Lots of examples in this discussion thread. Zombies who don’t know they’re tearing everything apart.

So you do agree with the statement "Orthodox Jews fear everything and hate everything” then, and you stand by that.

That’s fine.

Absolutely, extremely conservative, and it predates Christianity by hundreds of years. But are we going to say they fear and hate everything? I have a sneaking suspicion that the statement was only intended to be referring to White American religious conservatives. The world is a big big place. Broad generalizations apply broadly and can have connotations that aren’t intended.

Orthodox Jews and confucian Chinese are both deeply conservative because those ideologies are deeply conservative. I chose them because most people wouldn’t say such a hateful thing about those two groups since they’re not what you typically imagine when someone says “conservative”.

The juxtaposition of attaching the original writers hateful generalization with communities with a history of being oppressed and the statement that I will try to be more open minded is supposed to be ironic, like “I’ll be more open minded in the future and remember that Orthodox Jews fear everything and hate everything”

Wish I could give more than one upvote given that the balanced view you present is obviously controversial amongst a Reddit crowd.

I think the other thing that maybe people need to remember is that there’s pretty much always someone further left than you, and there’s a good chance they consider you a conservative. There’s always another further out there idea, and in that way a lot of people who used to be lefties turned into conservatives simply by not picking up on the new thing. Then it’s guilt by association, instead of just being one tick less progressive, people end up getting tired with all of the worst brushes.

Another thing that is a reality that isn’t going to make a lot of people happy is virtually every culture has conservatives of some kind. There are conservatives in africa, and in asia – there’s a lot of conservatives in Asia in fact. There’s conservatives amongst the Jews, there’s conservatives amongst the Indians and in the Middle East. And not all of that conservatism comes from one place.

The world is a lot more complicated than people seem to think, and we’re starting to see that coming to fruition because not everyone who opposes Western liberal conservatism is a western liberal.

Huh. You feel that way about orthodox Jews and Chinese Confucians, huh?

I probably wouldn’t say something like that about those conservative groups, but I guess I should really just be more open minded about such things.

Seems like no matter what the movie was like, it was never going to be for conservative men. Seems like a waste to dwell on it.

Seems like trying to recast Bill Cosby in the Bill Cosby show after his allegations. Pull the chute, this craft isn’t recovering from that.

If that’s all it was, then they’d be able to pop out a pay increase and end things. There’s a lot of other stuff on the table.

I suspect this is occurring because everyone knows establishment media is dying and people are trying to get the nicest deck chair on the titanic.

I AM MOTHERFUCKING ACCEPTING THIS MOTHERFUCKING OSCAR!
