“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” - Isaac Asimov

mako@lemmy.todayto News@lemmy.world•UPenn will ban transgender athletes from female sports and erase Lia Thomas from its records | CNN41·9 months agoI think a better question is, do YOU think that Israeli/Russian/Chinese people fucking suck, or do you only hate entire groups of people when it directly affects you?
Hating an entire group of people <> “suffering the right way”
I hope you becomes less of a hateful person. I’ll leave you to it and hope our interaction inspires others to be less hateful and ignorant than you seem determined to maintain.
mako@lemmy.todayto News@lemmy.world•UPenn will ban transgender athletes from female sports and erase Lia Thomas from its records | CNN71·9 months agoAnd it’s Isrealis who are genociding Palestinians, Russians who are invading and killing Ukrainians, and Chinese that are genociding Uighurs, but it’s ignorant and hateful to make blanket statements like “Israeli/Russian/Chinese people fucking suck,” as any fully-formed person understands that having no control over a group you were born to does not indict you for the crimes of the very worst of that group.
Grow up.
mako@lemmy.todayto News@lemmy.world•UPenn will ban transgender athletes from female sports and erase Lia Thomas from its records | CNN235·9 months agoCis people fucking suck. In my experience most cis people, cis men especially, are extremely toxic, hateful and again, in my experience
Replace “cis” with black, or gay, or any other human descriptive to see how fucked up what you just said really is.
Your in my experience tag isn’t softening your hate - “I’m just saying that in my experience black men are toxic.” - see how that sounds? That’s how you sound to everyone else.
Realize that you’re being just as hateful as the shitty individuals who hate you for what you are, and choose something better.

It’s real, researched, well-produced journalism which is definitely a relic of the past at this point.
I don’t think that’s what you were saying, though. Since your opinion hinges on what “people have been calling” it, I think you probably don’t watch it and believe that since it’s an old show and format, it must be inferior to… sound bites, inflammatory remarks, click/rage-bait, “X slammed Y,” etc.
And that’s sad.
Just downvote, block, and move on

Ignore and/or block and don’t fall into the trap of trying to use logic to change the mind of someone who didn’t use logic to get there.
Hahahaha, you went and one-upped your own stupid comment. Yes, clearly any rational person sees vandalizing swasticars to be just as evil as destroying essential infrastructure for human survival or terrorizing innocent people with racial hatred that has historically let to their murders.
You’re a fucking idiot cosplaying as an iNTelLecTuAl.
You’re also blocked because you’re a waste of everyone’s time.
Who is the intended audience of that comment that you believe will equate sources of food and water to swasticars?
It’s cute in a “we’re still trying to fight a nazi coup with memes” kinda way
