There should be a version for D&D. "I've never been a young libertarian"...98% of D&D takes a shot. "I've never been a Marxist"...again, 98% takes a shot.

If you play his speech at the 2004 democratic convention backwards, at the right speed, you can hear Obama say, with the Voice under his voice:

hope + change + race + you + didn't + build + that ÷ healthcare ÷ compromise ÷ misunderstanding × white guilt × shame × foreign policy failure × judgment n=y where y=hope and n=change, love=gay, life=abortion, self=black

That was a fun read. It never occurred to me to think about what HST would have thought of his Doonesbury character.

Did a quick search to see if he'd had time to object to Hunter Gathers on Venture Bros. but that was apparently after his time. Christ, he's been dead for a while now.

I used to read his column on espn2 even though I didn't really care about football because he'd gonzo it up from time to time.

Convincing yourself Kyrie is 100% legit is a necessary feature of posting in that thread, because it is unironically so much worse without him.

In the UK and US it pretty much has a schizophrenically split meaning. It either means white trash (meth adics, people who live in trailers), or can sometimes mean white guys who work in traditional manual labour.

There was a story on the radio this morning about how Democrats can't even garner 25% of the "white, working class" vote in some areas. I was like, you mean the ignorant racist vote, no I imagine not?

If this was the NPR story, they mean the white people voting against their own interests because they've been convinced that the problem is immigration and demographic shift rather than a slowly building class inequality.

Bring back plural voting. Men aren't real men unless they get an extra vote if they went to university.

I'd argue it's the other way around: people in power perpetuate racism to keep people acting against their own interests. Keep telling whites that they can't afford insurance because of immigrants and blacks on welfare and they'll start believing it.

I think that the people in power who push that narrative also believe it. Steve King sure does.

Example: how many times do you hear about the minority neighbor who is just "one of the good ones?"

It's pretty darn ingrained into society like an ingrown toe nail ignored for years. It can be removed but will suck.
