Man Displays Father’s Severed Head in Horrific Video Railing Against Biden, Immigration, ‘Far-Left Woke Mobs’

I like asking to play a game of who can list more politically-motivated homicides for each ideology and conservatives strangely never want to play.

I would answer anti-fascist, but if someone asked me "Are you communist or anti-communist? Pick one" I would answer "neither"

I saw a post recently - pretty sure it was in nottheonion - of a screencap of a Fox News segment, where they were interviewing someone that the caption described as an “anti-anti-fascist”.

Though to be fair, Fox News viewers aren’t likely to put two and two together. Or, for that matter, realize that an anti-anti-fascist is just a fascist.

How do you convince them, that "neither" is not an option? What if they say they care about neither?

It's an equivocation trick. Not all anti-fascists are associated with the movement that calls itself antifa.

Are you pro-life or anti-life? You only get to pick one.

Fuck outta here with this nonsense. Stop trying to score points and try to have conversations with people.

Eh that's like asking "Are you Pro Israel or Pro Hamas, you only get to pick one"

Decapitating a family member because there are men in your imagination wearing women's clothes.

Yikes on bikes. I'm guessing this is yet another person that probably should've been in a mental institution instead of alone, ignored, and getting suckered into the alt right pipeline. Surely the level of violence he exhibited is pathological.

Is this stuff even far-right anymore? Feels like it's fully adopted by pretty much all self proclaimed Republicans at this point.

If hexbear was here, they'd tell you liberals are just as bad lol. I agree that to an extent, but in reality I do seem them to be much better. Crazies just so happen to line up with conservative ideals, which essentially just boils down to just bigotry at the end of the day.

You're generally correct as studies corroborated the feeling of disgust to be stronger on those on the right. But I wouldn't necessarily put that to every single conservatives. I met many conservatives who are still sane. The term RINO is a thing after all, and the only conservative party I agree with is the German CdU.

Do you have a Background in Psychology or did you pull this Conlusion out of your Ass?

This is an almost perfect description of what's going on. I was unlucky enough to be raised in one of their conservative homeschool cults... 8 kids. 2 girls, were uneasy about the doctrine for a bit but were taught by parents to be submissive so they just accepted it. 4 other boys, no empathy or feelings whatsoever, became three hateful people and one neo-nazis. The third girl, fought against it with moderate ideas, advocating for women's rights, etc. Was verbally abused and taunted by them and her parents to the point of extreme depression, self harm, possibly suicidal thoughts idk. Hasn't left Christianity, but graduated early to get away from them. Then me, enby (assigned male). Not even open about it, but different from the other guys bc I actually have empathy and feelings. Depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts (the usual), survived bc of outside friends I had in secret, became a pagan liberal but still really mentally screwed up...

I do wonder if the enlargement of the parts of the brain dealing with fear conditioning, self-deception and emotional learning but lack of emotional regulation are because most if not all extreme conservatives (at least in my campus "dataset" of about 50) have survived extreme cases of abuse and either a) became numb to it and started convincing themselves to do it to others because it's "right" or b) became extremely depressed, suicidal, learned heightened empathy and critical thinking by surviving that and ended up in the "liberal" dataset.

The funny thing about Dunning & Kruger, their study was based on faulty science. They believed their own bullshit and loudly proclaimed their findings that "felt right". And it became a meme, when a bunch of people believed their headline without checking their study first, including me. There is no significant correlation.

So, stupid people overestimating their abilities? Let's start with examining Dunning & Kruger.

This is not an edited photo. CPAC literally created and wore that banner of their own volition.

And they have the gall to say liberalism is a mental disorder.

Say it with me now, "P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N"

It's astonishing they're even given a platform, much less being one of the most influential political parties in the nation

Going to read that article, but first an aside... Look at all those fucking rich white people in that photo.

How could anyone ever think that the Republicans actually represent anyone besides rich white people? And mostly men at that.

Liberal mainstream society has always been very bad at combating fascism because they desire calm and order and lawfulness which fascists can exploit.

Somehow the most calm and vegetarian liberal mainstream societies are also the least fascist, and fascism doesn't grow there. So maybe it just works and your fixes are not required.

So besides “liberal anti-fa” using legal means like suing the KKK out of existence you also need autonomous anti-fa to prevent fascists from recruiting.

Why would you attack their visibility if the problem is their existence and visibility is a feedback allowing to measure it?

because fascists speech using clever lies creates fascist thinking.

Only if fascists use clever lies, how does one tell between "liberals" and fascists?

And also that fascist thinking is exactly ...

The right to free speech has to exclude hate speech.

... this. Exclusion of rights given as a dogma.

You don't need that, you can just allow people to not communicate with carriers of views they consider inhumane, but you still choose the most fascist way of countering fascism.

Also:

You allow you child to do everything, they might get wounded in one way or another, they might become somebody whom you wouldn't want them to be, they might make mistakes, but they might also be happy.

You keep them locked (figuratively), and they won't become anyone at all.

You make your own choices in between and they become closer to the latter, but conscious of what they could have been.

It's not a coincidence that a batshit crazy person is spewing right wing insanity and not singing kumbaya with the lefties. Just saying.

Terrorism is "fucknut crazy". Killing others in the name of a belief system that controls and represses others, for political or theological reasons, is fucking nuts. This isn't the control of "don't shit on LGBTQ people" that conservatives whine about and claim is liberal tyranny, this is the control that physically harms people because they don't conform to their fucked-up belief system. Which is what this guy did.

BRB - Need to make sure my pride and BLM flags are clearly visible. :)

Not a minority.

Not non-white

Not female

In fact, he was adamantly anti-LGBTQ+.

Come to think of it, a lot of other terrorists are anti-LGBTQ+ as well.

I'm sure there's no connection tho.

True, but it wasn't always true. In the 1960s and 70s the far left was more violent. Not especially relevant, but it is interesting.

I still like red hatters, but that never caught on

Cult 45

I've never heard this one! Hahahahaha! wow!

There are many examples of mentally ill Republicans

I think it's more that this nut job latched onto conservatism as his thing. If it wasn't that it would have been something else.

That being said, if conservatism wasn't preventing adequate mental healthcare maybe this wouldn't have happened.

You don't need to be psychotic to murder someone. Soldiers can be trained to kill. There could be nothing in his head to medicate away, just a bunch of conservative dogshit where his mind should have been.

I didn’t read the article

LMAO

It’s not about republicans, it’s about mental health.

Republicans are actively making it as hard as possible to receive help for or pro actively address mental health issues. They also actively shame people for such problems and want them to just shut up about it. So no, Republicans definitely bear quite a lot of guilt for such "tragedies"!

Not sure if you’re rearranging fact for effect, but it was a workplace shooting at the Edmond, OK post office by another postal worker that coined the phrase “going postal”. Dude brought a few handguns and killed 15 and wounded I don’t know how many more.

You should listen to the "you're wrong about" podcast on "going postal." It's an interesting dive in that.

Don't forget his gun control measures, although that was admittedly only for racist reasons...

To be fair, we don't know where she found the head. They might have thought he took it with him.

I've been watching in horror pretty much all of my short 30 years of life from America. And I wish the problem was just here.

He isn't representative of conservatives as a whole, but the rhetoric pushed by many prominent Republicans is exactly the sort of propaganda to inspire these actions.

Mentally ill yes, but if you think he's the only right wing person in the death cult, hoo boy.

Not all Republicans are mentally ill, but mentally ill people sure do love them.
