The worse one is them bringing up how "Muslims are all rapists" but dressed up as concern-trolling for victims of crime. I call them out on it but then it's me that is the bad person? Like fuuuuuck you
For me, the worst typical chuddery are "(LGBTQIA+) are mentally ill" posts from extremely well adjusted and very normal people that post (CW: suicide references, bullying)
spoiler
unprompted statistics about suicide and then state their desire to watch such people die over and over again because they are concerned.Cowardly nazi fucks should drop the concern trolling, but if they did, they might also stop being nazis and be something very slightly less horrible instead.
A guy I know, nicest guy generally, but boy, don't get him talking about white male suicide rates. Known him for 20+ years, but over time he's become more and more reactionary. He's a smart guy, could easily be a leftist since our views usually align, but he's so entrenched in his world view that it would take an act of god to get him out of it.
I don't know what you call it. Sunk Cost Fallacy? To even begin to admit hes wrong would mean his been wrong about so many other things. I think that's what keeps them in this cage.
I think that's exactly what it is. It's the "STILL LOVE THE TRUCKKK" of political ideology.
Like you said, the suicide one makes me so mad, because they simultaneously concern troll over trans suicide, then celebrate said suicides, make jokes about it etc.
Fuck these sick freaks.
Every time I hear the 'muslims are all rapists' bit, I just kinda grin because it's one of the few places where my infinitely-regretted time as an Amerikan uniform actually comes in handy. I just ask them to say that again to every single white man who caught an SA charge on a military base. I ask them how high they think SA rates get on state-side bases. (It's even worse at overseas bases; it's just over here that anything actually seems to happen to perpetrators.) And then I guffaw, heartily, from the belly-up whenever they either fail to give me a percentage, or low-ball it so hard that you can smell the exceptionalism on the opinion.
Like, nah, peckerwood; it's white men who are perpetrating the majority of it.
