Yeah, I used to run into you in r/skeptic a lot, fighting the good fight lol. And we both know the mods of that sub let it be overrun with all types of deniers and insane conspiracy theorists… But at least those trolls put a little more effort into it than just scoffing at experts.

Apparently those brainiacs with their fancy book learnin’ and expertise are useless. We must all sift through hundreds of thousands of pages of raw data before reaching any conclusions. The entire concept of career specialization is wrong! Throw it out!

“I’m not a climate change denier but why does anyone care what experts think?!” 🙄

Yeah, it takes a whole lot of misogyny for a man to look at this dude’s actions and statements over decades in the public eye and still arrive at the opinion that Donald fucking Trump respects women.

Here’s the first sentence to clear things up:

This month, The New York Times/Siena College poll asked voters how much they think former President Trump respects women.

By golly that sure does sound like some of that there ‘election interference’ Trump and his chuds are always screeching about, don’t it?

It’s peak fragility. Trump also tried to get the DOJ to investigate Saturday Night Live for being mean to him.

On a Telegram channel previously run by him, Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, said he had been “abducted” by Russian soldiers from a tank battalion, and called on them to let him go.

The self-declared communist joined pro-Moscow separatists in Ukraine to fight Kyiv in 2014. He later also worked for the state-owned Russian news agency Sputnik and was given Russian nationality.

But this seems like a failed attempt at blackmail where the blackmailer is trying to follow through after not being paid. Not someone bravely standing up against discrimination and bigotry.

I think this is one of situations where everyone is an asshole.

Yeah this didn’t come to light out of altruism or a “coming to god” moment where their conscience suddenly came into play. But I also don’t care how or why bigots get exposed. No sympathy for an asshole getting screwed over by another asshole. If these are the kinds of games you play and this is the company you keep you’re gonna get burned eventually.

Greg Gutfeld’s the kind dude that stopped reading books when he got to be too old for the Book-It program and couldn’t score any more free personal pizzas at Pizza Hut.

I neither said nor implied any such thing. You brought up books written in the 1800s which is why my initial reply specifically focused on the 19th century. You’re either dumb or you’re here in bad faith, but based on your last sentence, being a weak attempt to shift the conversation from LGBTQ and non-binary people to pederasts, which is straight out of the right-wing playbook, it’s safe to assume the latter. So we’re done here.

OP received a 3 day temporary ban for violating the instance’s rule against transphobia. That in no way, shape, or form, constitutes a moderator “power trip.”

Yes, homosexuality and non-gender conforming individuals have existed throughout human history and across all cultures with varying social attitudes toward them. You know, you’re quite opinionated for someone with no demonstrable understanding of the topic, but I suppose that explains a lot.

Have you ever wondered why that is? LGBTQ and non-binary people existed in the 19th century too, they just weren’t safe to live as they chose to publicly. And when it was mentioned in literature it was typically couched in euphemisms of the period. I understand that you’d clearly prefer all these people go back in the closet rather than be inconvenienced by having to acknowledge their existence, but are you really daft enough to think this is something dreamed up in the 2010s? For fuck sake…

Lmao. So OP is unwilling to show others the simple courtesy of respecting their gender identity then comes running here to whine about dIsReSpeCt because their bigoted hot take got them a three day ban from a community. 🙄

Edit: Ooooh and they’re on a three day old account too? In that case I give it an hour or two before they realize they aren’t getting any sympathy here and run to r/RedditAlternatives to complain about “censorship” on Lemmy and lament the lack of freeze peach reddit alternatives.

Yep. Switching to linux solves those issues too.

Communism is when you… Wait okay let me start over. If someone else is doing something and… Hold on. So you know how theres capitalism and then there’s… Please don’t do a communism.
