I know this is just thebad.website comic, but I’m genuinely curious (and an idiot) to know what the connection is with generally racist-inclined folk love for saying that everything is common sense. What makes them think in this way?
It’s the backbone of their every argument–no matter what it is, if I ask, “Why do you think x, y, or z is the case?”
It is without a doubt their instant reply, ‘It’s just commonsense!’
Thought-terminating cliché, it’s used to dismiss arguments and shut down critical thinking. It’s a tactic associated with cult language.

Before you even bother trying to correct this person, keep in mind that they are also so unbelievably stupid that they think ICE is arresting criminals.
Entering the country illegally IS a crime. Just because the previous administration tolerated it doesn’t mean it’s not.
Sir, it is a misdemeanor. On par with speeding or jaywalking. Also it is not a crime to enter seeking asylum, but theyre treating it like it is.
Yes, but the proscribed punishment is deportation, look it up.
It being a misdemeanor simply means it won’t go on your permanent record, and you’ll be eligible to enter the US again lawfully after 5 years or so.
Wdym? I don’t like potatoes much. Too sweet.
Uhh then don’t eat them?
Peanut butter is sour af. Nutella is honestly better.
If you think potatoes are sweet and peanut butter is sour, I think it might be a good idea to go see a doctor. Could be a neurological issue.
It’s not a crime it’s a civil offense.
Your mom is a civil offense.
I’m just going to address your comment about Black people and sports.
Black people do not have a higher natural talent in sports, for Black youth sports is one of the only ways to achieve success, so they place a higher emphasis on sports. It’s evident because they are only dominant in the sports they have access to.
Pointing out that you harbor racist sentiments is not thought terminating, it’s apparent in your writing.
Okay, so you’re saying racism actually IS the only reason black people are overrepresented in those sports, have I got that right?
Shouldn’t we then maybe implement a diversity quota system in order to give more white and Asian players a chance to compete? Seems kinda unfair to exclude them, don’t you think? Perhaps if more of them had a chance become highly paid sports stars, they’d be less overrepresented in engineering or finance.
Because there isn’t a real reason besides idiocy and hate, if they try to rationalize it, it falls apart, they have to face or give away that they’re just hateful idiots. Saying it’s “common sense” is an easy scapegoat to tidy up the truth, even if it’s just for the benefit of their cognitive dissonance.
