I give up. You are simply waaaaay to ingrained with trodden paths to be able to look left or right. You only know forwards, and any deviation feels like an insult to you. I don't have a problem with every form of conservatism, but the one that can't explain itself and simply does things because they were "always" done is dangerous.
I know that you are sure that you're progressive and shit, but you're not. You are hung up in old ways that you don't question, and hate on those who do.
By the way, I have a buddy who doesn't use deo. It's okay for me. It stinks a bit when he comes, but I forget about after a few moments, and from then on it's okay. He asked once if it is okay for me, and I replied that it is, and that I think it is cool that he does what he wants despite social pressure.
And you're suggesting that this is wrong?
Translation: "I don't mind if people fart in my presence, in fact I have a friend who farts near me and I think it is cool that he just does what he wants despite social pressure. Are you suggesting that this is wrong?"
Dude. Are you seriously suggesting that people can't be fine with farts or something?
I never thought that people THIS square would be found on Lemmy.
"Wow you don't think people who stink are cool? You don't think they're rebels against societal pressure? What a square!"
Ok now I'm done replying to you and your foolishness in this thread. I think you misinterpreted what leftists meant when we talk about revolting.
If you think not using deo is "revolting", then that's exactly the problem. But, it is as you say, lets stop talking about this. We won't find common ground here. It's all wrong, and there are no opinions about this. Of course.
True. One might even say this discussion stinks.
