I wish, with every fiber of my being, that this is not real

A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.

[–] [email protected] 95 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I would suggest it's the conservative ideologies that are toxic, education is the antidote.

[–] nonentity 42 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I’d posit both statements are true and fundamentally complimentary.

That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.

I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.

The mother has some question to answer when it comes to her BF choices.

That's a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.

I mean, it's a Reddit story, so grain of salt.

But it is a very funny story

Imagine being so scared of pronouns that you tear up a little kid's English homework. Like, can you really be that dense? What's next, Adjectives?!

[–] [email protected] 72 points 3 days ago (28 children)

Modern conservatism is mental illness - it's not a case of being dense - it's a case of being genuinely disabled.

Ironic for a political ideology grounded in and returning to eugenics.

Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?

There are pronouns in the fucking bible

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

I wonder how he feels about you saying that.

Pronouns are a basic part of language. Getting rid of them makes communication way harder. Unless you speak Spanish, I guess.

[–] Peruvian_Skies 19 points 3 days ago (9 children)

Do you think we don't use pronouns in Spanish? Because we absolutely do.

Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can't be sure in the current day lmao

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago

I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:

"the saying used to be 'it's too good to be true' has morphed into 'it's too horrid to be false.'"

George does not like pronouns. George tries to keep George’s temper under George’s control when the (plural) people George interacts with use pronouns.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 4 days ago (4 children)

The plural form is clearly peopleses.

Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child's homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.

That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting.... or anywhere really.

I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid's homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn't enough.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

That guy failed English literacy. Though... Honestly... Not surprising for a right wing American.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure pronouns didnt exist for him in school because he dropped out before they taught it to him

[–] [email protected] 74 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Well I know what my mom would do. She'd kick that bf in the nuts for getting mad at her kid like that, lol.

I am not being hyperbolic.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Yeah, my mom would dropped that like it was hot. I was home schooled because we moved so much (poor, not military). When we got to the science module of the school books when I was ± 8 years old, she realized just how much fundamentalist bullshit was in them. She has spent basically everything on those books, and we never used them again. Went to the local library and got all the science books she could, and taught actual science to me. The books they had sent literally had drawings on humans wearing leopard skins foraging for berries while a dinosaur drank water in the background.

This is how extremism works. If they get rid of knowledge they then control the knowledge and how it’s interpreted. Especially how people are educated.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Holy shit, wait, what if we convince them that gender is a liberal hoax?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 4 days ago

Your flaw in logic and reasoning is applying logic and reasoning.

Dude doesn't even remember elementary school English lessons.

I fully expect JD Vance to use an elementary school pronoun worksheet to suggest drag queens are grooming children.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 4 days ago (6 children)

On one hand, this is obviously fake

On the other hand, there's 7 billion people on the planet and the odds that one of them would do this is very high

The year was 1991.
My roommate decides to eat hot dogs.
We keep breads in the freezer so they last. Toaster is broken.
I tell this to my roommate before I go to the toilet.
I come out and I see a pot of boiling water with hot dogs and hot dog buns in it.
My roommate decided to boil bread to warm it up.

People can be far stupider than you could possibly ever imagine.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I had a friend that liked to put butter and honey on his bread before he put it in a two slice toaster. He did this every morning for years.

Each time the toaster broke or caught fire, he would put it out and get a new toaster and repeat the process. He may still be doing it to this day.

Wound't going entirely gender neutral be progressive?

Sounds like a call to CPS is needed. Maybe a game of ‘shot to the chin’ every time he uses one.
