This isn't just a liberal issue, it's a political climate issue that everyone plays a part in. Liberal 'smugness' is a reaction to conservative anti-intellectualism. When their feelings are as good as your facts, there is nothing left to debate.

No matter how simple liberals try to explain things, it doesnt matter. Conservativism has stopped having substance worth debating over when it is no longer about policy, but all about taking the opposite side of every liberal stance.

Liberals are not at fault for the willful ignorance of rural voters. No one starts off being smug and condescending to people. This happens after they've tried to explain with civility a thousand times and nothing worked. When ego and pride, not empathy and understanding, are the only things of value to conservatives, liberals resort to contempt. There is nothing left but to resent these people for being pigheaded and small minded. Their world views are set in stone by fox news, and any attempt you make at showing them the truth is deemed as a personal attack.

Young people these days give me hope for the future.

Tldr; Guy meets blind girl. They date. Guy gets his shit together. She proposes. They get married.

I retie both about half the time because often times when one side comes loose, the other side is close to being undone. That way I don't have to bend down twice in a short time (I have chronic pain).

Sure. I don't listen to music anyways. Nothing against music, just not my thing.

The implication here is that this person has been beaten as a child before and understands what 'la chancla' means.

No, I'm not dense. I'm just capable of understanding context.

Here is a short list that I came up with after a quick search. Justifiable homicide is a similar concept to this, albeit more specific than just 'killing'.

I love memes that normalize hitting kids

You can't always prove intent. That's why some of these problems are systemic. Which one are you doubting? There are too many examples of each for me to list all of them.

Taiwan is a country.

Edit: I love how people who never stepped foot in Taiwan before or have spoken to any Taiwanese person feel entitled to have an opinion about this.

Cops are just one of many examples. Here are some other ways of legally killing people:

  • joining the army
  • becoming a doctor and systemically neglect women and poc
  • fatally injuring someone in self defense
  • getting someone pregant in places with abortion bans

Notice that I said killing, not 'murdering'. So long as it's either not deliberate or acceptable by law, you can legally get people killed.

You can legally kill people too. Cops do it all the time.
