Stupid liberal idea of the day

Now I’m imagining a rabbi walking around a warehouse blessing boxes stacked high with breast implant sacs and scribbling on a clipboard to certify that they do not contain any pork…

Of course I’m a gentile so I probably am seriously misunderstanding the kosher process but it did give me a giggle.

If the OP wants to see people catalogue liberal stupidity he should definitely check out the Shit Liberals Say sub-reddit.

Is that also filled with made up quotes, quotes taken out of context and/or gross misrepresentations of what people really said; all for the purpose of saying “look at those stupid people (that I had to make shit up about to make them sound stupid!)”

I read somewhere that voluntarily getting a tattoo disqualifies one’s remains from burial in certain Jewish graveyards. Something about intentionally causing harm to/disfiguring one’s own body, I gathered.

Whether that’s true, or whether my speculation about the actual commandment behind the prohibition is correct, I have no idea. I’m also not sure that it falls under the heading of “Things That Are/Are Not Covered By The Laws Governing What Is Kashrut And What Is Treif.”

Beats the hell out of me. I found it unnavigable, and therefore unreadable. I’ve been on this platform for eighteen years, and I’m NOT going to put forth the effort required to become fluent in ANOTHER thread format.

nvm

Does it have the one where the guy was brutally attacked before he could even get out of his car because of his haircut?

That one was awesome, especially after he came clean and admitted he cut himself because he’s an idiot.

Mr. Hump seems obsessed with lawnmower girl. What’s happening there?

Did he wish her “Merry Christmas”? Did she let him grab her pussy?

It’s Communists making fun of Capitalists, so it’s different than this thread. I’m not sure I’d say better, but certainly different.

Maybe, last time I ended up in there it was 90% “OMG LOOK AT THIS VIRTUE SIGNALER QUOTE!!!”.

Well, as I say about that;

Calling something ‘virtue signalling’ is really only a sign that you yourself are lacking in virtue and do not see any value in virtue or goodness. You also very likely believe that everyone else in the world is exactly like you.

In other words, you’re a piece of shit calling out someone else for thinking that they’re a good person when you don’t believe anyone is good. But that person’s actions trigger the rotted carcass of your own conscious and the only way you can distract from that internal dissonance is to mock the other party.

So henceforth translate all occurrences of ‘virtue signaling’ as the speaker saying; ‘Good god am I a piece of shit’.

Political correctness is the stupid liberal idea of the decade.
Look at these examples.
(Many of these are from right-wing idiots rather than the lawnmower-lady clique, but the Liberal Idea thread seems lonely so I posted here. :slight_smile: )

  • Hoop earrings are No-no: they appropriate Latino identity
  • Dr. Seuss is racist
  • Casting a black for Star Wars is “White Genocide”
  • whites mustn’t quote Beyoncé
  • saying “Don’t disregard opposing viewpoints” in a commencement address is advocating white genocide
  • Justin Trudeau’s pro-refugee policies “prolong the genocide of Indigenous people”
  • the film Dunkirk was sexist and racist: why no black women soldiers on the beach?
  • a video game where shooting Nazis is a goal is “anti-white”
  • Et cetera

I realize these stupidities are all far more extreme than the politically correct stupidities espoused at SDMB. But enough is enough! Let’s Live and Let Live.

Progressive thinkers with their sanctimonious p.c. ideas led to the election of Donald Trump. Please Get a Clue or Get off the keyboard.

I think the worst part of the Internet nowadays is that if only 1 or 2 people out of a country of 350 million say something is racist or anti-white, suddenly it means it’s true for everyone.

I don’t know if I would say that anything that claims “White Genocide” or something is anti-white cold be classified as “liberal”.

I’ve seen the hoop earring thing and I still say it’s dumb.

I thought wearing hoop earrings was appropriating pirate identity. Arr.

Word.

Meanwhile:

Star Trek, dammit. And, BTW, Lt. Uhura wore hoop earrings and I’m pretty sure she wasn’t Latina.

I think he was referring to Fin in the new Star Wars trilogy.

Nope. From the linked article:

Wow, my bad.

The work web filters blocked the site, so I was making a bad assumption.

Sorry about Trek --> Wars. I think it was autocorrect. :smack:
