They don’t have consistent values at all. We keep interacting with them in terms of pointing out their hypocrisy or inconsistent messages, but they literally do not care about what they said yesterday. They are simple, linear minds who only work in terms of what they’re feeling right now and I think if we did better to treat them that way and remember we’re not winning intellectual arguments with them, we would make actual progress in changing them.
They scream about “free speech” when they feel their words are unpopular and being booed. They care about life and abortions when it’s not their daughter. They cheer on cops who shoot innocent black kids, but would go firebomb the local station if a cop came into their house and shot their dog.
We seriously, absolutely HAVE to digest this so we can collectively start forming new tactics to manipulate them into making better outcomes for all of us.
Because whatever else happens, even if we win back everything tomorrow, we will continue to share a world with them as our neighbors and the people who… who… okay I guess contractors and plumbers? Probably a few truck mechanics too, but point remains, they exist all around us, and if we’re really going to be better than them, we have to be like parents who subtle change the way a toddler feels without yelling at them and making them feel mad or put out.
Ah yes, the “pro-free speech” team.
They are pro-free-speech just like they are pro-constitution and pro-bible.
Only the parts they can use to justify doing whatever the fuck they want.
Don’t forget being pro-freedom and pro-American. Same exact thing. They don’t mean any of it. Not really.
See also - their outrage about “political correctness” and “identity politics”. They are 100% in favor of both, just their form of it.
FYI I edited my comment, but it does not detract for your point. I just feel bad editing wording after receiving a reply so I wanted to mention it.
