http://www.nationalreview.com/article/378894/mass-killings-have-become-rorschach-tests-charles-c-w-cooke/page/0/1 Charles C. W. Cooke, good as always National Review posted:One has to play similar games in order to harmonize the killer’s astonishing, deep-seated hatred of females with the fact that four out of the six people he killed were male. There is no question that the shooter had constructed a poisonous ideology in which women were the sworn enemy. His targets, in his own ugly words, were “all you girls who rejected me and looked down on me, treated me like scum while you gave yourselves to other men,” and so intolerably angry was he at women in general that he expressed a wish to put them into camps, to watch them “starve to death,” and to force a few carefully selected survivors to breed with him and others of his choosing. This having been done, he suggested, “sexuality would not exist,” “humanity will be pure and civilized,” and “men will grow up healthily, without having to worry about such a barbaric act.” He was, let’s say, not a fan of the fairer sex. One has to play similar games to understand the commentators, poster posted:He talked on and on about women rejecting him, but he killed an equal number of men in his bloody pique. Maybe he was desperate for a woman to make him want a woman. Didn't he plan to kill women and run into some complication at the sorority that made him kill those guys, anyway, or am I wrong?

Man honestly we should quit parsing his manifesto. gently caress your stupid ideas, cur. They're stupid. I don't want to let freaks know that there's a way to get Anderson Cooper to parse your manifesto. You can loving hear the trepidation in journalists voices as they discuss it. They know they're contributing to it.

Time to read Zinn posted:http://www.nationalreview.com/article/378894/mass-killings-have-become-rorschach-tests-charles-c-w-cooke/page/0/1 The neo-Nazi shooter a while back ended up only killing Christians and nobody questioned whether he was motivated by anti-Semitism. Why the gently caress does who he actually killed matter? It's because they secretly agree with the misogyny

I thoroughly enjoyed the part where Rush complains about "the left" exploiting and spinning the shootings for their own benefit, and then in the next breath starts mocking the kid's dad for some reason. Still not as good as talking at length, with great confidence, about the implications and subtext of a story he's never read or seen though. That's just special.

If you guys are serious about the Mulford Act poo poo, I know two brown people (one is a Muslim!!!) who are hardcore all about guns and hardcore all about sticking it to the NRA. They have also mentioned that they'd like to get something along the lines of NAFACP going. I can talk to them about it. We've got post-children. Once they get the ball rolling, we can expand. Would people be interested in this, or is this just a D&D wankfest?

kik2dagroin posted:The Hunger Games. My dad does the same thing. He didn't need to see The Hunger Games or the Dark Knight Rises to know that they should be lauded for their libertarian messages. (DKR "shows the truth about Occupy." You will, of course, remember how the OWS protestors stole a nuclear device and held the entire city of New York hostage and executed the elite citizens in a series of show trials.) He has read the Harry Potter books and joins others in hailing its libertarian message: http://studentsforliberty.org/blog/2011/12/08/the-libertarian-subtext-of-harry-potter/ Students for Liberty blog posted:The story seems simple on the surface. A boy’s family is killed by a power hungry evil wizard and the boy trains to ultimately destroy him. So what’s so unique about J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter? (The italicized quote is evidently meant to follow the third paragraph, but it breaks up the fourth paragraph instead because of a formatting error.) Yes, J.K. Rowling created a libertarian champion while exploiting Britain's welfare system. (She'd held a job, but quit it to write her first book, so she didn't technically need to be on welfare.) A libertarian champion who grows up to be a government bureaucrat. Pththya-lyi fucked around with this message at 07:55 on May 28, 2014 |

If you do mess with me or my stuff, however, it's on like Diddy Kong. EDIT: One example of the hosed-uppedness of the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP): say you own a high-rise apartment with a flagpole sticking out of the exterior wall. One day when you're in the apartment when a guy falls out of a window above your apartment and grabs your flagpole. According to the NAP, he is trespassing on your property and you're well within your rights to push him to his death. Pththya-lyi fucked around with this message at 08:20 on May 28, 2014 |

It's funny that the article claims Harry Potter is a libertarian, considering he shared his parents' wealth quite freely. Oh, and every libertarian I know is a complete "master race" shitheel (apologies to non-racist libertarians on the forums). It's pretty central to libertarianism that some people are just better than others, and most think it's no coincidence that white people are rich. The motherfucking Atlas Shrugged book was all white people all the time.

Why are feathers so ruffled by dumb poo poo? It's like the mindset for content on this forum versus, say, a Clearchannel radio station that censors everything from "poo poo" to "chrome 45." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVJAz0XT8I4&t=41s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVJAz0XT8I4&t=120s The words "whore" and "balls" are censored, too. If the censorship trend goes any further things like "liquor store" will be censored, as well. This version actually has a few parts uncensored, "green," "drugs," "chrome," and "gun," are usually censored. Heaven forbid a cautionary tale about life on the wrong side of the tracks actually mention some of the things that are bad.

Another character that was created a YEARS before Limbaugh and Fox News even existed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flBpsyFbEOs I realize it's very much an anarchist/libertarian type of movie but I really enjoyed "V for Vendetta" FWIW. What is bizarre how quickly Fox News is willing to criticize any type of film. Neil Cavuto threw a hissy fit that "Zero Dark Thirty" didn't win an academy award, yet, "Argo" did. "IT'S JUST HOLLYWOOD GIVING AN AWARD TO ITSELF". He didn't even see the movie. My conservative dad? Loved it by the way.

I typically notice conservative "values" in film when they manifest in some eye rolling racist grandpa poo poo. Consider when the swarthy foreigners (from a sandy place) teamed up with OWS to nuke Gotham city. It's like, OK Nolan- We get it, you're a rich white guy and this was the scariest scenario you could imagine. OF COURSE you only see this in hyper unrealistic fantasy circumstances, like Red Dawn or 24. Are there any grounded films where the conservatives were right all along?
