he said yes. then i said, "i'm not gay." he pointed out to me that the female spouse made that statement a little obvious. i know i've done and said many stupid things in my life, but somehow that one sticks out as the winner.
we all had a good laugh about it.
That's a gay story
Why was wookies post deleted? If you're going to have a forum section called "politics" which totally misleads people in to believing it's anything other than a far left community moderated by someone on the far left who has clear disdain for anyone outside their ideology, shouldn't that at least be transparent? why hide his bias and disgust with half (at least) the population?
You have a far left community run by the far left posters. They mob and abuse anyone outside their ideology. The mods actively ban people who don't conform while allowing their ideological amigos endless rope to abuse others. It doesn't make any sense to label it a politics section or to mislead 2p2 members in to that area. It's silly enough, but why cover up his posts and attitude? If you are going to let this happen, shouldn't it at least be transparent?

It's a shame people have gone super cult like tribalism now (conservatives started this--and now they're complaining about the consequences and that's always annoying) and I don't think it's even possible as a society to get out of it (without say a war).
This polarization is bad, yes. The "they started it" game is silly but also false. The tribalism and intolerance we see on 2p2 mirrors what we have seen in western culture. The left went down the road of identity politics and intolerance in society and on 2p2. Identity politics always ends up bad. When the right does it, it takes the shape of racial identity and superiority. Actual conservatives and liberals believe more in individualism. This is how you know the leftists can't even pretend to be liberal.
Going back to the well. Same thread. What does race have to do with it?

Stuff like this is spread through left wing media

It's part of the ideology for those participating in identity politics on the far left. The politics forum is moderated through that lens
