I want to see cars executed on live television. Provide an object lesson. Maybe over-parodize it by having a much larger car with comically large tires and shocks run them over. Like, really over the top poo poo, you know? Teach 'em a lesson.

BiggerBoat posted:Pretty much this has been my experience. They just keep doubling down and even when faced irrefutable facts and proof that GWB or Trump has screwed the pooch, they'll just say something about Al Gore or Hillary. poo poo, for several months in 2002, I was terrified to speak out against the Iraq war. Didn't stop me but I still remember and the collective ability of these meatheads to resist logic and learning, as though attrition were a virtue in and of itself, is tiring. I really think this is the true power of Fox News. Mostly I think it doesn't convert people to becoming right wingers. What it does is feed right wingers a bunch of talking points to parrot that forms a sort of mental armor against leaving team rightwing when they gently caress up, like the GWB administration. The talking points don't have to stand up to any real scrutiny, and they rarely do, but as long as they have something to recite, it's enough justification why the Dems are worse and why they should stay with team Red.

SpeakSlow posted:I want to see cars executed on live television. Provide an object lesson. Nah. It'd never work. The government would just fix it so all the hybrids and the electric cars would win every time. Or it'd be like WWE and the ref would be some nerdy global warming scientist dork that fixes the match or one of the managers would be some corn growing ethanol guy in overalls from the heartland. Now monster truck shows...that's where you can see true, unadulterated, patriotic, capitalistic freedom on display, my man, if you wanna see cars a-gettin' wrecked. You'll well up and cry bald eagle eggs.

I imagine stock cars with electric engines. Where you go to the dirt track and it sounds like a herd of cattle stampeding across a service road. The crunch of tin cladding and screams of the drivers as the silent Outlaws flip through the air. I imagine drag strips where the loudest noise the dragsters make is in the burnout box. Where souped-up Teslas quietly whish by empty stands. I imagine douchebag teenagers having to put waterproof speakers on the outside their cars and program synthesizers to simulate the sound of a terrible, terrible, like really badly done exhaust modification. gently caress your car culture. Question for the conspiracy guy. Are there chemtrails coming-up? That's my favorite part of the song. It's like a guitar solo, but with a mouthful of dicks. ============================================= EDIT: Sorry BB, I'll contribute.

Yet the cars of today with much smaller engines have more power, use less fuel, and are much more reliable than the cars of the 60s. Perhaps that shift in engine sizes has less to do with some boogeyman and more to do with technological advancements.

You would think Soros would be able to find accusers and actors that didn't have anything in their past you could call them out on. Hell, or even get one to pretend to be a right wing person for a decade or two and then claim sexual assault on whoever.

Hillary never being in office hasn't stopped her being the target either. So clearly post-Soros Hillary and Obama will lead the Rothschild in some sort of dual-monarchy, like William III and Mary II of England.

Sadly for Alex Jones talking point man and his imaginary buddies: roads, quite like rails, are pretty much only useful for taking you to where they're built! Once you examine the usage data, very few Americans actually drive in perfect straight offroad lines from destination to destination. The best part of those inane smokesumthin talking points comes from post-Amtrak GOP pushback. Trains were once loved by Randian psychos and captains of industry and cold-hearted autists, but since we might reinvest in public transit and light rail and move away from having a nation dependent on commuter cars paid for with debt... Anything but driving a dangerous, weak and wasteful 1950 fart truck (homebrew leaded gas?) with the exhaust feeding back into the cabin is apparently an assault on liberty. Now even a car partially driving you to a place you choose is somehow a kind of affront, I guess. Glad to have the progressives (and the warm-hearted autists) on my team?

I think my favorite part of his Agenda 21 rant was the claim that Europe is getting rid of internal combustion cars. When they instead have decided to let all the big auto manufacturers get away with massively cheating emissions standards on their diesels with not even a slap on the wrist.

We must preserve internal combustion engines for Scandinavians: both for emergency heating they output alongside their work, and for humane repentant suicide via carbon monoxide after minarets become mandatory adornments on the last of their stave-churches.

Did you even watch the video you posted? The worst thing we've done to discourse is treating absolutely disengenuous arguments as things worth giving attention to and contesting. That interpretation of the video deserves nothing more than "no."
