Usually. But if the premise is particularly stupid I might choose to prompt the speaker to actually think about what they’ve said for a moment.

Or you could just read any of the numerous other comments here which offer other explanations.

Do you seriously need someone to explain to you why there are multiple words with similar meanings in the world?

It shouldn’t take a PhD to understand that openly hating a huge portion of the working class isn’t going to make you popular with them.

Hear me out:

Maybe everything isn’t some conspiracy to hate others.

Well they’re the only ones that matter, after all.

I went into one of their “churches” once to ask what they were about, and they literally would not tell me anything unless I either bought a book or stayed there to watch a video along with them.

I had a friend who was absolutely determined to never work for anyone else, and so he taught himself how to make wire-wrap jewellery to sell. It’s far from an easy thing to do, as he was incredibly motivated and spent most of his time working on it, but if you really do want to, there are ways that a person can support themselves through their own direct actions.

And yes, I second others that suggest you really should spend less time on social media.

I’m talking about how the united states would gather AMERICAN CITIZENS who have comitted no crimes whatsoever, send them to camps, and have them mass killed

User name checks out.

That’s fair.

Because society is so terrified of the technologies we have created that it has adopted the ideal that everything needs to be perfect right here and now, and so any deviation from acting out that Utopian fantasy is met harshly, even though it’s obviously not true to any rational person.

You have to be a little bit smarter than just taking isolated phrases on their own, if you want to actually explore the how and the why of the function of an entire society.

instead of trying to turn everything in life into a “gottcha” moment

Perhaps, instead of trying to turn everything in life into a “gottcha” moment, an honest person could recognize that such a saying speaks to how violence should be a last resort, while still maintaining a sober recognition that we live in a world where there are many others who may not respect our opinions on the matter, and therefore we should remain prepared to confront the eventuality of conflicts arising with such people.

Many of us heard it back in 2016, but the media ran a smear campaign when we attempted to identify that we were life long liberals who could no longer support this sort of insanity, by tying the term “alt-right” to actual Nazis.

But they even used the name “Conservative Party” so we can mentally connect this insanity to our own local conservatives in between bong hits, comfortably assured of our biases.

Toootally not a cult.

Anyways, lets share tips on getting rid of our families!

Not at all. I just stuck to much simpler, and less enjoyable/healthy, meals most of the time.

During the lockdowns I learned to cook for myself, and now I eat better, cheaper.

Have you not been paying attention to practically every progressive issue in the last decade? Pretty sure the people actually making decisions about what gets promoted on social media aren’t your friends.

This is a GREAT idea!
