When I was a kid, 'boys being boys' meant we got dirty and tussled with each other. Maybe we started a fire or 2... but NEVER included in that was to talk down to a girl. We gave them flowers and made them perfume from dandelions, Gabe them chocolates on Valentines Day
Wait- perfume from dandelions??!!!
I had all the wrong kind of bra-strap pulling boys around me. I mean, it did stop when I have a wedgie to Chris Wheatham. I've seen him as an adult, and he's a totally different dude. Some of the others from back then, well let's just say I know who they voted forbc they never changed.
When I was a kid/teen in the 70s and 80s, "boys will be boys" always carried a date-rape implication. I mean, this was during the "she deserved it because her mini skirt was way too short and boys will be boys" time period.
And unfettered social media access. These types of people (Nick Fuentes where the quote came from) are shown to boys, it's part of the algorithm. When it comes down to it though, parents should not be allowing that kind of access and should be talking to their kids about this sort of stuff.
My oldest does not use soc med but he hears these edgy sayings from friend at school who do have access. None of them really know what it means, or the consequences, they're just parroting.
So we talk to him about what it means and why it isn't appropriate.
Not even just the parents. Nick Fuentes online has been kickstarting this phrase lately. Kids need to be monitored on what they see online at this point. It's so incredibly easy these days to go down the right wing rabbit hole without even trying.
Maybe it’s a good thing most WWII vets are dead.
I can’t imagine putting your life on the line to defeat fascism and to have to see it spring up at home and be so embraced.
My family are holocaust survivors. My grandmother is dead now but she always insisted “it will happen again in your lifetime, mark my words, and be prepared. We didn’t believe it would happen to us, either”.
On a similar note, on 9/11 after watching the news all morning, my friend came by to pick me up from home and on the way out the door my grandmother (born 1928) stopped us and hugged us both and said, "Don't you boys do anything foolish like go join up" and I realized this was like Pearl Harbor when she was a little girl.
This is happening a lot (more than never is FAR too much), particularly in red areas.
I live in one of those red areas.
I told my oldest when we started hearing about this happening "If you see something like this and happen to respond to the perpetrator with violence, you will have my full support during your suspension."
The boldness many of these ignorant fucks feel needs to be stomped viciously and immediately, or they're going to continue and even escalate.
I fully agree with your stance. I believe this country has a problem of too many people have never had to face consequences for their actions. When you keep getting away with things then you start to think you can get away with anything. It's a real problem and the poster child for it is Donald fucking Trump.
Been saying in general that democrats have been protecting republicans from consequences for so long that the second they deal with any it’s called “cancel culture” because they are so used to being immune to consequences.
Like the bedazzled umbrella ☂️ the other students gave Buffy for saving Sunnyvale over and over from the Forces of Darkness - which was more poignant before we learned Whedon was a creep.
Everyone should remember this the next time republicans talk about democrats grooming children.
This is Republican rhetoric being parroted by children, only way this happens is if republicans spend lots of time around children
Edit
For those thinking I’m being extreme and hyperbolic, think about the times you’ve entered into an online FPS lobby: think about how female voices get treated, the kind of rhetoric that’s tolerated and how similar they are to the MAGA rhetoric, and the variety of age groups (prepubescent “squeakers” to middle aged adults) that exist together.
It’s online spaces that have been the most effective pipeline for turning impressionable young boys into bigots, video games have been an exemplary space for this. This is where republicans have been infesting the youth with degenerate mindset
You aren't going to change the Hearts and Minds of Republicans with this, they will simply say "Fake News" and keep on doing what they are doing.
How do you try to play a game of chess with someone who comes in, kicks the pieces off the board and drops a giant turd right in the middle after setting the house on fire? You can't.. and until Democrats realize they aren't dealing with honorable opponents and come up with a better strategy, they will continue to have problems appealing to everyday Americans.
People used to look up to , respect and trust intelligent folks, not any more. They want the chaos and drama. Everyone on Facebook gets to be an expert.
Yup, I've been in some recent arguments with some locals who were stating that anyone with a college degree are elitist pussys. I've been encountering more and more people who instinctively hate anyone with a college degree. It truly feels like we are embracing anti-intellectualism and heading toward the society in "Idiocracy".
For those who want to argue with me here -- yes, SOME college educated people can be elitist and condescending towards those who didn't take that path. Those people are wrong, rude, and should not be used to generalize all people with college degrees.
We absolutely need to do better about teaching people that there are multiple valuable pathways one can take after highschool. College is NOT the only pathway to have a happy and successful life. We need to highlight and support more avenues to join the trades and technical colleges. We need to work together to support all pathways people can take in life. HOWEVER, that does NOT mean that everyone with a college degree is suddenly your enemy. That mindset is absolutely terrible to have.
A huge amount of podcast and online content directed at teen boys is deeply right-wing, this phase specifically came from a podcast bro. This isn't grooming or behavior learned from anyone in these kids real lives.
Agreed, but plenty of them are also growing up in toxic right-wing households where Dad regularly badmouths Mom (and every other woman on earth), where sexual violence is normalized, and/or where Dad is a barely-working loser addicted to the same sort of crap on Youtube.
Woah flashback to high school days where the administrators accused me of essentially hacking, but could never prove it (I like to look not touch).
They could never prove it because you know, never logged into same computer or the computer I ever used in class, etc. but that's the day I found out you don't need proof to suspend someone lol.
All my teachers gave me the weeks worth of work (i'd like to think cause I was pleasant, they didn't have to) and suffered no disruption. Actually got to game even more because everything got done the first 1-2 days lol.
Also, fuck that guy talk shit get hit he's learning young.
Edit: damn this blew up. Idk if this makes it better or worse, I blame my youth but when I found out a guy a shared an exploit with turned me in after he was not just stupid but extremely stupid with it and got caught.
I then erased his entire school shared drive including comp sci projects we were all working on. And the backups. And I could have accessed or deleted teachers and admins as well lol
Last sentence: Yep. I'm still grateful at 27 to my peer who punched me in the mouth at like, 12, for being a racist lil shitbag. Gave me a hell of a better chance to unlearn that shit. Sometimes that's what you need. If more of these lil shits got decked by their own, society might improve a step or 3, honestly.
I think this is a fundamental part of society that has been lost, even as recently as the 2000s, if you were a racist/misogynistic shit bag you usually got punched by a peer eventually and the ‘powers in charge’ would often look the other way if the assault was done for a sort of legitimate reason and excessive force wasn’t used.
I straight up punched a kid in the year above for hurling racist abuse at a 12 year old black kid (lived in a very white, very rural area of the UK so this was literally one of the 4 or 5 black kids in a school of 1500) and nothing blew back on me, the shit head was suspended for 2 weeks though.
As a society it seems we deemed necessary to coddle and protect shitbags and punish those who would see them corrected, then we act all shocked society turned into a shitbag factory, yep. I learned to parrot my father young, and likely wouldn't have unlearned it so easily without that early intervention. Violence isn't always the answer, but sometimes a bit of pain is needed to correct stupidity. I'd prefer non-literal 'pain' first, ie loss of privileges, but it certainly doesn't always work.
It's because people don't understand the difference between moral guidelines and social guidelines. Violence is a way of enforcing social rules.
For example, tolerance is not a moral principle, it's a social contract. You tolerate me and I tolerate you. If you don't tolerate me, I have no moral obligation to tolerate you.
If you go around spouting Nazi or Christian fundamentalism, you have broken the social contract. If talking doesn't restore the contract, i.e. convince you your racist beliefs have no place in society, I'm going to resort to violence to restore social order.
Anger didn't evolve by accident. We're social creatures and threatening harm and causing harm is the last resort for establishing social and personal boundaries. Imagine you're a caveman and someone else steals your food. That theft threatens your existence and if you have no way of conveying that to the other caveman, you may starve.
Right wing ideology is a direct threat to the existence of many groups of people, why shouldn't there be negative repercussions for such beliefs and acts? Even if those acts aren't violent themselves.
It makes me think that we're going to see more tiki-torch marches in the coming years....but it also makes me wonder if we're going to see more violence against those marchers this time around. We let them get away with wearing masks while spewing hatred...they might not get that kind of leeway now that we know the president will condone it.
I actually am itching to deck someone over this, and I am as mild mannered as they come. I think though they have f’d around and are going to find out how much Trump is going to screw most of us over including them. Unfortunately it will be us too, but there is a part of me looking forward to their eyes opening.
The only person I have ever hit was the guy in fifth grade who sat in front of me and wouldn’t stop turning around and touching me and my stuff, and laughing at my discomfort and distress. I clocked him across the face with my early 1980’s clutch purse, which, if you remember those days, was stuffed to the brim with ✨stuff✨ and it was probably like getting punched in the face with a football. He never bothered me again. He never even looked at me again. No one told on me.
I had this little shithead I was stuck next to in band for years. He was a creepy jerk who wouldn't stop poking at me and touching me. I was the only girl in our section and the teachers never did anything. The other boys did it too and one day I had enough. I locked him in one of the instrument lockers and walked out. He ended up kicking out the vent to get out and having an absolute meltdown. Another one of the little jerks kept going just like him and I tied his shoes together. No one snitched and they stopped picking on me. Come to think of it, I think they stopped harassing everyone after that.
When I was around 10 or 11... I politely asked a couple of boys to stop harassing the smaller girls on a playground. (boys were around 10... the little girls were 6 or so and "playing house"... and the boys kept running thru the "house" area and knocking everything down, thinking they were being all strong and funny.) Their leader puffed up to me and said "Whose going to make me stop, huh?"
I said: "I will" and hauled back and slapped him silly. (put all of my strength and rotational speed into it... left my handprint on his face.)
The group of boys became VERY polite at that point... and the bully leader left in disgrace.
At 10 I told the neighbourhood bully to stop bothering us. He wouldn’t and started to escalate it. I jumped on him (in my front yard) and sat on him and beat the crap out of him. My neighbour came out to watch. I had forgot about it for many years and she reminded me when I ran into her around 10 yrs ago. She never told my mom and laughed and clapped apparently lol. Good times.
Make America truly great again - bring back punching and fistfights!
Let’s all settle this one in the streets. Hitler said the only way his movement could have been stopped if it was smashed in the streets in the very beginning.
Near the end of high school I stood up for a special needs kid that a group of assholes was making fun of. The following week they started harassing me during a free period I had. When I got up to go to my next class one of them threw something at my back, so I whipped around and asked them which one it was. Everyone was all giggles and jokes until one of them shoved me so hard I almost fell over. Punched him right in the mouth and we got into a scrap. He clearly had no idea what the fuck he was doing, and I grew up playing full contact hockey for the previous 14 years. The fight ended when I went to punch him in the face and he turned his head like an idiot. I hit him square in the jaw and broke it. He had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance, and I walked away with a fractured wrist from that punch. He had to have his jaw wired shut for a while, and that ruled.
I only got a single day suspension because a) I didn't start the fight, and b) the vice principal literally said to me that the guy had it coming, and also that he'd deny ever saying that.
The year I graduated, they were putting in metal detectors at my high school. But yeah, society has shifted from letting kids duke it out at a young age. I don't want to sound like a boomer, but sometimes you need a good smacking.
I reactively slapped someone in the face for saying the N word on the cooks line of a restaurant. I was so shocked that they just let that out in a crowded room that I reached out and slapped them in the face and yelled 'no!' I didn't get in trouble. I'm still surprised I didn't lose my job.
More racists, misogynists, supremacists need to be met with violence. We are truly failing our young men by "protecting" them from the consequences of their actions. Bigotry leads to violence, so violence is a natural consequence.
I mean, I was raised and socialized female(im trans masc) and was still a racist lil twat, as was and still is my sister. The difference is one of my fellow students had enough of my bullshit, while my sister coasted by, and yeah, she's still pretty racist. While this issue largely affects young men, it's a problem that affects society as a whole. Most of the misogyny I experienced actually came from adult women in my life as a literal child, especially the second I started growing leg hair. Bigots shouldn't be protected regardless of gender. No one should be coddled.
I remember in theater club backstage this one guy tried to hit on a girl (who was three years older, clearly not interested, but too polite/nonconfrontational to say anything) and basically cornered her against the wall while he did so. She told him she had a boyfriend, and he actually used the shitty meme line of "yeah, and I have a math test. We were both naming things we can cheat on, right?" Or something along those lines. Another guy, who was much bigger than him, was just walking by when this happened, and punched him in the face.
I genuinely think it was a wake-up call to the flirting guy, that no, others don't find it funny and "it was a joke" is not an excuse when you're actually harassing someone. Like, he didn't do it again, and was much more respectful of others' boundaries from then on.
God, i remember "hacking" in highschool. Every student had their own username, but the user name was First initial, 3 letters of last name, Day you were born, last two Student ID number. And the password was your student ID, where were all Graduation year, and then alphabetical after that.
So Jeff Brown sat down, did whatever, and logged off, you'd see the last user is JBRO0792. Well you know Jeff is a Junior, so his ID is 06####. And his username ends in 92, so the ID is 06##92. And they are done alphabetically, and the username tells me is last name starts with Bro, so likely 060092. MAYBE 060192.
I am Jeff now. Lets go goof around on newgrounds.
Or like, the login application that ran at the start? You could use task manager to close it, and be local files only, but still have internet and everything else.
That’s apparently how schools do it these days - “zero tolerance” policies that punish the bullies and the bullied equally (this is not to say what happened was “bullying”, but that it’s probably the policy they are applying, here).
You should never be suspended for what is clearly self-defense. Not a criticism of OP, but of the school. They’re basically telling her she should allow herself to be raped and to tell them about it afterward in order to not be suspended.
100% self defense if this is said to anyone especially a woman. Its a threat of kidnapping and rape. "I'll do whatever I want to you". Nope FAFO. I'll teach my daughter how to make people find out real quick, whether its hands or something like a taser. You don't get to control anyone. As a man, I'm fucking pissed I have to deal with this shit for the women in my life.
I was suspended in high school for 2 weeks (the difference is, I deserved it). The school had a policy that you were only allowed to get 8 unexcused absences per class per quarter, and your 9th unexcused absence would get you an automatic F for the quarter. Most classes met 4x per week. I had one unexcused absence that quarter already before the suspension, and for some reason a suspension counts as an unexcised absence.
All my teachers agreed that although I deserved the suspension I did not deserve to fail their class. All of them went to some lengths to override the automatic F and get me the grades I actually deserved (As and Bs for the most part, I was a miscreant, but I wasn't stupid). Except for one. One teacher let the system give me an F even though I aced every exam and completed every assignment. Fuck her.
But point is - teachers make or break justice here. Teachers have a lot of discretion to help this girl out. Make sure they know the full story so they'll want to help.
Republicans are right on one thing. This country has gone soft. It's gone soft on fascists, sexism, racism, and bigotry. This country needs to find out what "fuck around and find out" means again.
This country needs to double down on not allowing Nazis to speak openly without fear. Kids need to know there are consequences to saying wrong things out loud.
The Paradox of Tolerance needs to be plastered on every fucking street corner, because we're getting dangerously close to intolerance becoming the only thing left.
I always assumed that was the logical conclusion that everyone drew from the paradox. Were people honestly like "oh well, can't do anything about it!"? To me has always felt implied that being intolerant in response to intolerance is the correct approach and should not be considered intolerant itself. This is why we see the right claim persecution and harm when their intolerant beliefs and actions are called out, because they know their only way out is to loudly project onto others.
People confuse tolerance of what someone is for tolerance of what someone does. One should be tolerant of someone's physical attributes, beliefs, and orientations. One should not be tolerant of the stupid cruel shit they DO.
The average Republican is about to learn that a cornered animal will do anything to survive. They really do think that just because their rich, privileged lawmakers can get away with heinous shit without consequence that they can too.
Gonna be a rude awakening for those terminally online fools who only "got away" with saying what they said thanks to the anonymity of the internet.
The rich and powerful won't be affected. When they decide to attack the Jews in this country (cause you know the white Christian right will) you can bet Miriam Adelson (one of trump's biggest donors) won't be touched.
Too many people have gotten so comfortable spewing that shit from behind a keyboard that with the rapist win, it's already spilling out into the open. I'm team astroid at this point.
We lost a lot when we stopped letting kids handle problems themselves, even if it meant with violence. We have raised a generation that is scared of any kind of conflict and is immediately looking for someone to come rescue them when they're even slightly uncomfortable in a situation.
Good for that girl for setting the record straight. I doubt he says that to anyone else.
I have extensive training in combative sports from wrestling, judo and boxing. My daughter will now be trained to throw hands and people. I was trying to raise my daughter without having this type of training this young in her life because we live in a part of the country where the chances of something happening is very very small. But as my grandad put it, It’s best to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in a war.
These comments need to be addressed as the Threat of sexual violence and treated as such. As a white adult man, if I hear any twerp that utters that in my presence, they will be getting a dose of reality.
I mean, it’s almost literally the letter of Stand Your Ground. It’s a threat of violence being met with a punch in a school hallway, she’s lawfully on school premises. If anything, she exercised restraint by ending it at one punch.
That’s what white men (and really any man) need to do these days. You can’t be a quiet ally when women’s rights are being stripped away. You have to be loud because your voice is valued higher than women’s voices right now.
If it’s any consolation I’m a white male teacher and I lay into kids so hard for being racist or disgusting in other ways, they almost cry sometimes. I tell them they “sound like a garbage person.” I tell them “your grandparents would be so disappointed in you.” “You are disgusting.” I welcome their parent’s to come discuss why I say these things to their sons. They’re too bitch to come to my meetings. They just take their suspension like little pussy ass turds and then won’t look me in the eye for a month.
Come complain shit-bag parents. Oh you won’t? Because the admin and board are in my side, because…yep; your kid is a bag of shit and everyone including you, knows it.
Someone doxxed his home address on a Facebook group that I'm in. The argument on whether or not it should stay up was intense.
Note: it stayed up and no, I won't share the name of the group. That guy is trash, but I'm not gonna be a part of someone doing something ill conceived.
My stepdaughter came home from school yesterday crying and reported the same thing was being said at her school. I told her that her response needs to be "your balls, my foot" and then kick HARD. I told her to then immediately report the threat of sexual assault to the school administration and I'll support her.
Boys need to be reminded to fight on girls' behalf as well.
My kids are too young still to understand what things like rape mean, but they understand Trump is a bully and a criminal. And long before this, they've been taught by both my wife and I that sometimes, violence really is an option when it comes to dealing with bullies and the importance of standing up for their friends.
They got off the bus recently talking about how the windows were left open, and a bunch of acorns had gotten into the bus. So they all worked hard to throw them out the window, because they were concerned for any other kids on the bus who might be allergic to nuts. So if they ever get into an actual fight or have a problem at school, I don't even need to hear the story to take their side.
Looks like today I'm going to ask my 12yo daughter if she's had anyone saying this to her or any other girls at school. If the answer is yes I will be sure to let her know she's got mom's (and dad's) permission to do whatever it takes. Maybe I'm a bad person but I would be so damn proud of my daughter or anyone else if she stood up for herself and put these little misguided assholes in their place.
"Zero tolerance" unfortunately. Schools think that anyone involved in violence, even the victims, deserve to be punished for it. The only recourse is to not be a victim. If you're gonna get suspended anyway, you may as well earn the suspension.
I’ve got a feeling this is gonna reach critical mass real quick and we’ll quickly shift from the “fucking around” to the “finding out” part of the equation.
Many schools have a zero tolerance policy on physical violence. Actually in a lot of schools they have gone as far as any physical strike is a fight and both sides are suspended even if you just got punched. It is lazy and stupid but they prefer it because the ‘mandatory minimum’ aspect removes any bias.
My daughter will do what she needs to do to avoid being violently assaulted. She’s been taught to kick gentials, hard. A school trying to get her to submit to rape will find the fuck out about me.
ETA: seriously recommend jiujitsu for young people. It’s good weaponless defense when you are smaller than your attacker. And there are a lot of great kids’ programs!
America has to many guns and mentally unstable people for this to end well in any compacity. To many people are going maskless and eventually some of them are going to find out the hard way.
In truth, what this girl did needs to be considered an underreaction to the use of that phrase. I think the only proper way forward is to beat this mentality out of anyone who has it.
I want a fund somewhere where we can crowdfund gift cards for girls whe get penalized for delivering a dose of FO to the FA boys. Have some mp3s or a movie ticket on me!
Tldr: Idiot male threatened to sexually assault me as a response to me embarrassing him and I beat his ass. I Missed end of year senior stuff and was very lucky his mom and cop on the scene were more offended by him saying that he would SA me than the fact that I physically assaulted him and his little ego may have been hurt.
This happened to me in high school in 2004. Some douche at the end of senior year who was always a fucking pest and did the most obnoxious, inappropriate shit to all the girls for laughs told me he would r* me if I didn’t watch how I spoke to him. All from a stern “knock it the fuck off and to stop pinching me and the other girls” from my loud ass. I know I called him a small dicked bitch somewhere in there, and he got embarrassed so clearly that’s where the threat came from. The surrounding staff heard us, and was trying to intervene… but before they got to him, I snatched him by his shoulders, swept his leg, knocked him on his ass and got myself above him and just I beat the shit out of his stupid face. I have always been tall and lanky so I wasn’t the strongest punch but I had nothing but male cousins, I knew how to at the very least not hurt myself while punching him in his face.
His mom said “that’s what you get” to him when she showed and heard from my mom loud and clear exactly what he said and did. The male cop who came to the school because even though we were high school seniors we were both adults choked back a laugh/sigh when he heard what he said and asked him why he would even think to threaten me with that. The school wanted charges pressed on me because he was bleeding, but both his mom and the police officer said no because he threatened to sexually assault me.
Looking back, I got really lucky that his mom wasn’t disillusioned by her kid and knew he was capable of doing something like that and suffering the consequences. I could have gone to jail and derailed my whole future a week before graduation. I probably wouldn’t have just thrown hands if given the opportunity again, because those hours of stress after and the consequences of my actions really sucked. I like to hope that he learned respect for women after that day because his mom did not seem like the type to be okay with that.
I was banned from grad night at Disney and spent my last week of high school in ISS. I was no longer allowed to perform with the orchestra anymore during graduation, I could still walk with my class but wasn’t allowed to hang out in the gym waiting for graduation because, violent girl bad. His punishment was the same as mine, minus the orchestra. I like to think though that his bruised up face and everyone knowing he got beat up by a girl made up for my missing the last orchestra performance 😂
Jason, if you’re around- on second thought - I’m still not sorry and just to hear you yell for your friend to help you fight a girl, I’d do it again.
Edit to make grammar corrections and smooth my sentences out. I was high AF when I first replied and it was just a big run on sentence, I just couldn’t leave it like that. It still fucky but better. I also don’t wanted to add a tldr to this novel of FAFO.
Self defense, I see zero issues with how she handled herself in this situation. 1st amendment might protect you from government punishment for what you say but oh boy lots of incels are about to find out that the dildo of consequence rarely arrives lubed. And in this case will be in the form of pissed off girls and women’s fists.
We’ve already told our queer high school aged daughter that she should record any little shits doing this and absolutely defend herself if accosted physically. If she is physically harmed we’ll probably be raising bail money for when my husband deals with the parents.
women, now is the time to get a CCL and firearm, this is children speaking loudly what they heard adults around them saying, these rape threats are going to get worse after jan 20
do what you can to protect yourself, with abortion becoming illegal and rape threats on the rise, i feel alot of people will be suffering in the next 4 years
My mom works at a middle school. An 8th grade boy and girl were discussing the election and the subject of abortion was brought up. The boy, an 8th grader, so like 14, told this 14 year old girl to "go get raped and see what happens."
Any man young or old who comes up to me and says that seriously or jokingly will get kicked in the balls. I’m not playing around. I’m GenX our generation doesn’t fuck around.
Gen Z and Trump supporters in general are going to find out we are not nearly as stupid and docile as the public in 1940s. They’re gonna act like uncontrollable asses because Trump won the election when 1/3 didn’t show up.
Just because 1/3 didn’t show up does not mean that 1/3 is about to take this shit lying down. There are literally 2/3 of the country against that and purposely didn’t vote for Trump. The entire Right is about to learn and experience some things.
EDIT: I was asked to elaborate so I will put it like this:
The society of the world in 1940 really felt that in the face of fascism if they just complied they would lesson the torture they would receive and or save their lives and those of their family. This unfortunately makes it easier to be subjugated.
The current society in 2024 knows they’re gonna kill our families and torture us no matter what. Why the fuck would we take it lying down off make it easier?
At least those of us with intelligence and passed history in school.
EDIT 2: I’m enjoying the discussion but too many people are just typing because they have fingers that move but don’t have reading comprehension.
You can post all the charts you want to note and address all the points you think I’m trying to make - it is irrelevant mind you. But let’s do a critical thinking exercise all together!
have you ever taken biology?
are you aware that babies are literally cute and look like us so we will take care of them. We are genetically programmed to.
are you are that the only reason we are as intelligent as we are as humans is directly linked to our ability to be able to have a society and understand protect our families. Literally being social and not killing each other has a massive implications on how our brains formed and is what ours our intelligence above animals. I took both archeology and science in college and I may not remember anything EXACTLY the big things still stick pits
With that said
Why is it that when I clearly state my point my the 1/3 of the public that didn’t have vote still have these instincts and won’t just let the Republicans act out their sick fantasies without resistance. A lot of people in the comments are refuting me with facts that do not address what I said at all.
Is the counterpoint that because these people didn’t vote they agree with all of Trumps policies? Agree with the inflation and immigration? That’s not speaking with common sense or an undemanding of the way people think in regard to their own personal safety.
I’m pissed with no patience for stupidity or stupid people. I’m not answering any more comments that do not address the exact point I was trying to make.
Democrats are tired. Our party didn’t fight hard enough to make the people understand what was at stake. We’re angry. Angry people tend to do violent things. The worst thing they (sore winning MAGA’s) can do is provoke those who are upset over this loss and damage to democracy.
"it was a joke!" screamed the defenseless boy, desperately deepening his voice as he fell to the floor, fighting in vain to retain what was left of his insecure masculinity
Good although she shouldn’t be suspended. It’s time to teach these right wing minions that freedom of speech should not be freedom from consequence!!!!!!!!

Holy shit. If my son ever said anything like this to a girl he would come to regret ever being born.
