The person was expressing that some language of a proposal might need to be changed to be more inclusive, which sounded like a great point on the surface until they dropped that gem and made it clear that it was more out of concern about getting woke scolded by lefties. "My so and so is a teacher and the stories she has...."
I could have piped up and said something like "you mean the stories she heard on Fox News, because that shit isn't real", but what's the point? Guess I'm shocked because I knew the person definitely wasn't a lefty, but I didn't think they were that far into chud think.
Why didnt you pipe up? Laugh at these idiots in public so other people feel safe laughing at these idiots in public.
Leftists! Pipe up! It cant just be me every time
Fair criticism for sure. I guess at the time I was reeling from the "OH! They're a chud!?" reaction to form a response. Next time I should be better prepared. What is unsettling is that I really don't know which side of the fence the rest of the participants fall on. Was the lack of response and quick navigation away from the topic because this view was in the minority, or the quiet consensus but 'a topic you're not supposed to talk about in work meetings'? The person making the comment isn't what I would classify as a knuckle dragger, and it's a clear epiphany for me about assuming that seemingly intelligent people apply rational thought to the information that they absorb.
I work with chuds too so I know to keep my head down, but there is a line and that comment is well past it.
Bullying doesn't work on anti-authoritarians as well as authoritarians. Bullying a leftist will most likely just make them even more sure of what needs to be done
Authoritarians at their heart want to be seen as belonging to the group. Ostracization works as well.
yeah it's an easy call out because of how obviously deranged they sound
Bruh the "real" story is much worse. Some teachers are putting buckets of cat litter in their closets because cat litter will soak up blood if the kids get shot, and bc it'll give the kids somewhere to go to the bathroom if they're locked down for hours and hours. That's apparently what the rumor mutated out of.
"Actually that bullshit you believe is a precaution for when a gunman breaks in to the school and starts shooting children" should shut that bullshit down pretty abruptly.
It's literally emergency toilets in case they have to lock down inside the classroom. You know, like in a school shooting?
The line is '...then you must identify as an arsehole because there's nothing but fucking shit falling out your mouth'.
"Oooh I heard about that! It was at NeverHappened High, in the town of MakeBelieve"
this would have been a good moment to practice your Combat LIberalism
This has to be met with bursting out laughing. There is absolutely nothing else other than humiliation that will get through to them for being this gullible.
