To fascists, hypocrisy is a virtue:

https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/hypocrisy-and-fascism-2018-08-12

They NEED to demonstrate their hypocrisy in order to signal to their supporters that the nasty shit they promise to do to The Other (immigrants, gays, whatever) won't be done to their supporters.

And it's a way to show how powerful you are. Breaking the law with impunity while others get punished for less shows that you shouldn't mess with the leader.

Aren't all threesomes bisexual or homosexual? By definition? What does that word mean here?

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 56 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (22 children)

No, not inherently. If the two same sex people dont engage in any sexual contact directly, its just a heteosexual threesome.

Bisexual threesome is when everyone is having sex with everyone else.

Maybe, but pointing out that it isn't heterosexual makes it look worse for those hypocritical puritanical fucks, so I'm fine with it.

[–] profdc9@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Yeah the pigeonhole principle here would seem to dictate that, or some principle involving holes anyways.

Her robust and consensual sex life is perhaps the only thing I don't find despicable about her.

Edit: yes, y'all, the hypocrisy and allegations of non-consensual sex and the book burning and the attempt to takeover the k-12 system with Christian nationalism, etc, etc, etc is the stuff I do find despicable. Sheesh.

BISEXUAL THREESOMES are NOT against the Bible! Only Gay People are!

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (5 children)

The original translation of "men are prohibited to lay down with man" is more akin to "men are prohibited from laying down with boys"

So the only real verse in the Bible that mentions homosexuality is actually telling people to not be pedos

Now Bridget, let’s be clear: you’re not being called out for being bi. That would be hypocritical. You’re being called out for being a hypocritical cunt yourself.

Now kindly fuck off :3

I'm reminded of Congressman Henry Hyde wrapping up the day's House hearing on Presidental Blowjobs a bit early so he could run across town a boink his mistress.

"Investigators found numerous videos of the Republican couple having sex with other women".

I think the real news here is a republican was caught doing something besides full on gay sex for once.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or that any of it was consensual and the particpants was of consenting age.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I mean, it all came to light because of a rape allegation. The investigation was what uncovered the entire thing, where they found tens of thousands of (potentially non-consensual) videos of their threesomes. And no, that number isn’t an exaggeration; Investigators found nearly 30k videos. So even the “consensual” part is dubious at best.

The lady who accused him of rape only consented because she thought it was going to be a threesome. Then Bridget backed out, so the lady said she wasn’t interested anymore. But Christian still showed up and had sex with her while she was drunk.

How is it that these people are almost always involved in things that they publicly shame

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

People obsessed with power will do power-obsessed shit like this.

They get off on it

Imagine the alternative timeline when she isn’t a hypocrite and just has a tinder account to get some strange pussy?

[–] Juice64@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But how did her husband get her to do that? For research purposes of course 🤔

They do realize they'd be able to have a lot more gay sex if they'd stop criminalizing gay sex right?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Their kink is punishing people for doing the things they enjoy. Legalization makes it feel like they're not above the poors - taking all the fun and adrenaline out of it.

Christian Ziegler’s iPhone in the investigation and found 30,000 videos on it.

Jesus. How does a phone even have that much storage? Cloud shit? Seriously though, God damn that's a lot

A small part of me feels bad for Christian Ziegler. Guy is 41 years old with no career whatsoever outside of politics and now he can't do that. Most politicians have law degrees but he doesn't.

It's a small part. He is at best a sex pest and piece of crap homophobic self serving shitstain. At worst he is all that and a rapist.

Maybe a much better person than I am can start some sorta program to help people who ruined their life with the alt-right rejoin society.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Don’t feel too bad; He’ll inevitably get a cushy job as a lobbyist, where he can leverage his existing connections to further influence politics while staying out of the spotlight. The politician>lobbyist pipeline is extremely apparent, and it’s basically a revolving door where politicians exit, throw on a “lobbyist” hat, and walk right back inside.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Oh Jesus fuck that’s so much worse than I’d heard before
