  • Dude, I’m not really here to have a historical debate on DEI. Nothing I say is gonna change your mind. You think all conservatives are against equality, I have said they are not. Just a quick search shows information that backs BOTH of our responses, so this debate is pointless.

    Just a quick search at fox news shows:

    Democrats have lost their way on women’s sports | Fox News March 18, 2025 — Their alarmist strategy opposing a straightforward bill to define female athletes for the purpose of enforcing equal opportunity under Title IX …

    FaviconFox News CHRISTOPHER RUFO: The campaign for colorblind equality just … January 20, 2025 — The polling data indicated that Americans supported a “colorblind society” over a "race-

    Not to mention major republicans have shown it: Ken Mehlman, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, has been a prominent advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. He lobbied Republican legislators to support same-sex marriage and argued that such support aligns with conservative principles of individual freedom and limited government.

    Not to mention all the black republicans and black republican supporters. Gay republican and gay republican supporters. Minority republicans and minority republican supporters.

    And I know you can find just as many articles that show they don’t.

    But the mere fact that there are plenty of examples to prove both of our points shows that not ALL republicans are againts DEI. I’m republican and I am not against DEI.

    Move on. This argument will go nowhere.

    I also know that if a republican left a fucking brick, with nazi symbols and words on it, on a car in a Jewish neighborhood, Lemmy would call that person a Nazi. You know this too.

    I’m saying that anyone, regardless of party, who leaves a fucking brick, with nazi symbols and words on it, on a car in a Jewish neighborhood, is a Nazi.

    Move on. I’m not changing my mind. Neither are you.





  • What does being black or Indian ad etc have to do with being conservative, you keep merging race into it when I didn’t mention that in this context.

    Because you didn’t think conservatives believed in DEI. Dude, conservatism is DEI.

    And that is, conservatives use a specific translation of the Bible to censor gay people and trans people.

    SOME do, not all. Just like there are some liberals that use specific translations of the Bible. You do realize that not all conservatives are religious, and not all liberals are non-religious, right?

    So when I or anyone hears of a conservative supports all three forms of dei, it’s hard to believe.

    Plenty of things are true whether you believe them or not. Do you seriously think Trump and Musk read the bible and are religious?! LMAO Come on, man. Give me a break.

    How old are you?



  • I know for a fact that an amount of conservatives follow the Christian Bible.

    And I know for a fact that an amount of liberals follow the Christian Bible. 10 commandments, literally tells them what to do and not to do and they take the whole thing so seriously.

    And plenty of liberals are muslim, baha’i, jewish, orthodox, Buddhist, etc.

    What about all the atheist conservatives? Or the Buddhist conservatives. Or the gay conservatives. Or the black conservatives. Or the indian conservatives, etc. How would you explain that if all conservatives are just christians who only follow the bible?! lol

    You’re young. You haven’t even seen close to much of the real world yet. You’re getting most of your info from Lemmy, Reddit, and streamers. That’s just not reflective of most of the US.

    Which is why Trump won, and you all were so surprised. Because you just don’t know how most of the US really is.

    It’s just like when Luigi shot the healthcare exec. If you followed and believed Lemmy, you’d think the whole world was gonna rise up and stand against healthcare and rich people!!

    It didn’t happen. LMAO There was no revolution. There will be no revolution. Lemmy is just not representative of reality. So when Lemmy is telling you that all conservatives are against DEI, they’re wrong. And sometimes just outright lying to sway people like you.

    I’m not here to change your mind on shit. Just do your own research. Listen to different news programs, both liberal AND conservative.

    If you listen to both, and stay in the middle, you’ll realise a lot of the misinformation is put out the to make sure people don’t agree. lol.








  • Of course you’re saying that. Lemmy has 4 fav words to describe scenarios that they disagree with: Nazi, Fascist, Sealioning, Strawman.

    If you are having such a hard time reading half a page (not 18 pages) of text refuting what you say, then I can’t help you. I know that’s sooooo much reading.

    Because hey, it’s not a Minecraft map. I understand it’s hard for ya.

    Let me TL;DR it for ya: Shit is ok when YOU do it, but not ok when the other side does it. Classic Lemmy.

    Hey, now throw the other 3 lemmy terms at me. See if that changes my mind! Go on… I’ll help ya. Nazi (tho I didn’t write nazi stuff on a rock and leave it in a Jewish neighborhood like the Nazi in the article), Fascist (tho I didn’t write nazi stuff on a rock and leave it in a Jewish neighborhood like the Nazi in the article), and Sealioning.

    Wait, was this too many words for ya too? Oopsie!





  • Yes, I would and do call it “low-life criminals being terrorists vandalizing private property,” which is what the courts will say too. Dude just threw away his life and it didn’t change anything. Now he’s gonna have a criminal record for rest of his life and in 10 years, he’ll realize how cringe he was for doing this.

    Just like you’ll realize all this Lemmy edge posting you are doing, will be laughable too. Because NONE of it is going to change the Trump presidency. NONE of this will change rich people getting richer.

    All that’s going to happen, is that you will get older, then realize how much time you wasted arguing about useless shit on Lemmy while you thought it was going to change.

    And then you can look up Luigi and realize that he’s still in prison, and that he regrets what he did, because he was young, dumb, and impulsive.

    And he’s also one of the rich people who Lemmy despises so much, Spicy L.

    LMAO







  • Probably wouldn’t be celebrated

    Meh, I think Lemmy would celebrate. Look at how much they celebrate Luigi. And that dude committed murder!

    But back to subject of article, I think these protestors who get caught, pretty much regret their choice immediately.

    I protested something when I was in college. I was protesting them shutting down a diversity program that I was actually co-lead of. I 100 percent expected to get arrested for it and even had plans for my mugshot. lol

    Nothing happened tho. No arrest. And the program wasn’t saved. My point being, if you are gonna do something like this, then proudly take the heat. Don’t hide your face and say you were just going through a rough time like this woman did.




  • I’m saying you would normally call your sort of post virtue signaling, because the only time your virtue signaling ass cares about a hate crime is when a liberal does it.

    Alright, let’s go with your logic. You’re calling this “virtue signaling.” But remember how, a year ago, when a conservative did anything involving Nazi imagery, and people called it out, conservatives would say, “You’re overreacting, it’s just virtue signaling.” And you liberals said, “Nope, this is real. These people are Nazis and fascists, and calling it virtue signaling is just making excuses.”

    So now let’s flip it. Imagine someone placed a brick with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a car in a Jewish neighborhood. But instead of it being a Tesla, let’s say it had a Biden/Harris bumper sticker. Would any of you call that “virtue signaling”?

    Hell no. You’d say it was a hate crime, and you’d be rightfully outraged. And if a conservative showed up and told you to calm down and stop “virtue signaling,” you’d tear them apart for defending Nazi behavior.

    But now that it’s a Tesla, suddenly your side is calling it virtue signaling?

    If it was wrong to minimize it as virtue signaling back then, it’s still wrong now. You don’t get to flip the rules just because it’s your team doing it.

    In fact, just recently on Lemmy I have seen many MANY comments saying, “If someone shows nazi imagery, or if someone supports someone doing nazi imagery, then they’re a nazi.”

    Well here is someone who painted a rock with nazi imagery. And placed on a car in a jewish neighborhood. Using Lemmy logic, that person is a Nazi. Probably a fascist too.

    And brah, if you support that person…well you know what Lemmy says about people supporting Nazi’s…

    Hey, here’s an idea: How about not painting Nazi symbols on anything. Ever. For any reason. Try that.

    Now in your defense, I do agree with your last part. If she just left a piece of paper, no nazi imagery, and just called the car owner a tool, and said she disagreed with Teslas, that’d be ok. I mean, she’d be a bitch, but I’d be ok with it.

    Nazi imagery is never cool. Regardless of context or “protesting.” It’s a hate symbol.
