Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”

    Another “family values” type doesn’t seem to give a shit about his own family. Bet he has strong opinions on abortion though.

        Isn’t the right all about “family values?” Being “good” christians and whatnot? It goes with the territory.

          You’re just mindlessly pigeonholing. You may be right, but it’s childish black and white thinking.

              You claimed being right wing was limited to something unrelated to it. 2 responses because I didn’t know if one was uploaded because of crappy internet. But sure continue to believe a conspiracy about everyone who disagrees with you.

            All right wingers support the imposition of the right’s hypocritical version of Christianity regardless of their personal beliefs.

              1. Why do they have to be prominent?

              2. Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Hayek, and many more

                1. So people know their actual views semi widely, wouldn’t matter at all if you said “I have friends” as we have no way to look into their beliefs.

              Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Michael Shermer.

              All prominent atheists, all decidedly right-wing. If you want to include dead atheists, then I’d also say Christopher Hitchens was decidedly right wing on a lot of issues.

                Richard Dawkins is definitely NOT right wing lmao

                Sam Harris is NOT right wing

                I don’t know Michael Shermer, but he states he’s fiscal conservative but social liberal, I’m not sure I’d count that as “decidedly right wing” either.

                  …Have you been paying attention to Dawkins in the last decade? The dude is decidedly anti-trans, anti-woke. Harris has been on the side of Republican foreign policy for decades, even if he’s more socially permissive. Shermer is the same kind of anti-LGBTQ anti-woke as Dawkins.

                    No tbh, I was big into atheism back in the early 2010s, dogma debate, Atheist experience, thinking Atheist, rationally speaking, probably more podcasts I’m forgetting off-hand, fell off a bit around the mid there and got heavy into politics and conspiracy theory rebuttals instead (Knowledge Fight, QAnon Anonymous, behind the bastards, secular talk, breaking points more recently) definitely haven’t kept up so much with the old Atheism crews. That is definitely unfortunate though semi understandable, Dawkins is/was very science/data driven, and biologically speaking the majority of people fall into the duality of male/female, and how you identify/feel is a different matter in many people’s eyes. Then again, I think there’s still a lot for us to uncover about how our bodies and brains develop/function that likely play into people feeling like they ARE/should be the opposite gender. I will say the first tweet he made that I read didn’t specifically sound Trans-hating, it was very much a fair enough discussion question about how to handle situations like transsexual or transracial, though he went about it in a way that definitely comes across as demeaning.

                    Idk overall, seems like he slid even more into platforming and agreeing with antitrans and TERFs like JK Rowling, so that’s certainly not great.

                    But does that alone make him Right Wing now? I don’t think so specifically

            Albinos exist also, what’s your point?

            The overwhelming majority of right wing nutters are christian cultists.

        So much down votes but zero rebuttal…

        It seems facts hurt some people around here. Really wouldn’t want them getting in the way of a good circle jerk.

          reply said, “I don’t think” as in they don’t actually know. Something like a cited source might help and receive actual conversation or else it’s just fluff much like your conjecture. It’s easy to assume his “family values” from the rightwing conservative aspect and being a member of the “Proud boys” and all. But please, continue the inner circle jerk you’ve started.

            what. you’re asking me to give a source for a negative. do you expect me to chronicle every word he’s ever said to show he never said the words family values. will you do the same to confirm what I said?

            being a member of the “Proud boys”

            this statement is untrue and I do have a source for it, or as best as you can get for proving a negative.

              Everyone’s favorite game show: Child, Senior, or Foreign Agent?

              You really posted a nexstar/Mission Media article as a source to defend a right wing ignoramus. It’s like poetry. Get a shred of media literacy, please.
