Actually lmao. There is absolutely truth to the idea that a huge chunk of the political class, Democratic and Republican, lives in an absurd bubble re: popular opinions. See that graph of what they think the public thinks versus what they actually think. But this? This is high comedy.

axeil posted:he's got a good historical buddy we can point to though! to follow up on this, this dude and his wife were both super brave and committed to hating the nazis while living in nazi germany quote:In 1931, hoping it would help him get a job, he joined the Nazi Party. In 1935, when he became engaged to Irma Eckler (a Jewish woman), he was expelled from the party. They registered to be married in Hamburg, but the Nuremberg Laws enacted a month later prevented it. On 29 October 1935, Landmesser and Eckler's first daughter, Ingrid, was born. publicly continuing your relationship after the nazis tell you to stop is brave as hell. everyone should be like August, he was a good dude.

The sad thing is, I see the actual military officers taking offence to Trump's rain bs, but the chuds who never served but worship the flag will find some way to deflect or defend this. This would have gotten Obama or Dubya absolutely hammered in the media.

Tibalt posted:he claims to be, while raw dogging porn stars. I know this line of attack, about pornstars and them implicitly being “dirty” was a common line against Trump, but it seems pretty slut shamey and stupid to me. Trump is a disgusting abuser of women and also just personally repulsive, why is the dunk that “he was willing to sleep with a pornstar, lol how dirty?” I dunno I know that’s sort of a macro cultural meme thing. Just seems dumb to me.

The Glumslinger posted:https://twitter.com/RawStory/status/1062010152071651329 I feel like Jessie from Breaking Bad: "How does he keep getting away with this?" I'm amazed at Trumps ability to both be and look, weak, pathetic and fragile, and some how not lose all the people who value an image of strength from the president. Like a big thing seems to be is that people like that Trump acts tough (somehow not seeing past what is usually just grandstanding rather then actual toughness) - but how do they ignore all these little things? Like as an outsider, he seems like a bigger embarrassment then Bush, yet the right act like he's stronger.

Like absolutely not, that is a thing he will randomly pull out to justify not touching certain types of people or why he eats gross food the way he does but he will also demand porn stars don't use condoms and will like, get all handsy and kissy on random women he's standing next to. It's something that has no consistancy and is very clearly just a cover story that only exists when someone asks why he didn't shake hands with xyz black person he was supposed to shake hands with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx7Uw1LNN_I

Also, last post because I don't want to cause a safe sex derail, unless you're absolutely certain of you and your partner's monogamy, you should be using a condom. Even then, considering the high rates of adultery, you should probably use a condom unless you're trying to have children. Make all sex safe sex and you don't need to worry about it.

Video game characters are generally powerful white dudes that change something for the better, and it’s wish fulfillment for useless white dudes that live in their parents’ basements and type up racist screeds on websites made for anonymous posting of gross pictures and pedophilia.  Edit: BigglesSWE posted:A former co-worker of mine is a nazi and a model train enthusiast. That hobby seems to attract lonely white mem so I’m not so sure it isn’t riddled with bigots.

Crow Jane posted:I thought porn stars were regularly screened for STIs and the like? I believe herpes is hard(impossible?) to detect outside of flare-ups. It's generally assumed that if you work in porn then you have it and just deal with it. The porn industry is insanely rigorous for testing for everything else though and the transfer of for example HIV in porn is incredibly rare.

The club non-profit organization -- founded by WWII pilots in 1965 -- is dedicated to preserving aviation history." So it sounds like it was out of a museum of sorts, not some proto-chud's backyard

Videogames are just uniquely the internet hobby so you uniquely see every aspect of them regardless of if you wanted to. I was going to say it's the communications piece to this. Video games allow people to connect to each other in ways not thought of 20-30 years ago and if white kids are spewing slurs during the weekly Halo match, you know there is a vulnerability to exploit in recruitment.
