Reading the comments of an Ars Technical article about three women Uber engineers suing the company for discrimination was illuminating. Any post that starts with “If you buy into the Holocaust[...]” is going to be a roller coaster.

I go with the realist angle. The whining that Blacks do has gotten on many people's nerves, mine included. They are the only group to do so much whining and demanding for things that clearly they are not entitled to. Then to turn around and act as bad or worse than the very Whites they claim are racist are then say its normal is the best example of doublethink I've encountered to date.

For those that buy into the Holocaust, for example, the Jews have *way* more reason to whine to the German peoples. Do they? No. Not even close to the level Blacks have done.

You seem to think that called someone a White supremacist immediately negates any truth they post. Try harder junior.

Ah. Tech.

He's got enough money to bankroll his own publishing, and it's not like there aren't right wing influenced publishers.

He wrote a novel about a tv reporter who murders a bunch of people to get revenge from his ouster from his network. It's been pointed out that the situation described in the novel is eerily similar to how he left CBS.

He had a fiction book that was about how some people conspired to murder Patton after the war that my uncle gave me one year for Christmas. But later on my uncle got drunk and asked me how I could sleep safe at night when my cross the hall neighbors are Muslims so I stuck it in a box somewhere and forgot about it.

Lmfao at the picture of Lee at the head of his army

Lee was such a shitshow at Gettysburg that historians have debated ever since whether he was loving bedridden with some heart issue or his career was a sham built on the ability of cavalry scouts.

Like the only other figure with as much :wtf: discussion was McClellan and for the most part historians have figured out that he thought the rebel forces were like 5x the size they actually were.

The Army of Northern Virginia just wasn't the same after Jackson got killed. And it was about that time, post-Chancellorsville, when the Union started to run out of complete blithering fools and promote people (Hancock, Grant, Sherman, Meade) who were actually good at their jobs.

You need some way to rationalize how the south thought they had a winning chance. Believing their treasonous hearts had conscripted an extra few hundred thousand southern sons ready to martyr themselves for slavery was McClellans

Right wing radio got grandpa riled up enough that he called his congressman, congressman realizes that the magic word "Hillary" makes any GOP voter collapse into a frothing rage and ignore anything else that's going on around them = Hillary sold all our uranium to Russia for reasons.
