This feels like Rage Bait, but I should include that in the discription.

Honestly, America should just get over 9/11. It led to the Iraq war (which nobody likes anymore). You don't see Iraq doing their remembrances for what we did to them.
And this remembrance is pointless and boring.
People go murdered. Alright; well the grieving time is 1 week; not 24 years.
We should get over it and #StartToForget.
Being depressed over 9/11 is a choice because depression is a choice. Be upset at Kirk's death or something; that's way more relevant for the modern day.
This is the vast majority of whites and people of color alike. Democrat; republican; the majority of us all are bigots. That's democracy in practice!
The majority of every race doesn't support trans rights defined as, "do you think the TW are real women?" !
Maybe the majority of gays might agree soon!
Trump won Hispanics and Asians for a reason (despite him saying he wants to close the border).
They are fine with the Leopard eating their face if they also eat the face of transgenders!
->The fact that you think referring to someone by their preferred pronoun is a performance tells us everything we need to know.
That tells you what you need to know about 82% of the population according to Ipsos.
->If I told you my name was Julian, but I go by "Julz", are you putting on a performance by calling me Julz?
Names and pronouns are different.
-> The only thing that might require a performance is doing so while holding back your hatred and disgust of that individual.
"Hateful" and "disgusting" I can add to the, "I support the current insult" list.
->If 82% of the population thinks treating trans people with the same kennel of respect we'd give anyone else requires a performance, then yes, they would be hateful.
Well, that's the reality. 82% are transphobic, hateful, and disgusting fascists. America fuck yeah!
->So you have no reading comprehension and/or are just not a serious person. Got it.
If all non-leftists aren't serious to you because you can't fathom to think how someone can seriously disagree with you, then yes; 82% aren't serious people (but they vote).
That's democracy, buddy. Majority rule. This is the vast majority of whites and people of color alike.
The majority of us all are bigots. That's democracy in practice!
If someone from the labeling left criticizes Charlie Kirk's killing, then it's pretend; they are too cowardly to say their true beliefs. If a steelmanning left person criticizes the killing of Kirk, then it's genuine.
On DART, the only left wingers for the most part are steelmanning left wingers (although RM probably could have been a labeling left winger if he was not religious).
Left wingers like RM are the majority of leftists in the US.
-> This is the worst possible reaction from the right, just as cheering and celebrating is the worst from the left. You’re cherry picking the worst of the worst people, and you’re generalizing an entire politics party to be exactly like those horrible people.
I cherry pick the honest people from the left. The rest want to be agreeable (while they claim that the right are fascists). People lie about their beliefs like politicians.
-> There are not “two sides” in American politics, only two major parties, and there is still great division and nuance between the beliefs of the members of those parties. Saying half of all Americans support the cold blooded murder of a husband and a father for expressing his opinions in public is just plain vitriol.
I said the left. The Steelmanning left doesn't (the Kyle Kulinski, Pee Buttigieg, Dean Withers) types are maybe 10% of the left. The labeling types do (90% of the left, and this is usually Vaush, Hasan Piker, etc).
The Steelmanning left is significantly disproportionally more common on YT because if you are on YT for long amounts of time (8 hrs daily) for a long enough time (few years), then you will see more and more right wing arguments. The steelmanning left tends to be exposed right wing speech a lot. The labeling left usually doesn't go to YT because they can't stand right wing opinions and the ones that do go to right wing pages to label them and they get a kick out of it. But the labeling left will pretty much only go to the Vaush and rarely Kyle Kulinski (because although Kyle steelman's the right; the labeling left often can't get in that much detail with what Kyle says.
The labeling left won't hate steelman left wingers like Pete Buttigieg (assuming he was pro Palestine) but they will give him criticism for even going on right wing pages. The steelmanning left doesn't spend much time on YT and they block extremely frequently.
If someone from the labeling left criticizes Charlie Kirk's killing, then it's pretend; they are too cowardly to say their true beliefs. If a steelmanning left person criticizes the killing of Kirk, then it's genuine.

->You’re pretending to be incapable of pretending.
Should people be pressured to put on a performance to make others feel better? No (except for work).
->In no way shape or form was I trying to change the subject to healthcare, but you already know that.
You were trying to change the subject to healthcare.
->You started off this thread saying you would “sarcastically accept” being called hateful, but when I broke down for you exactly why people would call you that you couldn’t take it
If refusing to put on a performance makes 82% of the population hateful, then 82% of the population is hateful.
->I’m not the one who needs to get over it, you’re the one who seems to be triggered by having someone else point out to you why it’s obvious that you’re hateful.
It's obvious that to you, 82% of the population is hateful.
->Granted, 90% of people on the left oppose this shooting
Sure they do. That's why they say, "Fight fascism" without debating it. They fled in, "What is a woman?" They think Walsh is a Fascist to be fought, but they don't argue with him. The only alternative fighting to debating is to block and disassociate or to violently attack (and they justify it by pointing out views from Walsh or Kirk that they think are horrible as a soft justification for killing Kirk).
How else do you fight it if not arguing? With bullets in the neck.
I don't agree with them; but the left supports murdering conservatives whether or not they are willing to admit to it.
BTW; that 82% of the US population is maybe 90% among blacks in the US; who view LGBT stuff as western imperialism and white culture forced on their minority communities.
Who is anti-minority now?
Do you (leftist) side more with Jammal or Petra (used to be Peter)? Because Jammal thinks Petra is a man.

->If that person identifies as a woman, referring to them as “she” is respecting their wish to be identified as such. That’s common sense.
You would only refer to the person as a she if you think they're a woman.
->It’s not a deflection, it’s the point.
This is a culture war thread; not a healthcare thread. Make your own healthcare thread. This is what people say when they can't defend their positions.
->Yet people like yourself don’t seem to care anything about it, instead you focus on all these niche issues that accomplish nothing except to delegitimize the existence of other minority groups.
If believing a transwoman is a man is delegitimatizing their existence, then yes; 82% of the US population delegitimizes the existence of trans people. I will add that insult to the list; your insults have lost their spell.
->The pattern is very suggestive of a mindset animated and motivated by grievances, which is just a polite way of saying facially hateful.
Hateful is the new insult.
82% of Americans are hateful by your standard; get over it.
->So they can fight on abortion or immigration or student loans or crime or guns or any of the other 10 issues Americans care about more than climate change, none of which require a global conspiracy.
Not everyone is left wing on those issues, so it could backfire. But nobody wants the planet to burn, so it's fearmongering.
-> You seem to be obsessed with other people's genitals, especially people like in this picture.
I didn't mention genitals.
-> Oh well, whatever gets you off, if this picture gives you a woody, fine, why would we want to change your mind?
I don't get turned on by dudes.
->What makes you hateful is to disregard the struggle of millions of people as nothing more than a delusion they have chosen
I would have to call the freak above a woman in order to do that (so me calling them a man is hateful).
->Things like… I don’t know… affordable healthcare, affordable child care, a job market favorable to the middle class, shit like that.
This is a deflection and off topic. If you want to make a healthcare thread, then do it elsewhere.
All of the people that liked my comment disagree with you.
Anyone that thinks I'm hateful for saying it (or any other "current insult" that you prefer) I will sarcastically accept.
If you want to change my mind, then come up with something better than boring (but entertaining) name calling.
I'm a dude.
You can't just "identify as X" and become X. We accept this with Rocks, cats, dogs, and iPhone. A gender that doesn't match your chromosomes is no different.
Brown is my last name.
I support a one world nation, so as long as nobody got killed in the process, I'd support that.
-> In Denmark, emissions have gone down. In Sweden, they went down. In Chile, they went up, but up is the general trend with increasing demand, if it was just about Dems winning elections, Chile wouldn't be investing to stop it at all.
The Danes and Swedes actually believe in climate change, so when they say, "Climate change needs to be solved", I respect them on it. They aren't the majority; CO2 emissions worldwide are still going up.
->So they have all those other issues to fight over. No need for a global conspiracy involving scientists in every country to help Dems win elections.
Democrats trying to legalize gay marriage for example you don't really care that much about if you're straight (unless you have a very big heart which most people don't have). Trump wasn't an option in 2005.
->I am okay with taking away Rosie O'Donnel's citizenship
You are MAGA; of course you would say that.
->I didn't say every country takes steps against climate change, just that the US isn't the only country concerned with it. Denmark, Sweden, and Chile, for example, have worked on reducing emissions.
What were the carbon emissions of these countries from 2016 and what are they in 2025?
->If they're working together, why do they need to take opposite stances on a made up hoax in order to win votes?
Because politics is a show. You need young people to feel like they are "fighting the good fight" (whether it's climate change, LGBT stuff, or Trump) so they give money voluntarily to the parties.
->Convincing a bunch of other countries with their own scientists that climate change is an important issue seems like overkill if they control all elections anyway.
It's essential for the political show to go on.
Basically, code, for, "might makes right".
In reality, it's, "might brings the benefits of being right", but I see the point.
->You do realize that climate change is studied globally right? And that every reputable scientific organization literally everywhere on earth affirms that climate change is real… right?
They might get funding from the DNC as well. Scientists are easy for a government to bribe.
->The only reason the Democratic Party benefits from people believing it’s real is because republicans decided to turn full blown conspiracy theorist in order to deny it
The reason why republicans don't believe in climate change (for a lot of them) is they don't want to believe in climate change. If climate change is real, then trillions of dollars of tax money would have to be spent to eliminate it (which if you're republican, then you hate high taxes). Carbon emissions have gone up globally despite every country saying climate change is real, but the conservatives of Indonesia for example don't care about cutting government spending, so they are more willing to give lip service to the idea for votes.
The 1st article about global warming came in 2005 from what I've seen (https://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/04/08/earth.policy/index.html). It's no coincidence that this happened in Bush'es 2nd term; when the Dems felt desperate after Bush won the popular vote in 2004, so they had to come up with something to scare people into voting for higher taxes and government spending to solve a made up problem.
Fear sells control better than force.

See above.
A bunch of racists on Quora have been saying any white person that is fine with non white immigrants freely moving here is a self hating white.
Alright; I guess that's me then. I'm a self hating white and I genuinely hope the majority are.
You know how the word, "racist" lost it's power now? The same is true for, "self hating white". Leftists can do it too, you know. Insults don't mean anything anymore.
You tagged the wrong person.
->It's easier than thinking.
Projection; you outsource your thinking to some science lab 3000 km away.
