There's an idiot on a certain conservative Lemmy community who was saying that it was obviously the DEI program that caused the door to rip off of that 737 mid-flight, because it happened after the DEI program was implemented.
You know, instead of the bean-counters skimping on safety measures; it was clearly women and ethnic minorities at fault.
White Nationalists want to be led by the nose to their next target, because their political identity is entirely grievance-based.
Don't you think it's weird how COVID happened at some point in human history after we invented the wheel ?
You're onto something
Ban ice cream now! Won't somebody think of the children?!
I've checked out the conservative communites on Lemmy, and my god have I seen some astoundingly stupid takes. I'm not surprised. Throwaway, Momo and Wintermute in particular give me some major laughs, especially when Momo becomes immediately hostile towards any disagreement.
Yeah, Momo's constant impotent rage is a high point; I think my favorite though is how whenever Wintermute posts a source it always undercuts their argument if you read past the headline.
God it's so funny when they disappear up their own asses.
If only they'd stay there.
Haha, wishful thinking! Thankfully I rarely see them outside of their safe space, which is pretty ironic if you ask me.
It’s a tale as old as time… class warfare.
The GQP can provide cover for their corporate overlords. Why give the left the chance to blame blatant disregard for safety in favor of corporate profits when you can head off that conversation and blame black people.
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

And now here you are spreading his message even further without a second thought.
Ah yes, I forgot that ignoring a problem makes it go away.
That refutation of their idiotic complaint was definitely done without a second thought.
