My ghetto-rasied white sister-in-law that loves Motown & has worn cornrows, would quite literally beat her into a pulp for saying something this stupid within her reach.

And yes mouthy bigots deserve their ass beat, but go ahead & show the rest of us how you are so "progressive" that you stand up for the absolute worse of humanity.

Seems like a perfectly rational response.

I was being sarcastic; its fucking mental to brag about how easily your sister resorts to violence.

[-] Fisk400@feddit.nu 8 points 10 months ago

You dont think there might be some hyperbole in that claim?

[-] Apollo42@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Would that really make it less mental?

[-] Fisk400@feddit.nu 8 points 10 months ago

Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech.

Yes, It would be less mental because I am suggesting that the person doesn't necessarily mean it literally. You see sometime people say things that isn't true for dramatic effect.

[-] Apollo42@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Happily we no longer need to wonder as op confirmed this was not hyperbole.

You see sometime people say things that isn't true for dramatic effect.

An interesting thing to post to someone who declared they were being sarcastic. You know, when I said aomething that wasn't true for dramatic effect?

Maybe she needs therapy (and no I'm not defending Rowling, she is trash)

Edit: downvoting therapy, upvoting violence. You people would make your parents proud.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Maybe, but I doubt it would really do anything for her. She's actually not a bad person, but her upbringing means she's not the least bit concerned about going to jail after whipping a bad person's ass.

Yeah I am not saying anger issues make someone "bad" I'm just suggesting they can be dealt with better ways than brutalizing another humam

Rights have never been gained through peaceful protest. There has always had to be enough blood spilled to scare the ever living shit out of those in power for us to gain anything at all.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 3 points 10 months ago

which us is your current us ?

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

If it's a fucking bigot, who cares?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

There is a reason that millennia of philosophers have been against violence. Same reason people oppose the death penalty. Boils mostly down to: "what if you're wrong?"

[-] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

You dont respect my existence, you can expect my resistance.
