MODERATORS
Let's be real: they're terrified that they might be forced to be near poor people, minorities, gays, and mentally ill folk.
Bingo. I've talked to many of them online and it always boils down to this. It's never that they're actually in any danger. It's just they feel scared. They drive their big trucks because it makes them feel safe.
Meanwhile puny me rides the subway daily.
They're weak, scared, and pathetic. Too xenophobic to interact with anyone or anything outside their coddled circles that might make them feel """uncomfortable""".
Might surprise you, but on feeling scared: I once heard that a slim majority of SUV drivers were women. In some ways it makes sense - if they’d normally be vulnerable walking the streets alone, a less vulnerable vehicle gives them a feeling of safety.
It's not a surprise. There's some good analysis of vehicle advertisements, and one of the big emotions they push with SUV ads is the feeling of being safe in a 'bad' situation.
Fear based advertising (in general)
Article that is often quoted about fear in advertising
That/why/how SUVs and crossovers are so popular
Fear in advertising SUVs
That's nice, no medication I've found yet lets me ride public transportation without constantly freaking out from human proximity but I bet it is just so pleasant to have a normal brain
Their “News ^tm^” is constantly telling them cities are hellholes full of junkies and murderers and murderous junkies.
Most of them have no clue how the world outside their pickup truck windows works.
or they could be, like me, mentally ill folk who really cannot handle being forced to be around other people
But generalizations are fun aren't they!
You arent the main character bruh
Everyone is the main character of their story.
His story is other peoples stories are the same as his story.
I didnt say get over yourself, you literally just made that up
No, I think that's a fair summary of your attitude.
No, I think thats a fair summary of your attitude.
That is an extremely callous thing to say.
No it isnt lmao. Cheer up buttercup 😘
Every single conservative man is mentally ill?
EDIT: to anyone reading this, the person I'm replying to is very clearly a troll. Just read their post history. Do not engage! (:
LOL
Possibly...
Add a little nuance to your argument and I'll engage
Also you didn't parse the sentence correctly, I was specifically referring to MY mental illnesses
Add a little nuance & good faith to your conclusion on my initial statement, and I'll engage, too! Maybe you should re-read things to nake sure you're not misunderstanding something.
— Sincerely, someone who is also struggles with mental illness, including severe anxiety & agoraphobia.
Nothing in my statement said conservatives, you made that up out of bad faith so why are you demanding good faith now?
Why cripple myself with rules you refuse to follow?
.....did you not read the text of which this entire post is about, or...?
Um, that's not my post. That's not even from lemmy.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
His username is angry autist, just BTW. Bit of a hint there.
In my defense: I'm stupid.
One of these things is not like the other
Which one is the one you'd single out?
