...and I am not talking about the election.
FP Edit: Friendly reminder to always attack the argument, never the person delivering it. Reasonable people can disagree. Be kind to your fellow humans.
Your life matters.
PS - send dark humor :-)

But Trump sets an example . The clown makes people laugh, let's VOTE HIM OUT.

If you're asking me not to be a dick to people who exude hate, write/promote laws with that hate, are responsible for deaths.. no ty.

I'm not sure this is how the internet works.

i will be so nice and polite to the people who send me death threats and fill my inbox with hate mail.

Sorry, buit if the person is too stupid for basic logic, there is no way not to attack his stupidity.

southpark used to be funny, now it's just kind of this sad commentary how money keeps people from growing. man babies making fart jokes

Surprised this has as many upvotes on this site.
LazorLord
Right? I've seen more negativity surrounding the election from Imgur than anywhere else.
MGRDylan
I feel like no matter who wins, both sides will still actively assault the other. No acceptance, just hate
thejeff80
Sadly, I agree.
Eturian
Of course, but voting for Trump at this point is clearly going to cause harm. Be careful with your vote. - Ex Republican

Point of order, I need to see some evidence that trump supporters are actually 'people' and not some test by our lizard overlords.

I can be friends and respectful of someone with different opinions about taxes. But denying human rights, supporting fascism, and denying (1

The dangers of a worldwide pandemic? No. We don't need to be respectful of the person there. Especially if they're making statements in(2

Bad faith, where they insist that they are entitled to their abhorrent beliefs but will say it's unacceptable for me to call them out (3
hroper452
Absolutely not. Stop gaslighting. It's not 'being mean' to stand up to hate. People being more offended by manners than racists caused this.

Fuck everyone in his death cult

My fear is we will soon have a generation of Americans that think it's acceptable to be assholes to members of other political parties.

This. Take your loss in stride, whomever that ends up being.

Ask him nicely.

After the election in 2016 i made sure to be super sexist to my mom when she voted for trump.
iamspartan1262
I mean one side wants democracy and basic human rights, the other side has literal Nazis and the klan. I think the side with the Nazis
thejeff80
That type of thought process undermines the terrors that actual Nazis wrought. Btw, I prefer a Republic to a Democracy.
iamspartan1262
Can go fuck themselves in every shape and form.
HalloIamherenow
To quote Billy Butcher's life lessons, "Don't be a cunt"
Callynd
Too bad he can't be bothered to follow it.
HalloIamherenow
Tbf he's a product of the ultimate cunt ruining his life. Ryan still has a chance to be a good person though
Callynd
I've only read the books, so maybe. But book Butcher is one of the worst people in the series. Yeah, he's damaged but no one made him do it.
itscoldhere8monthsoftheyear
Nice message, wrong meme. This is Captain Hindsight. So, you repost this a week after the election when everyone is already being mean.
ViktorKrumm
Memes are in the eyes of the beholder
InhumanDookieCannon
I think you mean "already shooting at each other"
PoorSucker
It's about the 2016 election
nangke
Hmm, calling it now: we won't have a definitive answer on the week of the election. (Hah, autocorrect wanted the word "ejection." Saaame)
EroticZombiePants
That's already to be expected due to variant mail-in voter laws.
thejeff80
My plan was for this to still be going strong by then ;-) And I am pretty sure I screw up 80% of the memes I post. Old fart here.
Lurkernomore86
I mean, people still aren't listening to it now, so maybe it is the right meme.
nclu
TonguePunchDeBumSon
This is the correct use for this meme
thejeff80
Lol ouch. Point taken :-)
EroticZombiePants
No, it fits. We've been spewing hate at each other for Trump's entire presidency.
itscoldhere8monthsoftheyear
Do you not remember the Obama years and the Tea Party?
EroticZombiePants
It wasn't quite like now, but yeah, we can extend that for pretty much our nation's history.
itscoldhere8monthsoftheyear
No, back then the police and Justice Dept went after all violence, not just the kind they like.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
I won't be a dick to people who don't actively support destroying my and my friends rights and existence.
GoldenRamoth
tbh, that personal choice is in the voting. One is a party against equal rights of Americans, and the other is for them. Seems easy enough.
thejeff80
Maybe more accurately: one is for “Equality of Outcome”, and one is for “Equality of Opportunism”.
GoldenRamoth
That's the racial one. The Sexuality one is the anti-equal rights movement. I got my downvotes, sure. But - wanting to overturn gay marriage
thejeff80
Sorry, can you explain what you mean by “that’s the racial one”?
GoldenRamoth
BLM. Black opportunity vs White Racism. LGBT Rights is literally one party being against equal rights and the other for it.
thejeff80
Nobody does, unless you are a fetus ;-) Seriously though, prime example of how we demonize others. Nobody feels that way about you :-)
D6016
that's a lie, i get hate mail for existing. i try to mind my own business but people wont leave me alone.
thejeff80
You get hate ma for existing? Can you please elaborate?

kickjazzthechodewrangler
Spineless people who want to feel all good about themselves say stuff like this. I am a dick to racist assholes every chance i get.
thejeff80
That’s your plan for positive change?
kickjazzthechodewrangler
Imagine if it was a hippies responsibility to fight nazis.
EroticZombiePants
All attempts at reason for decades now hasn't worked. Bullies have never stopped bullying when asked nicely to stop.
thejeff80
In person, sure. To the humans behind the internet nobodies, though, there is nothing more diffusing than kindness.
Sasarious
If a bat to the face doesn't change their racist views thats not my problem.
thejeff80
At least draw a smiley face on the bat. T’sall I’m asking...
iamspartan1262
A tolerant society can not tolerate the intolerant because it is the work of intolerance to eradicate tolerance wherever it may exist.
GeneralWho
Uh, yeah...? Bad people don't stop doing things because you're nice to them; they stop doing things when they hit consequences. Same concept
thejeff80
Nobody on the internet is gonna change either way, so at least be kind :-)
kickjazzthechodewrangler
No, let them know there actions are not to be tolerated. What the fuck kinda person are you?
thejeff80
Example: I am a reasonable person, and your language towards me makes me WANT to disagree with you. How so you think an actual asshole will-
GeneralWho
as Boundaries - people won't know or respect your boundaries until you enforce them and stick to them. Some racist guy doesn't stop being
GeneralWho
racist because I smile nervously and try to change the subject. "Fuck, man, that's fuckin' racist" is where we start and go from there.
GeneralWho
It's possible to push back without being a dick. But "being nice" to an anti-masker when I have immunocompromised family and they refuse to
SmugandFurry
Asking them nicely to not be racist assholes sure hasn't done the trick...
thejeff80
Have you ever taken the time to get to know a racist asshole?
kickjazzthechodewrangler
Yep, raised by them. And i have turned or forsaken everyone of them.
SmugandFurry
Definitely. Raised by them in an area full of them. It's not like an Afterschool Special, or an episode of Highway to Heaven.
Vanilla3000
It is a personal choice right now that a lot of people on one side or the other unfortunately consciously make.
GoldenRamoth
tbh, that personal choice is in the voting. One is a party against equal rights of Americans, and the other is for them. Seems easy enough.
Vanilla3000
Also, your simplification of the voting issues is wrong.
iamspartan1262
One party seems to want basic human rights, the other is supported by literal Nazis and the Klan.
Vanilla3000
No. Stop confusing the issue. What is being talked about is how you treat those who don't hold the same ideas as you. Read the description.

I also see that there same 10 dvs that usually hit me once I call bullshit. Its one or two w/ multiple accounts.
thejeff80
Is there a way that you can see who dvs? Gosh I hope not. I am neurotic enough as it is ?
wannabecowboy
Thanks Vanilla3k
thejeff80
Maybe more accurately: “Equality of Outcome” vs “Equality of Opportunity”
wannabecowboy
That feels accurate. If that’s the case, Jordan Peterson made an argument for why enforcing equality of outcome is bad for a society.
CrisprCAS
The GOP wants everyone to have an equally bad outcome, while the Dems support equal opportunity to vote out the orange fuckface.
Vanilla3000
Wrong.
kickmyballsrealhard
Like this personal choice?

I defend natural selection and freedom of speech in that order
sazzy123jazzy
That'd be a reasonable criticism- That is, if he was sick.
blaghart
He is sick. Prove he isn't, we have the means to do so.
sazzy123jazzy
Are you just going to jump to conclusions like that? I'm sure you'd hate it if somebody assumed you had rabies because they didn't like you.
blaghart
It's an easy enough test to take, if he wants to walk around trying to spread the disease he should prove he doesn't have it, or its a crime
sazzy123jazzy
Look, it's as simple as this; if you're claiming he's sick, the burden of proof lies with you, not me. You can't prosecute for that.
blaghart
I do so love hoe you right wing fuckwits who complain about "too much politics" because people criticize criminals always pretend it's
blaghart
"because we disagree". Just because YOU automatically assume everyone you disagree with is evil doesn't mean sane people do so.
grahmit12
I'm not going to be friends with Nazis, nor will I treat Nazis with any respect.
thejeff80
Have you ever had an actual altercation with an actual Nazi?
gaarashatan0360
ive had altercations with a trumper
thejeff80
Ok.
grahmit12
Yes, I have.
thejeff80
Please tell me about it. Genuinely interested.
grahmit12
I spent several years living in Europe. Anti-immigrant protesters wearing swastikas, runes, and the Nazi salute.
thejeff80
That’s awful. Where? (Professional curiosity; I teach history)
