And here, ladies and gentlemen, is part of the reason hate crime exists. “Is it something I don’t yet know or understand? Quickly, get me my head-burying sand bucket!”
It might be, or it might be not. Unfortunately you won’t know before googling/asking/etc. But hiding from stuff you don’t understand yet isn’t that good of a strategy in general.
It reads a lot like anti-intellectualism, and that never had a positive impact on societies.
“I’m not anti-intellectual about every topic, only the ones I find iffy” is kinda exactly the point here. Everyone has first-priority topics of interest. The issue is being open to understanding other ones.
Edit: the mods deleted this person’s comments, and I disagree with that decision. If someone with a similar worldview stumbles upon such discussions and finds some point in other comments compelling enough to change their mind, that’s a positive result in my book. And removing the other point of view from the comments doesn’t allow people to find associations. The comments should have stayed.
It literally took you like 20x longer to have this conversation than it would’ve taken to google the answer. If you worry about your time not being infinite you should manage it better.
My initial comment was a troll one. I got so much hate i the comments I need a week to digest it. Will think twice if I feel brave enough again to question social dogmas.
I mean, you do you, but you didn’t get hate for “questioning social dogmas” (you didn’t question shit, btw), rather for flaunting your pride for ignorance and being an asshole about it. Rephrase your original statement as a question, and you’ll get zero hate.
one of them is saying people like me are doing crimes.
I must have missed it. Which one?
all my comments (even the “thanks!” got removed by a mod)
Yeah, mods tend not to like trolls very much. And you made it undeniable to even the most lenient mod that you’re trolling by just coming right out and saying it at least twice.
everyone else feels superior by pointing out how bad I am, how good they are, which is kinda funny.
No one likes trolls. You don’t get to gloat that you trolled people when you get pushback for saying something stupid and then turn around and act like you’re a poor oppressed victim because people don’t like the opinion you were totally pretending to hold to troll people.

No one likes trolls. Especially not trolling about things that has gotten folks killed.
Please find a new hobby.
And now you’re whining that you’ve been fed.

The psychos were driven by the same ignorance you’ve made central to your personality.

Being flippant and dismissive of something that has literally gotten people killed tends to get people upset.
Who’s doing that?
oh come on, just check the comments above:
