    What does succeeding financially and working on yourself have to do with being called a bootlicker? My understanding of what would get you called a bootlicker is sucking up to authority. Goddammit rightwingers and their strawmen. Same with the male loneliness epidemic crowd. Just boxing shadows. There's so many good arguments for being conservative, or for a male (and female) loneliness epidemic, why you gotta make up things the other side do and say about you?

    I don't think he's lying. I've seen people get called a bootlicker for things unrelated to authority, by people that don't know what they are talking about on reddit, a lot.

    parent root
    -7 points mayrice

    A lot? Really? Maybe my subreddits are too "normie", but I think most people understand what the term bootlicker means. What I'm trying to say is I hate when people take imaginary caricatures and apply them to huge amounts of people. Which happens a lot on social media (not just by rightwingers to be fair). I'm not saying that there's not some rare unicorn that fits the caricature, but it's such a lazy way to argue and take a position. I'm aware I'm on a circlejerk subreddit and probably making this argument in the wrong place, but it's just been annoying me a lot lately. Like if the best you can do to support your worldview is make shit up about people who disagree with you, maybe you're the problem. Sorry for venting, maybe I've been spending a bit too much time on the gender wars subreddits. It's especially bad there.

    parent root
    10 points potatotaxi

    A lot? Really?

    Yeah man, go to the complaints subreddit and sort any anti right winger post by controversial.

    Like if the best you can do to support your worldview is make shit up about people who disagree with you, maybe you're the problem.

    I agree, I think it really takes away from what would be a good argument when you label a large group of people, something that the vast majority are not. My biggest peeve is the whole "righties wanna kill all trans/gay people!!!" which I unironically see a shit ton of.

    Sorry for venting,

    All good dude. You're being perfectly reasonable and I respect that.

    parent root
    0 points Either_Caregiver2268

    Your pet peeve is misunderstanding the argument.

    When they say “they are killing trans people”, they’re saying denying them gender-affirming care is effectively killing them because of the suicide rates. They’re not talking about literal murder.

    The only disingenuous part of the argument is the implication that right-wingers would happily see these people commit suicide, which isn’t true.

    Are you new to Reddit? Every time these people, bitch and complain about their lives and think they’re entitled to someone else’s money or assets, if you mention working on themselves to improve their own life, you get called a bootlicker. Just the mere thought of working hard to improve your own life apparently means you worship the corporate overlords.😂😂

    Okay

    The concepts that the United States or in many cases the world are ending are banal and pedestrian. They're not worth the effort, measured in time or actual work, to read and debunk.

    The mere concept that we're troglodytes is hilarious given that Doomerism predicates on clickbait titles, herd mentality, and populism. A Doomer is almost like a lemming, though they at least have the excuse of having a brain the size of a pebble and a complete lack of technology they could use to realize the world isn't imploding around them.

    While I know this is just more Reddit witch hunting, trying to call anyone uneducated and in fact simply inferior is so disingenuous and poor faith that they were in a far more moral position by just saying nothing instead of ripping away the mask and revealing they're actually a CNN and a Fox anchor in a trench coat.

    Honestly, I'm still fairly new to reddit, especially participating, but this is the only group I really like so far. The people here explain and defend financial literacy and the need for good choices. They push back against fashionable but dumb trends that are mostly buzzwords and insults.

    I was actually banned from the "serious conversations" forum for providing serious answers to a question. They just happen to disagree with the trans ideology so I walled called a bigot, summarily dismissed, and then suspended from reddit all together when I argued.

    The Troglodytes are the ones that run around with their hair on fire vomiting outrage and favorite buzzwords.
