Let's be real: they're terrified that they might be forced to be near poor people, minorities, gays, and mentally ill folk.

Bingo. I've talked to many of them online and it always boils down to this. It's never that they're actually in any danger. It's just they feel scared. They drive their big trucks because it makes them feel safe.

Meanwhile puny me rides the subway daily.

They're weak, scared, and pathetic. Too xenophobic to interact with anyone or anything outside their coddled circles that might make them feel """uncomfortable""".

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Might surprise you, but on feeling scared: I once heard that a slim majority of SUV drivers were women. In some ways it makes sense - if they’d normally be vulnerable walking the streets alone, a less vulnerable vehicle gives them a feeling of safety.

That's nice, no medication I've found yet lets me ride public transportation without constantly freaking out from human proximity but I bet it is just so pleasant to have a normal brain

Their “News ^tm^” is constantly telling them cities are hellholes full of junkies and murderers and murderous junkies.

Most of them have no clue how the world outside their pickup truck windows works.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

or they could be, like me, mentally ill folk who really cannot handle being forced to be around other people

But generalizations are fun aren't they!

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

You arent the main character bruh

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

Everyone is the main character of their story.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

His story is other peoples stories are the same as his story.

Every single conservative man is mentally ill?

EDIT: to anyone reading this, the person I'm replying to is very clearly a troll. Just read their post history. Do not engage! (:

LOL

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Add a little nuance to your argument and I'll engage

Also you didn't parse the sentence correctly, I was specifically referring to MY mental illnesses

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Add a little nuance & good faith to your conclusion on my initial statement, and I'll engage, too! Maybe you should re-read things to nake sure you're not misunderstanding something.

— Sincerely, someone who is also struggles with mental illness, including severe anxiety & agoraphobia.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing in my statement said conservatives, you made that up out of bad faith so why are you demanding good faith now?

Why cripple myself with rules you refuse to follow?

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago

.....did you not read the text of which this entire post is about, or...?

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Um, that's not my post. That's not even from lemmy.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[-] anachrohack@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

One of these things is not like the other

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Which one is the one you'd single out?
