who knew that knowing you should clean the filter on your dryer made you racist.

I guess I'm a Nazi because I know you should clean the filters on your dishwasher, clothes washer, and HVAC every three months.

๐Ÿค” something about this sentiment doesn't add up now that I'm thinking about it.

I think the word they forgot is prejudice, not "common sense".

The point is "common sense" is the justification people gove when they don't have reasons for their beliefs.

I assume and hope you could give 1 good reason for each of those things you do.

because I want to improve the longevity of my tools as long as possible so that I can starve the corpo-fascists of their lifeblood.

Ok, good for you. I hope you understood my point, which really didnnot requure a reply from you.

[โ€“] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I know you didn't require a reply, but I did anyway. I'll assume you know why, which really didn't require a reply from you either.

Yeah I'm a little confused by this. It's probably an american thing.
If >50% of your voters pick a racist party, racism must be "common sense" over there.
