I’ll start: “Shoving x down our throats”
the amount of people who have told me i’m one of the good ones because “at least you don’t shove gayness down our throats,” or “i’m fine with it if they dont shove it down our throats” has made me cringe whenever i hear that phrase used in any context, even harmlessly. how about you guys?
That perfectly captures the mindset of the “facts and logic” crowd. Believing that cruelty is good actually is the mature smart adult in the room position. It doesn’t matter whether they’ve studied anything or not, believing in cruelty makes tgem smart. You could have every credential and relevent degree imaginable, but if your position is anything approaching “maybe cruelty is not good” you’re a bleeding heart, emotional, idealist, childish, untealistic, etc.
