More like blissfully ignorant. My experience with conservatives is that they like to sweep problems under the rug and pretend everything to be fine.

ahh yes family values like bailing Andrew Tate out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Not to mention worshipping a thrice-married sexual predator

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Andrew Tate and his brother have probably, uh, you know...

Ignorance is bliss, and to persist with conservatism requires embracing an ever expanding level of wilful ignorance.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 17 hours ago

Privilege. Especially white privilege. It's easier to be happy when you're benefiting from the invisible suffering of others.

He does stand up. He's pretty funny. I like when he heckles back at hecklers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

The funny part is that he’s known as a heckle comedian but has publicly stated that he hates hecklers. He’s only known as a heckle comedian because he has zero qualms about tearing them down as soon as they try. His comebacks are usually pretty brutal because he just wants to end the heckling and keep his set moving.

Stop censoring these people's names and faces. They said it. They said it out loud and proud, in front of god and everyone. Why are we afraid to show them?!

Some places do have rules against name and shame, to be fair. Not sure that this is one of them, but still a safe general rule to follow.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Those places deserve pushback on that bullshit

If someone said it in public then they're fine with it being out there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Oh, I absolutely don't disagree with you, I can just see why people would err on the side of caution with their own posts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You may be looking for the phrase "chilling effect". It's not just for legal stuff now, but for doing anything proper because it brings too much trouble.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Yes, that would work to describe it. It's also a phenomenon that has existed since our pre-human ancestors began social relationships.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, they do say ignorance is bliss.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

They must be euphoric.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

Oh boy, you have no idea how much. Imagine knowing you will be tortured for eternity.

Conservatives are racist nazis that have the IQ of an inbred redneck

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've noticed that conservatives cant feel empathy. They only feel sympathy. This is why they don't understand any injustice until if effects them personally. This is the root psychological reasoning behind the leopards eating faces memes.

The richest man in the world, who has only ONCE paid anything approaching a 20% tax rate and crowed like he was a PHILANTHROPIST when he did, is removing all social programs that are a safety net for the poorest and most desperate among us.

Empathy? Sympathy? They are vampires.

I prefer to call them Ghouls.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

Completely unrelated, I had a character for Age of Sigmar's Soulbound (TTRPG). I played a ghoul named Jeff Bezos and I doubled down on the ghoul madness.

I'm just waiting to bring back Jeff with his now 2 imaginary friends, Musky and Zucky.

"We're happier than libruls"

Must be the whole "Ignorance is bliss" as well

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that they are "happier" is not a factual statement.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Was going to say, most that I know seem pretty miserable and looking for someone to blame or hate

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

Like a cop beating up a suspect they're... happy.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Lack of empathy and utterly selfish. It enables these trash humans to take others rights and believe the lie that doing it is a good thing.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah I was going to say to stupid to know any better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

People these days seem happiest when ostracizing, excluding, and destroying another's life just because they are different.

Empathy is dead, because if you show empathy it's grounds for expulsion. Anyone still capable of empathy has been ejected from society by the twitter mob over the past decade. The only people left are callous bullies.
