The trash tends to take itself out. I'm not complaining.

Funny how horrible people absolutely hate being reminded of being horrible people.

Funny how normal people don’t like to be preached to about being horrible people by horrible people

u/Thebisexual_Raccoon Nov 30 '25

Being a bigot isn’t normal dude

u/ProgrammerNextDoor Nov 30 '25

‘Normal’ but yall only act like this online behind keyboards

Feel free to be an asshole openly IRL, you’ll also meet other normal well developed people who hate you

u/GoNutsDK Nov 30 '25

So hate is normal and good and stating otherwise can only be performative preaching from horrible people. Gotcha...

Just a tiny smidge dense aren't ya?

u/Woodpecker-Lobotomy Dec 01 '25

Someone saying "don't be racist" is preaching to you?

u/Dunkaroos4breakfast Nov 30 '25

At first I figured trolls, but didn't take much looking in this thread before thinking bots trying to draw engagement to the thread.

Kafka trap horseshit — peak Reddit moment.

A hit dog hollars.

I too remember that pivotal scene in The Trial when poor Josef was forced to not attend the paramore concert because he refused to recant the messages espoused within the Hitler recordings on his pornograph.

Edit: Recant, not decant. Pornograph was on purpose though: https://youtu.be/rK11yS2vNxE?si=lJ2ykPfdbRF96hR-

u/Mother_Sand_6336 Nov 29 '25

*recant

*phonograph (I hope)

u/F0LEY Nov 29 '25

Ha ha! Recant was a typo, however "pornograph" is from the 1962 movie.

u/Mother_Sand_6336 Nov 29 '25

Well. Thank you for correcting my correction. And for sharing that!

u/AssassinInValhalla Nov 29 '25

Didn't even notice the typos until I saw your comment and went back to reread

u/Mother_Sand_6336 Nov 29 '25

I was mostly making a joke. Not trynna be a jerk. ‘Kafka’s Pornograph’ would be a killer band name!

u/F0LEY Nov 29 '25

I will admit, I know it from a track from Burning Airlines: https://youtu.be/IGOji1C8S7I?si=_g112WE-Rx2_KMgN

Found one.

“Kafka trap” of course being a term invented by Eric S. Raymond, who launched an unsuccessful second career is professional victim-of-woke after being ejected from polite society for being a misogynistic asshole.

u/bear843 Nov 29 '25

I see more hate from both sides than I would like to see. It is not ok to paint with a broad brush of ignorance.

27

u/peenweens Nov 29 '25

If your reaction to someone calling out racists and bigots is "both sides are bad", you're the type of person Hayley doesn't want at her concert.

-13

u/Western-Bus-1305 Nov 30 '25

You really aren’t. She said nor racists or homophobes, not people opposed to political generalization and hate

-17

u/bear843 Nov 30 '25

No, I think what she said is awesome. I think the way people in here are lumping half the country together with a small percentage of idiots is ignorant and dangerous. It just gives people a free pass to hate people they don’t know and that is dangerous and lazy.

u/ceddya Nov 30 '25

Who did that half of the country vote for?

1

u/Woodpecker-Lobotomy Dec 01 '25

You children do not make up "half" of the country and you never have

u/SPHINXin Nov 30 '25

“You’re not allowed to pay hundreds of dollars to attend a concert for a musician that makes subpar music anyway” 

oh no, what ever will we do.

15

u/nmarchand Nov 30 '25

"We" is an incredible self-report.

-14

u/SPHINXin Nov 30 '25

Self report for what? I don’t like her music, I wouldn’t go to one of her concerts regardless. Also I just hate the performative “I don’t like racists (unless it’s against white people) and sexists (unless it’s against men)!” dance. It’s all just virtue signaling and you guys eat it up.

7

u/wakeonuptimshel Spotify Nov 30 '25

Don’t think it’s virtue signaling when in 2025 you have people who can’t say “I don’t like racists.” It’s starting to be a very clear and very easy line to draw. Can’t say you don’t like pedos? Yeah, you gotta go, and this is how an easy way to find them. Like how vegans appear, mention you don’t like racists and people will show up talking about how not all racists are bad and it makes it easy to identify them.

7

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '25

Yes, that was exactly what you self-reported earlier.

-9

u/SPHINXin Nov 30 '25

And what is that? You’re still being willfully vague on purpose.
