    Bro was mad that they didn’t speak English

    English isn’t even the official language of the US

    Idk why people get offended at others that are able to speak other languages or dont speak theirs.

    Like even hearing someone speak Spanish to their family in the line at a store that has nothing to do with them, they just get irrationally frustratedfor no reason.

    Only reasons have to be insecurity of knowing just one language or just straight up racism.

    Its so odd.

    whats your point man

    You went out of your way to say “English isn’t even the official language of the US”

    Implying that another language is

    Again, some states have declared English the official language of their state, this has not been done for any other language.

    The mental gymnastics are crazy

    If you think Elon is far right than this conversation is a lost cause

    I think you just consider any conservative believes to be “far right”

    Elon Musk was reposting Scott Adam’s’ racist rant and pushing talking points that Stanford med was racist and sexist towards white men because most of the program was Asian and white women. 😂😂😂😂😂 these are all far right talking points.

    Actually I’d say I leaned towards more conservative until recently.

    “English isn’t the official language of the US” doesn’t imply that another one is. It’s just to say that all the conservatives who harass folk for not speaking English in America are f***ing idiots

    Lmao Elon has enough money and power to get blog sites and news media to say he’s a libertarian/moderate

    You say this as if there is another official language.

    The country simply doesn’t have one (although some states have picked English as the official language of their state)

    If there was an official language adopted by the US it’s very very very clear it would be English…..

    You’re putting too much authority on an “if”

    English isn’t the official language, and there are entire communities that don’t speak English. Getting pissed at people for not speaking English is your fault, and not being able to speak common second languages in this country (Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, Vietnamese etc) is your fault as well

    You don’t have to know him personally to know what he thinks lol. His stance is his stance and that’s fine. Him acting like Elon doesn’t display far right ideologies is just silly.

    We live in a world where you believe your assumption is fact over someone else’s

    All we can go off is what he shares publicly which is not at all “far right”

    I wonder why people are so polarized these days.
    I previously said I think it’s social media, and how it dehumanizes the people you disagree with, which I still think is part of it, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that.
    Maybe the constant trauma that we keep getting put through over and over recently?
    Covid, trump, 9/11 and other constant terror attacks, hate crimes increasing in frequency, opioid epidemic, etc.
    We been in serious s*** for decades now.
    I have a theory that it’s frying our brains slowly, and that that’s also contributing to our in ability to see things in a less extreme way, but I don’t have any scientific backing to that, just a theory.

    That’s how usually think about it. Live and let live 🤷‍♂️. I got my thoughts on a number of conservatives but tf am I gonna do? Same thing with far left folks and certain left folks. Argue with them all the time? Complain all the time? Isn’t going to help me lol.

    There are agendas to it but who the heck knows what’s going on at this point, because news media has gotten so toxic. They got everyone worked up over misinformation and opinions, so we’re mad at each other. It wasn’t like this before web 2.0.
    We’ve been spiraling out of control, and I’m just waiting for the overton window to shift to the point where the damage is so undeniable, participating in or enabling the vitriol becomes the true “crime.” Not believing the “wrong” things or liking the “wrong” person.

    Regardless social media isn’t irl. If I heard someone talk like the lyrical miracle jumbo I hear on Twitter like exercising is fatphobic in real life, I’d think they’re crazy too. But I haven’t

    Theres literally no rational reason to be upset at someone speaking another language or not being native in yours.

    Does that imply that the world IS currently ending?

    I think it’s because one side is forever fighting a battle that stands on white supremacy and patriarchy
    And the other against being a victim to it
    Trump and the right gave them new life unfortunately

    No, it implies that something else would be the end of the world whether that’s current or in the future

    This isn’t the “gotcha” you thought it would be

    But I suppose that implies there IS a gotcha you thought there would be
