thank you. i’m not latino, but it always struck me as WTF when all of a sudden “let me be offended for you” people decided they needed to “fix” an entire language’s “sexist” word that none of its speakers were ever offended by

do you approve of the term “LatinX”?

Depends on how you define “Christian”.

this is the only correct reply to any question about “christian” beliefs, opinions, actions, or values at any point in history. funny how you’ll get wildly contradictory responses to a single question about morality from different people in the same congregation at the same church, yet they’re all waving around the exact same bronze age book of tall tales as “proof” of everything

they left out the last cm: “uh-oh, better pull another cig and light it with this one before it goes out”

dude, just order 2 desserts for yourself: one for you, and one for ms. “i don’t want dessert”

problem solved now and forever

i’ve been loudly condemning trump for well over 10 years, losing relationships with friends and family because of it. I didn’t “invite” shit, and i accept zero responsibility for the bullshit fascist…whatever the fuck you call this place now. this country is full of fucking racist brainwashed sheep and/or just plain gullible morons.

the point isn’t to “win.” the point is to be at war

are you gonna tell me that in a crowd of 1000 people, your eye isn’t drawn to some people over others?

everyone has “shallow preferences,” and yes, some people definitely limit themselves to those alone, but not everyone is that dumb

i can’t say i have a definite answer to why dudes behave that way. if i had to guess i’d say these people have adopted the hive mentality of “it’s women’s fault i can never get a date” and can’t figure out why they get ghosted after acting like an asshole all the time. they don’t idolize asian women, they idolize cartoon depictions of asian women (girls).

one thing i can tell you for sure is that those people aren’t worth a molecule of your time and attention, and giving them either of those things is pretty much giving them what they want.

maybe you’re finding yourself among sweaty incels who own more than one anime waifu body pillow

if it makes you feel any better, i’m an asian man and prefer white women over asian women. nothing “wrong” with either, just my preference

If you are many generations in and have, for all intents and purposes, lost your connection with the hyphenated part of your culture, and don’t have any intent to learn with or contect with that culture other than by name, it does feel a bit preformative

i.e., an american saying “i’m italian” even though they don’t speak a word of it and have never been there, but grandma has an italian name

there are so many things in the world those people could lash out about, instead of trying to bully someone who’s making them salty because reasons. tell haters to go fuck themselves and go on about your day

of course technofascist bloatligarchs want, above all else, a) to control/surveil everyone that isn’t themselves; and b) to exploit them to the maximum extent possible for profit

the graph of progress they’ve made in those areas since the WWW was invented is all line go up. the internet we grew up with is dying. being killed actually, step by step. it was fun while it lasted

“protect the children” LOL what a fucking joke. more like “how can we make it so these future consumers just can’t live without instatwittokbookcord?”

“conservative” as a valid train of thought died with john mccain

you will find juvenile trolls on whatever platform you use, especially as more and more people join. fediverse is no exception. “go back to reddit” is the new “touch grass.” whatever rational explanation there may be for people lashing out probably isn’t worth the effort to understand. best advice is to ignore and/or block people who are making you read this much into their ranting.

“conservative/right wing” views are basically nazi views. calling this mindset “different views” is like calling child rape “different tastes”–it starts and finishes as complete bullshit. it’s not a different view, it’s a fucking wrong view.

people with these “different views” are in support of a corrupt pedo rapist fascist fucking con man, and we just bombed a school full of children. there is no echo chamber in support of any of that here yet, and honestly, if/when that becomes the case, i’ll be going somewhere else.

also, are you a right winger, on .ml?
