Voted for hate, receive hate. Reap what you sow, you dumb piece of shit.

One of today's (unlucky) 10,000 who has never read that one poem. They may come first for somebody you, a fucking bigot, don't like, but later they're going to come for you, too.

I swear to god, didn't even have to read it to know that this person owns a business.

The only "normal" people the media interviews anymore are small business owners.

If you don't a own a startup, have a registered LLC, or aren't a published author then you just aren't a person.

Do you understand what your country is yet? Because "citizens" are chattel and only money makers matter to those in power.

Early humans must've spent a lot of time policing one another's mating habits and resource consumption, seeing as what effective tools those are at manipulating idiots today.

Everyone's becoming a rebel, slowly but surely. Sabine was a good little grunt until the weapons she built the empire were turned on her own people. It will take time, but empires always, inevitably, fall.

Sharif is not politically active, but in 2024, some campaigners came to her shop and told her that Trump would be good for business and against the LGBTQ agenda. 

“I was immediately hooked,” she said

Well, Sharif, FUCK YOU. You were immediately hooked because he was going to hurt other people.

And now he's hurting you (on top of them).

Cry me a river, Sharif.

To be fair that was the single reason his base voted for him.

Why do people harbor hatred for people living their own life. It astonishes me to no end

[–] inkzombie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

Insecurity. They need someone to view as less than so they can seem better by comparison. It's not just religion.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 74 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Usually... a religious background. While most major religions do talk about inclusivity and helping others... They're also filled with stories and sometimes even instructions of how to destroy those that don't believe the same way.

There are religious leaders that push agendas of hatred because they have the power to do so and they're harbor that in their own heart, surrounding themselves with religion as a shield.

"When I saw they were bigots just like me, I was really excited! Then I found out they're bigots in other ways too and it made me sad :("

Fuck you, lady. You wanted me and people like me dead.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 28 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

These stories often hit me with a pang of pity at first. Poor, dumb, moronic idiots, I just want to hug them and pat them on the head like the snotnosed children they are.

But as you pointed out, they were roped in to this with promises of cruelty toward others. It's hard to muster up empathy for that.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 89 points 1 week ago

Get fucked Sharif. You voted to hurt people, and now he's gonna hurt you.

Eat shit.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 89 points 1 week ago (7 children)

“I just wanted him to kill the gays!”

Bigots getting what they deserve. Cry me a river.

"I Never thought the man I put in office would come for my family, make me financially struggle and cause so much fear that I carry my passport when I go to the bathroom"

I just thought he would come for your family and make you financially struggle and cause so much fear that you carry your passport when you go to the bathroom

Seriously, drop dead.

The one commonality between all the conservatives I know (both rich and poor) is that they cannot or do not care about anything that isn't obviously and directly affecting them.

I wish Sharif nothing but the worst.

Yes, indeed. The weapon you voted for is indeed coming to kill you and your people. And the desire and tendency to kill you and your people were abundantly clear the first time around. So the only conclusion to be drawn is that you’re an absolute fucking idiot.
