Well, thats an utterly garbage take. If they are excited about voting for Trump for president, I'll make them feel as dumb as I possibly can.
Berrai7
I always wanted to be a nazi, white supremazist, hate jews and what ever... finally found my people. Right?

I get excited by telling excited people they are stupid. Your move…
Agatsu74
What if I'm excited about making someone feel stupid for being excited about something?
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
Same with people who, upon discovering someone hasn't seen/heard/ experienced something, make a huge deal "YOU'VE NEVER SEEN GAME OF THRONES?!?" like yes I just said that
Raygirl
This is the fastest way to get me to dig in my heels and go 'yep, never watching that'. Alternatively someone going 'Oh! Would you like to watch it with me?' is how a friend got me to watch The Princess Bride having spent years defying the 'OMG SRSLY?!?!' dickheads. It was good.

What if they are excited about Trump?

I enjoy the silence of not having to hear yet another one of your monologs about the same topic as last time... and the time before that... and the time before that.
JimFromMarketing
Ironically I'm excited about doing that to people so now THEY'RE the worst type of person for making me feel bad about it
spookyactionatadistance
What if they are excited about astrology and are asking me my bday and birth hour to do my whatever and I politely say that I'm not interested and they insist and insist and even after saying I'm not interested they continue insisting until I say that I do not believe and then they tell me its because I didn't study it and I say of course I didn't, it's not science and suddenly I'm the asshole
mirrorz
But shitting on other's people's dumb dreams is my dumb dream.
Oatmealman1
What if they are really excited about voting for Nazi trump?
blisfulloblivion
As a kid I inadvertently did this once. My cousin was talking about her celebrity crush and I thoughtless gave my own brutal opinion on the celeb. She got real silent and after pause softly said I just made her feel stupid for liking him and I was mortified. Stupid 11yo me had the EQ of a snail, but at least I learned quickly.

One of the worst kinds of gatekeeping.

It's stupid to be excited for white nationalism.

I got my comment removed on Nextdoor as being disrespectful ( I just like to troll) for calling out a guy that posted that he was waiting for an n word to step on his property so he could kill them because of his ccw. His post remains up while mine is deleted. Certain things need to be modded and deleted
QuickGoogleSearch
Jfc. You sure it wasn't the op who deleted your comment? (I don't use nextdoor much so not sure this is a possibility)
nero4ty2
No, I got the notice from nd that I was being disrespectful. All the mods in my area are super white republican, most of my comments that get pulled are for calling out racists, the one that actually used the n word and I reported it still up but mine was deleted by mods.
QuickGoogleSearch
Ew wtf is wrong with people? I get that more covert racism is "harder" to moderate (it shouldn't be), but that person's post is so obviously not okay. I hope, even if it doesn't work, you can report the post itself if you didn't already. That's so messed up, but good on you for speaking out, esp considering how hurtful that post must be for black members of the neighborhood. My mixed family lived next to an older couple who fly a confederate flag...and they have mixed grandkids visit them..
nero4ty2
I reported it when I commented on it, post is still up and my report is under review
harthram
Clearly this was intended to mean regular interests. Like Star Trek or Pokemon or whatever. Don't assume universality of scope. Normal people don't speak like lawyers, specifying every tiny detail and scope of their statements

*Sigh* No one I know cares about trees the way I do. Pretty sure everyone is tired of me and my tree talk.
Although, my dad is also willing to engage in woodworking talk, there is that upside.
But I'm sad how few people care...
Kehy
Hi Tolkien
erikleorga
Salticido
What do you like about trees?
erikleorga
How impressive they are. How they showcase the divergence of species because of continental drift. How important they are to entire ecosystems!
Salticido
Can you tell me more about the impact of continental drift? I don't know much about trees to be honest, but I like nature.
erikleorga
Let's look at North America. Both white and red oak trees. Red oaks, however, are a divergence of beech, but in Europe red oaks never formed. Some point of evolution, the reds came to being.
North American white oak and European white oak can cross breed, even though they split millions of years ago. Then there's the fact that black walnut, Brazilian walnut, and European walnut are all of a similar genus, but diverged from a common ancestor eons ago.
Salticido
This also makes me wonder, given how long a lot of trees live and (I think?) how long they can take to mature and reproduce, is evolution an even slower process for trees than we tend to think of for other lifeforms?
Salticido
Did white oaks not come from beech? Are white and red oaks not closely related?
PredictablySilly
This is why I taught my little "Don't Yuck their Yumm"
And when she heard her classmates teasing someone she said it and it became a class motto.
Making others feel bad for what brings them joy is the lowest form of self importance

What about nazis? Is it ok to make them feel bad?

If it's a new season of the Kardashians sorry I'm making fun of them

anoldiebutagoodie
M6 34 year old daughter had a go at me the other day about how weird i am getting excited about my afternoon swim at the beach, the clouds, arriving at our favourite camping spot, all of these things that bring me joy. I think she's the weird one. I choose to never lose my childlike happiness at things
RedOnDaHead
That’s amazing! I wish I still had mine. I’m enjoying seeing my own kids have it, though. And will try to give them tactics to keep theirs.
anoldiebutagoodie
Gotta say, it's not as easy as it used to be, but I hope to find wonder in the small things every now and then for years to come
VitaminJay
Wow. Thanks for describing my immediate and extended family.
There's a reason I cut them out of my life.
kizzattasgirl
After reading some of the comments, holy moly are a lot of you guys dumb. Yeah of course if someone says they're excited about something that hurts other people you're not going to promote that. This statement obviously pertains to something that isn't violent or killing someone else. What the heck people?
Salticido
Nitpicky contrarians missing the point like, "But what about...?" 😂 Dude, do you really think they're talking about people excited about fascism? Do we really need to add caveats to literally every thought we think?
Raygirl
'wHaT iF tHeY'rE eXcItEd AbOuT mUrDeRiNg BaBiEs?!?!?!'...well I think that speaks A WHOLE LOT about the type of people you chose to hang around and you might need to address that. Most of my friends are excited about upcoming videogames.
WigglyBlondeNoodle
The real caveat is folks who are excited about not putting the shopping cart back.
zoraniko
Exactly 🤣
empire161
I’m sure a post on here about how much someone loves watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians while doing astrology readings would go over so, so well.
xeilua
Those are the exact people the meme is talking to
SarcasticComment
doesn't have to go that far. I'm tired of my brother dominating virtually every conversation at family gatherings about his new passion, hunting. It's cool to be excited. It's not cool to frequently strong arm monologs where only you talk.
Salticido
Yeah that's not what OP is talking about either.
testiclestheclown
Statements like this are why absolutes are a bullshit way of looking at the world.
2graves
My only hard rule is no absolutes
kadbury
Absolutely!
TwistlessTTV
Only sith deal in absolutes!
CptRobotNinja
Just be nice to people who aren't bothering anyone. Fuck.

"dammit Bill, Jim was so excited to share his new hobby and you ruined it for him with all you 'that's rape, you're a rapist' talk! Just let people enjoy things, you are the worst!"
Ronelyn
...harmless. Something harmless. But yes, as my Stat professor used to say: "Absolutes are *always* wrong!"
3KnucklesDeep
Split infinitives are sometimes always wrong
ShadyEsperanto
that's some A+ statistician humor right there
LurkerByNature
“You must always remember to never say always and never.”
bladderinfection
Absolutely. Yeah, the irony here is getting out of hand. Let’s just say absolutes are powerful, be careful where you point them.
Schitzoflink
Only Sith deal in absolutes.
When you are triggered by trauma you typically operate in your Limbic brain. That part of your brain lives in the eternal now. It's where your anger from a trauma in childhood is always as strong as when it first happened and your prefrontal cortex activity drops, you literally become less able to think clearly. You start using more words like "always" and "Never"
Sith are slaves to their emotions, they are unable to think clearly and live in the eternal now.
DrMaggot
So what you're saying is Star Wars needs less jedis waving lightsabers and more therapists.
Lexgeddon
So, like, do we just collectively ignore the fact that saying "only Sith deal in absolutes" is dealing in absolutes?
Schitzoflink
Lol I had to delete the part where I said "despite the irony"
JJohnston94
Wow, that happens to me. There are certain times/circumstances where I KNOW it's going to happen, and it happened again today.
Cr4zyC4tLady
I’m with you! The self awareness helps a ton!
Schitzoflink
Once I learned about it, now I can feel myself shifting into that limbic system which is very helpful in my relationship.
JJohnston94
How do you stop it?
Schitzoflink
I wish it was like that. This is where I found Buddhism helpful. The first noble truth is that suffering is inevitable. The second is that the pain we feel is when we don't accept the reality and try to hold on to our idea of what should/could/wanted to happen. The third is that by practicing non-attachment we can reduce the pain
You don't stop it. When you accept it, it's like having a hot coal dropped into your palm and dropping it. When you fight reality it's like holding that coal instead.
ilovebigmutts
If they're really excited about cutting someone's head off should I be supportive
IAlwaysUpvoteSunsets
FOR THE LAST TIME, YES!!
Puppies717
You don't have to be supportive, you just have to not make them feel stupid for it if you accept the quote. Maybe the person is a doctor studying a cadaver...
Oneofthemdaftpunks
Yes. But then call the police or something. Don't dim someone's lights because they like muderizing people.
Jaqdakloun
That is a rather rapid escalation, I think they meant like, stamp collecting, tap dancing, snail racing, and such
SkyeIngram17
Jimmytheeel
Yes
juan004
Unless you want that head to be yours, I suggest so.

Knee jerk reaction was to ask "what if they're excited for exploiting the poor and helpless?"

Always means always. Unless it involves harming a child then you should excited about removing their head.

Where is the word always in the statement?
g0atsmuggler8

Until a doctor can stick the head back on you should support it, yes

We talking about interest in historical execution or an interest in participation?

You should probably stop them, especially if it’s a Hydra.

If its one of my friends, odds are good that person needed to die. So, sure!

Is it a billionaire?

It's good to be more specific here so.
Is the guy who gets their head cut off a billionaire?

Asking the right questions.
