2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

What kind of person self-identifies as a bigot and doesn't think that maybe they're being an objectively bad person?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago

The kind who is keenly aware that they would never behave like this if they didn't have other people supporting them. Overwhelmingly fascists and bigots are cowards who rely on others.

The type of person who is trying to "reclaim" it, and wants to wear it as a badge of honour.

The same people who starting calling themselves with the deplorable, or the Trukkker convoy people who put stickers on their jacked up trucks that say "part of a fringe minority with unacceptable views"

My brain immediately repeated his name to the tune of Linda Linda.

Wilson Wilson was also the name of the wise neighbor on Home Improvement.

I went to school with a Duwaney Duwaney (not quite sure how it was spelled, but that's what it sounded like). He did not name himself, however. Agreed, Wilson Wilson is terrific.

Do they know where Jessica Hyde is?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

We've been playing Redneck Life recently (highly reccommend) and you roll for your names. I think I got Billy Bob Bob or something similar once. Wilson Wilson sounds like it'd fit right in.

I hope they have at least one tennis trophy sitting in an old bookshelf somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

A good decision from Wilson.
