Because the conservative party in the UK, much like the republican party in the US, knows that because of shifting demographics and because it has no real plan to address real problems they know they wont be able deny the existance of any longer, is about to start losing election after election. Instead of coming with actual plans and attempting to do anything with their power other than looting your pockets, they’ve decided to resort to the most basic and fascistic scapegoating by pandering to our tribalistic instincts. They just point to another group and blame them for all the problems they had a hand in creating.

“It’s not our fault, it’s those dirty _____!”

-liberals
-blacks
-immigrants
-gays
-jews
-trans people
-atheists
-muslims
-indians
-women

(Pick one, or create your own scapegoat)

What kills me is that this is a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. The longer they fight against change, the more people they will convince that capitalism itself is the problem.

I humbly suggest Oop and Op. Pronounced as words. Like loop and top.

To give you the benefit of the doubt, I think your hearts in the right place with this comment. But i want to respond to it because it does bring up a common sentiment that bugs the hell out of me.

I don’t really buy the provider part of this sentiment and even if instinct played a role here, it doesn’t excuse ape-like behavior. You might be wired to notice wide hips and smooth skin, but continuing to stare at or lust after a girl after you realize she’s 16 years old still makes you a creep.

We are men, not ignorant monkeys controlled by our instincts and I find it insulting when someone tries to excuse ape behavior with this kind of reasoning. We’re still 100% accountable for our actions.

It’ll be a blowout as long as you motherfuckers show up to vote against him and any other republicans on your ticket

I mean I understand the anger. I think every atheist deals with it at some point. But you gotta move on and let that shit go. I’m getting old now and it’s just tiresome. I’m not interested in tribal BS. I’m interested in chatting with folks who see the world through the same lens I do without that shitty sense of superiority so many atheists seem to have.

Gotta boost Beau.

Fair enough, I’ll try to tone it down in the future.

Disunity will lose us this election. We don’t have the luxury of being picky about our candidates here. The alternative to Biden is fascism, full stop. Anyone who presents themselves as opposed to Christian fascism but continues to oppose Biden (especially with factual inaccuracies) tends to make me doubt their honesty, or their intelligence. And it should make everyone here suspicious as well.

Are you really this myopic or are you just some fascist sockpuppet?

How is this sad, exactly?

I’ve never liked r/atheism because it just felt like it was mostly populated by teenaged edgelords that treated atheism like a subculture they were into at the moment. Pizza-cutter atheists, all edge and no point.
Everyone else was butthurt and chronically angry. I’d like to see more activism, more community building, more maturity. Less butthurt.

Not sure about an exact part number, but that’s an IDC connector. Here’s a half-assed search result o hopefully get you started. Finding exactly what you need is probably going to be annoying. Good luck.

If he thought the building was unimportant enough that writing his dumbass name on it was nbd, what the fuck was doing wasting his time there in the first place? Why did he think all the other tourists were there?

This is good news, but I worry that folks on the left might be lulled into a false sense of security. We won’t be done fixing Trump and MAGA’s mess for years to come and we’ll need every last vote and any help that can be given. I really believe complacency got us here and it will destroy this country if we let it.

I bought one of these pizzas. I wanted to try some place I hadn’t before. It might as well have been “pizza” from a poorly funded school lunch. It was bad enough that I got curious about “CEC Entertainment” that was on the fine print of the box. Motherfuckers got me…

Fucking nazis…

I love this picture because I imagine he just farted and is enjoying the hell out of the odor.

Oh it gets dumber. In order to view other websites, in Virginia they want you to allow access to your webcam so that an unknown third party can determine if you look to be over 18.

I didnt say it was racist. I said it could come off (i.e. perceived) as racist. Mainly due to cracks stereotypical association with poor African Americans. But I think you knew that.

Ron DeSantis is a fascist. To hell with your reasonable discussion.
