Keeshhound posted:You're forgetting "I should have voted for Hillary." Trump has been a fascinating time for freep because he keeps doing poo poo that pisses them off, and they can't handle it any way except declaring him to be the Antichrist, then memory holing everything so we can start all over again. I thought we were in peak doublethink era where Trump is simultaneously the antichrist whenever he does something wrong and God's Anointed/Jesus Made Flesh at all other times?

Are the same posters saying both things or is there just not a decision on which faction gets zotted yet?

jojoinnit posted:I don't know if that's a good idea. Part of what makes this cathartic kinda is that it's a forum full of users who have aged as poorly as the site they cling to. It's impotent yelling by old people but the same thing written by somebody in their 30-40s would probably feel much more visceral and soul-tearing. That's how it started though, visceral and soul tearing. It's just aged into impotent rage, not that it was ever anything else. The reason why I haven't done it or started a horrible thread filled with quotes from ar15 is because I personally have a hard time looking at it for very long while freep wasn't as bad, but sometimes I think it was in the beginning.

Its not as funny when a Freeper is President. Gonna be phenomenal if Trump loses, tho. I've been reading these threads since Bush but obviously none of us have the stomach for it under Trump.

There is no way they will ever be able to memory hole Trump the way they would any other GOP president. He is the distilled essence of freep more than any other president that has ever been. He is a true freeper who just happened to have been born rich. If any significant portion of the forum tried to disown him it would cause shitfights and schisms that could lead to the death of the site, particularly at a time where younger freep types are probably joining other newer lovely forums or just freeping out on facebook, and older freepers are either dying off or slowly migrating to those other forums or formats.

I've said it before, but I find Freep downright quaint now. When you have people my age spouting off literal Nazi racial thoeries, Freep's standard old man racism seems almost lighthearted

It's the same  logic that has Freep saying the El Paso shooter is a flaming liberal because he believes in climate change. Since the Koch's didn't give a drat about establishing Christian Sharia and only wanted to enslave brown people, not genocide them they were obviously dyed in the wool leftists.

Why would anyone think the Kochs are Jewish except for anti-semitic conspiracy theory reasons? Just because of Ed Koch?

Bloodnose posted:Why would anyone think the Kochs are Jewish except for anti-semitic conspiracy theory reasons? Just because of Ed Koch? Koch is a German name and as a result is common in those of Ashkenazi background. So people just assumed because he had a common Jewish name and was famously rich he must be Jewish. It's boilerplate antisemitism.

ETA: In college I went on a Jewish youth group trip to DC because it was practically free (AIPAC, sigh) and out of 17 students on the trip, 11 were male and 6 of those were named David.

pookel posted:The name "David" is also ridiculously common among Jews. I used to think he was Jewish too, not because of the money but because "David [German surname]" just sounds Ashkenazi-coded. I am a Jew named David but I also share this name with David Koch and David Duke so it doesn't really work one to one. It's just a very common name from a very popular bible character.

Between 1950 and 1970, about 1 out of every 25 boys born in the US was named "David", and currently about 3 million Davids live in the US. It's honestly pretty weird and hosed up if people are going around assuming all the Davids are likely to be Jewish.

it's wild to me that ppl think the Kochs were jewish; growing up in Kansas, it's a pretty safe assumption that a wealthy elite living around these parts is Anglo-Germanic as gently caress we got a handful of jewish socialites, loads of ordinary jews, and scads of semi-jewish unitarians, but the people who actually run things are the whitest you can imagine

Where does “it was about making money and therefore can’t be racism” come from? I remember some politician said it a month or two ago. Just another way of denying that racism ever did or could exist?
