RagnarokAngel posted:The freeper was suggesting Muslims didn't mourne the Orlando shooting. Because freepers only care about gays when it serves their anti Muslim rhetoric. Floridian here, the Muslim community was among the loudest and most visible mourning the Orlando shooting. Freep would never believe it, but quite a lot of Muslims hate the people who give their religion a bad name.

Icon Of Sin posted:Florida Man doesn't really lurk in the other suburban areas though? Other states don't have the government transparency laws we do that makes it incredibly easy for anyone to go trawling through police records. Or the huge number of immigrants from all over the country and world living next door to each other. I've said it before about our drivers and I'll say it again about Florida Man: we do not grow our own crazy, we just import it from the rest of the country.

Warmachine posted:That's what I latch onto here. What does a civil war in the modern United States look like? How will it affect supplies for civilians? I reckon most of the hawks who want it won't live to see the end of it, because all of the medicine they depend on will suddenly be worth more than gold, and paranoid old fucks hoarding guns would be like a buffet for any partisan forces. This is Freep, they assume the military is 100% on their side and their own lives won't be disrupted.

Muslims used to be a very reliable Republican voting bloc. Similar social values, often well educated and wealthy, and well above average tendency to vote. After 9/11, Muslims quickly became a reliable Democrat voting bloc.

On the other hand, I'd really love to see freep lose it's poo poo over what a "beta" the original Steve was. She'd be bisexual, not a lesbian, and it's sometimes been a thing in the comics. According to Gadot, most of the dialogue between her and Chris Pine was left for them to improv and Diana's joke about men being unnecessary for sexual pleasure was her idea.

As the saying goes in the history field, if you know only a little bit about the American Civil War, you know it was about slavery. If you do some reading and learn about the ACW and how it started, you know it was a complex conflict tied up in conflicts of economics, state vs federal government, and race. If you know a lot about the ACW, you know it was about slavery.

I wonder if Freep has a thread bitching about the Punisher show on Netflix. This take on the Punisher is carefully and deliberately contrary to the popular stereotype of the character, and the very outspoken super right-wing MAGA gun nut character is... not portrayed sympathetically.

Guavanaut posted:Even so, a lot of the most reliable forms of birth control (implant, IUD, injection) are basically apply once and then have a medical check up/repeat next year, and overall prevent thousands of abortions. To Freepers, it's simple. Women should be punished for having sex under any circumstances except with their husband for the purposes of procreation - and even then, the right wing cares more about fetuses than actual babies and children.

And the stunning ignorance that the vast majority of illegal immigrants come here legally, not sneaking over the border, and our own agricultural industry is heavily complicit in it because much of that industry runs on what is for all intents and purposes slave labor.

Dunno if Freep cares about superhero movies, but there might be some gold to be mined about Deadpool 2 now - Brianna Hildebrand's character has been revealed to be a lesbian with a girlfriend in the movie, which I think makes her the first openly gay superhero in a modern superhero movie.

Sure the same guy "doesn't want Floridians to look too closely". Specifically, right-wingers think they've got a Gotcha against Gillum because one guy on his government while he was Tally's mayor was corrupt. And they may very well be right, when it comes to people who were never going to vote for him anyway.

Feinne posted:Example, my parents would theoretically have been sane republican voters, but their increasing appeals to ignorance and racism turned them off over the course of the Bush years to the extent that they switched sides in 08. At this point a sane republican would struggle to get them back just because building that trust back is super hard. I wish my grandparents had followed suit.  They're firmly in the camp of evangelicals who sold out to Trump, and the sad thing is they truly don't understand how hateful and bigoted the GOP is. They grew up in a small, exclusively white rural town in the Midwest, and have lived in small, exclusively white rural towns their entire lives. They're genuinely kind, generous, selfless people who well and truly believe Fox News' view of the world and sincerely believe the Democrats are the racists and sexists, and they think gay people are just confused and haven't had the right heterosexual experience yet.They have no idea just how left-wing the extended family or how many LGBT family members they have. We've completely given up trying to persuade them out of their bubble and are all kinda hoping they pass away before me or one of my cousins forces the issue - I have four separate family members with a SO who's the same gender and/or isn't white, and we're careful to avoid revealing that to the grandparents.

And they really are kind, selfless, loving grandparents who do everything they do out of the best of intentions. But they've never grasped that the world doesn't work like the tiny Illinois farming town they grew up in in the 30s through 50s, and have spent the rest of their lives similarly insulated from what reality is like for everyone who's not exactly like them.
