You're trying to be PC, but what you're explaining is how they are being dumb.

They have spent years watching it spread. Had it explained multiple times that touching the deceased spreads it. Seen it happen.

Yet still don't change their ways. That is pretty much the definition of stupidity. No understanding of cause and effect, with an unwillingness to learn. That's stupid. You don't have to be nice about everything and spare feelings all the time because you're scared to look hateful or whatever. But if you see people walk up to the face stabbing machine and get stabbed in the face, but then people still keep walking up to it thinking it won't happen to them, even when the big words on the wall say don't walk up here or you'll get stabbed in the face; they're dumb.

The mental gymnastics to be this bigoted is exhausting. The reality is you're posting this here, anonymously, because you know it's wrong, racist, and you don't want to be held accountable for it. You're a coward who feels safe to attack people who are suffering and because you don't have the ability to show even an ounce of compassion to others. It's sociopathic behaviour.

You seem awful full of yourself to presume what I say or don't say when not anonymous. You've done nothing but spatter off into accusations and name calling.... Anonymously. A child who's butt hurt because an anonymous person on the Internet thinks he's a pretentious idiot.

To call a country idiots isn't racism. It's closer to xenophobia, but calling them idiots and equating it to that is a bit of a stretch.

If you're going to just call someone names, at least try to get it close to right, stupid.

Did you really respond to an accusation of petty name-calling with petty name-calling?

At this point it does not matter who is right here, you should pack it up.

They never did presume anything like that.

The tolerant left, AMIRITE?????

Nah, that's not the reason we're butt hurt.. Think again, racist fuck.

The left are not tolerant of people who cause harm. Hope that clears that up.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think they're attacking anyone. Who's being attacked?

maybe but ignorance more so.

but that's all of humanity though yeah ?, be it the measles epidemics in the evangelical US (just vaccinate ffs), the entire developed world completely ignoring climate change (80% of emissions from the richest 20%) which will lead to the collapse of civilization (we've known this for 50 years or so, stop emitting CO2e), the stupidity of religion itself and on and on. That's what, 90% of us ? so no real behavioural difference here.
