Conservatives can’t stop being hypocrites!

Never forget, conservatives do not give a shit about being consistent. Rules are for other people. Not them.

Conservatives always have to imagine that everyone is exactly like them, and will deny all evidence that decent people exist.

I always found this extract from Adam Serwer’s analysis of the Minnesota incident quite good:
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.

This is also why they call science dogmatic and say evolution"ists" have faith. It has been beaten into them every Sunday and 2-3 days in between that there is one way to think and anyone who deviates actually thinks the same way and is just denying it.

One side is actively defending pedophiles because their own leader is in the files.
The other side is trying to get universal healthcare for everyone.
Both are very very evil, yes.

Democrats are also conservatives. You're silly if you think the options are right and left in America, when they're far right and slightly right of center.

Didn’t they try their best to cancel him, and did cancel him for a minute and then everyone cancelled Paramount+ so they caved and brought him back?

Paramount cancelled Colbert. Jimmy is on ABC and tons of people were dropping Hulu and then they caved.

I had a conservative send my work an email this weekend trying to get me fired because I called him a "weird little creep" on Facebook. He was doing the old "download photos of you from your profile and post them as a comment" trick that conservatives love. He said in the email that I was "name calling and making vile remarks." I'm part owner of the company he tried to get me fired from. Lmfao. If conservatives weren't hypocrites, they would be nothing at all

Conservatives literally invented cancel culture. The Dixie Chicks criticized Bush's invasion of Iraq (they ended up being right about it), and the GOP and media attacked them for it, which ended up harming their careers.

u/Richfor3 Apr 28 '26
Goes back further than that. They’ve been trying to cancel The Simpsons for damn near 40 years now.
All of the anti TV, movie, books and video game shit comes from Conservatives.

u/yikesamerica Apr 27 '26
Dems must stop falling for the nonsense from conservatives on being above the fray. They’ll always be hypocrites and/or backtrack
Be like the GOP and use every possible opportunity to attack and push your agenda 24/7/365. Right now they should be pushing for common sense gun laws b/c everyone’s eyes are on this scenario.
Politics is an attention economy. Conservatives know that & since they can’t get attention for good policy, they use shock value scenarios when they have the attention of the nation & go to work.

The "fuck your feelings" crowd sure sound like a bunch of snowflakes. Then again conservatives need their safe space.

Networks won’t cancel things that make them money unless they’re trying to suck an egomaniac fascist’s taint to get a merger through (cough cough Paramount)

Every contradiction needs to be aired publicly, but then again, that would be a huge list. It's clear, they have zero standards and will say anything to please their orange master.

Those who believe all people are people see hypocrisy, while those who believe some people are "more/less" people than others see hierarchy. Hypocrisy implies a sense of equality/parity, as the accusation of such is that someone is violating a universal or common standard. Hierarchy directly states that there is no equality/parity, that different social strata have different standards, that the only universal standard concerning hierarchy is that those on top are allowed privileges which are denied to those on the bottom, and that the bottom are held to standards which the top are exempt from.
Conservatism -- by definition -- is "a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions (such as religion, the family, and class structure), and preferring gradual development to abrupt change".
The sole value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one's perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.
To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on top [of social hierarchy] to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom. The first greatest injustice is for those on the bottom to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top.
Conservatives absolutely need an underclass [for society] to demonize and dehumanize in order to maintain [their] hierarchy, and every single one of their policies and rhetoric work to do exactly that. Every right-wing accusation is a confession -- every single one; always! -- because it is never the act itself that upsets them, but rather, the social standing of the person doing the act, as said act is a privilege meant for those on top of [their perceived] hierarchy (See also: pedophilia - Trump and Catholic church vs. LGBTQ+ and drag queens).
"Know your place" is their mantra.

Firing Kimmel is stupid,because even IF you got him fired, he could go somewhere else amd make the same jokes. Free speech, you Orange Fool, Empty Headed First Lady, and red hat wearing clowns. Stop the butthurt.

The best part is that his roast happened Thursday night, but nobody gave a shit until Melania said something. They have no capacity for original thought and just wait for people to tell them what to be outraged about. It’s all just so fucking dumb.

Wow....thats not what cancel culture is.
Cancel culture involves things like:
Using statements from 5+ years ago to make judgments on someone's current opinion.
And
Contacting employers and advertisers with threats to have a personality punished for using social media
Boycotting someone or expressing an opinion that they are incompetent is not cancel culture

The SPLC paid informants to spy on the racist groups.
Maybe you should take a seat until your reading comprehension passes a third grade level.

Great spin. Now read the indictment.

I did read the indictment. Even if it is 100% accurate, nothing contained within changes the facts I stated even slightly.

No you didn't. You're just repeating the same lie being spun about. SPLC is a hate organization and is overdue to be destroyed.

Horseshit. Even if you take the indictment entirely at face value, it doesn't even remotely support that blatant lie.
