Pronouns bad!

A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
- I would suggest it's the conservative ideologies that are toxic, education is the antidote.
  
  I’d posit both statements are true and fundamentally complimentary.
- Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo. Going this wild about a common grammatical construct because it reminds you of people you hate for existing isn't conservative, it's something far worse.
  
  Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo.
  That's just what Conservatism claims to be about, but it has always been regressive
  
  Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo.
  No, that's a lie conservatives tell to make their ideology seem less abhorrent.
  What conservatism is actually about is perpetuating hierarchy.
  
  One could argue that so called "traditions" they are holding so much dearly in their heart never was fully a thing and is just the product of past idealizations and marketing propaganda. "The perfect suburban american trad family" from the 60s is a construct made by marketing people to sell fridges, diamond and beautiful car.
  
  In liberal democracy, the status quo is liberalism. Conservatism was to conserve the monarchy and aristocracy.
  
  Fascism. The word you want is fascism.

George does not like pronouns. George tries to keep George’s temper under George’s control when the (plural) people George interacts with use pronouns.
- The plural form is clearly peopleses.
  
  Popeses
  
  Peops?
- Funnily enough this is how many non-binary people want to be adressed in german, as the equivalent of "they" (sie) is not used as a neutral version of he/she. Probably because "sie" is the same word as "sie" (she).

Imagine being so scared of pronouns that you tear up a little kid's English homework. Like, can you really be that dense? What's next, Adjectives?!
- Modern conservatism is mental illness - it's not a case of being dense - it's a case of being genuinely disabled.
  Ironic for a political ideology grounded in and returning to eugenics.
  
  Modern conservativism should be treating by banning the mentally ill from running for office and by imprisoning them.
  
  They say the literal same thing about "libruls".
  All I see are 2 statists fighting.
  
  This is a disgusting thing to type, especially considering how eugenics is used against the disabled
- They'd probably burn the science books purely based on the fact it's science.
  But when they learn about homosapiens theyll lose their shit about a gay agenda
- Imagine believing a reddit story.
  
  Oh man, I would have never known if you hadn't pointed it out. Thank you so much! /s
  Regardless of the validity of this story, I guarantee someone out there has done this to a certain extent. People get worked up about pronouns to such a degree that this almost seems like a relatively tame reaction.

That's a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.
- I mean, it's a Reddit story, so grain of salt.
  But it is a very funny story
  
  Yeah this is peak reddit story telling. I can even see the top comment: this is MORE than mildly infuriating. That's why it's posted there, engagement farming
  
  So is this bit about some delinquent fascist with dementia who was already president once up for bid again. Also, that when he don't win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated by the corporations that successfully sold it as being conducted by anyone else.
  ...and "bid" because let's be real. The whole shebang is a fucking auction that has sold the fucking business of "Government" to the corporations respected by allowing them to STOP PAYING %78 IN TAXES.
- Left or right is irrelevant this is a person who follows propaganda without question. Both sides do exactly the same, and have fools who follow blindly.

Holy shit, wait, what if we convince them that gender is a liberal hoax?
- Your flaw in logic and reasoning is applying logic and reasoning.
  Dude doesn't even remember elementary school English lessons.
- No, we convince them that having sex is woke.
  
  It's too late, they get the breeding stuff stamped into them early. Channel vladimir putin, from his house in russia right to yours by way of conservative talk radio!
- It doesn't work that way. These "people's" worldview is "heads I win, tails you lose." They will be selectively hyper-credulous to whatever bullshit they want to believe, while turning into hyper-skeptics about anything they don't want to believe.
  You will never, ever win against them with a logical argument, not even reverse psychology, because the only rules they play by are the ones they make up second-by-second to make them victorious against you.
- Don't they already believe that? What you call gender is a concept they don't believe in. They use the word as a synonym for assigned sex.
- Gender is why we need all the different pronouns in the first place.

Well I know what my mom would do. She'd kick that bf in the nuts for getting mad at her kid like that, lol.
I am not being hyperbolic.
- Yeah, my mom would dropped that like it was hot. I was home schooled because we moved so much (poor, not military). When we got to the science module of the school books when I was ± 8 years old, she realized just how much fundamentalist bullshit was in them. She has spent basically everything on those books, and we never used them again. Went to the local library and got all the science books she could, and taught actual science to me. The books they had sent literally had drawings on humans wearing leopard skins foraging for berries while a dinosaur drank water in the background.
  
  Lol what :-D I'd love to see that picture!! Hope you're doing okay and what a lovely mother!
- Kick him in the nuts before also kicking him to the curb for being unbelievably dumb?

On one hand, this is obviously fake
On the other hand, there's 7 billion people on the planet and the odds that one of them would do this is very high
- The year was 1991.
  My roommate decides to eat hot dogs.
  We keep breads in the freezer so they last. Toaster is broken.
  I tell this to my roommate before I go to the toilet.
  I come out and I see a pot of boiling water with hot dogs and hot dog buns in it.
  My roommate decided to boil bread to warm it up.
  People can be far stupider than you could possibly ever imagine.
  
  I had a friend that liked to put butter and honey on his bread before he put it in a two slice toaster. He did this every morning for years.
  Each time the toaster broke or caught fire, he would put it out and get a new toaster and repeat the process. He may still be doing it to this day.
  
  George Carlin once said "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
  I've been thinking about that a lot lately.
  
  Did he eat the bread sog sacks?
  
  Bao hot dogs where?
  
  I'm less offended at the boiled bread than I am at the boiled hotdogs.
  you might as well just eat them cold, they're precooked. You heat them on a pan (or grill) to add FLAVOR. boiling generally removes flavor. Browning the skin in some way (Grill, pan, those rollers at gas stations,) is that flavor.
  The only exception to boiling removing flavor is hot dog carts and stands and such like, where the water hasn't been changed... ever.... Yes. it tastes amazing. no. You don't want to know why that is.
- Not necessarily. As someone who worked in education for a bit. You’d be suprised how crazy parents can act, and how they can overinterpret everything as political.
  One parent got mad I was teaching the students about “radicals”… in math. (you know the opposite of the exponent, the radical).
  I think (hope) they felt very embarrassed when I explained that to them.
- Is it obviously fake? In a country where far stupider shit happens regularly?
- Yeah this looks fake because it's a dramatization of reality. I've seen young dudes IRL argue whether it's "gay" to wash the balls, and the unmentionables behind that. Literally just soap and water bathing. We're talking people so uneducated they don't know the word "gooch" or "taint", or anything similar. There's always at least one older dude who leaves to shower like a normal person, but he'll be back later to buy some weed.
  Tangent, but can you imagine buying weed from someone who doesn't wash their ass? That's part of the history of the war on drugs. Unwashed perineums, in your lungs.
  
  Tangent, but can you imagine buying weed from someone who doesn’t wash their ass?
  When you can't get it legally, you do what you gotta do.
- *8 billion since 2022

Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can't be sure in the current day lmao
- I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:
  "the saying used to be 'it's too good to be true' has morphed into 'it's too horrid to be false.'"
- On reddit it's usually best to just assume something is for attention
  
  The fascinating thing about these stories is that 10+ years ago people were all like: pics or didn't happen.
  Now everyone is up in arms to defend these stories they want to believe in. /R/nOtHiNgEvErHaPpEnS
- I agree. It can go either the way, the story is written in such a manner for people to be angry. However, I could easily see someone becoming so brain washed by conservative media to actually believe this.
  It is documented that watching Fox News is terrible. Or that people will believe even the most insane conspiracy theory. I think it's safe to assume that there are indeed people out there who do believe pronouns only exist because of trans people and the "Left".
- If I agree with it, it must be real.

This is how extremism works. If they get rid of knowledge they then control the knowledge and how it’s interpreted. Especially how people are educated.

Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?
- Mr. Rogers says you can do anything you want if you use your imagination.
- Also ~~these~~ and one in that context.
  Edit: these is functioning as an adjective there
  
  I was going to make a joke anti-pronoun sub where we just talk about whatever while refusing to use pronouns until I looked up the list of pronouns and saw how painful that would be.

- I swear, I've been thinking there's nothing from the US that can surprise me anymore, but this did get me.
  How can there be no-one there in any position of power to ask "wtf are you doing"?
- He isn't a teacher he's a social media provocateur I would take that story with a huge grain of salt.
  
  Yeah, none of it makes sense. Why would any teacher not immediately file a lawsuit, unless they're not a teacher and they're trying to drum up "engagement"? But hey, just like the story in the OP, no need to ask questions because it jibes with my point of view!
- Christ it's the pediatrician named Peter Phile from Brasseye. Satire is dead.
- Homophobes? Pronouns? SEEMS one sided to me.
  Teach the kids Heterophobes too.
  Give both sides: pro-nouns and pro-verbs.
  Stop with this culture war in our SCHOOLS.
- "may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex."
  Better not let him see assume, class, bass (ironically a homophone) or many other words with such scandalous suffixes lol

Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child's homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.
That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting.... or anywhere really.
I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid's homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn't enough.

That guy is voting. Probably for the Nazi.
- Probably? Probably at least twice.

I wish, with every fiber of my being, that this is not real
- Sadly, if my abusive step dad were still alive I absolutely can see him doing this

That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.
I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.
- The mother has some question to answer when it comes to her BF choices.

Sounds like a call to CPS is needed. Maybe a game of ‘shot to the chin’ every time he uses one.
- Rock um sock um reactionaries.

Anti-intellectualism is a cancer growing in today's societies

There are pronouns in the fucking bible
- I wonder how he feels about you saying that.
- that doesn’t count though. the bible got grandfathered in
  
  There are actually people out there arguing that pronouns are evil because they "aren't in the bible"
  Even though Jesus literally said "I am he"
- It's even more surprising that there are pronoun in the regular "non-fucking" Bible

mom's bf:
- I was just thinking of this guy. 🤣

Pretty sure pronouns didnt exist for him in school because he dropped out before they taught it to him

Pronouns are a basic part of language. Getting rid of them makes communication way harder. Unless you speak Spanish, I guess.
- Do you think we don't use pronouns in Spanish? Because we absolutely do.
  
  I know they exist, it's simply the fact that they're not usually required in daily speech, since verb conjugation gives the context of the pronoun anyway.
  
  Nosotros
- Spanish pronouns are used mainly in the plain.
  (Side note: I thought the original quote was something like "the rain in Spain falls mostly on the Spaniards," but I can't find anything to support that. Only today did I even learn that it was from a song.)
  
  What song exactly?

That guy failed English literacy. Though... Honestly... Not surprising for a right wing American.

Someone needs a Schoolhouse Rock, preferably dropped on their head from a great height.
- "Conjunctions are a liberal hoax by the Democrats." --J.D. Vance (Probably)
  
  Not to deflect from the stupid lies of Trump and Vance, don't vote for them, but they learned from a master:
  “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.”
- Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla to be exact.

That bf would get clocked if they intimidated my siblings like that and spewed that nonsense in my house.

dads a moron-n. derog. subj.

Literacy is bad mmmm'kay?
/s (obviously)

I fully expect JD Vance to use an elementary school pronoun worksheet to suggest drag queens are grooming children.

That's also your brain on being a stupid little dipshit who didn't pay attention during elementary school grammar.

Wound't going entirely gender neutral be progressive?
- That's what THEY want you to think.

Lol, wow. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Best troll: buy him a 5th grade grammar book for his bday/Xmas.
- Better yet, a grammar book from 20+ years ago.

Fucking pronouns!!! 😲

I don't know, have you seen how they are teaching math these days?
This liberal agenda is getting out of hand!! /s
- They even use Arabic numerals! Shariah state!
  
  We'd been using Arabic numerals forever. Pretty sure your parent is complaining (tongue in cheek) about New Math, because us millennial parents learned multiplication by memorizing a times table and we think that's the only way to do it.
  It makes sense, in terms of a long term education approach, because it teaches the other properties of arithmetic (like distributive or associative or cumulative) much earlier on, which IMO makes more difficult arithmetic far more approachable later on.
  But it is weird as hell if you aren't primed on it. They really should make a ditto for parents when they start doing it.

TIL grammar is an info-hazard.

Them idiots

This is unbelievable, except this is where we are today.

How do I do factorials on the word bad?
