They became limp wristed sissy wimps. Why the gently caress would anyone want to be associated with the modern liberal?

No, I'm sure the average person looks out on the street and sees it filled with terrifying cartoon caricatures of people that they only know how to describe with 4chan vernacular like "nu-males" and "cucks." I am very normal.

I think it's pretty bigoted to condemn the majority of black americans to slavery but that's just my opinion. Hope we can keep the discussion reasonable and level headed.

Every "states' rights" or "Red/Blue" split plan has the problem that the majority of people suffering in the bad states don't deserve it and a lot of them vote against it or don't vote at all because they've been disenfranchised or alienated. Dump the South and you dump the majority of America's African American population to live in what'd basically become defacto slave-states again.

Hey! You had to acknowledge the accurate call-out, but couldn't properly respond, so you went with the absurdist, 'knowing' joke and feigned self-deprecation in lieu of defeat.

Also, you misspelled 'limpdick,' limpdick.

Which ep was that? I need to catch up.

Yup. A better plan is just make sure everyone who can vote actually loving votes (and also, everyone over 18 can vote). The fact that the actual winner of 2016's popular and electoral college was "didn't vote" is disgusting. How can we have a democracy when so many people are disenfranchised or are somehow of the mind that voting is pointless?

86 I think, one of the free ones. But yeah guys like Yug are basically just acting out a pretty thin playbook of provocations and canned responses (concern-trolling on liberal gripes like "should've just let the South secede" for example) as a way to get out their own frustration and alienation. I liked the African proverb they quoted, "If you don’t initiate your young men into the tribe, they will burn down the village". In a late-capitalist society that's abandoned the young and the poor while also gutting any leftist or socialist alternative, a lot of disaffected young guys are going to flock to nationalist/racist identities for a sense of belonging and purpose, especially if it's transgressive to an establishment that's never done anything for them anyway.

And it should've continued instead of being traded away, the consequences of which we saw play out across the 20th century as a wedge was driven between civil rights and labour rights, where the white working class could be broken off as a separate demographic instead of achieving multi-racial working class solidarity. Even now the language used in discussions about the 2016 election starts out conceding ground to Republicans by treating the labour based economic concerns of poor whites as discrete and even at-odds with the rights of minorities.

The debate going on between economic and social [liberals/leftists] (for which the Hillary/Bernie race became sort of a proxy) is painful but I really hope it leads to a synthesis down the road since most of the people involved on both sides agree on most of the important points but just don't seem to trust each other not to immediately throw their interests under the bus to get what they want. It'd basically take an Obama-esque figure emerging from obscurity at this point and even then a lot of Democrats are feeling a little burned on saviours riding in.

It'd have worked too if there wasn't a succession of mewling appeasers after the war. The South should have been ruled with an iron fist, those involved in the defeated Confederate government barred from government or banished/deported/executed.
