There's no hate mob in Parler, they're all conservatives, why would they hate each other.

There's no hate mob in Parler, they're all conservatives, why would they hate each other.
- indigo945 6y agoBecause at this point, there is a sharp divide between conservatives who care about fiscal responsibility and family values, and "conservatives" who care about unmasking (((conspirators))) in pizza restaurants. Although to be fair, the platform will likely attract nothing but the latter.
- spacemanmatt 6y agoNot sharp enough to say, vote for a better candidate
- Rick1 6y agoGiven that both sides managed to provide senile old men I don't think anyone is in a position to point fingers.
- spacemanmatt 6y ago"both sides" eh?
- Rick1 6y agoBoth sides.
- JumpCrisscross 6y ago> There's no hate mob in Parler, they're all conservatives, why would they hate each other. There’s no hate in the KKK. They are all white. Why would they hate each other? See the problem with this construction?
- Rick1 6y agoEverybody likes the "in-group" and hates the rest. Although the word hate tends to mainly be used about other people.
- throwaway29399 6y agoAbsolutely not. You are implying that hating people based on something they cannot control (e.g. ethnicity) is normal.
- Rick1 6y agoActually that's not what I said it all. The concept on in/out-group can be completely arbitrary, e.g. assigned by flipping a coin. The principle still holds. That said, since you bring it up, the history of humanity is largely the history of war between different ethnic groups. So yes, hating people based on ethnicity has been the norm for most of human history. It's still largely the case in varying degrees in different parts of the world.
- throwaway29399 6y ago> since you bring it up Nice try. > So yes, hating people based on ethnicity has been the norm for most of human history There you go. And yet history proves you wrong, starting with the roman empire and the middle ages.
- Rick1 6y ago> Nice try. You did. Right here: "e.g. ethnicity". That's a quote from you. I mentioned in-group, you added ethnicity. > There you go. And yet history proves you wrong, starting with the roman empire and the middle ages. At this point I wonder if you are trolling. The roman empire waged war on pretty much every single other ethnic group around them and enslaved them. Which the other ethnic groups around them were also trying to do at the time. Then we have the middle ages with the crusades and such... etc etc etc
