly bringing their shallow political views into the foreground of every dumb environment.

i've never met a conservative neon-haired person, nor one whose not overly vocal about their harebrained political views.

What if you count platinum blonde as neon? Like it's unnaturally blonde and bright, so like, shouldn't that count?

In which case there's a lot of conservative folks with neon hair.

But stereotypically "fat" is an indicator of republicanism not leftism.

As for the whole "Neon hair woke" thing - you claim that you see these people all the time everywhere and yet when pressed for actual examples, you have none. It's almost like somewhere in that tiny little noggin the cognitive dissonance stopped for long enough for you to realise there aren't any examples, and that ones you do have are just further cases of you righties not just falling for the joke but eating the whole onion. I read back 4 pages, and the entire summation of your interaction with EVERY SINGLE PERSON who tried to deprogram you is to effectively stick your fingers in your ears and go "NUH UH, this OTHER bit of anecdotal evidence that I Totally didn't just make up because you destroyed the last one, THIS is the evidence that counts!". Not only is it clear you're on the defensive because your entire identity is under attack, but hypocritically you lash out at the left by.... attacking "their entire identity" (or at least, the ludicrous, evidence-free straw man of it you've pathetically created)


"turbo-leftist morons who think and loudly proclaim their personal failures are demonstrative of the failures of capitalism"

Could you even remotely define what a "turbo-leftist" is? What personal failures do they have when they've clearly got enough disposable income to ....... Live and work in the same city you do, (that you clearly think you're better than them for?), what does having neon hair tell you other than that they're probably either 28-36 ex-punk/emo/scene/pre-internet "culture" types? Absolutely nothing. You've just projected that because "your side" effectively has a uniform and anyone not close enough to it gets ostracised, that "our side" must be the same, and therefore that any visual signifier you arbitrarily decide has meaning gets meaning? What kind of hare-brained stereotype reality denying idiot republican logic is this?

"and who are incessantly bringing their shallow political views into the foreground of every dumb environment."

......So I can tell without even having posted this comment yet that in your response to my previous points you will accidentally prove that you have absolutely no loving idea what these "Neon haired turbo-woke leftists" actually beleive, and that you get your information from the sort of sources best described as "completely utterly horseshit reality denying copium for conservative chuds". Go ahead prove me wrong (you won't).

Stereotypically fat may be republican where you live, but on coastal metros, fat people are almost exclusively leftists.

lol nobody asked me for examples of neon-fat losers, what do you want me to do, take creepshots of colleagues and people on the buses and show you their twitter feeds?

All my friends are literal nazis who participated in the genocide campaign in europe during world war 2 (close friends with two or three I loving love centenarians and the spirit of healthy debate) and we regularly break some rye over a casual game of making lists of types of people who don't have enough self discipline based on things like hair color

I lived downtown SF for the last 12 years. Idiot poster is just plain making poo poo up, lol. I can count the fat neon people I’ve seen on one hand. Also, the only “loudmouths” about political poo poo, are conservatives visiting and feel threatened by an imaginary culture cooked up via right wing media. SF is full blown tech-bro libertarians when looking at the 25-35 demo.

I lived in SF for 8 years, yeah that's all made up

I feel like the scientific intersection with classifying addiction as "a disease" gets a bit murky, but I also think so many people have a problem with that particular classification of addiction because there are vast amounts of stigma and ignorance attached to it. It's unlike any other disease in that regard. You can't yell at someone for having cancer.

I mean you CAN, but it doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do.

That being said, I've seen addicts and alcoholics lean way too far (IMO) into the disease model, basically throwing up their hands and saying "I have a disease, it's in my brain, I'm just defenseless, poor me" and strap their victimization to a model of classification that they, essentially, don't understand what it actually means. At that point, the addict is using it as an escape, or at the least a pass to play the victim yet again, and it drives me up the wall.

I do believe that, culturally, our understanding of addiction has improved vastly in the last, say, 20 years, or even 10. It was mentioned in this thread before, but an approach of empathy is becoming more commonplace, bucking America's historically traditional "treatment" of punishment for what is perceived as some sort of moral failure.

I'm looking forward to what advances we'll have in our understanding and treatment of addiction in the next decade.

There's like 1/4 of these losers with neon hair. Many fat-asses too.

Again just reiterating how hilarious it is that my throwaway comment about fat people and neon hair people has resulted in so much consternation in gbs. Guessing y'all have pretty high dye and fast food budgets--does the dye work for making protest signs too?!?!
