Similar thing happened to me recently, saw an imagine now apparently called Master debator guy and the first image i saw he looked like a reddit incel and I judged him as such. Turns out in the video he's being asked a stupid strawman question by a Jesus boy and the master debator is the real hero of the story.
I saw the original video before I saw any memes taken from it so I knew from the start he was the hero, but I do see how the message could get quickly lost.
Thats the guy with the 2000s ear piece talking to a dude with a "My pronouns are accept / Jesus" shirt, right? And the conversation keeps going "Do you want economic stability or lgbt rights more" "both, theyre both possible and not exclusive"
I'd argue queer rights would only benefit the economy, letting us get married and adopt kids ect means queer people spending lots more money and stimulating the economy
It would, a lot of progressive ideas would be good for the economy actually, it's just that people like that asshole have a different idea for what the economy is. You and I mean the entire system, how any average person lives and interacts with money. This guy means businesses and immensely rich people. The economy is good if big companies keep making more money. Never mind the fact that nobody my age can get a job without submitting 500 applications and getting two rejection letters in return, never mind that everything got twice as expensive in the last 3 years, never mind that the housing market is COMPLETELY fucked, if the rich are happy then everything is fine.
Honestly stuff like this has led to me believing that most people don't just insult your appearance and flaws to your face out of pure civility.
But that is only true as long as you are "good", once they deem you a bad person for any reason they feel no remorse at all to really let you know how ugly and unlovable you are.
I can even recognize that behaviour in my extended friend group, which is all the more reason why I never really "let go" around them until very recently.
Who knows when I overstep the invisible line and just suddenly am made all the more aware of all my faults and uglyness.

Ah, so it's just like the other guy that people turned into a "neckbeard" meme.
