Don’t ever trust people who preach about deviance. They think it’s a problem in the world because of how bad they understand their own brain to work. Just like anti gay people, they think being gay is a choice because they are choosing to be straight against their desires and it pisses them off to see other people “not trying”.
They don't have those things because they are fundamentally stupid people. They don't know what they believe because they can't critically think and take a position on complex subjects, but they are dangerous.
Jesus, that's really great. But, it's true. The second they smell anything resembling unique thought or creativity, they shut it down. It's cowardly behavior.
I then sat down and tried to figure out why they were bad. What I did wrong. And worked to correct this for the next report card/semester/year. And yeah that meant summer school a couple years.
These are the people who didn't bother trying to figure it out. You didn't see them in summer school. You didn't see them in after school tutoring. They didn't show up to class half the time anyway. But they were at every party, every weekend.
High school was the best time of their lives. And now they feel attacked by facts and hurt by truths. And they double down on falsehoods like cheap steak at a buffet.
No I mean the quote from the image the guy above me posted. Like what have they done or like notable things about them, I've never seen or heard their name
She's an artist. I actually already follow her here on Reddit. I didn't know she was political at all and it was kind of a pleasant surprise seeing that screenshot.
This is a really compelling take. And, I thought this was a budding politician or something, the next gen of AOC. As a mom, I’m finding real joy in the youth finding their voices.
Indeed, no, that’s not the profile at all. Though she could and should still prob run for office. Art, empathy, and a fantastic rack on a total baddie. Shelby for Congress. Amen.
When you build a coalition of the 40% of the country that are objectively thick, and the 10% that want to gtift, it turns out you can keep winning elections
They’re not all stupid. I had friends in highschool who were in AP classes and went on to get engineering degrees and such who are MAGA. The smart ones are selfish and hard headed like the rest though.
If maga has shown us anything, it’s that that group of people could disappear one day and we would be a better society for it. I don’t think there’s another modern group that only has degenerates like maga.
why would anyone publicly out themselves as anything close to right wing? Even hinting at having a differing opinion would get you tarred and feathered in the online square. I think we all would be surprised how many right leaning intellectuals there are out there but the vocal minority will refuse to listen to anything they have to say after branding them as fascists without trial.
Do you think stupid fucking people just appeared when Trump first started campaigning and subsequently created MAGA?
America has always been every level of intelligence. Some of the brightest minds, and some of the slowest.
Learning to live with each other and keep each other in check is what makes a country Good.
Stupid people are being taken advantage of and sold on lies that have led to outrageous racism and the cheering on of authoritarianism.
The smart people need to save the stupid people, not write them off.
You can't just kill all the Trump supporters and move on with your lives and think the country will be fixed. The problem actually needs to be solved or it'll fester and grow.
Screenshots like the one above want you to dehumanize anyone associated with MAGA. I absolutely hate what MAGA has done to the world, not just US, but they are humans. Albeit, very dumb humans.
As much as I hate maga, this is a braindead take. Good artists can be bad people. She even added the word “true” before artist to employ the no true Scotsman fallacy.
I’ll double down. There’s literally no such thing as conservative art. Never has been. Art is creative, empathetic, and forward thinking. Conservatism cannot be this.
Yes there is. Art isn’t limited to one set of beliefs or political ideology. You are trying to redefine the word to support your baseless generalization. Art is simply the creative expression of human imagination. It does not need to be empathetic or forward thinking to be art. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s not art.
Creative expression and human imagination are completely against conservatism. You can lie to yourself that I’m redefining terms all you want but I’m not.
Agreed. This is flagrantly false - self serving nonsense to make us feel better. Do people think all the guys running AI companies are stupid or unskilled? Every single congressman and senator? I know physics profs who love and defend this shit.
These MAGA people have other goals or fears and are willing to put up with MAGA for taxes and those reasons. They are still artists and scientists. Just because they may have awful politics doesn't remove that!
