You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him.

[-] doingless@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

Well he lost so history remains intact.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago

Idk, I've been flipping through this history book written in 1941 and it says he did a lot of winning so how bad could he be?

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Isn't it "the less" you care for him?

🫣

I'll show myself out.

RIP indeed, dude was the funniest comedian to me. I went and watched every possible clip of Norm available online right before he passed. The YouTube channel I'm Not Norm has 'em all

Fuck Youtube, use the Internet Archive instead. Here is the link to watch all the Norm podcasts with NO ADS:

I'm not norm is a legend

[-] clearleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

At least now we know it really wasn't Norm.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Norm was fairly right-wing and said some pretty unacceptable things., but he was an undeniably talented comedian and I'm glad we have his body of work to remember him by.

Mr. MacDonald had this to say about the sentencing: "In Nebraska, a man was sentenced for killing a female crossdresser [sic] who had accused him of rape and two of her friends. Excuse me if this sounds harsh, but in my mind, they all deserved to die."

In case you don’t know where to look. This (and other comments) is well documented and plenty discussed. I don’t know if I’d say he’s right wing nor would I say he’s left wing. He was definitely bigoted and sexist.

Anti-trans is hard to point left or right because pro-trans is centre-right

But I’d say violence against them is a right wing opinion

The rest of his views could be left though

[-] Strawberry 22 points 8 months ago

pro-trans is centre-right

huh?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

People on the left are gender abolitionists (xx and xy is all gender means and everyone is an individual do it never goes past that) you can transition but that doesn’t make you less of a man/woman

Obviously trans doesn’t fit in that but on the left they blame society and want to change it so there aren’t any trans.

Then you get the centre right like this website where they talk about gender identity and being trans because “born in wrong body”

Then you go right/far right and they blame the individuals

I feel like people here just associate left with utopia so any opinions they have must be leftist

As far what’s right/just that’s up to the individual and not really worth getting into because people online aren’t going to be swayed one way or the other

You’re probably in that group

[-] minibyte@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

If you lump folks into groups it’s difficult to learn about the individual.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

“Group of people here think everything they do is left”

Person comes in

“No! That’s leftist because I believe in it!”

What do i need to learn about them before deciding if they are like that?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 9 points 8 months ago

I would like to tell you as a leftist myself that that is not what I nor anyone I've ever met believes

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

You can be left and have right wing opinions

You’re just not leftist on this issue

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

thank you for explaining my own ideology to me

also please note "nor anyone I've ever met"

genuinely what is your source for leftists believing this, or anyone right of candace Owens believing in gender being determined by anything other than biological sex

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

The right doesn’t believe in science, they just use leftist arguments to appear rational when arguing in bad faith

Their beliefs come from religion and conformity

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 8 months ago

I completely fail to see how that is relevant to (what they call) the trans debate

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

anyone right of candace Owens believing in gender being determined by anything other than biological sex

[-] zxk@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

He shouldn't have had so many cheeseburgers from his restaurant

[-] TheScaryDoor@startrek.website 25 points 8 months ago

Well it is because the bad guys were real jerks!

[-] zxk@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
