    I’ve gotten death threats for posting Kirk’s own words about acceptable gun deaths and dismissing empathy, sometimes in the same breath as calling out the “violent left”, while not knowing the ideology of the shooter. They’re fucking insane.

      Lol I’ve just calmly expressed how easily the red hat would make it to dome them at a distance, not one has considered continuing the conversation past that, like yes those are my ideas actually.

    Why do they always have terrible profile photos. Sunglasses and the same dumb expression.

      Because they’re in the same cult.

      Not only is conformity encouraged, but deviating from their group norms even slightly is met with suspicion if not outright fear and hostility.

      Plus that’s what people who are emotionally stuck in adolescence and/or the 80s think looks cool.

        I watch some random YouTube videos sometimes, when auto play is on it just plays another random video while i do chores for example. A video owas playing where some guys motorcycle broke down and some random guys helped him. The put it in their barn and worked hard to fix it. In the back was this huge trump 2024 flag just hanging out. To me it’s genuinely weird to see. A part ofe thought: “oh no, these people are real and not just on the internet.” And how can you be so nice and so fucking stupid at the same time?

          Human tribalism at its finest. We really only associate a few hundred people as fully human in our social group at one time.

          Take of care of people in your group. People from other groups are less than human and should all be exterminated. It’s a highly selected for trait from human evolutionary history.

          …“tribalism” is a hard-to-escape fact of human neurology simply because many human brains are not adapted to working with large populations

            Outside of the primitive communism of our hunter/gatherer days we’ve never had a society that is free from a ruling class that sows discord and division to protect themselves. I wouldn’t be so sure that tribalism is innately human and not something that we have been conditioned to by millennia of rule by psychopaths.

    I’m a middle-aged white guy, salt-and-pepper-goatee. Let them think I am MAGA. When I speak out on them in public, they have been surprised. And now I have to go armed, non-stop, and it sucks.

    It must be really bright where they all live. And they must live in their cars. Also they like denim.
