That guy is voting. Probably for the Nazi.
Literacy is bad mmmm’kay?
/s (obviously)
That guy failed English literacy. Though… Honestly… Not surprising for a right wing American.
I don’t know, have you seen how they are teaching math these days?
This liberal agenda is getting out of hand!! /s
TIL grammar is an info-hazard.
Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?
Mr. Rogers says you can do anything you want if you use your imagination.
Also
theseand one in that context.Edit: these is functioning as an adjective there
Pretty sure pronouns didnt exist for him in school because he dropped out before they taught it to him
That’s a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.
I mean, it’s a Reddit story, so grain of salt.
But it is a very funny story
Yeah this is peak reddit story telling. I can even see the top comment: this is MORE than mildly infuriating. That’s why it’s posted there, engagement farming
So is this bit about some delinquent fascist with dementia who was already president once up for bid again. Also, that when he don’t win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated by the corporations that successfully sold it as being conducted by anyone else.
…and “bid” because let’s be real. The whole shebang is a fucking auction that has sold the fucking business of “Government” to the corporations respected by allowing them to STOP PAYING %78 IN TAXES.
Also, that when he don’t win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated
JFK very explicitly pissed off the CIA when he fired a bunch of the Bay of Pigs hawks and failed to escalate with Cuba after the missile crisis.
Harris isn’t doing anything like that. She’s fully endorsed our militarism abroad and our police state at home.
If she catches a bullet, it’ll be for the same reason Trump nearly did - because he was sloppy with his security detail and they were phoning in their end of the job.
Left or right is irrelevant this is a person who follows propaganda without question. Both sides do exactly the same, and have fools who follow blindly.
Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can’t be sure in the current day lmao
I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:
“the saying used to be ‘it’s too good to be true’ has morphed into ‘it’s too horrid to be false.’”
On reddit it’s usually best to just assume something is for attention
The fascinating thing about these stories is that 10+ years ago people were all like: pics or didn’t happen.
Now everyone is up in arms to defend these stories they want to believe in. /R/nOtHiNgEvErHaPpEnS
That’s a good point, I am surprised by the amount of people who don’t seem to care if something is true as long as it’s “entertaining”. It’s probably a similar mindset to enjoying reality TV or pro wrestling?
If I agree with it, it must be real.
A Teacher in Utah was fired for writing an educational blog post about homophones.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/blogger-fired-homophones_n_5637873
He isn’t a teacher he’s a social media provocateur I would take that story with a huge grain of salt.
Yeah, none of it makes sense. Why would any teacher not immediately file a lawsuit, unless they’re not a teacher and they’re trying to drum up “engagement”? But hey, just like the story in the OP, no need to ask questions because it jibes with my point of view!
I swear, I’ve been thinking there’s nothing from the US that can surprise me anymore, but this did get me.
How can there be no-one there in any position of power to ask “wtf are you doing”?
The thing that really gets me about this story is it was an ESL School. The students were mostly adults learning to speak English. Not only should an ESL school understand the English language well enough to know what a homophone is, homophones are an extremely important concept for non-native English speakers because that kind of word can cause lexical confusion.
This teacher was fired for doing his job correctly.
Christ it’s the pediatrician named Peter Phile from Brasseye. Satire is dead.
“may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex.”
Better not let him see assume, class, bass (ironically a homophone) or many other words with such scandalous suffixes lol
Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child’s homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.
That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting… or anywhere really.
I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid’s homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn’t enough.
Fucking pronouns!!! 😲
This is unbelievable, except this is where we are today.
That bf would get clocked if they intimidated my siblings like that and spewed that nonsense in my house.
Imagine being so scared of pronouns that you tear up a little kid’s English homework. Like, can you really be that dense? What’s next, Adjectives?!
They’d probably burn the science books purely based on the fact it’s science.
But when they learn about homosapiens theyll lose their shit about a gay agenda
Modern conservatism is mental illness - it’s not a case of being dense - it’s a case of being genuinely disabled.
Ironic for a political ideology grounded in and returning to eugenics.
Modern conservativism should be treating by banning the mentally ill from running for office and by imprisoning them.
I don’t think we should be imprisoning the mentally ill (that’s more of a conservative thing) - I think we should be giving them access to treatment. From there, the bulk of the conservative brain damage should resolve itself.
Imprisoning those inciting violence against minorities based on lies and attempting to overthrow the government based on more lies seems like a responsible step in protecting Americans and American democracy though.
By “imprisoning the mentally ill” I was saying “imprison the conservatives”.
It’s hyperbole. They were mocking you for using “mentally disabled” as an insult. You’re the one talking like a conservative right now, using disability as a pejorative.
It’s not true when Conservatives say “Liberalism is a mental disorder”, just as it’s not true when Liberals say “Conservatism is a mental disorder”. The only thing that’s true in that context is that supporters of both major parties have no problem throwing people with mental disabilities under-the-bus over politics.
Republicans are stupid, they are ignorant, they are hateful; but none of those things constitutes a disability. If they did, I would have compassion like I would for any other disabled person.
They say the literal same thing about “libruls”.
All I see are 2 statists fighting.
ancaps not realizing they’re statists
Learn to evaluate claims. There is an objective reality out there, and it’s not defined by “who says.”
Sometimes one side’s just fucking wrong.
This is a disgusting thing to type, especially considering how eugenics is used against the disabled
You’re getting downvoted because you’re more disgusted by people talking about the problem than you are by the problem.
Denying eugenics would be disgusting,
Covering for those that support eugenics would be disgusting,
Being disgusted by someone pointing out the disgusting hypocrisy of eugenics and modern conservatism is disgusting.
Pointing out how monstrous and hypocritical modern conservatives and eugenicists are is a moral good.
I don’t care if I get downvoted, I’m not here for that. I have been downvoted recently by neoliberals on this site for literally saying everyone should have the right to vote (and I quoted Lyndon B Johnson and the fucking constitution about this), so we can see how much a downvote is worth here. This isn’t a site for leftists or progressives, or even people with a basic understanding of the Civil Rights Era, and I understand that. So ofc there is someone advocating for something Nazi adjacent here, like medicalizing an entire voting base. Medicalizing something that isn’t a medical condition, especially acting as if their cognition is what is wrong, is something historically done to women in the US right before they got fucking lobotomized and put into conservatorship. It’s a conviction and punishment with no trial. Fascism. Not to mention what the actual Nazis did to people they considered disabled.
It’s not “pointing out” anything to medicalize them. It’s an attempt to erode their rights by using laws that ALREADY abuse disabled people.
It’s so funny how disabled people are the perfect weapon for pieces of shit who dont care about them. No one cares about helping the disabled unless it means they can weaponize them against another group they hate. Usually it’s the homeless but ig today it’s conservatives.
I think you’re missing the point of the original comment. Describing modern conservatism as a disability at once absolves conservatives of their responsibility not to hold abhorrent views, by classing it as a characteristic they have no control over, and lumps people with disabilities into a group that, in a non-insignificant number of cases, wants them dead or sterilised.
That’s why the commenter was upset with you; not because you’ve criticised eugenics, but because you’ve been massively insensitive, and when someone pointed out that insensitivity you became defensive and attacked them in return.
I’m disgusted by people who use disability as a pejorative.
Attack Republicans all you want, but drag marginalized people into your insults and you can go fuck yourself.
Republicanism isn’t a mental disability. It’s a moral failure.
You’re right, and I don’t want you to feel like no-one agrees with you.

Sane people stay away
That’s the point.
Imagine believing a reddit story.
Oh man, I would have never known if you hadn’t pointed it out. Thank you so much! /s
Regardless of the validity of this story, I guarantee someone out there has done this to a certain extent. People get worked up about pronouns to such a degree that this almost seems like a relatively tame reaction.
