  • The Ritual

    Jump

  • It's an exaggeration/joke on the tricks or "rituals" people will do when they know they're going to a buffet in order to eat as much as possible and get their "moneys worth"

    Among them is not eating all day (Though ideally, you should actually lightly snack throughout the day)

  • Ok maybe the flushing part is a bit overkill and mostly a joke, but a toilet that can deliver notifications like if it's clogged for example before you use it and make it worse would have fantastic utility IMO

  • Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?

  • Hah, don't try to play the reasonable middle-ground card with me.

    American political parties do not define political perspective globally. U can have conservative views and still hate what the us conservative party is doing.

    Sure, hide behind semantics. I'm clearly talking about conservatism as an ideology - the same ideology that opposes progress and protects hierarchies of power worldwide. Whether it's the US Republican party, the UK Tories, or Australia's Liberal party - it's all built on the same foundations of preserving privilege for some at the expense of others.

    Not at all I hate people who oppose freedom and equality of opportunity.

    Bull. The policies your "side" keeps pushing TARGET specific groups of people - immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, Black and brown communities. Don't pretend it's about some noble principle when the outcomes keep hurting the same people over and over.

    That's the same thing as what Hitler promised.

    Are you seriously comparing leftist policies to Nazism? This is peak bad-faith argument. Hitler used promises of "equality" as a very thin veneer to scapegoat Jews and other minorities. Hitler's "equality" was only (and openly) for his defined "master race" - it was exclusionary by design. Leftist policies aim to include everyone in their benefits. In some cases the same tactics the right uses today, Hitler was far closer to today's right-wingers than left

    The left says the exact same thing for the exact same reasons just they point the hate at different groups of people.

    No, we don't. Being intolerant of intolerance isn't the same as hating someone for their identity. Calling out bigotry isn't "hate" - it's accountability. I refuse to accept this false equivalence.

    Equality of opportunity or equality of outcome cos those are 2 very different things.

    This talking point is so tired. There IS no "equality of opportunity" when systemic barriers exist from birth. Your side loves to pretend we're all starting on equal footing when that's demonstrably false.

    I'm in Australia where we have free healthcare

    Oh, so you enjoy the benefits of "leftist" policies while arguing against them? How convenient. And yes, your healthcare system IS better than our nightmare - because it operates on COLLECTIVE responsibility rather than individual "freedom."

    So why align with any political group if u know they are all the same playing the same games.

    They're not all the same, and that was my entire point about. What they lie ABOUT matters.

    When progressive leaders lie, they're promising universal healthcare, living wages, and equal rights they might not be able to deliver. When conservative leaders lie, they're just literally scapegoating immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and minorities for all of society's problems.

    I align with the side that at least has to PRETEND to care about making everyone's lives better, not the side that openly campaigns on making certain people's lives worse. The fact that you can't see this difference proves you're not the "free thinker" you claim to be.

    Both sides have corruption and liars, but only one side has to appeal to basic human decency to get votes. That's why it matters who supports whom, even knowing politicians will more likely than not disappoint me.

    I never said I believe the lies

    Yet here you are, repeating every conservative talking point in the book. You claim to be above it all while pushing the exact rhetoric that maintains the status quo.

    Save your "both sides" nonsense for someone who'll fall for it. I'm not interested.
