I am not particularly bothered by the warmongery elements of Trump. It seems like his military orientated advisers(Kelly, McMaster and Mattis) are opposed to him, and I have the feeling that if Trump tried so cray-cray shit, either one of those three would quickly step in and maybe even start procee...

Pence also troubles me because he is shrewd and competent. Which means he can accomplish the things he wants to do. Which are generally bad things.

Basically, he (Arapio) was found to violate Constitution. By extension, Trump is also attacking Constitution, violating the oath of the office. This ought to be the point where Pence, the lawyer, teams up with the rest of the conservative lawyers to run Trump out of town on the 25th amendment. And ...

I find virtually nothing redeemable about Forrest. He may have been the best cavalry commander of the war, and his maxims are still quoted today. But seriously, fuck that guy.

Are you... are you fucking with me? Like, you didn't know who Jubal Early was before watching Firefly? This is what irks me about this whole damn conversation(not really against you, per say, but in general. I've had this discussion a lot): the sheer amount of ignorance of the history involved. Ever...

*fingers gun nervously* Goldern yankees. Ok, but seriously, this is a contentious issue, and it's sensitive. So, you know, let's stay calm here. First: About all this "traitor" talk? Can we just no. Treason is a rather specific criminal charge, and if someone was never charged with treason...

Probably no different than I do now.

I was hatin on NDT before it was cool. Poseurs.

Way to mansplain for us, mike

Honestly, if Doxxing will prevent us from having to fight this shit out in the streets Red Front and Red Ruhr Army style? Then doxx away to your little heart's content. Because ultimately, if the conservatives can spin the narrative that the left wing street violence is as big a threat as the ACTUAL...

Most uplifting? NASA finally came out and agreed with me. That was cool.

Most tragic? Probably the ongoing genocide in the global south.

Particularly, that's the goal of their street violence. Not only is it supposed to hurt people, but it's to make people afraid, distrustful, and prone to looking for authoritarian figures. I am reminded of Mao's treatise on guerrila warfare: one of the things he advocated was attacks on gathering pl...

That's the thing, they don't believe in freedom of thought or speech or expression. There is no room for that in advancing the White Race. You can't be open to new ideas, because any idea other than "The White Race is the superior race and must be protected at all costs" is a threat to tha...

There's actually nothing wrong with that, dude. After-all, they are you children, they carry your genetic legacy, and every single cell in your body is biased towards their survival and increasing the odds that they have children of their own.

I'm sorry. What I was trying to do, unsuccessfully, is portray their world view. These people, the dedicated ones, they don't have a world view that lends itself to moderation or valuing people as individuals. They don't see an educated black man or woman as someone who has overcome adversity, or si...

Man, they covered this in freakonomics. I'm gonna say 140k. Less for a kid.

Respectfully, I disagree with you. Fascists/White Supremacists have always had intelligent and well-off people who were conspirators and managers(Not, necessarily, leaders. There is a difference between leadership and management). It's not that they "finally" got it figured out, it's that ...

Jeff, I've been wondering about the different sorts of Nazis, or whatever we wanna call these guys. Not so much along idealogical splits though. 1) The hardcore. These guys tend to be pretty easy to spot: they look like bikers, skinheads, punky kinda of dudes. Plenty of them sport tattoos that let y...

Oh Lord help me, I am not shaming anyone in the slightest way, and if you want to learn to paint, at some point you have to pick up a brush, unless you are literally painting in a computer program. I might be the last person on Earth who would discourage kids to read, so I'm sorry it didn't work th...

It could be the way you come across. I mean, I come across as an "angry" person all the time. I don't have any advice there. I just said "eff it" and am now an angry happy person.
