My dad has his issues, but this is the first sign of anti-pharma stuff from him. Also I'm pretty sure he has little to no idea who Jesse Ventura is.



As a pro wrestling fan, the fact that people use Jesse Ventura as an actual source for stuff like this is still insane to me.

He's probably the least credible source possible.

Steven Seagal, somehow, seems more credible than him.

One of my friends just went on a Facebook rant about people going to her etsy and stealing her style of art, thus ripping her off.

She melts crayons around tracings of pokemon (and sometimes zelda stuff), a thing she learned how to do from reddit. So not only is it not an original idea for the medium, but the subject isn't even hers.

I remember our teacher doing this with us as a second-grade craft project in 1971, long before pokemon even existed. It's a well-known art technique that's been around forever. Break your friend's heart with this knowledge.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

The Body at least had his own series about conspiracies. Every episode features some new random person whose life will be in jeopardy for giving the Body this information, so of course the cameraman gets a nice, close shot of this soon-to-be-black-sited patriot, just to make things easier for the CIA blops squad.

This actually seems like a legit gripe, if it was a rape awareness march. Women might be the primary targets, but not the only ones.

Hilariously, what he doesn't realize is, that, to your average tea party member, his minimum wage unskilled labor job, unemployed wife, 2 children under 2, and use of government benefits like WIC and EBT put him on the bottom, not the top.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. I'm not saying this guy is your average Tea Party member- just the opposite, on the less educated, less-skilled side, receiving the same government benefits at which images like this call for outrage. The funny comes from the fact that he is downing people for receiving the same welfare he is.

Oh! I see. I thought the 'his' was referring back to 'average Tea Party member.' That makes more sense. And also explains the oddly specific description of the wife and kids.

"There isn't? I thought feminist was just a synonym for bitch or something." :saddowns:

The people making these images and comments are not the kind of people to do enough research into the topic to realize all that.

because people tend to see movements like that as organized, or at least as having a person or group of people who spearhead and inspire the rest.

I'm not exaggerating. Trans soldiers get everything funded for free. Admittedly, the only thing you'll pay with regular provincial health insurance is, I believe, therapy and prescription costs (by that I mean the costs to fill a prescription, not the cost of the medication). Ah, God bless universal health care.

Reminds me of this rear end in a top hat friend-of-a-friend who went off the deep end about two years ago. He seemed to spend all day on facebook, slinging whatever conspiracy theory link he could find onto his wall so we had the privilege of watching him build his crazy worldview block by block. Also, he would start arguments on other peoples' walls over the tiniest things and use abusive language when they didn't conform to his ever-shifting batshit ideology. One week, he loved anarcho-socialism, the next week he loved Barry Goldwater. I defriended him after he posted a meme that compared democracy to gang rape. Wonder where he is now.
