Am I the only liberal around here who doesn’t get offended and butthurt over everything?


Seems like we’re getting a bad reputation as people who can’t handle a disagreement or mature discussion about whatever views we have. It’s a lil frustrating because I for one can respect opposing opinions and realize that just because I think a certain way doesn’t mean everyone else does or even should. Like have ppl ever thought maybe there are some things out there that aren’t as black and white as we try to make them out to be. Or that maybe not one sole person or social/political group has everything figured and is always right. Hell maybe we’re all wrong. Maybe we’re only human and can’t take complex issues, or broad ideas and put it all into one little box and label it “Right” and just throw away anything that dare challenges our own logic into the trash and not even consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe everyone’s opinion matters…. Or maybe none of our opinions matter. Either way I support everyone’s rights as fellow humans to an opinion and wish more people would. Just saying

From experience the political right and yes conservatives and liberals are considered right wing (apparently everywhere but the US) are butthurt over anything. I mean look at all the conservatives shooting beer cans, thrashing pride merch at stores, sending bomb threats to hospitals that offer trans healthcare, ....

The whole cultur war is about being butthurt about how much they dislike and are unable to deal with cultural changes.
As a real leftists I am accused of being butthurt when I react to people defending insane education and healthcare costs, when I am rebutting the groomer narrative or when I am bringing up real stats on gender affirming care (no kids don't get surgery), ....

@Thinkerbell my initial response still stands and your inabillity to understand Marx in historic context and general lack of thought makes you a worthless person to debate

Yes, yes, Gloomy, I know... only a political genius like you can ever hope
to understand Marx in his true historical context. 🤭 😂 🤣

@Gloomy You're sounding a little butthurt there.
I would say i am a right leaning centrist but i appreciate this post. Most liberals see my trolly fascade and jump down my throat like i am satan or something but i really do want to have open and honest discussion. Its a good thing for people with opposing views to communicate how they see certain things. Looking at something with one perspective only makes it impossible to see the full picture if we are ever going to clean up the corruption plaguing the world, we need each other.. i don't understand why it is so difficult for some people to grasp that concept, or why they seem to all feel the need to insult each other all the time. I try to keep things civil the best i can but i'm not here to tolerate anyone's B.S. either. I sincerely am looking forward to discussions with you. You seem like one of the good ones.
@Spectra aaaayep. Some people need therapy.. bad.
And they are always the first ones to tell everyone else that they need professional help.. i just don't get it..

@Emosaur lmaoooo butthuuuurt
Secretgal · 22-25, F
@Emosaur totally missed the point of this post smacked ass
In my experience the people who get offended by everything on a nearly weekly basis are right wingers to the point of virtue signalling by destroying their own possessions online to show how hurt their feelings are.

It is fun to debate a point with arguments that are supported by evidence.
That doesn’t happen here.
The worst part is when someone does get their feelings hurt not because you insulted them but because they couldn’t support their argument with facts.
Then the stalking begins and i apply my block.

The problem with most social political groups is that they play off of peoples ideals and emotions with very little follow through towards the actual ideal they claim to represent…

Instead it’s about the attempt to seize power and control..and the discourse of people not being able to handle discussions usually comes from pointing these stark contrasts out, and people feeling so glued to the hip and connected to the party’s they vote for that extreme reactions take place instead of observant thoughtful ones..

Everything is sadly pretty much a circle jerk these days.. we have to stay within one lane of the aisle.. split on either one side or the other.. objectivity has been forgone.. I know of too many people who considered themselves as center who are constantly being told that they are right wing extremist when they simply do the whole observant objectivity path.. and they are told they don’t align with the values of liberalism at when they initially felt they were always centrists who leaned more left or more liberally..

It just goes to show the world has become more bizarre..
AuRevoir · 36-40, M
@Emosaur You're choosing to stay blind to too many things, there's no point in talking to someone like you... So even though there's tons of disturbing evidence, such as teachers.

Climate change is obviously real but the solutions aren't what the politicians propose. Climate change is happening because of massive deforestation that occurs on our planet because greenery is what balances out C02 emissions... Places like California that have pretty much extremely preventable wildfires, via we live in an age of science and technology... Like maybe using water and engineering to keep the land greener. What have politicians done in California? They've closed down dams........ Shut them down, for no good reason. Like literally give a reason off the top of your head, that has a scientific purpose to close down completely useful dams and destroy them from being used? Feats of marvelous engineering born through science... Do you see the corruption yet? A solution would be to build more dams not lose the ones you already have...

And what do they do with some of the remaining dams... They dump the water........... Back into the ocean... This is reality... This is corrupt politicians. I don't blame any liberal person, or leftist, or atheist, or someone against me for having different ideals. It's understandable to have an ideal. But when you know there is blatant corruption going on, after being informed, and no longer being ignorant to the actual facts... That's when I have a problem with someone then.

So they tell you to be concerned because the oceans water level might rise... if ice caps melt etc, etc, because of climate change... Let's not forget the marketing lies they've used in the past. It used to be called global warming but when they couldn't prove that was factual. They had to change it to climate change because scientists and the masses called them out on their bullshit where other parts of the world were getting colder. So their new thing was to refer to it as climate change instead of a universal "Warming" procedure happening.

I do believe climate change exists but it's not from your average person. It's from corrupt people in high places who know obviously how the world works, that don't actually care about the environment, but know that people such as yourself do. You are then the perfect target to be manipulated by them. These same people were part of Australia's huge wildfire fiasco during the year of covid. You remember all that?

Do they want our environment to actually change for the better? Do they themselves have bleeding hearts of philanthropy where they plan on changing laws such as making it illegal to shut down dams or to waste water by dumping it back into the ocean? Making the cost of water higher, claiming there are droughts when in actuality they're just wasting all the water themselves by dumping it? Instead of using it for proper purposes.

Their solution is instead the same as it always has been... You do realize all these governments have been getting money and imposing a whole slew of various taxes for over fifty years concerning things like climate change? An easily solvable solution. Remember Michelle Obama's thing? The whole promoting gardening thing? That's an actual effect that would change it. Promote people to garden more. More greenery, more plants. Equates to less C02. As all plant life, (including weeds) produce oxygen. Yes weeds produce allergens alongside the oxygen, but they key is oxygen in the environment vs. c02 emissions in the air. So if you haven't taken up gardening and even if your living situation is small. I'd suggest potted plants. Even cacti if you're truly concerned about climate change. Plants are cheap. Especially when governments spend trillions of dollars. (Where the money goes unaccounted for and missing... Again obvious corruption and money laundering) All of it is fixable, but they'll simply try to rile your emotions up. Smile at you. Hold out their hand and say "You should pay more taxes cuz it's such a tragedy right?" They think they're perfect conmen because so many people vote for them and don't see it... While others they hate for recognizing the snake oil they're selling.

The biggest joke is they've now begun to tell people that growing rice, a plant, is bad for the environment and that everyone should eat bugs... Even though rice will produce oxygen, while bugs will produce co2 even if it's on a smaller scale.................... The world simply needs more trees. Any tree taken down should be replaced. More people should gain good habits related to growing crops or plants. the simplest, easiest, and most beneficial (Organic produce) are obviously the best... But no... Let them create a dystopian future where everyone is eating bugs instead... I seriously don't understand how anyone can believe half the crap they spew out of their mouths...

I'm pretty sure people have a problem with anyone doing anything to kids. You're just upset that you have no follow through... Instead of using your brain to think, "Hey what's this banner that's been being used, that was shutting down everyone for the last few years, and getting them cancelled etc. etc. That had almost complete diplomatic immunity no matter the context? Oh yes, that lgbtq+ flag... With extra emphasis on the TQ+... They were so immune that no way could that incite groups of weirdos from around the world, to hide under the same banner as them, and infiltrate it... Why would that sound like a good idea at all for the pedophiles around the world?" You're going to make a blanket statement of "It's not happening and even if it is happening it doesn't matter because it's happened over here before too.. and if people had a problem with it then they should have............" Like dude, the difference of it happening by individuals, and them getting caught and them getting arrested was resolved through those arrests, and if you don't think a paradigm shift didn't happen with repercussions in all kinds of ways through media and their reputation then you're dead wrong.

The difference is they're force feeding it by placing it in schools everywhere, videos of teachers telling children not to be mean to pedophiles just because they're attracted to minors like wtf? Why should any pedophile have immunity and be treated with any semblance of kindness? And most of all why should a teacher be trying to teach this kind of behavior to children in the first place? Leave Kids Alone. They don't need anyone shoving anything sexual down their throats. they don't need disturbing suits made for them by satanist to be popping up in a Target store where people are just trying to do their shopping. The major difference is it happening EVERYWHERE in our society, whereas you're giving open and shut isolated cases happening within a church...

Pedophilia or sexual assault of any kind is not limited to any one group over all the years earth has been around. People have always done evil deeds. But now they're trying to indoctrinate children into it. Because if they can convince kids that "Hey look they were able to make these life altering decisions about changing their sex as a child then surely they have the mental capacity to be able to consent to sex righhhttt??" Which is there blatant and obvious goal with all that they are doing.

The funny thing is even if you hated on conservatives or thought their rhetoric was so out there that you called them left wing and were part of the crowd that had online arguments with them in the past calling them transphobe or conspiracy theorists... "They're never going to come after your kids! You're all just transphobic" You would now have to eat your own words, because now it's being blatantly done in the school system which should be for learning math, history, written language, and science... But instead the conspiracy prophets as they should be named. With zero trans phobia as it wasn't a false fear but an actual concern of theirs that has come to pass and taken place in society. They have the literal moral high ground because of it. While people who CONTINUE to try and gaslight their very real concerns are the real problem, with everything that is going on in our world.

And are you going to take an objective stance and talk about all the detransition victims who feel sick, disgusted, mortified and taken advantage of? Or are you going to show complete bias in these cases? Or just choose to remain ignorant and blind to all the actual facts of both sides and weigh them out? Because a lot of people have been ruined for life. Because of these sick fucks willing to mutilate body parts off of people for a quick paycheck from an insurance company with little to no care at all for the actual victim who then has to live with what they have done to them for the rest of their lives.

Anyone who's actually trans, should be in an uproar over what is being done to children. Many are mortified over it. And you should be too. If you're so far gone that you can't see the corruption that is happening then that's on you.

These are not the rights people fought for... Their own autonomy for their own relationships and to be seen as simply a human being...

[media=https://youtu.be/re9-w2XHIoI]

I do not believe for an instant that there would even be so many under that banner in the trans community if it weren't for the fact they have been able to use it as a super shield.

[media=https://youtu.be/ezOKOovo-ok]

The left side is not accepting of scientific facts, they've literally become against because it offends most of them. They can't accept that there's a difference between men and women via biology. Maybe if you were making your argument for people on the left 15 years ago that might apply. But there's plenty of video evidence showing people on the left screaming at scientists for answering basic biological queries into their being a difference between men and women. Like a lesbian isn't going to see a man that's transitioned and think "Oh i'm totally going to go after that." because she's a lesbian just like a straight guy is straight and wouldn't want anything to do with them either. But they've gone so crazy with attempting to convince the world of the lie that they're a real woman/man from their transition instead of the truth that they are a trans woman/man and that the trans part is key to that. Ironically they're fully aware of how trans they are when it comes to calling someone a transphobe... To fight for some ridiculous thing concerning them making an attempt to get their way... But the other half of the time they're a real woman/man...

If the current trans community was more like this people wouldn't have a problem with it..

[media=https://youtu.be/783LugtY7oc]

I see science as being dismissed by the current standards. Politicians getting stumped and trolled easily because they can't even answer what a woman is. Basic 4 year old level knowledge on biology being thrown out the window, so do explain how you defend that? If I were you I'd be simply upset at whoever is being an idiot at the time. No matter their usual banner. Are you going to call out all the left who were being racists towards a judge because he was black and didn't align with their ideology? So that suddenly gave them the right to be racist towards him? You've given me zero examples of any objectivity from your side. Zero call outs on any of these obvious examples.

Are you going to call out the people who mock black people for having conservative values? As if they're not allowed to have free thought and instead need to be whitesplained by white saviors why they're so oppressed? And how they can't make decisions for themselves? As if blacks don't have the intelligence to make their own informed decisions? If you maybe start calling out the ridiculousness of what certain things happen amongst your group then I could believe you have objectivity. Until then all I see is a person on the internet who follows the same pattern and flow as every other person who's claimed to be a part of a particular side.

Hopefully that compiled enough to get through to you to see that there is stark contrasts between the ideals that I understand people want, vs. the stark contrast and how people are applying them and using them to infiltrate things or to use them to get their way. That's the main issue people have with it in todays current political climate. Leave The Kids Alone...

I didn't read all that but just a headline, I think it's hilarious how the conservatives get been out of shape about stuff, and to a lesser extent the liberals. It's just funny to watch people get so mad over other people's opinions.
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
It's my understanding, that everybody, regardless of time or place gets offended by something, it's just a part of human nature. And every individual human is different in terms of what offends whom. For example, the things that offend you, may not offend me and vice versa. Another more personal example being that when I was a child, I was taught that swearing is bad and that in effect, made me very quick to indignantly react when someone swore in casual conversation, regardless of whether it was a friend, a family member, an accquaintance or even a total stranger. But as time went on, I became gradually less offended by it as I've grown.

Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@BigGuy2 My case being, that you don't have to be liberal to be offended. Being offended, or upset, or disgusted is a negative emotional response that has been inherent in the whole of humankind since the days of our prehistoric protohuman ancestors.

You're a liberal, though. The easily offended pansies aren't liberals. They're moral authoritarian lunatics who think everybody else should change for them instead of them changing and adapting themselves. I can't stand those people. They're obnoxious to be around.

Sometimes we don’t set the right example, I’m guilty of that myself at times and I’m working on it. Also, I see people here and on other social sites go on for a long time arguing with a robot. The more extreme and aggressive that profile is, it’s more probable it’s a bot.

Very little offends me and at least generally speaking I don't whine about what does. I do block a lot here though because I come here for fun and always regret responding to political or religious stuff. People have a right to believe whatever they want.

It's not really a reputation driven by what we do but one pushed by extreme media and political forces who need to create a focus for the discontent felt by their followers to distract them from the harm that those forces are doing.
The death of the ecosystem made most people irrelevant. We had strong feelings against it.
So, the ecosystem must die anyway and now the butt hurt aren't considered human. Only complacency is normal for killers.

WOW ... a Liberal that isn't a 'Loony Leftie' - so there are common sense ones out there, just like Taibi and Schellenberger
There's a massjve difference between true Liberalism and woke leftism, you seem to be on the correct path of true Liberalism.
