This is what happens when you get the gender identity ideology bullshit people running countries, others get pissed and then “radicalized”.

Downvote as much as you can but note that society won’t function in the basis of people identifying as apache helicopters, “they/them”, replacing “mother” by “person giving birth”, a complete social division caused by everyone identifying as some minority group, drag queens dancing for children in schools and stuff like what happened in the olympic games.

One can’t offend an Islamist foreigner with a light joke about his religion but then the organization of an event financed by most of the world can force some Brazilian surfer to remove a picture of jesus from his board* because it is a religious symbol while the same fucks decide to create an opening ceremony that is essentially a satire against the same religion? lol

* Note that the picture of Jesus in question is not only a religious thing but also an important cultural landmark of Brazil even for non religious people.

How considerate, consistent and mentally stable those people are. lol

Are you ok?

I am, but the IOC people aren’t for sure. Why would you choose a minority like that doing a performance like that one for the “ceremony”? Since when does it represent anyone besides the said minority? Why would you allow a minority to mock an entire religion that for better or worse is the largest religion in Europe? Makes no sense whatsoever.

Bottom line is: those in power keep pushing these bullshits and then regular, normal people otherwise tolerant and open to minorities and different ideas start to be radicalized - after all everyone has a limit on mockery against their culture.

Why do you care so much? It’s not normal, my man. Are you getting out enough? This isn’t healthy.

Because… nobody can say “we’ve lost people” while voting for people who push this kind of bullshit that will then “radicalize” the same people they’ll say that are lost.

Your comments are pretty weird dude, you might want to do some self reflection. This kind of attitude takes a lot of effort and drives people away. You could be doing something better for you right now.

Yet nobody provided an explanation / answer to my question above. Maybe I’m the only one actually doing some self reflection there…

Just consider it, sometimes it’s better to go out then stew in this. Why are you being so aggressive towards strangers? That’s not normal, my friend.

Nothing about either of your positions are “normal” the ultra rich are fueling a culture war, and the internet trogoldyte laps that shit up.

The rise of trans ideology making its way into the mainstream directly links with the occupy wallstreet movement and gay marriage legalization.

The ultra-rich have created a boogeyman, to distract and divide us, and now you all sit around defending or attacking it.

The average person does not spend their day mass posting on Lemmy and then arguing about gender in the comments.

Pointless.

You’re both useful idiots in this culture war though. You’ve both turned non-issues into hills to die on. And like the other guy said, little by little radicalized “normal” people into picking a side and making it a key part of your personality.

Weirdos.

Oh no, I agree with you. That’s why I asked if he was OK and didnt engage with the arguments. I never stated my position, you seem to misunderstand. I was simply asking why this person cared so much, because it is a boogeyman and I don’t want to see this shit. It’s annoying and weird. What trans people do is none of my business.
