"The warmth of life has entered my tomb!"

I've been watching the inauguration ceremony coverage all day, was feeling pretty numb, and then somehow this dumb meme pushed me into total nausea. It makes me think about how many people in my office really are this guy. :barf:

All I saw were a ton of smug "like it or not he's YOUR PRESIDENT and you need to respect him :smuggo:" posts, before I decided 'why on earth would I check imgur today of all days'.

His father was from Kenya and his mother was of mostly English ancestry, so depends on which great grandpa you're talking about.

You know. We don't give imgur enough credit. Today i encountered a real live imgur moderator. On imgur I posted critique of Hitler. The comment section then turned into a racist circle jerk and I was downvoted and reported untill my account was suspended from posting and a real live moderator sent me a link to the rules and a reminder that after the suspension ends. Should my account score fall again. I won't even be able to upload content.

Imgur does indeed have moderators it seems.

On MyAnimeList they started a "community writers" thing where posters could submit articles, reviews, or thought pieces etc. and they'd publish the ones they liked. Some guy submitted an article called "10 anime with Nazis getting their asses kicked". Without his knowledge it was later edited to be called "10 anime featuring Nazis" with all the mean things about Nazis removed and a new list item featuring a positive portrayal of a Nazi character. When he asked about it apparently someone involved in the site's parent company kicked up a stink about it being biased against Nazis.

It's why the radical left likes losers. The Paris Commune, the Republicans in the Spanish Revolution, the Mensheviks or the Left Communists in the Russian revolution, the Krondstadt rebels... it's way easier to present someone as pure and to project all positive aspects of your ideology onto them when they don't have to be subject to the test of reality.

Well, we did learn what happens when they don't fall in line and do what they're told. They get demoralized and just don't show up evidently. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson the next go-round. :v:

Bernie couldn't get enough support to win the primary, so why is he immune to the same depressed turnout that took Hillary down?

Oh yeah, because Bernie had all those outsider/non voters under his banner and in the election proper rank-and-file democrats can be counted on to just fall in line.

Hillary's base seems more likely to vote for anyone that would stop Trump than Bernie's base does, and he could better appeal to the disenfranchised working class white people that Hillary didn't even try to reach.

But yeah it's all hindsight and hypotheticals so whatever

I mean, Trump genuinely believes that the criticism against him will stop now that he's in office. He's an incredibly stupid person.

Yes, because someone who almost won the primaries despite the machinations of the party chair (whose biases toward Hillary are well-known and a matter of public record) would totally have had a demoralized base heading into the general election.

I mean, I'm sorry, but it's kind of hard to feel sympathy for Clinton when there's pretty good evidence that the DNC was instrumental in shutting out someone who actually understands the issues Americans are concerned about today. (hint: neoliberal economics are what got Trump elected. He campaigned against them, and so did Sanders. She's been a banner-carrier for those policies for over a quarter-century. It really isn't hard to do the math here.)

It got changed to "11 anime featuring Nazis" and "a rare instance of a positive portrayal of a Nazi" was added.
