Are you threatening me?

Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others
- They simply don't care for the values of the Age of Enlightenment. Kant's Categorical Imperative would unduly inconvenience them.
- You people don't actually think this is a serious response from an actual person, do y'all?
  
  I just say whatever I think is funny, okay?
- Even when presented with the hypocrisy, they still refuse to acknowledge there is a problem.
- Maybe it's safe to assume he's a conservative but you'll be surprised at how many brocialists we have on the left.
  
  brocialists
  Lol
- That's more of an idiot move.
  
  Who's got the time to tell the difference?
  
  Sure- conservatives aren't all idiots. Some are assholes
  
  The Venn diagram between those two things is basically a circle at this point.
  
  I don't really agree. The idiot circle nicely encompasses the conservative circle, but there are a lot of idiots that aren't conservatives as well!
  
  That's what they said
- Can you even imagine his response if a gay man had approached him the same way? Dude would be on the 6 o'clock news crying into the camera while covered in blood.
  
  Sone might fight, but guys like these on socials would get hammered by gay dudes. No pun intended.
- What has this got to do with being conservative?
  It's just someone being an ass, I don't understand how their place on the political spectrum even gets thought about.
  I find this a lot on social media. How there is such venom towards whatever the other side is that it becomes all encompassing.
  Or am I totally missing something here?
  Edit: the American masses don't like their world view being questioned it seemed.
  
  That smells like “not all conservatives”

  When you write something like this, you can't genuinely think it's 100% accurate, right? Like, you have to know it's BS deep down, right?
  
  That statement, out of context, is fairly accurate. OP is just not in the group they think they are.
  
  Lack of empathy, especially towards women, is generally associated with conservatives due to the current political climate. Whether or not that's got any truth to it, I couldn't say.
  
  It's not just "anyone being an ass is conservative!" This type of misogyny is very much a conservative thing. They've made it part of their ethos.
  
  Right, but the post didn't mention anything political, so why bring it up? I find the obsession with US politics tiring.
  
  Everything is political. Misogyny is political.
  
  I guess if you lived here, experiencing the speed run into authoritarianism, you'd feel tired, but also a bit raw and sensitive about this shit. Unless you're one of the fuckos that seem to be cheering that same speed run.
  
  Certainly not cheering on. I'm amazed at how fast things turned for the worse. Back in Reddit days the sheer fuckton of American politics posts and comments were overwhelming. Today it's full on ludicrous speed.
  But I get it. Your comment makes me reflect. I'm not living there, I'm not experiencing it first hand.
  As a human race we are fucked. I'm watching the "ww2 in colour" series at the moment, and seeing the rampaging and senseless death makes me sad. But hearing how the world came together to push back an opposite force gave me hope. If the same thing happened today, I don't think we as a race would be capable of such a feat again, and mostly because of all the infighting.
  
  The world isn't dying. It's being killed.
  Primarily by a few hundred people.
  
  I agree with you completely. I wasn't trying to imply you were cheering this on. Just this shit administration and it's idiot supporters. I tend to look at "world news" vs "US news" just because I'm tired of this shit too.
  
  Eh, it's not just americans. Conservatism is very much "rules for thee but not for me".
  
  Women are bleeding to death alone in hospital parking lots after being kicked out by doctors as a direct result of the conservative movement. Have you ever faced a real life-or-death threat? It is only human to fight back with all your might all the time when someone tries to kill you.
  
  This is off the rails now. A probably fake exchange depicting a creep triggering such a responding comment is beyond all my expectations.
  
  You asked and got an honest answer, and now you’re upset.
  
  Beyond my expectations I said. I'm not upset, I'm just surprised.
