MODERATORS
I think the point of the cartoon is that some people genuinely are like this. They can't see the human in front of them without classifying them politically and deciding based on those metrics whether they're a good person or not. It's just "you're a liberal, and therefore I don't have to care about you."
Then they'll turn around and pretend to be a Christian or whatever.
And he would kill them once there's no one left.
Honestly Leftists are like this moreso than conservatives. Not saying whether that's wrong, but it's true
Depends on if the conservative in question is religious. If they usually frothing at the mouth for someone! to kill/destroy those they consider their enemies. Usually it's just "you wait until my god comes down here and smites you!" But occasionally they'll just go shoot up a night club or blow up an abortion clinic.
Don’t worry, the history books will remember the hippie mass shootings of ‘23. You know the ones.
Or is this one of those “intolerant of intolerance” things?
whoa whoa I wasn't talking about politically-motivated shootings. the comment i replied to just said "see the human". yeah, it's the paradox. i just meant that leftists dont put up with conservatives, but conservatives try to appeal to civility and looking like a good christian neighbor and whatnot. their actions are hateful, but they claim to look beyond political leaning when judging a person. i dont think leftists are as inclined to disregard conservatism. a judgment based on politics. maybe it's not so bad that the left does it way more.
can the left be intolerant of intolerance while simultaneously looking beyond political leanings and just "see the human"? I don't know. should they? I don't know. do they? I think most make a point not to.
