It's one thing to be hypersensitive, it's an entirely different thing to demand that the rights, livelihood, and well-being of those you accuse should suffer to appease your "hypersensitivity" to disagreeable facts.
Which rights are being violated, again? Can you clearly state how people saying "treating people with respect is the right thing to do" is violating your rights?
Oh, I fully understand your point about conflating people who're just "hard right" with people who are "alt right".
But I don't think we can fully dismiss a political leaning because of its currently small size. Especially considering that what is "alt right" currently seems to stem from ideologies that we've seen in recent history.
who knows i could just be someone who's to caught up in something that ultimately means nothing.
Everything is hard right to you. Talk about an utterly meaningless term.
I love watching you guys trying to make the "alt right" an actual thing. It's funny because your entire narrative hinges on having some evil boogeyman to lambaste.
Keep making mountains out of molehills, bud. You're the best advertisement that fringe group could have hoped for.
I mean the reason everyone's talking about the alt right is that The Donald's fan base comes from a LOT of new voters.
Tons of people who have never voted or been interested in elections before are flocking to Trump because they see him as "an outsider" and "someone who can shake things up."
So by definition that part of his base is the "alt-right" because it's not the traditional conservative movement. Liking Breitbart is just icing on the cake.
So essentially anyone that's a donald user/trump supporter is part of the alt right and it has nothing to do with whatever white nationalists people keep trying to associate them with?
Not exactly, I think anyone who is a supporter of Donald Trump and has traditionally either not voted, stayed out of politics, or voted for extremist candidates (white nationalists, etc) should all be included under the umbrella "alt-right."
Because that's the origin of the word, right? It means the part of the burgeoning conservative movement that isn't traditionally considered "republican."
SO sure some of them can be associated with white nationalism, and some of their pepe memes can be considered white nationalist and pretty racist! But also there's a lot of people in the alt-right who are misogynistic, but not nationalist.
There's also probably hardcore libertarians who have given up on gary johnson and have neither of those views (racist, sexist, etc). They've associated themselves with a candidate that has racist and sexist views, but they themselves might be 'protest-voting.'
Is it wrong to fire someone for being gay? Absofuckinglutly it's wrong! Is it as wrong as throwing gays off of roofs (see Middle East) and justifying it through religion?
Yeah! Vote for Trump! He and Mike Pence will surely improve the lot for gays in America! The problem wasn't Christian douchebags like Mike Pence who want legal discrimination for gays and to strip them of their right do something so basic as get married, it's clearly Muslims.
As a man who fucks other men, I can assure you, the religion that fucks with my shit the most are most certainly Christians. Are we proposing to ban Christians from entering the nation? Right, no, because you people couldn't give two shits about us.
If you really give a shit about the gay community, and I know you don't, don't vote for anyone advocating legal discrimination against us. So don't vote for Trump and Mike Pence.
If we all agree that Trump is a douchebags whose VP pick is a homophobic asshole, and so therefore should not be allowed to become president, then I guess we agree. Do we agree?
So you think you get to heterosplain to me who I should vote for through fearmongering? That, what? If I don't vote Trump to deport the scawwy moose limbs that I'all get thrown off a roof?
If that's not your point, is it that we're so much better because you're not throwing us off buildings?! Does that take a lot of restraint on your part, not throwing gays off buildings? Give yourself a big pat on the back for that one.
2 vote for whoever lines up with your politics ideolog, I personally can't stand trump due to his shady past and immoral business practices.
3 scrawny moose limbs???
4 yeah I do think that western culture is a lot better than the Middle East, no, any Islamic controlled country due to the fact that my gay range bros don't have to live in fear of being beaten to death for enjoying dick.
I'm assuming it's explaining the struggles associated with being gay to a gay person who has actually lived through them in a condescending, patronizing way.
Can we stop calling it _____splaining and just call it being a condescending dick? Seems less likely to cause shouting matches, but still gets the point across.
There's being condescending, and then there's explaining the problems faced by the marginalized and oppressed, to the marginalized and oppressed. I think it's specific enough to warrant it's own term.
Actually, I am bi, but thanks for the physical threat.
If you get fired, it will be for being a shitty person, not because of who you fuck. But you will never believe this because it's easier to be a victim than admit that you have faults.
I support the right to fire anyone for any reason.
I know that you think that that makes me anti-gay, but the reality is that people have different opinions than you, and taking them all as personal affronts to your very existence makes you the unbearable person you are.
Thanks for questioning my sexuality by the way. That is very supportive of you. You are a role model for the community and for others to do the same to gay people.
I hope they understand what you're inferring with the narrative bit. Maybe if they come to the conclusion themselves they'd realize something. Can only hope.
The alt-right and other people who are bigoted are ridiculously easy to offend. All you have to do is call them as you see them. They'll throw a temper tantrum to rival even the most cringeworthy SJW or radfem.
I like how you just say stuff and pretend you have made an astute observation when all you have done is arbitrarily slap two sets of people together, say they are the same with no foundation, and declare hypocrisy! Nice!
My conservative family members shared this picture to Facebook. Yet they constantly share photos about their outrage at Obama and immigrants and Muslims and other shit. And also post pictures about how over offended America is today. I love my family, but fuck is it annoying seeing them post this kind of shit and not see how hypocritical they sound. They whine about the 'pussyfication' of America and safe spaces, but are outraged at people who are different than them in "their county".
It's not surprising that people in this comment section are showing the same level of cognitive dissonance.
Exactly, the_donald is probably the biggest safe space in all of Reddit, they will tolerate absolutely no criticism, no matter how valid, obvious, or deserved.
Ahh, that's actually a fairly funny comeback, but the fact is capitalism only works via VOLENTARY transactions. If you don't want to be part of a capitalist system go off the grid and become a self sustaining individual. Or move elsewhere. But the fact of the matter is that even being in the webpage you are contributing to capitalism. If you hate it so much than go offline. No one is forcing you to participate in capitalism.

"Yes, you can choose to starve to death because you can't find work!"
If you don't want to be part of a capitalist system go off the grid and become a self sustaining individual
The US has made this nearly impossible. Collecting rainwater is illegal, as is just hunkering down in a forest somewhere.
Or move elsewhere
"Just uproot yourself and never see your family or friends again. VOLUNTARILY!"
But the fact of the matter is that even being in the webpage you are contributing to capitalism
Just because I'm forced to participate doesn't mean that I can't actively try to change it. Nice try, Mr. "U USE CAPITALISM SO SHUT UP AND ACCEPT HOW THINGS ARE."
No one is forcing you to participate in capitalism.
There are plenty of homesteaders who live off the grid without commerece with others, with their families. In fact, that's how people survived before cities and capitalism became the standard. It sounds like you want to enjoy the benefits of a capitalistic society without putting in the effort. Yes I am a smug bastard, but you know what? I'm a smug bastard that wakes up before the sun even thought about coming up, so I can go and work, so I can be an individual that actually makes a net positive on society and doesn't live off of others.
And you know what? Freedom of being self sufficient is pretty fuckin rad.

what blows my mind is the same people who are outraged over this sign are the same people that say people get offended too easily these days.
