No LGBTQ people
Because LGBTQ people just appeared out of nowhere, willed into corporeal existence one day in the mid-80's by the manifestation of the Woke Mind Virus, and totally haven't existed in every civilization at any given time throughout the entirety of human history.
Really cool how they just casually suggest genocide like this.
and suddenly i'm the asshole if I even suggest any sort of retaliatory violence.
it's pretty easy to deflate this rhetoric if you know how to press their buttons;
"Do you want your daughter to marry a guy struggling with the urge to kiss men?"
I mean, whatever, at this level of homophobia they clearly want to exterminate anyone who isn't a cishet Christian. "Pushing their buttons" is just a shortcut to get them angry enough to admit it.
Well, yeah. If you can get them to say that, it's the fastest way to discredit them to anyone listening/lurking.
I found this to have funny results for people who are all hurt about dating dynamics as well. "Oh, so you would rather be a woman?"
Because LGBTQ people just appeared out of nowhere,
Clearly it's because of the chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay.
The Spartans were just really good friends, and Greeks never enjoyed the company of anyone but rhe person they married
I love how this dork thinks "pro-environment" is on the table.
It doesn't matter that you've made divorce illegal, you're still not going to get a girlfriend
If the spike in tubal ligations after overturning roe is any indication, the chance they get a girlfriend is less likely.
How do I rebel? By mirroring the exact positions of a 90 year-old who has never left their hometown, except I also throw in the environment because I have to live with the consequences of their positions and they have those positions because they don't have to.
They don't care about the environment, they just want to live on a farmhouse where migrant workers do their farming for them.
At least in Colorado it just means they want animals to hunt. But they also want to privitise all the land, use it for ranching, defund state efforts to protect natural areas, and expand fracking. They don't hike and they don't believe climate change exists despite it rapidly endangering those alpine animals.
It's the same kind of demonic fuck-fuck game they play with terms like "save the children" or "family values".
edit: Actually, I'm part of a ranger org with some 300~ members. Most of them are boomers and I've spoken with dozens of them. Not a single one has been a right-winger. They try to co-opt conservationism for their ranching and hunting, but even the most basic work of stewardship is so far beyond their capacity.
they want to hunt
they want to ranch
They're jealous they didn't get to extirpate the buffaloes so they want to do the same to wolves lmao
Anyway, what sort of stuff does your ranger org do?
Everything to do with trail maintenance, land stewardship, and protecting/educating hikers. The US Forest Service in this region of the state has been reduced to a single full-time ranger so they rely on volunteers for the bulk of the work.
just musing here, but was the revival of the conservation corps with americorps in the 90s a way to undermine professional conservation labor the same way teach for america was for teachers?
The CCC has always been a reserve army of labour, but with a focus on work that is so unprofitable that the market can't reasonably do it without the same kind of private-public partnership that's less efficient than just keeping it in house. Here Americorps is partnered with the county's workforce development department and county-run conservation corps. HOAs in the mountains can afford to fund private foresters through their watershed coalitions, but my partner is a forester on a contract like that and their unpaid commute is 2 hours each way up and down mountain roads. There's too much work for Americorps or the USFS to cover and even then the private work is so poorly paid that they're making like $18/hr without benefits to do wildly dangerous shit.
Since you can't even really get house insurance up there anymore, if not for Americorps a lot of people would probably take no mitigation efforts and just let their property burn. That's like an antivaxxer coughing in a room full of immunocompromised people.

I didn't even know that existed, how would one find such an org?
It probably differs from area to area, but look up wildland volunteer groups. At least here we have state-level ones, county and city ones, private orgs, ones devoted to specific watersheds and ranger districts, and ones that specialise in different kinds of work/seasons. With mine it's protecting a specific ranger district so you can use the web portal to sign up for patrolling individual hikes in it or for group days where we might be picking invasive weeds or rebuilding a bridge or doing a guided hike with a geologist member. Most of us are some kind of natural scientist or at least devoted naturalist so it's super fun to experience nature with passionate experts.

Pro-environment
Is that what you call it when you pollute rivers so badly they catch fire?
Pro-environment to them means forcefully depopulating the planet (guess which groups) until the wasteful lifestyles of current imperial core humans is within the earth's carrying capacity.
They might actually be serious. There have been a few right-wing dictators that were completely genocidal but put in legitimate efforts for environmental conservation. Trujillo in particular comes to mind.
Being Pro-environment and Pro-God to these people means praying to God to fix the environment and if nothing happens, then that's just how he wants things to be.
Right wing 'environmentalism' is definitely a thing. Like taking indigenous land and calling it "national parks."
Reactionaries wanting to "retvrn" to the "tradition" of the nuclear family... Bro you worship capital, not god
Seriously, even monogamy is a societal construct
These stupid fucks wouldn't know tradition if it bit them in the dick
Reactionaries draw a line in history where they want to return to and call that "tradition". For Americans, it's laughably recent. Japanese fascists at least want to go back to before the nuclear family, but their call to "retvrn" is similarly unserious and is reminiscent of the "Greek"-obsessed statue guys. Ignore all the homosexuality, ignore the paganism, ignore the female emperors... We totally want to retvrn guys it's just that 99% of the past did it wrong, too so we gotta correct that. 🙄
Yeah, they're usually just kind of insinuating their desired order is traditional, papering over any information to the contrary. Weaponized "theme park" history.
The most traditional power source, next to human labour and wood fire.
We must bring Posadism back to America:
- More nuclear wars
- More dolphin communication
- More alien interference in human affairs
I like how nothing they advocate actually does anything concrete to create the world they want, it just abuses people. Literally "the beatings will continue until morale improves" shit.
A lot of these things are very recent in terms of history unlike porn and lgtbq which has existed since the beginning which is infact very traditional.
The funny thing about the yankee empire is that we don't have a general concept of the empire. So, unlike say the brits' empire where people and the press might talk about what to do in this or that colonial holding, the core here largely only talks about local stuff. It's a weird kinda irony; the most extensive empire in global history is also the most parochial.
I mean, this is just stupid reactionary christian stuff. What's really interesting is that this stupid reactionary christian stuff isn't made different for coming from the core's core of empire. You find identical stuff coming from out of the way countries with little influence over anything. Poland, for example.
