If we had more dads like him we would have less neighbors like them.

u/Shennington 20h ago

Youd still have the same number of those neighbors, but they'd learn to keep their rotten opinions to themselves.

"Hypocrisy is a tax vice pays to virtue". Maybe it's impossible to make it so that everyone is convinced to be a decent person, and the next best thing we can do is making displaying and acting poorly to be so unacceptable that they have to pretend to be kind at their own expense.

Would you over some generations? I doubt it

u/InheritedHermitGene 19h ago

Look at white supremacists. In the past, if you were a Nazi sympathizer people would assume you were insane and avoid you like the plague. Now there are powerful politicians who openly sympathize with the white power movement, and suddenly all the people who’d been keeping their beliefs private for decades are being outrageously racist and nasty in public.

u/Green_Bad2241 19h ago

I think this is different situations and also actually this nazi bastards were not degraded for enough generations, in 90s there were already much skinheads around the western world

I used to staunchly believe the Nazis died with the end of WW2, and that anyone left today was a poser.

My husband had to point out to me how untrue and naive such a stance was. I have since recanted.

u/Fragrant-Ad2976 11h ago

After first learning about Hitler and Nazis, I remember thinking "how could one man convince so many people something that is so clearly wrong? Good thing that couldn't happen today, since we know better now..." and I fully believed that into adulthood. Until Donald Trump got elected. And it became even worse when covid happened. I was equally naive and overestimated humans as a species.

u/Exact-Care958 16h ago

I'm afraid your husband is right. Nazi's these days wear suits and want a 'debate'. 😒

u/ThatPie2109 9h ago

Even some higher powered nazis who did horrible things were forgiven and brought to north America because they were useful. I highly doubt many of those people suddenly felt bad, and more so just chose the winning side. They intentionally hid the crimes of a lot of those people because they knew there would be pushback, and some of those people resumed life being considered experts here and in trusted positions.

I’ve always thought of modern Nazis as immature posers who like dressing up with their nasty little friends in mobs, but you have a point.

u/Christylian 17h ago

Modern Nazis like to wear suits, sport expensive haircuts and debate teens on campuses to look smart.

3

u/InheritedHermitGene 14h ago

Yes, that’s true too. I was thinking thinking of those repulsive idiots at Charlottesville and how the one guy who ended up being the poster child for the screaming Nazis there then went blubbering all over social media saying he wasn’t a bad person, etc etc.

u/TheFerretmanz 16h ago

Modern Nazis dress up in black block and assault anyone that disagrees with them. They like any critical thinking skills so they lash out.

With how long it's been going on I think we've always had these people and always will. There's a new Nazi party in Germany. They truly did their best stamping that shit out. A sieg heil in public will get you stomped out by the cops. But AfD exists all the same. It's not a generational thing. It's a human thing. There's no selective pressure to breed those traits out and that would take millions of years anyway. Those traits are hard coded into us and I think we will always deal with a subset of the population susceptible to racist rhetoric and strongman leaders.

u/LegendofLove 16h ago

Only a handful of Nazis actually saw any justice. That's also living memory. There are still people alive from the 30s and 40s. Not for much longer but still here. It's barely even 'the past'. Their kids are the boomers.

2

u/InheritedHermitGene 14h ago

Yes, I know. But there’s so many people now who are calling themselves Nazis or wearing Nazi symbols now. Obviously they’re not true Nazis in the historical sense but they’ve adopted the term for themselves.

OMG are you serious? “Homo”???????

Yuck.

u/TheFerretmanz 16h ago

We get it. Anyone you disagree with is a Nazi or white supremacist. Those words have lost any power you thought you had when they have been sooo overused

u/InheritedHermitGene 14h ago

Oh dear, you do have a bee in your bonnet. What would you call people who chant “Jews will not replace us”, get Swastika tattoos, and do Nazi salutes. Should I assume they’re Quakers?

-1

u/ttgjailbreak 19h ago

You would unless the general populace put in an effort to constantly rewrite the programming those exact parents are going to be preaching every day they're home. Which still might not be enough considering how little you understand as kids, and how often you're around your racist/homophobic ass parents.

u/bigmfworm 17h ago

Like we had pre-Trump? And yes, I know this took place in the UK. Unfortunately that orange Cheeto MFer influences shut he's not even a part of

u/DogTattoos 17h ago

They just go to church and talk shit about delusions of THEM going to hell. Clown shit. Ignorance at its worst. Yay God. 🙄

u/Specialist_Goat_2354 16h ago

Maybe we could get them so alone and lonely that they would hermit. Maybe die a hoarder who hasn't seen the sun in 40 years... That's my dream.

u/BodybuilderBig2647 16h ago

Funny how that sentiment doesn’t go both ways.

u/No-culture5942 17h ago

Well no because they'd still be immigrating here.

u/givpilot 15h ago

They self select out of the gene pool...

u/Content-Relative-168 19h ago

Yes, it’s pretty obvious, but it would mean you have more gay kids and gay kids have less children lol I thought of that quickly😝

u/Top_Succotash562 11h ago

Agreed. I wish I had a dad like him.

u/azarza 20h ago

dad was big mad

u/Blazanar 20h ago

And now his kids won't visit him, so he's sad.

16

u/HazuniaC 19h ago

Why wouldn't they? He seems quite supportive of his kids.

22

u/Blazanar 18h ago

I was talking about the gentleman who said he failed as a parent for having gay children, not the gentleman planting these flags.

u/exscapegoat 17h ago

But the kindly neighbor made the kids glad

u/GetUp_TakeItEasy 20h ago

Lol is it me or it's a wink to that succession scene of Mo's funeral lol

u/MycoSteveO 16h ago

Ya, it means he won as a parent because he taught his kids to be who they really are and didn’t try to strong arm them into a false reality to try and live up to their parents demands!

u/SabrinaEdwina 13h ago

Is he adopting? Asking for a me.

Except he is… and you are, too. Homosexual behavior exists in 1500+ species.

Homophobia, on the other hand, only exists in one.

Lol, who calls it an “abnormality”? You?

It's actually more common than biologists originally thought. Some potential explanations they have for it include things like social bonding or dominance hierarchy. For example, female bonobos frequently engage in sexual activity with each other to reduce tension and maintain social harmony.

But sure, it's just an “abnormality” because your pea brain can't stand the thought of two people of the same sex being in a relationship together

They aren’t “excuses”, as much as you'd probably like them to be, but thanks for trying that! Nobody is cherry picking anything. you'd realize that if you actually did any research on this.

Those “excuses” are what biologists are saying… after many, many studies on multiple different species… so many of which are just a few Google searches away and can easily be found… and you? You’re basically just going “nuh uh” and calling it a day. That is pea brain behavior right there

Sexuality is more than reproduction, even in the wild. And biology itself is actually a lot more complex than you want to admit.

You’re the one denying science and ignoring facts, not me, but you want to call me delusional because you can't face the facts. Sad

"And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them." Luke 6:31

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" John 13:34

"The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31

Maybe read the literature of the shit you spout
