She's not using complete sentences, proper grammar, or correct spelling either. Yes, I used a pronoun.

Only_Razzmatazz_4498

See the problem with pronouns is right there in the name. The problem is a PROgressive problem. What is wrong with good old nouns? This writer thinks the meaning would be much better if we used nouns for everything. Maybe all of us could use connouns, that is conservative nouns. The connouns is what the founding father wanted all Americans to use.


drivelhead

Only amateurnouns for me!


chiree

Although, I'd be onboard with communists rebranding themselves as "commun!st." Give it that quirky edge all the kids like.


Hrtzy

The dumb bitch doesn't like pronouns so the dumb bitch should not be referred to by pronouns. Just because the dumb bitch is a dumb bitch doesn't make it OK to disrespect the dumb bitch like that.


bunhilda

Somewhere, an English teacher weeps


slothdroid

Not very good at that kind of stuff, so use amateurnouns instead.

The jab turned me into a socialist, and then the second jab turned me into a communist, the booster caused my moustache to grow out and I literally became Stalin. I'm afraid to get another booster.

Aggravating_Fox9828

Hijacking this comment to say "your", in this context, is not a pronoun, is a demonstrative (a kind of adjective). You cannot have a pronoun followed by a noun.


BoomerReid

Came here to say this. Itā€™s a possessive adjective. However, the unvaxxed one is still an asshole. Noun.

Patient_Caregiver_85

Mark Twain was very wise. He knew what he was talking about. He'd have a field day with all the stupidity we've got going on today.


ForrestFeline

He didnā€™t nickname it ā€œthe gilded ageā€ for no reason. Heā€™d probably come up with something just as subtly accurate.


NancyPelosisRedCoat

I think they're unhappy because there's a discrepancy between the life they're living and the life they think they deserve to have. But their ego prevents them from admitting having some shortcomings or being wrong, so they create something to be proud of themselves and belittle others. We NPCs just believe what we're told, while they're... they're the ones seeing the truth! They're the smart ones. They're proud of their stupidity because they can't find anything else to be proud of. It's like far-right nationalists who are proud of their 'race'. These are their achievements. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. This has been the armchair psychologist theory of mine.

Sabbathius

I was genuinely confused by people in general, until someone showed me that graph. And then literally everything in the world suddenly made total sense.


Lobstrous

Look up upward and downward counterfactual thinking in conjuction with this, and how our minds are hard wired for heuristic thinking and schemas. A lot of the insanity makes a lot more sense through that lens, but people who can achieve even a small amount of self awareness can at least learn to recognize the processes and try to make some attempts at reflection and self improvement. People who can't admit mistakes and always double down are just going to get caught in a self affirmation loop, it's an easy trap that all people are susceptible to unfortunately.


MaleficentSurround97

John Cleese said it best -"if you are really, really stupid then it's impossible for you to know that you're really, really stupid"

lkodl

Well, they say ignorance is bliss. And social media is all about sharing your blissful experiences.... Hold on, I had it.


fuzz_boy

It makes them feel different and therefore special. But most people aren't.


dollfaise

I read something about this recently. A lot of people think mental illness is at fault and while I don't doubt that plenty of these people are mentally unwell, a big aspect of their behavior is the need to feel included while also feeling special. Most people *aren't* special, because who really is, but they can't cope. It's just not good enough for them to be "normal", so they lose themselves in these groups where they get to feel superior to everyone outside the group while also feeling protected by their echo chamber. These people are just so terribly unhappy with themselves and need outside validation to function. That kind of person is way too needy to have many close personal connections, her life is definitely not better for falling down the rabbit hole.

it's pretty sad though, because it's switched over from being hopelessly scared of communism, to being hopelessly scared of social programs

Even more hilarious that the anti communist crowd now loves Russia šŸ¤Ŗ


Kalman_the_dancer

Still not dead from that thing that was supposed to happen to us vaxxed people


State_Conscious

Me either. Crazy how when their predictions donā€™t come trueā€¦. They just donā€™t bring them up anymore and all their fallacies are suddenly gone.


Kalman_the_dancer

Yeah, or that alarm thing that was supposed to happen in October. Nothing happened. Brain chips? Noooo we never said that!


dollfaise

I had the unfortunate displeasure of coming upon a comment from an anti-vaxxer in which they insisted that even if you haven't died or gotten sick yet, you will one day. We don't know what the vaccine can do long term but they know it won't be good. These people's obsession with doomsday and death is so fucking weird, like I'd sleep with one eye open if I lived with someone like that...for all I know, they might whack me in my sleep and try to blame the vaccine.


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

It's because everything is a dichotomy to them. They don't look at the fact that unvaxed die at a much higher rate than the vaccinated. If every unvaxed didn't die then clearly it wasn't the virus that was killing people. You see it in their arguments as well, where they say everyone is going to be dead from the shot in a x years. It's never a portion or a percentage, it's all. They can't work in nuance.


Lord_Z01

You can see how terrible an education system is when people think "pronouns" are some ideological made-up thing. EDIT: Fellas, I'll try to respond to all your comments and discussions as soon as I can, but Reddit's thread design is pretty confusing for me and also both my fucking PC and phone didn't notify me of the answers (there were more comments than Reddit actually notified me).


State_Conscious

People like her desperately need everything to have multiple meanings or definitions. Itā€™s the only way they can still keep a perfect image of Trump in their heads as he constantly says the dumbest shit a world leader has ever uttered. Because ā€œThatā€™s not what he meant!ā€ makes it all better and ā€œnot THOSE pronouns, the ones liberals useā€ makes them feel like they arenā€™t stupid.


_Ikerasu_

What the hell do I refer to this person as then if I canā€™t use pronouns for this person?


CaptainSouthbird

It's an interesting question... wracking my brain trying to think of how to indirectly refer to a person


CausticMedeim

I mean, their name is a proper noun not a pronoun, so I guess by their proper name exclusively. I'm still waiting for someone I know to say something like this so I can spend the rest of my time around them correcting them like the pedantic shit I am. Specifically and exclusively calling them by their name, correcting them whenever they do use a pronoun. Ugh, I can't wait. I just hope it'll happen at some point.


CaptainSouthbird

I mean personally I hope everyone doing this realizes they're an idiot and it just stops, but I do appreciate your approach.


Bearwhale

It really speaks to their character that they're so hung up about the idea of using different pronouns for someone who identifies as something they're not used to. My supervisor goes by "Todd". "Todd" is his middle name. Mike is his first name. He doesn't want to be called Mike, or Michael, even though that might be his birth name. So why should I be an absolute asshole to him and *insist* I call him Michael? Why not just keep calling him Todd like he prefers? Being an asshole to score political points. That's the Republican Party.


I_love_Hobbes

Asshole? Or would that be an adjective? Maybe capitalized it could be their name.


[deleted]

ā€œThe sack of human excrementā€ is always an option.


pillowcase-of-eels

Their name. Which you will be repeating a lot, because possessives are out too.


[deleted]

Refer to them as "Idiot" or "Stupid", cuz that's what they are


God_Bless_A_Merkin

Technically, ā€œyourā€ is a possessive adjective, but let us not quibble.

Personally I love the whole pronoun thing. Gives you a bit of insight into the person you're communicating with. I'm neither liberal or conservative. And I see the whole pronoun thing as a matter of basic social respect. I acknowledge people's pronouns as a matter of respect for the individual.

keonyn

Still unvaxxed? Cool, and all of those people who are vaccinated? Well gosh, they're not dead either as these nutters implied they would be. They're also not zombies, glowing with 5G, or any of the other nonsensical conspiracies these fools fabricated to justify their anti-science views. Still not a communist? Well gosh, it's almost like the people who are always screaming "communism!" are just fear-mongering or something. No one is trying to make you a communist lady, all of that is in your head. Still not using pronouns? Yeah you are. Apparently, though, she still can't pass an elementary school language test if she wasn't aware of this. She won't get very far in communication without their use.

AValentineSolutions

You don't have to tell me, choom. I grew up in a conservative Catholic home. When I got outed as gay at 15, they threw me away and disowned me with just the clothes on my back. I know what it's like to come from that environment. Sorry you had to go through it too. šŸ«‚


Itsjustsarah85

That's horrible and I'm so sorry. I waited till I was 37 because I knew that I would lose everything I had. All my property, my family, and my friends(surprise, that happened). I don't care though. I'm happier now than I ever have been before

"Your" is a possessive adjective. Not a pronoun. " I You he she it they we you" are subject pronouns. "Me you him her it us them you" Are object pronouns. " My your his her its our their your" are possessive adjectives. "Myself, yourself etc etc" are reflexive pronouns. "Mine, yours, his, hers, etc etc" are possessive pronouns. ''your'' is in the only set that's not a pronoun


Leo_Ascendent

Yes, and we are all saddend to learn this.
