I find in most cases someone using the phrase "shoved down your throat", whatever they're complaining about is nonsense.

Such hyperbole, being used as a disingenuous synonym for "being exposed to"

Such hyperbole

it expresses what they like having done to them.

I think you're onto something...

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

every accusation is an admission.

Meanwhile they're completely ok with tubes being literally shoved down people's throat to force feed hunger strikers in ICE detention facilities.

Muslim people exist, and these fucks think that means their religion is being shoved down their throats.

Meanwhile, we've got people like that preacher lady holding air passengers hostage as she spouts off about Christianity.

Shoved down their throats makes it sound like a personal attack when it's just people existing in certain places, and yes, it is bigoted to want to be free of Islam in the United States, like, hear yourself, you want an entire belief structure eliminated from your country.

Thousands of Nazis post the same shit every day on X, nothing happens to them.

With the "trillionazi" at the helm, why would something happen to them?

I wish actual Nazis got that treatment. Unfortunately they seem to be becoming GOP staffers. Actual antisemitism seems to be largely ignored. That's why the fasc of all stripes continues to need the boot in a more personal fashion.

I agree with Gad Saad, however, I would like to add that beyond just Islam there's an even bigger religion haunting the First Nations as every small town across seems to have the presence of Christianity and Euro-Americans, even in places where you'd never expect it.
First nations people have a right to not have Christianity shoved down their throats constantly or is it bigoted to want them to be free of Usonia and Canada?
