1. If all the "sacred caste" wants is to be treated normally and not abused, slandered, it's hardly the same as something like clergy.

2. The reason clergy and TV entertainers are able to abuse people is because of power, reputation. And the ability to isolate their targets. Some rando non-binary person isn't able to go "if you tell anyone what happened you and your family will burn in hell forever, and they'll believe me."

3. Street gang members? As a sacred caste? The fuck are you on about? Unless you're talking about something completely different, not only are street gangs not a sacred caste by any real metric, but the reason they can act with impunity in a depressingly wide range of activities is because the communities they prey on are often poor and can't trust law enforcement to help. It isolates the community and makes further interactions with law enforcement more difficult, feeding into the negative cycle. Adding gangs as a point helps solidify the fact you're full of it.

4. By your own... loose... logic, there really isn't anything to be done because it's less about the caste itself (excluding gangs, you idiot) and more that people who want to prey on others will join up with areas they can do so. Clergy wasn't "set up" to diddle kids. People didn't go "I want to be entertained by watching a movie or a play... but the only way that can happen is if the performers molest children." It's a fact of life some people are shitty predators. To say an entire group is just full of sexual predators is ridiculous.

Donald J Trump & Various commenters #wingnut

Aside from the nonsense of Trump's treasonous handling of top secret information that he apparently had his lawyers lie about returning while keeping them in an easy access area... I wanna poke fun at one if that last "joke" pic.

They did infact, impeach those nuts. They impeached them twice, actually, you idiot. But the decision to not remove him from office was so partisan that you have Kappa McConnell saying "yes, there was a violent assault on the Capitol, yes, Trump is responsible, but we won't hold him accountable."

Andrew Anglin #conspiracy

Just because you and your ilk would like nothing better than to kneel down and fellate the current Russian dictator,, doesn't mean the USSR was a good thing.

Now, it is Andrew "Anal" Anglin, so I'm not sure he considers a corrupt, oppressive, horrifically violent, totalitarian government a bad thing.

Various commenters #kinkshaming

Because no one aside children can play. Quite the reach there.

Also, these people seem to think that it's always a guy doing it to a woman. Because apparently women can't take charge?

As for the meat of the issue, the main thing these people don't seem to grasp is that kinky stuff thrives on consent. If you don't want to choke someone or to be choked you don't. If you don't want to be spanked or spank people, don't. Etc. Etc.

If the person you're with does try to force their desires on you with no say or regards to your feelings, sure. They're a shitty, terrible person, and possibly rapist depending what they did.

A lady who likes the feel and sound of her hand on a partner's rump isn't necessarily an abuser. These people are weirdos.

Mahmut Sala #fundie #pratt #homophobia

Right, because it is exclusively LGBT types who abuse minors. Never straight teachers, family members, clergy, coaches, or anyone else. And the concentrated effort to limit child marriage in the US? Apparently that has been just stuff and hogwash.

Seriously, go fuck a cactus. Sure, are some LGBT pedophiles and if they harm children, are literally human scum? Sure. Same thing with straight people though. Those fuckers who are all "Oh, Yeah, once she's old enough to bleed, she's old enough to breed" or "We should lower the age of consent, want some prime young meat, bit some old hag" sorta types. They certainly aren't LGBT.

While "race" is biological, it's not really as important as racists try to make it. Like, sure, you can find a set of bones and find out all about the person, but the differences are usually minute. It's minor variations within homo sapiens. It doesn't justify say... treating another person differently because of the amount of melanin in their body.

And, as pointed out above, ethnicity isn't the only qualifier for bone marrow (or other) transplants. Blood type, for instance, varies between all ethnicities and is a major disqualifying factor for most surgeries like that. Heck, I think with the example of bone marrow, they usually try to stick with close relatives, because it's so finicky.

As for the "joke" I like how it implies the purple tipped thing already had a transplant, and only now the doctor is going "Oops. We fucked up." Because that's how that works, just stuffing bits and bobs from other people into the person in surgery only to check for issues later.

@ASTwistedFemale , @Amanda504 & @tradwife_radfem #transphobia

Man, I don't know what sort of bathrooms exist in fearmongerland, but whenever I use one, it's go in, go out. The only times anyone would be standing in there longer than usual would be some vagabond type either cleaning up or doing drugs in a gas station bathroom.

What sort of bathrooms are these people going to where not only are people in danger of being assaulted every minute, but it is exclusively a trans issue? Homosexuals can't be the abusers, apparently. Which is a refreshing twist on things maybe? I dunno.

And it's ONLY the bathrooms, since they are apparently from some alternate reality where not only straight people have never gained access to the other type of bathroom, but apparently bathrooms are exclusively dangerous. Like an adult couldn't abuse a minor anywhere else?

Or, as this person seems to forget, bullying is terrible in general. Or, what, they're fine with a kid getting a broom shoved up their ass, so long as it wasn't done by a transperson?

DoctorBoom #fundie

@Timjer
It's mostly projection and being loony. As well as Sam Harris saying some admittedly silly stuff, and lacking context I can only hope he was being hyperbolic.

The gist is that Harris said that Hunter Biden could literally have murdered a bunch of kids, he did not care about the laptop. Even if there was a dark rabbit hole of potential issues for Hunter Biden, and even if it connected to Joe Biden, the scope would pale to what Trump is already known to have done, so he doesn't care. Trump University as an example, is worse than what they'd find on the laptop.

With the these assholes who are hopped up on crazy delusions, they think that that small clip means "Oh yes. Sam Harris thinks Trump defrauding people is worse than ritual child rape/murder/cannibalism." Because of course that's what they assume is in the laptop.

I mean, I'm less appalled that the Feds executed their search warrant and more appalled at the fact it has taken this long to get to Trump facing consequences and how eager his cultists are to try to justify his criminality/go after law enforcement for doing their job.

Wanting the rule of law to be obeyed and criminals to face punishment is completely unrelated to an economic system.

Stonetoss #ableist #dunning-kruger #wingnut

Huh. Honestly, when I first read this I just figured it was being dickish and offensive in another manner.

My take was the obviously more heavy set, blue haired type was just so aghast at the other person's suggestion of going outside and doing activities, since they're out of shape.

Like someone who has some reason for pills for their mental health is "of course gonna be fat and can't go outside." Finding other takes on people like Stonetoss is always neat to see, because he's so BAD at satire and jokes in general, figuring out his point is rough. The other interpretations or bits of insight are interesting.

Oh will you look at that. Feeding someone a steady diet of paranoia, delusional conspiracy theories, and insisting that violence is the only answer has resulted in harm.

Congressman Paul Gosar & Various commenters #wingnut #racist

1. It's funny how the "Oh, the LAW!" party has consistently proven to be just fine with not only blatant corruption and illegal activities, but also is super into deregulation of businesses so the unsafe and illegal things they currently do would be A-OK. And, before the Biden regime? You mean when we were led by a petty narcissist who literally shoved himself to the front of a world leader group like a toddler? That guy was bringing us respectability?

3. When in doubt, blame "Communism"

4. Not really? A likely driving reason for the Ukrainian Invasion by Poot'n is that the Russian economy wasn't doing well at all so he wanted to grab the resources of another country to diversify the economic options instead of being more or less entirely reliant on oil.

5. ... I'll just pretend this guy is a deep troll and wrote a post about Trump but didn't use names to let it slide with the posters.

6. Asians wore masks before COVID too. A minor inconvenience to help protect others from a communicable disease is an easy thing to do. Just because your in-group mentality literally is skin deep, doesn't mean other people can't desire to get along with others.

Dave Alford, Salt Lake County Council #fundie #dunning-kruger #racist

The fact that this man is on a county council just speaks volumes about what is wrong with the US.

Like, not even agreeing/disagreeing with abortion, but just the total lack of education on subject matter they want to make rules for.

Various commenters #wingnut #racist

Looking into the article and situation, the mayor has never claimed explicitly that the measure is designed to increase diversity, though that is a separate goal of his.

The photo of the applicant is so the rest of the department, including him, can familiarize themselves with their coworkers, as mayor Adams stated it is disrespectful to not know who you are working with, and that he wants to get to know his departments.

The people asked about it believe that not only is it part of mayor Adams' goal to have the departments match their constituents, that it would increase workload processing/finding the photos as the person putting in the application isn't necessarily the one providing the photo so people will have to hunt through socials, and that they should just hire anyone qualified because they are currently understaffed.

Now, if it is purely a move to increase individual recognition as stated, that's fine, but likely would be better handled differently (provide a picture when hired/get one taken to make it so people don't have to waste time hunting down photos, that sort of thing). If it is to reach racial quotas, I'm less ambivalent about it, especially considering they are understaffed. Just get qualified folks to work the city. Hell, I'm of the opinion to not have much information about the applicant be known in general, race, gender, appearance, etc. to weed out biases anyway, keeping things mostly merit based.

Again, stop listening to Ms. Sandya, she's an idiot.

"She said that Buddha failed to say how everything started first and said everything started naturally which is wrong." Which is it? Did Buddha fail to say how it all started or did he say it all started naturally? I'm not Buddhist, and I can only go by what I've learned, but their answer is "Dunno. Guess the universe is a cycle of rebirth too." A belief system that doesn't claim to know or really care about the creation of the universe can't really be taken to task on not explaining it.

"...humans can achieve Nirvana state which is away from heaven and hell and that Buddha going to Nirvana after death" Ms. Sandya was never a Buddhist, was she? From what I've read you don't "go to Nirvana when you die" you no longer take part in the cycle of death and rebirth, you cease to be.

Which makes the idea of Buddha "Coming back" doubly stupid, now that you mention it.

Lying for Jesus is still lying, which is a sin.

Brother Nathanael #racist #wingnut #conspiracy

"The classic definition of conservatives are those to achieve maximum freedom"

Proceeds to try to force others to follow a fairly rigid mindset and restrict people from freely aligning "their movement."

I'm not sure if that Gab founder amd general jackass Torba actually buys into that definition (that I've never heard of, who's ass did Nathaneal pull it out of?) or if it's just our Brother from thankfully another mother, but either way he might want to look up the definition of "irony." Or look up the countless examples of "conservative" governments and religious groups that are oppressive shitbags. Or both.

Allie Beth Stuckey #fundie #transphobia #wingnut

I "love" the evocative and twisted language these fuckers use.

Despite being a scare tactic, surgery for gender reassignment isn't a thing that happens to minors.

And it's always "Men going into girls' bathrooms." Because women going into boys' rooms isn't as scary sounding for your base? Because that sort of thing has never existed before now, and adults who wish to actually prey on children can ONLY do so in public bathrooms. Teachers, clergy, family friends, family itself, can't be monsters elsewhere, right?

Ben Klassen #racist #conspiracy

@Malingspam Yeah, it's also the easiest way to tell that people don't bother actually looking into what they are trying to refute.

But, because I was curious, I went to the source to follow up on a hunch. Aside from this idiot's constant repetition of "Oh, it's just like Mother Goose!" Yes, the site does have Norse myth wankery.

"That myth is stupid. I'll follow this other bullshit that is just as silly."

Crypto Whale #fundie

Well, point 6 does depend on what branch of Buddhism you are following, some believe in souls some don't. But... yes. You are a tiny part in a bigger reality in the Universe. That is also true for Christianity. It's true for everyone but a super hardline solipsist.

Point 4 is a terrible misrepresentation, because yes while achieving nirvana is the goal, you are supposed to be a good person. And understanding a person's place in the universe and how they relate to it are like... the essence of Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path are all about it. Just because you don't understand it and it doesn't line up with your ideals is irrelevant.

Point three again misunderstands that you are supposed to actively try to achieve Enlightenment and Nirvana by following the Eightfold Path. Sure Buddhism might accept causality is a thing, but it's hardly unique to them. Is it any worse than "This happened because it's part of God's plan"?

Point 2 is just wrong.

And point 1 shows not only does the OP not understand Buddhism, but Stoicism as well. Sure, the modern definition of just being stoic in general is about not emotional, but being in control of your emotions =/= having no emotions. And Buddhism certainly doesn't try to turn everyone into a Vulcan.

Janath #fundie

Stop listening to that old lady. She's an idiot.

1. No, Christianity only started after the belief that Jesus was the Christ amd got a large following.

2. Christianity is distinct from Judaism as a main point that Christians believe the messiah has come and is Jesus. Until that massive schism, early Christians still self identified as Jewish.

3. The time of Moses had no messianic figure. The requirements would be laid out far later, and one part would be that they are am anointed one from King David's line. That certainly couldn't happen in the time of Moses, the concept of a messianic anointed figure who would restore the Jewish nation who was a decendent could not exist then.

4. I could grant that a Prince in India could have heard /read/known of the Jewish nation/religion at the time. Ironically, like Jesus himself, his exact historicity is hard to prove, but the dates given would have him be a contemporary of, or been able to know about the restoration of the Temple after Cyrus the Great had a proclamation of religious freedom. The Jewish Diaspora was also hundreds of years before he lived. Christianity though? No.

Hrm, these are my least favorite sort of woo posts, there isn't really... any fun inanity to it, it's just drab "Yeah, it might LOOK like bad mythological fanfiction, but I believe in it."

Something as stupid as "Oh yeah, the Gobi Desert was the Gobi Civilization, when the Ayrans left Atlantis." Is just, wrong. There was no Atlantis. Aransas were not from there. The desert would have been where any civilization lived, not the civilization itself. Sure you could call the last one nitpicky, but you don't say "Ah yes, the Yangtze River, which was the Han dynasty of China." The fact that they can't even lay out ideas in a way that makes sense is a hint that they just don't make sense.

It's just someone laying out stupid ideas, and not in any fun way.

John C. Wright #homophobia #fundie #dunning-kruger

I mean, if I made up the term "sinistralchosis" to describe to totally real and documented belief that left-handedness is evil and the subsequent discrimination against left handed people, I wouldn't be making up a silly term out of thin air, I'd be solidifying a term that describes something that exists/existed. It's incredible how ingrained into the language it is, like the word sinister.

Just because something might cause a "visceral" feeling in someone doesn't mean it's acceptable. If you erase the cultural or religious taboos the "visceral" feeling goes away. How many people do you care about handedness? Now think about someone getting beaten for writing with or using their left hand to point at someone or something, or gave you a pat on the back with their left hand.

Just strange to think about? That's what people who see people with a "visceral" reaction to homosexuality like. Backwards, letting idiotic culture or religious taboos driving people to needlessly oppress others.

Apparently that's his new name for Joe Rogan. Why I am not sure. Maybe because big misinformation about it being akin to an STD with gay folk? He does has a habit of calling things he is against gay.

Most I saw was a tweet about Rogan and Monkeypox was him (jokingly?) saying that an idea of Monkeypox being spread from sex at a pair of raves was info from the anti-sex and anti-fun lobbies.

But no one ever accused Vox "Lying is okay if it helps your point" Day of being a clever fellow. He is under the impression that childish insults are "effective rhetoric."

Nothing says "Air tight legal defense" like calling yourself "schwag."

Yeah, the accreditation reads like a scam artist. But... at the very least he preaches nonviolence, that's one of the main problems with these sovereign citizen idiots. The other main problem being that everything they say is stupid and wrong, but still.

Is it like A category that is 20% of porn, is it lots of smaller groups that Sophia isn't into... it's just so silly. 75% of victimhood is just straight into the evil Energizer Bunny... odd that no percentage of oppression or abusiveness powers the evil being.

Padraig Martin #racist #wingnut #fundie #dunning-kruger

It's refreshing to see a Confederacy slave apologist being so honest about what a terrible person they are.

Few counterpoints:
1. Slavery was never "needed" for the South. Sure the slave owners wouldn't have been as wealthy if they had to pay employees, but that's hardly "necessary."
2. Sure, the Bible advocates for slavery. And a bunch of other utterly barbaric practices. Using the Bible as a defense fails though, if people not only say the endorsement is still monstrous, but they don't believe in your god.
3. Just because you can (often falsely) find some good things about something terrible doesn't mean the event, things surrounding it, and people responsible for the event aren't all terrible. We we found out today that harvesting and eating racists' brain matter could cure cancer, if we actually went about and did that it'd be abhorrent. Even though it would have at least two beneficial outcomes/effects (less racists/curing cancer).
4. Slavery, it's defense, and the mentality that a group of people are inferior and deserve to be owned as property is terrible and the South should acknowledge it was shit. And try to do better. I'm certainly not saying everyone needs to feel guilty about things they haven't done or didn't affect (like if your family came to the States long after the Civil War) but going "Oh, those people were terrible. Let's not be terrible" is a way to get on track.

Or, maybe the reason humanity had been spiritual is that people are happy to assign answers to unknowns?

Think of how many deities are in charge of perfectly natural, but hard to explain (without the proper instruments) phenomenon. Lightning, thunder, storms, seasons, wind, day, night, the sun and other celestial bodies, sexual dimorphism, and so many other things are either directly controlled by gods, ARE the gods, or were the work of gods.

All you're doing is saying "They're wrong, I'm right, there is a massive conspiracy, and everyone against me is either in on it or duped." Your particular deity's existence is as weak as any other god, you're not special.

"This is one of their most effective manipulative arguments because pro-lifers fail to respond properly."

I mean, when your general responses are "Fuck those sluts, abortion is murder, and helping people is stupid communism" it says less about the opponents and more about you.

You want to atop abortion but don't want to do anything other than say "We banned abortion!" No treating the underlying issues on why a woman would be compelled to go through something like that, just aggressive assholishness.

So they deserve respect, but not enough to be considered an equal person.
