    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…

            No one has pointed out how stupid your specific post is because the entire internet has spent the past week pointing out how the Olympics opening ceremony had absolutely nothing to do with jesus. If you are choosing to ignore facts so that you can maintain your dumbass persecution complex, then there’s no reason for us to keep pointing it out to you. Instead we’re just going to mock your stupidity.

                Yeah, it’s clear that you’re more interested in finding something to mad about than you are in the truth.

                It wasn’t so much “we’re sorry for being wrong” as it was “we’re sorry we assumed there weren’t as many dumbass goons who are looking for a reason to be offended.”

                You’re a goddamn snowflake.

            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.

                  With goals like that, I’m really not sure what you hope to accomplish. Even by not engaging with the topic, you still engage with him. Your stance doesn’t matter. On the black and white forum of lemmy, simply by replying, you’re disagreeing. Lines have been drawn and nothing said will do any good or change anyones mind on anything. You are still engaging in the culture war.

                  Let the mods clean it up if he goes too far.

                  I still think you’re both weird

                    Thats one perspective, sure, and I am weird but I’m pretty ok with that. But anyway, I don’t think prohibition works for ideas and people that act like this tend to not be very happy people. It is worth checking in sometimes.

            When the answer to your over caffeinated skreed of internal misunderstandings is ‘you clearly don’t understand what’s going on, this is what’s going on’, then you don’t register that as an answer?

            Here answer my question first, why are you the man named Jeffery S. McMillan, so in love with Susan Thorton (22f apprentice cobbler) that your willing to move to Amsterdam on the future date of May 5, 2024? Explain yourself!
