Or they laughed and went back to lying and spreading disinformation because they profit from doing so....
People keep expecting ethics and morality when these people run on monetary goals.
They know they are lying, they know they are hypocritical, they know they use false equivalences, they know their words dont matter, they know they are spreading disinformation, and arguing against provable facts they themselves already know and agree with,
but they will continue to smile while emptying the pockets of dumbasses who believe them.
I angered a British fascist (who I thought was no longer a fascist), and he went magat! I think he was just trying to provoke me, though. I hope so, because the very idea of a British magat is insane. He's probably reading this, too :/
I'd guess a combination of Internet "research", watching GB News (as appropriately named as Fox News), and daily mail/sun consumption, coupled with a desire to belong to something, whilst wanting the decline in living standards and ridiculous house prices to end.
Iām British/American. It came as a shock to me that there are indeed British magats. They have red Mega hats. Donāt know if they are astroturfed or not but they had a march in central London protesting a jailbird who they like a lot couple of weeks ago.
Iām in a Facebook group for Brits in the USA and there are a number of Trump worshippers among them.
I've met Qultists here in Englandš¤¦āāļø. I used to want to visit America when I was younger because there's so much wilderness left, but I'd hate to live there. Especially now.
Oh donāt worry there wonāt be much wilderness left. I donāt know if the national park service who do fire maintenance etc are back working yet. Courts are in flux. But between wildfires, and talks about development on federal land, it might be gone soon.
I've been thinking about this. Maybe it's an angle worth pushing. "Tourists are money!". Brits have been using that one as an excuse for keeping royalty around for so long that the Sex Pistols took the piss out of monarchy apologists for it, but it still works now and is at least as applicable to America's national parks. They can't drain the country of money if it doesn't have any left.
You know it. I imagine their thought process went straight to "that's different!" They are so good at, and fond of, false equivalences they fundamentally cannot see a valid comparison when it's right in front of them.
They only see life through their personal lenses, they'd follow up by saying it was whites that are being oppressed. I've had this debate so many times.
One specific time I was asked why black people don't just give up their grievances about slavery so society can finally move on, I asked how come they didn't just stop critizing black people for being aggrieved instead, without missing a beat their reply was "it's my first amendment right".
So yeah, they're blind as a bat from self entitlement.
Amongst everything else, they don't understand burden; they're so certain x group or person should be the one to do or not do something, they hit a mental error 404 when you ask them why it has to be x person and not y person. I have seen the brain fart in realtime when rape has come up in discussion and they victim-blame; when they're asked "um, well why didn't the rapist just not, ya know, rape the victim?" you get the textual equivalent of a blank stare and they just circle back around to "what was she wearing tho?" because their thinking begins and ends with their pre-loaded talking points and catchphrases.
"Because there's no video showing what that unarmed Black person was doing in the five hours before they were shot in the back by a cop, I can only assume it was justified." /S
My favorite aunt married someone like this. I realized he was parroting Fox News but when I was like 12 years old. The economy is crashing, and he's giddy that Disney toned down promotion for live action Snow White.
Someone who doesn't understand burden.
āBlack people have never faced the level of violence and discrimination that a modern day Tesla does! Why no, I have never lived outside of a gated community or had any close black friends, but why would that matter?ā
