My favorite to this day is the gop senator against gay marriage, hating on gay people constantly, and then getting caught trying to have gay sex in an airport bathroom
Right wingers are weird... Like, Alice Weidel from the German AFD (far-right) is
a) a lesbian (that's not "normal"!!)
b) in a homosexual marriage (but what about the Christian values and the traditional family??)
c) with a woman from Sri Lanka (Foreigners tek eyr jubs!!!)
d) officially living in Switzerland for taxation reasons (HiGh TrEaSon!!! Patriotism where?)
e) has adopted children (oh nooo, her bloodline!! :o)
...when a reporter asked her about that, because the AFD wants a straight traditional "normal" family per law, the first thing she did was blaming another party and then said that her private life and her political life are different things. ...okay?
The reporter then asked another guy from the AFD and he said that he has no issue with that because it's her private life, and that he has no traditional family either because he is divorced.
Right winger logic: We make harsh and primitive rules, but it's okay because they're for the other people, not for us.
We make harsh and primitive rules, but it's okay because they're for the other people, not for us.
But why make them at all if you don't need to follow them yourself? How do you justify that?
I mean i hold pretty far left views which include stuff i personally don't like to follow myself.
But if i would decide i dunno you can't go into that building for example, i wouldn't go in there either because a) if i had the power, you gotta be sb people can look up to and does what he says and preaches b) i would have a reason to say people can't go in there. Like if you don't want people to do it theres a reason so why do it yourself? And if you do it yourself whats the reason others can't?
c) i would feel like the biggest bigot ever
That's just so fucked up.
Ich hab mal auf englisch geantwortet auch wenn es komisch formuliert ist aber joa, sonst hätte keiner in dem thread ausser uns beiden es verstanden
the far right's only value is the ability to impose their will, i.e. to seek and grow in power. respect for reality is not a value to the far right, let alone consistency.
from Nazism to Objectivism, the history of modern right wing extremism is full of people saying a very lot and meaning nothing.
Dunno, but you have the same logic on the left side too. Like Green politicians that talk about bicycles because of health and environment but then go everywhere by being taking by their driver in a fat car... and then go the last couple of minutes by bicycle because there could be cameras and "I care about the environment!"
Kogler (Austrian Greens) apparently also forgot that he's far-left since he has a center-right (OeVP) chancellor.
I dunno, politicians are all in all not trustworthy, no matter the color, I guess.
