My favorite Dale Reed thing was his undying hatred of Jim Henson, who he claims to have beaten up.

My favorite is when someone said mullet festooned rednecks and he started yelling what the gently caress is a festoon the only mullets I know are the fish I dynamited back in the 70s

The man loved fast cars, beer, smoking, and women. Fairly certain in that order, too. Aside from the hatred of muppets, other hates included hats (and the people that wore them, probably). Especially a hat worn indoors, iirc.

Trump is in power and is killing children in concentration camps and still they wail as if the world is ending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-MP_yOHiV0 More applicable to the alt-right, which despite sharing the same views Freep is highly disconnected from, but the same principle should apply.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:With muslims in particular, freepers also face the problem of that France decided to conquer a muslim country and then declare it an integral part of France, and they're now shocked and offended that some of those new frenchmen preferred to remain in France than stay in or return to the now-independent Algeria. It's great that the nationalist strategy for hanging onto Algeria was to convince the population to want to be Frenchmen, and then when it works on some Algerians those same nationalists hate the new Frenchmen more than anything. Although I guess it's not like your chud on the street really thinks through what it means when your country expands into new territory, and they'd say making Algerians citizens was only done out of politically-correct gutlessness and not military necessity.

I am surprised that these people just keep on going. But as you've listed it, it's an addiction. For those who had been around for the Obama win in '08, remember hillaryis44.com? Welp, they're still around. Still loco. Still got cumfiesta posting up a storm. I am also interested to see offshoots of left wing sites also are prone to going completely conspiracy theory nuts. A fair few pro-Bernie sites went mental and are now regurgitating conspiracy theories at a steady rate. I have no idea whether they are genuine people gone bonkers, or merely ratfuckers shitposting. Regardless, it seems it can happen to anyone. Unlike Freep and the like though, they don't advocate for nearly as much murder, ethnic cleansing or genocide.

They don't care about whether those antigay groups still get money or not, they want LGBT people to be publicly attacked

Nobody has seen a SavageSusie screed in a while either, I don’t think. Not that anyone there ever really responded to her long rants about Natural Law, I just think that’s the one place she found that didn’t ban her for them.

I have to wonder what kind of life it is to be angry and resentful all the time, eventually gasping your last while cursing everyone else around you. I really don't think there is pretty much anything outside a completely white ethnostate for the US which would make these guys happy, free of liberals and hippies. But even then, I just know something would rankle them. Probably the fact that the rest of the world also wasn't this way I guess.

It can only build on itself when it has someone to otherize and oppress. Without a 'untermensch' to blame everything on, they will turn on each other. Suddenly what was considered 'Good' will change to favor a narrower and narrower field of people, and whomever doesn't make the cut becomes the new whipping boy. It's why fascism is always destined to fail, but in the process of failing a lot of people end up dead.

I kinda figured the residual crowd would make a big deal of his death, but then again as I recall his son was in on the grift about how much they claimed it cost to keep the servers running each month, so he might not say anything to keep them freepbucks flowing.

He isn't reliant on GoFundMe, he got lots of people to set up monthly cash transfers to him. The best healthcare the other FReepers can't afford. Seriously, the dude has been coasting for 20 years now off this site, he basically hit the lottery, at the cost of paying his son many thousands a month to drive out to the data center a few times a year. He doesn't even bother reinvesting in the site, I'd be totally unsurprised to find out they're running on a version of Windows so old that none of the malware out there these days can do anything to it.
