The Insane "Social Justice" Thread II

[KG1]

When I see the things that conservatives are resistant to today, I think of the way society is beginning to shift more towards the "anything goes", "if it feels good do it" attitude. Religious views aside (I'm not terribly religious, but Sodom and Gomorrah comes to mind), look at what was going on in the Roman Empire before the fall... People tend to speak of biblical references as "myth", but not many dispute the history of Rome. Hedonism was rampant. Orgies were common (they don't call them "Roman orgies" for nothing.) There was a steady movement towards "anything goes". That's what concerns me about how I see the direction our society is moving. Some call it "inclusiveness" while others call it "perversion". I tend toward the latter. Sorry, just random thoughts that occur to me...

I believe you are correct in your assessment that Conservatives want to preserve traditions for the most part against the “anything goes” faction of society.

I don’t think the abortion bills are a societal shift. I think that now that SCOTUS has 5 “conservative” (don’t laugh yet) justices, and potentially one more if they find RGB’s carcass before Trump is impeached, states are passing laws for the purpose of having the court re-decide R v W. The states which passed that law haven’t changed much at all. If they thought they had 5 SCOTUS justices 20 years ago, they’d have written the same laws then. They’re daring people to sue them. Also, I think it’s also a bit of a reaction to Virginia and some of the pro abortion state legislation.

"Because we actually like other humans"

No, she doesn't. She only likes the other humans who live in the same bubble that she does. She obviously does not like people who are ideologically different from her. And the same could be said of rural people, although, depending on the region and culture, rural people are typically way more friendly. But they tend to to care much for people who are ideologically different. This is a human thing, not a urban/rural thing. She thinks she likes people in the city. I'll bet not all.

"Rural areas aren't safe for anyone other than straight white people"

It's no safer for a straight white person, say, in inner city, than it is for a non-white or gay person to live in rural areas. That's not to say a person's immutable characteristics should put them in any greater peril, or depending on region. But, she's trying to make a point that's not evident, which is that rural people are more racist than urban people are.

I think it's likely that she considers anyone who doesn't agree with her 100% to by non-human or sub-human.

I'd like to see everyone's definition of "true conservative". Given your position on some issues, I kinda suspect that your definition would likely be outside a standard deviation from the mean.

That can vary greatly with what it is that any given "conservative" means to conserve.

That is a pretty good indicator that it is time to tell those in government that there is no place for them.

AOC says growing cauliflower is 'colonial' as she insists community gardens central to her Green New Deal should be used to grow 'culturally significant' plants like yucca

Wait... now we are SUPPOSED to culturally appropriate?

Wasn't it enough to culturally appropriate cauliflower in the first place?

How do you even eat yucca?

I never knew yucca was a suppository.

She could have at least said agave... at least it has a legitimate use. We have a bunch of yucca in our yard. I don't see the point to them personally. But they are pointy, so I won't be shoving them up my butt with or without AOC.

We get it. Cauliflower is white.
