I honestly can't handle being around them, they love pretending to be more reasonable than they are, making me look like an emotional ass (thanks neurodivergence). Seriously, what's up with chuds dancing around the point and never being honest about their intentions? Like they pretend they don't want to exterminate muslims, or people from countries they don't like, why all the dishonesty? I know she believes these things because they like watching Ben Shapiro, Assmongold, Matt Walsh etc. She's joined Orthodox church after finding Catholics too woke for upholding hasic COVID restrictions, and constantly whines about Muslims.

I'm more than happy to admit I want society to be violent towards billionaires, fascists etc. Why can't they be honest about it, why dance around the point?

I don't ever have to deal with chuds but if I did - I'd tell them that they're racist and hateful.

Why can't they be honest about it, why dance around the point?

We laugh about the Overton window and it's always moving to the right. There's a similar connected hate "window" of how openly racist and hateful people can be in real life. It moves around over time and it is heavily based on locale. Right now most Americans can't say "Black people are inferior," or "Jews control banking," or "Gay people shouldn't have rights."

But they still need to make everybody know they are racist and hateful. To do so in a more "polite" way - they resort to transparent workarounds like euphemisms and "I'm just asking questions" phrasing.
