Thank you to the mods for fighting dangerous hatred and bigotry

Submitted by kauffj t3_1192ju3 in newhampshire

As a minority living in New Hampshire, I've experienced a lot of hatred and threats of violence. People on this sub have threatened to hurt me, just for the way I was born.

Thankfully, trustworthy, mainstream media sources like NBC are doing their part to support diversity and inclusion, and have been trying to break down the ignorance that leads to hatred. They've produced a documentary to help educate people who may be uninformed, confused, or misled, which the moderators have pinned.

If you want /r/newhampshire to be a place of diversity, inclusion, tolerance, and love, please consider checking out this documentary, and please tone down the hatred and bigotry towards people like me. Instead, recognize our shared humanity, and our shared love of New Hampshire.

Additionally, this type of proactive community leadership from the mod team helps ensure /r/newhampshire doesn't face scrutiny for abuse and hate speech. Thank you!

Political beliefs are substantially more heritable than sexual orientation (do some searches on heritability of political beliefs and sexual orientation if you doubt me). Libertarians really are #bornthisway.

"extreme hatred" of simps for pedos is an appropriate response.

Some of us have known you long enough and seen enough of your horrendous behavior first hand to see through your attempts to lie about yourself.

Remind me, how many of your FSP buddies that you used to hang out with at the Quill are currently serving time in prison for possession of kiddie porn or touching kids?

No one is born with political beliefs and the fact that you act like being a libertarian is akin to being gay is abhorrent. Shame on you.

People aren't mean to you because of your beliefs. They're mean to you because you're a self-important moron with literally 0 common sense. Your victim complex is insane.

Idk why people have this need to hate on others. Im white but my whole life i have hung out with non white people. Other cultures have so much more to offer than "white culture" ever has. Foods with flavor, traditions going bzck thousands of years. All ive ever seen "white culture" do in history is enslave, rape, and pillage. So before people hate on other cultures study your own. People need to look in the mirror at their own flaws and deal with it.stop hating yourselves and taking it out on minorities. We are all HUMAN

If you’re having problems with a lot of people, at what point are you going to ask yourself if maybe you’re the problem. I don’t like people riding the pity train. You have unpopular views and the description of the first episode of your documentary talks about a manifesto about taking over a state and forcing your views onto it. What did you think was going to happen?

Also what’s with this “minority” statement? What makes you a minority?

In his “defense” I don’t think he is a pedo, in that I don’t think it was meant sexually. Not that it matters much as it is still sexual harassment, of course. Rather I think he is an attention seeking manchild and all around piece of work who gets off on reactions after saying things that disgust others.

Almost every day, I hear or read the "no massholes or transplants" or "if you come here is under our terms" remarks. This state is full of "closeted" bigots or "passively racist." The jacked-up prices for housing, electricity, and gas prevent minorities from moving. Also, the pride people feel here for keeping things the way they prevent progress will put off potential movers. As a minority transplant, I feel this state is stuck in limbo, and natives promote it.

The hilarious thing is that the right thinks using terms that left uses is some sort of clever stroke of genius but they're literally just mocked for doing it.

It does nothing but make the left laugh at them and all the while they're patting each other on the back.

It's almost sad.

This is one of the major things that drove me away from the left, despite considering myself a democrat for over a decade. The younger generation on the left doesn't grasp what bigotry is or why it's bad. They proclaim they're "anti racist" over and over, but it's so clear they're just repeating what they think they're supposed to say while having zero grasp of the concepts. The older people still on the left are in the same boat. Those who do grasp it have all distanced themselves from democrats and progressives by now.

I don't know if I should bother to point it out or if it's supposed to be funnier not to, but if you don't believe that the federal government should exist... Not wanting a federal law against something doesn't mean that you want people to do that thing.

----

The inability of so many people to differentiate those things makes me feel like I'm in a world of unthinking NPCs that can't really consider anything and are simply filling in their responses the way a chat bot does, seemingly coherent most of the time, but lacking a real understanding of what they are commenting on.

Or do they all on some level get it and realize your being trolled, but just want to hate on people they disagree with so much that feigning ignorance so they have the excuse is more appealing.

edit: It occurs to me that things like this are a sort of ink blot test. You say a thing that by it'self doesn't really tell you that much, but could be taken to mean a lot of very different things then wait and see how people respond, where does their mind take it.
