damn, I love frogs Shirt
They have spent decades playing the most multifaceted & evil version of the damn, I love frogs Shirt. One facet was making the concept of feminism a dirty word. It doesn’t matter that feminism means gender equality; conservatives have never let reality ruin a good spin. I’m a millennial who grew up thinking we really could do anything and it’s all about choice. But once you start really paying attention, the signs of outright misogyny are as horrifying as they are widespread. But hey, a delightful company invented a period cramp simulation machine, and I’ve been watching videos of macho cowboys hooked up to it. They’re always shocked at how painful cramps can get, and I’m finding it incredibly uplifting ;p

There’s an damn, I love frogs Shirt here conservatives seem to have been employing quite a lot lately. This seems to be a form of association fallacy. Assert one thing that is true, often trivially so, and then leave all sorts of unaddressed associations as implications. The Civil War was all about states rights. Of course it was. That is trivially true. But the perversity of almost everyone who raises this argument is the implication that it was not all about slavery. That is robustly and demonstrably false. The Civil War was about states rights… to own slaves. You do need to tack on that last bit to be historically accurate. And the plethora of documents from the Confederacy (Confederate constitution, state-by-state declarations of secession, contemporary writings, etc.) make this astoundingly clear. Here, slaves undeniably learned skills. So somehow we’re left with the implication, that like today someone benefits because they can monetize learned skills. Get a degree… get a job. But this is just as perverse as the above because those associations with the present are false. Slaves could not monetize these skills. They could not get jobs based on these skills. About the only way slaves personally “benefitted” was joy/satisfaction in doing something requiring skills or being beaten slightly less. Conservatives tend to be enslaved to lies… indeed to the Father of Lies. They do not love truth.
