Respectfully mention that it’s kinda insensitive, kinda like, “hey man, don’t you think that’s kinda insensitive?” and you’ll probably figure out fairly quickly which one is the answer. Additionally, if they legit don’t know why it’s insensitive, then you can educate them!

Just remember that tone can be difficult to convey on the internet, and sometimes you have to exaggerate the intended tone for it to be understood. Additionally, in my experience, asking the question from the other person’s perspective (“don’t you think that’s kinda insensitive” vs “I think that’s kinda insensitive”) seems to help a lot.

How about just deal with it? Internet is meant to be free space, that includes racists, bigots, rednecks, people you disagree with.

Lemmy is worried about 1984 but in actuality is becoming Fahrenheit 451.

Hey, leave rednecks out of it, the real ones mostly whant to be left alone and the more political ones are just syndicalist and pro workers rights. The nazi ones are city dwellers that own small dick energy trucks.

Man I know lots of small town rednecks and none of them are pro workers rights.

They’ve all been fooled into believing trickle down economics and at least half are anti vaxxers and while most aren’t vocal about LGBT stuff they all roll their eyes and wouldn’t give a shit if trans people were crucified. Oh and they all have oversized trucks just like every redneck does.

I don’t know where this idea of good rednecks comes from, there’s plenty of good people but they aren’t rednecks.

Well fuck them i guess. Might as well label every single person that lives in rural areas your enemy if you are gonna generalize that much.
