Conservatives are much more hateful than any stereotype

RusAD ,

I should be what? A conservative? No, thank you, I live in reality and I'm not scared of made-up culture war bullshit

RusAD ,

Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren't, you're hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives

RusAD ,

How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?

RusAD ,

Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven't you heard?

RusAD ,

Well... if a conservative:

  • supports gay marriage
  • doesn't believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
  • is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
  • supports transgender athletes
  • supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
  • is okay with drag shows and doesn't believe they're automatically unsuitable for children
  • doesn't believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
  • supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country's history
  • supports immigration
  • supports diversity and inclusion
  • doesn't believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
  • doesn't support patriarchy
  • defends women's rights to abortion
  • believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc

Is this person still a conservative?

RusAD ,

Yeah. There's a lot of things that conservatives hate, that's what I was saying since the beginning. And I didn't even mention the hate of non-christians, for example, or for socialists.

And if you support some things but not the others, you're still supporting policies based on hate, so my point stands

RusAD ,

Can you give me one singular reason to oppose gay marriage that isn't based on hate?

RusAD ,

Ok, so you do admit that opposition to gay marriage is based on hate. Good.

And the discussion was about the fact that the vast majority of conservative policies are dictated by fear. Have you forgotten?

RusAD ,

I thought about it and... yes it is racist

RusAD ,

And this is exactly the message of the comic. Yet you disagree with the comic...

RusAD ,

Then what's your problem with the comic?

RusAD ,

I also live in Russia, and in my experience certain VPNs just get blocked by the ISP. Like, I just can't connect to certain VPNs, the connection either gets stuck in an infinine loop or fails with an error. But some other VPNs still work without any problems.

Plus, since the beginning of this month, it's prohibited to promote/advertise "means to avoid blocked internet resources", i.e. proxies/VPNs/etc, so it can be called "partially restricted"
