keven patrick dawes is one of the hardest motherfuckers alive. holocaust survivors are the type of people most comparable to what he went through. this motherfucker lived for years in a syrian death camp and loving survived.

with all that said jesus loving christ i hope he's finally seeing a shrink and is properly medicated.

he's also the reason gip was the "ghoulish conspiracy mongering forum" for a while.

that he isn't dead was loving a-mazing

probably helped once they realized he was american or something they probably didn't actively try to kill him, but still

they were actually expecting someone else, iirc, when they were negotiating for an american to be released. caro was presumed dead at that point and suddenly out of the loving blue john kerry is helping him get on a loving plane in turkey.

no it's that if this were just a thing that came along with this tech and these content creators you'd be seeing this phenomena representing all sorts of different ideologies but for some reason it seems to exclusively represent the alt-right- implying that this could be deliberate effort

not that irony or hypocrisy are weapons against an ideology that craves power and hierarchy, but think about the purported left wing professors perverting the minds of undergrads vs stealth indoctrination in kid-targeted YouTube content and maybe you'll laugh feebly, like me

techbro coworkers were just talking about welfare and how they had to file for unemployment after their last job went under, and were shocked, shocked to find out that applying for and keeping unemployment is unimaginably hard.

conversation went on for a bit, started talking about how it's all specifically designed to gently caress you, how even if you get benefits they abruptly cut off the second you start making over a certain amount of money so you have an incentive not to succeed, most of them were in agreement that "poo poo's hosed" but one of them followed it up with "well maybe if people just took more personal responsibility and stopped relying on the government..." i reflexively responded with "dude i'm going to loving punch you in the face," he laughed and went "ok ok" and thought i was kidding. i was not kidding.

how can you simultaneously complain about how haaaaaard it is applying for unemployment for your fuckin' six figgie rear end and then turn around and say poor people just need to bootstraps harder, jesus christ what is wrong with some people aaagh
