Yup MAGA I sometimes want to give people the benefit of doubt but in reality they really are that dumb and transparently too eager to appear to have some hot take when they’re just regurgitating their favorite Russian-paid podcaster.

Is it really mental gymnastics if they just outright don’t know what’s going on in the world?

It is once they're directly shown/told and still dig a path back to what they already believed.

Also, from from being obsessed with the Epstein files to claiming the Epstein files are a hoax.

I went to school with someone who is now an evolutionary biologist... and a fundamentalist christian creationist... I can only imagine the cognitive dissonance

My mom had a drug induced psychotic break, got put on a mental hold and held in a psych ward for a week+. A few weeks after she got out, we were discussing what happened and I told her some of the things she said - "Elon Musk and Greg Abbott have orchestrated parts of my life for the last 20 years, all so I would be on [xxx] non-profit board and help with their agenda." She told me that would be "literally insane" to say. I said "yes, hence the police and mental hold and psych ward." She didn't believe me. She maintains years later she had to go to the psych ward to protect her from my dad.

Agree, the politicians are in public service. Meaning we don't have the obligation to defend our favored politicians

And yet if the economy does bad under a Democrat it's their fault and not the previous president.

Getting divorced after two decades because all.the.things. Then, once officially divorced, overlooking all.the.things and getting back together. And apart. And together again until - what next? So close to being free and moving forward.

Defending shitty writing when previously good TV shows go bad. Prime examples are Westworld and Severance, both of which had great first seasons only to shit the bed in Season 2. The mental gymnastics to try and “explain” the terrible writing and storytelling that I would read on Listnook threads during Season 2 of both those shows was mind-boggling.

My coworker said that it doesn't matter if you get remarried, in Heaven you'll be partnered with your first spouse because that's the only one God recognizes. I said wait, aren't you divorced and remarried? She said yes, but God understands her situation. Insufferable.

The belief that the end of stranger things was bad on purpose and theres a secret ending that is coming out and that a bunch of other companies even the superbowl are in on it. It's ludicrous.

Leftists camping with gays and the muslims that want to kill gays all at the same time.

CaldoniaEntara Apr 3, 2026 +15
The vast majoriry of Muslims do not want to kill gays. This can easily be discovered by actually speaking with Muslims. It is the extremists that want to kill gays. Kinda like how it's the extremist Christians that hate gays.

This is true and the person you’re responding to acknowledged that I think. The baffling thing is that these crazy “queers for Palestine” people are supporting Hamas and Hamas-aligned groups, which are unapologetically, murderously homophobic. It’s so weird and dumb.

Significant-Hat-1812 Apr 3, 2026 +6
Exactly, thank you.

SuperCrappyFuntime Apr 3, 2026 +3
Supporting the people of Gaza =/= supporting Hamas.
3
AmplifiedMango Apr 3, 2026 +5
This person is referring to people who support Hamas, though.
5
ParsnipFarmer676 Apr 3, 2026 +4
Weird how that doesn't apply in the other direction. Supporting Israel also doesn't = supporting Netanyahu, but folks seem to conveniently ignore that. Just as I love America but hate Trump & ICE. Both can be true.
4
AmplifiedMango Apr 3, 2026 +3
Yeah. And they ignore the fact that people who support Israel support the rights of Palestinians, freeing them from their terrible oppressive leadership. Pro-Israel =/= anti-Palestine.
3
ParsnipFarmer676 Apr 3, 2026 +3
Yep, that too. I have family & friends in Israel, and they pretty much all feel that way (as do I). Again, it's like being pro-USA and pro-immigrant rights.

thewilybanana Apr 3, 2026 +2
Never heard of queers for Palestine but are you sure they're not just against the bombing of innocent people and children?
2
AmplifiedMango Apr 3, 2026 +3
How could someone who supports Hamas be against the killing of innocent civilians…?

thewilybanana Apr 3, 2026 +1
Who's not against killing children?

ParsnipFarmer676 Apr 3, 2026 +4
I have to admit, this one baffles me too. It's even more baffling when LGBTQ+ folks themselves are literally going with the side that would oppress them - or worse. As a Jewish leftist, I feel like screaming "Do you not know WE are the ones who'd defend your rights???" I completely understand wanting peace, as I do too, and not supporting the current administrations in certain countries. But if you're choosing one side over the other, it's hard to explain why they're probably choosing the wrong one. ETA: I am NOT speaking on the Gaza situation specifically, so please don't come at me with that. I did address it below, if you really want to know my thoughts. But for those who aren't aware, the Muslims and Jews have existed and been in conflict much longer than 3 years. 🙄

Secret_g_nome Apr 3, 2026 +1
Its easy, human rights apply to Palestinians. Leftists often like immigration too and that brings in a lot of traditionalist religious folks. It comes from an honest desire to help human beings, even if they disagree with us. Besides, I don't know for a fact who are the violent extremists or bigots and who are the gays among them in hiding. But some folks need collective punishment and group associations because its easier and less nuanced than trying to actually treat humans as individuals. Its not a contradiction at all. We just have to actually believe that collective punishment is bad. Its actually being consistent not contradictory.

In this scenario, the "right one" is the one that had killed tens of thousands of kids with bombs and claimed they needed to do this to protect themselves?
0
ParsnipFarmer676 Apr 3, 2026 +2
Yeah, if you actually know the history of what the other sides have done too. Are we just pretending only one regime is doing horrible things to civilians? Again... I'm not saying to defend the CURRENT situation or administration, I'm talking about the people and cultures. Funny, I didn't even specify any countries. So you're assuming a lot.
