I used to always ask of an old conservative friend,"How do you deal with your side's hypocrisy. Talking as much about personal freedom as taking away personal freedom." Now, this was decades ago, when you could still have rational discussions with the wrong side. I mean, compared to today's wacko world. Usually, their answer would fall back eventually to the bible. So I guess, not really rational at all I suppose.

remember when r/conspiracy wasnt filled with maga/political shit, and you could actually have semi-rational discussion about other stuff. before politics infilitrated the sub. it was pretty much before the pandemic like around the time when trump took power the first time.

And verily I sayeth unto thee, that when you receive chlamydia upon the left cheek, turn the right cheeketh unto thee wherefore to receive the blessed yeast unto thine other cheek. And so the Lord spoketh unto thine lips, and she received the blessed herpes, and this, as it was written, was pleasing unto Him.
