The guy's too stupid to download Tinder and screencap unattractive women around his age. It's still be gross and lame to do but he doesn't even have the sub-average intelligence required to think that up.

I'm not insulting our short and/or bald kings but a bald, below average height guy with a poo poo beard who wears Faze clan merch when he's well over a decade past the age where that could even possibly be acceptable attacking the looks of women his age is incredible.

I imagine a lot of it is due to society tolerating a much wider array of "attractive" when it comes to men vs women. As usual the kids are rejecting this a lot and it owns.

It's funny in the replies because someone posted an OKCupid chart that shows that men are more generous with what percent of women they'll rate as attractive/more attractive/most attractive to try to own everyone mocking Keemstar. Then someone pointed out that the same "study" showed men pretty much only message the women in the "most attractive" cohort while women messaged guys across attractiveness ratings.

Does anyone on the right give a gently caress about Dinesh anymore?

Actually I'm a bit surprised he lasted as long as he did. Right after high school me and a friend snuck into 2012: Obama's America for a very sneaky hatewatch without giving him money, being big brain geniuses, and it wasn't even worth the hatewatch. It was gibberish. Like end-of-life Reagan nonsense.

Dinesh got his start by stealing the membership papers of the gay student association at Dartmouth and publishing it in his lovely student newspaper. In the early 80s. He’s been at this a long time and knows no other life.

Lol my parents came to visit and my dad really wanted to take the entire family to see that movie. Not only was it completely stupid but it made me lose respect for my dad to see him defend it.

At least my dad agreed that the part where Dinesh blamed his felony conviction on Obama persecuting his political opinions was stupid.

Ok so the NSA spying is Obama's totalitarian nightmare, but wasn't he just continuing what Bush did, didn't Bush pass the Patriot Act, didn't you and Dinesh support Bush?
"Bush was part of the establishment, I'm anti-establishment now"

She might have done it too, but she’s a bit younger I think. He definitely went out and outer gay students en masse in the early 80s. Supposedly a lot of people’s family’s found out because of it. Also because it was the 80s he didn’t get expelled for it.

Dinesh blaming Obama for his conviction is pretty rich since it was his wife at the time who turned him in because he was cheating on her, while president of a Christian college. Also she accused him of beating her, which given everything else I know about him makes sense to me.

One of his first books Illiberal Education was reviewed well and he was set to have a career as a respectable mainstream commentator. He then followed that up with the End of Racism which was pilloried and destroyed any shot he had at a mainstream career and all his actions since have been lashing out at having that career taken from him.

I stayed in a hotel in Santa Fe a couple of years back at which Newsmax was the ONLY news channel available. Not even boring rear end HLN. And like, it was quite a nice hotel aside from that one very weird detail. I don't know if the owner/operator was some sort of chudly type (I don't recall but I think it may have been independent? It was fairly luxe tho), or if they were just idiots and that was what the lineup was in whatever package they subscribed to (no idea how that works with hotels), but I did register my dissatisfaction with that at checkout, and have not used that hotel since. I know that's nothing in the grand scheme of things, but like, Newsmax and OAN should not be on basic cable packages and get that revenue share. They've both campaigned hard to demand their providers carry them, and they're dependent on that for their continued existence. There needs to be more pressure to get them removed. Fox is bad for a lot of reasons, but Newsmax and OAN are dangerously extreme and should be behind opt-in paywalls.

i been barking about this kind of boycott , but the problem is that the shrinking cable base is in fact regressive, so cable tv providers listen to where some of their money comes from.

Yeah, because when I consider Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones the first thing that comes to mind is white male angst. Not all those black blues musicians whose music they ripped off and got rich from. I'm saying this as a fan of the Stones and Led Zeppelin.

I totally forgot that time Obama single handedly destroyed rock and roll. WTF?

I still kind of feel like Fox News is more dangerous in some ways? Maybe I'm wrong. But like it's the thing I sort of mentioned with 4chan before. The people who watch Newsmax and OAN are like the people who go to 8chan or Stormfront; they're already completely radicalized died-in-the-wool Nazis and already pose an existential threat to civilization. There's no saving them, only minimizing the damage they deal.
But Fox News for boomers, and 4chan for millennials and zoomers, is the radicalization pipeline. It's what people who are still people engage with until they have been sufficiently poisoned to the point they are ready for the real poo poo. Most people are not so psychotic, even Conservatives, that they are fully ready to embrace Nazism off the bat; they need to be radicalized and eased into it.

Yeah, the point doesn't even make sense on its own merits. There are sub-genres that are largely white guy angst (grunge, numetal) but Rock and Roll is an enormous genre encompassing everything from Elvis Presley to The Beatles to Stone Temple Pilots and a million others. The idea that it's all about any one thing is absurd.
