That's just Acceptable Polite Discourse. It's not like he said genocide is bad, or something equally career-ending.

One time he asked me very seriously if I wanted his help reporting my mother to the police because she had an abortion 37 years ago. Like he said it in a concerned, helpful way

This has to be the most confusing person I've heard of. Seems deeply compassionate, yet falls for the most unhinged of chud rhetoric.

he grew up poor and ethnically mixed, one side of his family Latino and the other side white. Told me he never quite fit in anywhere, was rebellious as a kid and joined gangs. Got an assault charge or something at 18, spent some time in jail, found Christianity. Once he came out he became obsessively fixated on UFOs and something in his head clicked regarding UFOs, treatment of Latino people, and American enforcement of poverty. He's apparently come to a conclusion that UFOs are a government program to distract people away from Christianity, and this is why poverty and hatred are widespread. Says the only solution to that is love for everyone, and I do believe he means it, not in a cynical way. He just doesn't fully understand what he's saying. He also fell deep into Qanon and believes there are Satanic pedophiles everywhere who snatch kids out of parking lots to harvest adrenochrome

He's one of the most deranged people I've ever met and yet you're right, he's deeply compassionate and nice. He'll give anyone a ride in his truck, he donates food to his church. He's pleasant and friendly in conversation. He even has a few trans friends?

Believe me, I am a little scared of the guy though, because there are some weird cogs moving around in his skull

He would’ve really liked Heaven’s Gate

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
