On the other hand, has anyone holding up a sign ever claimed that was all of their beliefs?

The purpose of the sign surely is to highlight the most significant, pertinent or contentious aspect of their beliefs?

I like if your turtles beliefs fit on a sign?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 33 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Also "i like turtles" is a totally valid belief, that doesnt require thinking harder imo. Shitty message if you ask me.

Clearly you have to pull up the peer reviewed papers on every turtle species in the world, along with multiple papers on human psychology, to figure out precisely what turtles you like and why

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

It doesn't matter which ones and why. As long as there are at least two turtles for them to like.

yea i mean any belief that fits on a sign has gotta be wrong..

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 9 points 6 months ago

“I like turtles” is not a belief. It is a statement of the fact.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean... this message fits on a sign, and leaves a lot of room leftover, so...

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

Who said they are not thinking?

This is dumb af lol . I can fit " equal rights for all gender and races" on a sign should I think harder ?

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, you are clearly insensitive to straight white males and you made them feel bad for acknowledging inequalities.

I couldn't possibly be more sarcastic, just FYI.

I dunno, that message seems to me like it would fit on a sign. Maybe you should think harder about it? 😜

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Oh, fuck. You're right!

Is this some radical centrism malarkey?

Making a sign that says "this guy is right" and standing next to him

[–] swan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I believe there’s meaning, no I believe there’s nothing

My beliefs are informed by enough theory to have a name
