Good grief these people are absurd.

r/childfree is leaking

Once upon a time, we had no way of knowing what the world’s foremost crab-scientists thought about politics.

Unsurprisingly, they believe that the key to understanding politics is applying the behavior of crabs to politicians.

As we know, they don’t distinguish between criminals, U.S. citizens, and women who don’t respond with cowed obedience.

A lot has been said about the difference between liberal and conservative worldviews and modes of thinking, but this comment by the odious Randy Fine encapsulates it all:

He thinks this makes him look strong. We recognize this as the behavior of the weakest of men.

Some people have low self esteem. That guy seems to think he is the only moral being on earth.

Matt Kent @pharmkent.bsky.social · 7d

They wouldn’t be happy if they got what they’re asking for, either.
