This person got assaulted and murdered in a school bathroom. It doesn't matter their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, or anything else. Literally none of that matters because let me reiterate: A living breathing human being was assaulted and fucking murdered in a school bathroom. This person had their life taken away from them in highschool and the only thing you can say is you "don't want that filth" in Oklahoma? If all you want to do is shit on other people's life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness you might as well go fuck yourself with an American flag since it's basically the same fucking thing anyway.

Sorry for the rant... This shit just really pisses me off. I just hope one day he can feel as hopeless as Nex probably did in that bathroom.

I'm with them, when they say, they don't want that filth. The only difference is, that I have a different view on who the filth is in this case...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

To people like this, if you're queer, you're not a real person. Because your soul is already damned. So they don't have to care what happens to you anymore.

Wants: high rate of child death via guns, incest babies, rape babies, women victimised for life, teens bullied to death

Does not want: people with their own lives or opinions that affect no one else on the planet.

Can we give Oklahoma to Texas when they secede?

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 26 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Why let them take an entire piece of land and further ruin the lives of countless present and future generations?

Push all arseholes into the ocean and call it a day.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I don’t particularly want to deal with land remediation?

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Nope, we don't want that filth near our border.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You know that whole "dumb Texas" bit that Patrick does? That's Oklahoma to us.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So…. That’s not a “no”…

And kind a makes me go …. “Good!”

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Shit, you drive a hard bargain

"The United States of Texas and it's own dumb Texas"

Not sure, it doesn't roll that smoothly.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As someone that lives in Oklahoma because I can't afford to leave, yeah fuck that.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Of course, with resettlement aid for those that would prefer not to, you know.

Quickest 180 ever, hell yeah I'm down

Remember, conservative brains are literally abnormal. They have enlarged regions dealing with fear and disgust. They should be given special treatment, but not allowed to in charge of anything more complicated than a butter knife.

This needs to be brought up daily till our republican buddies realize they are becoming a sub class of underperformed human.

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago

So basically Republicans operate based on fear, while Democrats operate cognitively

Shocker.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yes! I have come to the conclusion that it is actually a medical disorder.

What you're advocating for is authoritarianism and eugenics.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago (6 children)

Er… no one mentioned eugenics but you.

They are a danger to society.

[–] Saone@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That's the same thing that Nazis say about undesirables.

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

That's the same thing we say about Nazis.

Conservative politics are not a race, so equating these comments to eugenics is kind of dumb. People choose to have political opinions, but don't get to choose their race.

[–] TengoDosVacas@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Looks like we might have found the Nazi interloper

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The alternative is a regime of idiots. Pretending that religious and conservative people have the full mental capacity is not getting us very far. Trump and his supporters are a perfect example. These people are fucking hypnotized and dangerous in their idiocy. They should 100% not be allowed to make important decisions.

So much for the "love thy neighbour shit"

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

They never meant it anyway

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.today 19 points 8 months ago

And i'd like to fight him and beat his teeth into his throat . I hate this people so much.

The ten "suggestions" are woke propaganda. /s

[–] TengoDosVacas@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Thankfully, God hates christians and will hurn every one of those motherfuckers to a charred little wad

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

He was looking in a mirror when he said it.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Have you read their policy papers on projection? It's a fundamental component of their strategy 😜
