I used a program to delete all of my posts and comments at once. It took some time since it went post by post, but I didn’t want any of my intellectual property making money for a company that continues to shit all over users.

Spez can go fuck himself with a hot metal fork.

“Legal experts/law professors say” is such bullshit.

I was fired from a job and sued them for discrimination. “Legal experts” said I should get between $30k-$60k. I barely got $5k.

This guy should be in handcuffs right now. Lying to the feds is still a crime. How about obstruction of justice?

I’m sick to death of treating traitors with soft, cushiony jargon.

Let me say this unequivocally so there’s no way to get it twisted; Christians are my enemy. I don’t have a single reason to break them down by denomination to figure out which lunatic sect is better or worse than the others. They are all equally worthless.

Just exactly what are you saying? Because you’ve been trying to guilt trip me about leaving this den of shit bags for the entire thread… Saying I’m “leaving people behind to die” which is incredibly dramatic seeing as I’m still here at present.

And keep in mind, I’ve been behind enemy lines doing my fucking part my entire adult life. There’s nothing else I can do. Not that my vote in a red state did much of anything at all. Exactly what do you expect me to do? Have you never been to Tennessee? They threaten to attack city council members for just asking them to clean up their yards. We’re not talking about some idyllic Southern caricature here. This is a place full of “God Hates Fags” bumper stickers and even the police are scared to pull over people in pickup trucks because they know those people are carrying weapons. This isn’t going to be a boastful march out of town for me. It’s sneaking out under the cover of darkness.

Those percentages are meaningless. If I walk into a restaurant and see a guy at a table with 9 Nazis, I see a table with 10 Nazis.

Christianity has 2 groups left; the people who are fascist motherfuckers and the people that condone fascist motherfuckers because they get what they want out of it. That’s 99% of the South. That other 1% are people who need to leave.

I don’t have any inclination whatsoever to engage with the Christians. None. They want to start shit, I’ll be glad to finish it with a fucking smile on my face, but I’m not into fighting the American Al-Qaeda alone and I damn sure don’t have any reason to live amongst them in the meantime because you think I have a duty to do so.

The fuck are you even taking to me for, then? Hit the bricks. Your opinion is diminishing in value with every reply. I don’t have the time to sit and argue with an SJW with a shitty attitude who has done nothing but strawman me to death with hypotheticals.

Someone else responded to my initial comment with something about nukes, do you, for some reason, think that was me? I’ve not “condemned” anybody. I think you’ve got me fucked up with somebody else, so take that delightful attitude of yours and direct the vitriol elsewhere.

And, to be very clear, the South is 99% Christian nationalists, particularly in the Bible belt. Zero percent of them are worth saving. None.

And it isn’t your job to defend the shittiest people on the planet, who by the way want you dead just as much as they do me. The difference is you want to defend the South.

This is an abusive relationship; the first time I get beat is the other person’s fault. Every time after that is mine. I’m simply choosing to leave, and you want to victim shame. Bravo.

I got jumped in Daytona Beach in 2021. Three dudes in a pickup truck hopped out and beat the fuck out of me because I was wearing a pride bracelet. I was just able to recall enough of the truck to identify it, but because I didn’t get the tag, they never caught the guys. The cops refused to treat it as a hate crime.

I left, even though I couldn’t afford to do so. So your description of people not being able to leave doesn’t pass the smell test.

Are there places in the North where I won’t be safe? Of course. I’m not going to Boston. But I’m leaving the South because of the aforementioned abusive relationship analogy.

Again, I’m in no way obligated to get lynched because other people decide to stay. And believe you me, staying in a place full of people who jerk it at night thinking about killing the LGBTQ is a choice.

No, I’m not “basically” saying that, but nice strawman attempt.

I have no interest in being a white knight. I’m fucking leaving. I don’t have any obligation to financially cover people who can’t leave; they have to make that decision.

What I’m saying is that the rest of the people here, the ones actively calling for the deaths of the LGBTQ+ are as useful as taste buds on an asshole.

I will not waste another breath on trying to convince them that they’re horrible people. Not even within my own family. When the South inevitably attempts a second civil war, I’ll help my LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters should they get to where I am. But they have to find the impetus to do so.

Jesus Christ, you must be fun at parties…

The writing has been on the wall for quite a long time. Anybody that stays behind does so at their own risk. I’m not being lynched here. I’ll take in others who want to leave when I get to where I’m going.

I’m not saying anything about whether or not I’m a good person. I’m saying that the number of good people here is a lot lower than you imagine. Pull up the draw bridge, IDGAF, I’ll swim if I have to, but the American South is a shit hole that didn’t deserve the reconstruction. They’ve not learned a goddamn thing.

I’m not staying here. I’ve been planning my exit from this shit hole and the people here for a few months. I’m a gay man who has simply had enough.

There’s no saving these people. The good ones are leaving, the rest are some of the worst people in the country; they either are dismissive of what’s going on or indifferent.

Why would I waste my time voting here when my vote literally means nothing? This is a traitor enclave.

These people don’t give a shit about anyone who doesn’t go to their church, which is very denomination exclusive. You can’t make them be civilized.

I don’t know where you’re seeing “good people” in the South. I live in Tennessee and I have to endure hearing people every goddamn day talking about destroying the country just to get back at the “left.”

It’s the only place I’ve ever seen “Trump Stores.” And these people are ravenous about a second civil war. I just refuse to engage in trying to save people who don’t want to be saved. Fuck the lot of them.

One need only look at the state to realize it’s a shit show. Nothing in the Bible belt is worth saving.

These are the same shitty mothers whose main complaint about schools being closed was that they couldn’t get blackout drunk before 11am because now, the kids they had (for the same effect as carrying around a Chihuahua in a bag), were now having to stay home.

One of these women was on the news in Florida saying “I just don’t know what we’re supposed to do with our kids if they’re not in school.”

I dunno, raise them, simple bitch. These people legitimately want the State to teach their kids but also, don’t you dare teach their kids…

These are the same women who are shitty to their kids and show them pictures of when they were cheerleaders in high school saying “Mommy had a great body before you ruined it.”

I have a friend that became one of those people after high school. She made a killing for a few years from whacky people who wanted her to make the placenta into Christmas ornaments… She tried showing me photos of her stretching it over glass balls but I couldn’t stomach it.

My boss is a Q-anon lunatic and likes to say “shouldn’t Nazis have freedom of speech, too? Why are you so afraid to let them have a say?”

My response is always the same; Fuck the Nazis and anyone who supports them.

Only someone prophetically stupid would agree to represent someone who is known for bailing on paying his debts.

The only reason someone would agree to it at this point is purely for publicity. Our culture has somehow tied self-worth to how much celebrity one has. It’s why “influencers” are a thing when they offer nothing of value to society. It’s also why you see so many videos on social media of someone just pointing at some text and playing a video they didn’t make. Or the people lip syncing… It’s all one big fucking talent show and no one wants you to look behind the curtain.
