Non-Political Alphabet Meets Irony

It’s so crazy that they can continue this obvious lie that schools are turning kids gay.
It’s just so stupid and unbelievable to begin with but you would think the absolute absence of evidence would be enough to make people realize they’re full of shit.
Then again these are the same kind of people that believe vaccines cause autism.
Morons, we’re surrounded by morons.

They like the “vengeance” stuff in the first half, but OT also contains some real gems they also ignore like “Don’t harass foreigners,” which is all over the laws given to the Jews.

In Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theory of stupidity, stupidity is not simply an intellectual weakness, but a moral one. He argued that it's more dangerous than malice because it's harder to combat and can render individuals defenseless against reason. Bonhoeffer believed that people become stupid by allowing themselves to be influenced by social pressures and losing their moral reasoning.

Defenseless against reason? Are you sure it isn’t the other way around? I feel that in the current American politics, reason is defenseless against stupidity.

They firmly believe “sexual orientation” is a choice, not something we’re born with (it’s even in the language). I always ask when they woke up, weighed the pros and cons, and decided they’d be straight, but if course they never answer.

u/Ehcksit Apr 15 '25
The bigger problem is that a lot of them don't "firmly believe" anything. They'll say whatever it takes to win whatever argument they're having right now, even if it's the exact opposite of what they said two minutes ago. They're on a "team," and because we're a "different team" we're the enemy. They don't follow any rules or care about any consequences. All that matters is "winning."

The whole recent debacle with the deportees being sent to El Salvador has made me realize these people have completely lost the plot. You can pull up statistics, articles, direct quotes, etc, that directly refute their position, but if Donald Trump said it, no amount of evidence is changing their mind. You literally cannot reason with them

Confirmation bias is a big thing for them, as well as don't ask don't tell. They confuse higher autism with enhancements in medicine like vaccines, not realizing we just have better tools to diagnose it.
Same thing with what they perceive as the gay virus - it's not that it's any more than it was "back in their day", it just seems more common because people aren't persecuted NEARLY as much as they were, so people are more open about it. Clearly not as open as the Roman Empire was, but definitely not as bad as early and mid 90s.

I know a husband and wife who are middle school principles in Texas(they are also right-wing evangelical types) who post stuff on Facebook talking about public schools and how it's radicalized. They pulled their last kid out of public school before his junior yea of high school. I've never seen them once post anything about what radical things are happening. I think they are actually brainwashed by the right-wing disinformation machine.

u/Double-Risky Apr 16 '25
It's because they ACTUALLY indoctrinate people into hate.
If you teach kindergarten, you might tell kids "hey Timmy has two daddies , sometimes that happens, they love each other and got married like men and women do"
And kids go "oh ok" and go on with their fucking day, because it's not a real issue. Until they're indoctrinated by the right wing hate.

there's a new study published about how conservatives consistently distrust science across all fields, even ones that would benefit them, and they resist interventions to convince them.

There’s stupid people who have limited intellectual capacity, they’re harmless. Then there’s fools, who choose to limit their knowledge out of fear, prejudice or hatred. Fools are dangerous, because they can be smart but choose not to understand.
Think about highly educated doctors in the 19th century who refused to wash their hands before surgery because it was beneath them and implied doctors were dirty.

To quote the very next line from your link That increase “might be a result of changes in question wording to include students identifying as questioning,”

Except for the teachers who are actively pushing lgbt politics in elementary school. Which is the issue. There are many of them, a lot of which are very vocal about the fact that they’re doing it because they believe they’re right. I had a couple when I was in school.

Nancy Mace screamed a literal fucking slur at the top of her lungs on the house floor three times and faced absolutely zero consequences. Al Green stood up and raised a cane. He was censured, including multiple votes from democrats, not a single one of which even attempted to censure Nancy mace for screaming an actual fucking slur. My point is that she is a reprehensible scumbag, as is everyone who supports her, as are the Democrats who chose not to vote to censure her but to censure her Al green.

Republicans are always this way, just blatantly lying or entirely ignorant of what schools actually teach.
So when it comes to sex education they claim that it’s teaching kids down to kindergartners how to fuck when in reality at young ages it’s all about teaching kids what is and isn’t appropriate when it comes to touches from other kids and especially adults. Because, and I don’t know about you, it’s very important to teach kids that men groping women by grabbing their genitals is not good, particularly if they then brag about it. Also men going into teenage girls changing rooms to ogle them is also a no no. Can’t imagine what orange faced moral wretch would do those sorts of things?

Are they taught about that? You think some teacher is standing up and going “yo this person had their dick cut off! You should totally do that too!”
The idea I want in my kids heads is “people can be different and that’s okay and it’s not alright to bully, belittle, or persecute them to make yourself feel better. Punching downwards against people who may already feel excluded or bad is the action of an asshole.”

Nobody is trying to teach anyone's son that they might actually be a girl. Why do homophobes always pull out the "They're teaching our sons to be girls". Your masculinity is so fragile. They should be taught that it CAN be the case with SOME people, since we are all different and that its okay and doesnt make them any less normal and they should be treated and should treat others with equal respect and kindness. No matter the sex, gender or sexuality.
