sweart gliwere posted:https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/08/21/qanon-2020-election/ Sometimes, when I bother and/or run into it, I'll ask if "if this were in a movie, a TV show or a book (and I'll mix in soap opera or "reality" show) would it seem a little over the top? But usually I just scoff, write them off, ignore them, block, unfriend and call them morons because I just can't anymore with this. I wonder what would happen if you actually started texting and PM'ing them, pretending to be a part of it and deep undercover wiht like a direct line to Q or something? Dug in deep, scared, full of information, "they're watching me" and having seen things no one would believe before you bounced out with "psyche! Just fuckin with ya! It's all bulllshit. Can't believe you feel for this stupidity" I just lost my job and I swear I gotta figure out a way to get on this RW grift. A deep undercover run that gets exposed might be fun actually.

Given how often so much of these accusations center around child porn and how given these types are to projection I've honestly begun to think that child sex trafficking might be as big a problem as they say it is.

What were they under W. Bush? ALso, I whipped this one up for what's left of my conservative FB friends that you can use if you want. AFAIK, I've never been FW>FW>FWD before. I don't get all this stuff about Cancel Culture. I mean...what even is that? I don't know what any of you are even talking about. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go steamroll some Dixie Chicks CD's, set fire to some Colin Kaepernick jerseys and my Nike sneakers, eat some Freedom Fries, dump all my bottles of Heinz condiments and Ben & Jerry's ice cream down the sink, ban Dungeons and Dragons and Harry Potter books from libraries, sue Judas Priest for a kid's suicide, not vote for people who don't wear flag lapel pins, boycott Jane Fonda movies, flush some Kellogg's cereal down the toilet, work on my front page newspaper layout turning French people into rats, not laugh at Kathy Griffin, piss on Dan Rather's grave, fire Bill Maher, make some Caitlyn Jenner jokes, Tweet some poo poo at David Hogg and very aggressively get back to my normal routine of aggressively not watching NFL football or NBA basketball. Especially the Dallas Mavericks for not playing a song that is a fundamental and essential element of enjoying a sporting event.

I saw the Obama "real Presidents don't bow" one a lot and if I remember right it was him meeting the Saudis because a lot of the counter memes showed W Bush holding hands and kissing them and poo poo. It's a dumb thing to get worked about either way so I just threw it on the tan suit and lapel pin pile of poo poo that only crazy people loving worry about. My step mom sent me a few FW>FW>FW links before she died of the ones where Obama pledged allegiance with the wrong hand, didn't stand for the pledge and a few others that a quick visit to Snopes would have easily put to bed. I wonder sometimes where she and my dad might have fallen on the MAGA Trump poo poo and honestly think it's best they didn't live long enough for me to find out. They passed within 6 months of each other and never got to witness Obama's Socialist Muslim Takeover. I know my Dad would have been all in on the anti BLM protests and big on sucking off cops since he hoarded guns waiting for a race war, worshiped authority and strongly disliked "those people". I had to sell or give away a lot of his firearms after he died. His wife was more of a "new to the internet" so everything she read was true and "things are tradition for a reason so don't question things" type that was all in on empty platitudes, religious rites, supporting the troops and how if you just worked hard you'll make tons of money.

Orange Devil posted:It's been said before but a solid 40%+ of the American electorate doesn't understand that the US is an empire which regularly shakes down its allies and uses its military power to ensure it gets very favorable access to scarce resources literally all the time. In the not too distant future, presidential and political debates will degenerate into Springer episodes where one nerdy person explains policy issues, the other calls him a commie, starts a fight and the studio audience chants "USA! USA! USA!" instead of "Jerry! Jerry!" "USA! USA! USA!" is basically a foreign policy. Near as I can tell from the FW>FW>FW> emails. A century from now, it'll just be a fight to the death. Remember Guilliani's "trial by combat" remark? Semi unrelated, I went to a Pearl Jam concert in Jacksonville, FL and a group of about 5 very drunk rednecks sitting a few rows in front of us tried to get a "USA" chant going after "Even Flow" or "Jeremy" or whatever the hit was. Surprised it didn't catch, tbh, and they tried twice. It was like watching someone futilely trying to start The Wave at a football game. My friend pointed to them both times, turned to me and asked "what does that even mean?" Indeed. I think it just means "good thing good, therefore 'USA'", since the USA is good, which leads to weird poo poo like Trump dry humping a U.S. Flag and litmus tests like mandatory lapel pins for politicians or standing for the anthem. So weird.

Panfilo posted:I've been seeing a big uptick in fwd:fwd:fwd type rants about how trans HS athletes are robbing cis women of their hard earned scholarships by competing in women only events. The new boogeyman/boogeywoman/boogeyperson. Conservatives are always the last to know anything. It's right there in their self appointed label and reflected in the music they listen to and movies they watch. They want things to always be the same and always need an enemy that's trying to change things. Back in the day it was race mixing, gays, teaching evolution, draft dodgers, weed, women's rights... They can't pick on that poo poo anymore because the vast majority of the country is fine with it and always has to DRAG these people kicking and screaming into a new decade/era. I haven't seen a "MAN PLUS WOMAN = MARRIAGE" bumper sticker in some time now but they were ubiquitous for a good while. Transgender people are the new frontier for them that upsets their Biblical apple cart, which is aided a lot by how few people fall into that category. They like to pick on the weak and the powerless. Since anything "new" is scary and always an affront to the word of God, having to adjust their pronouns in normal conversation is just a bridge too far. Nothing has changed or can every be different from a book written and selectively read 2000 years ago that already solved everything.

VitalSigns posted:You gotta give him a minute, memes about how this is all the fault of California hippies, butt-loving, wind power, and Democrats in Austin take time to be developed and spread through Boomer Facebook groups. I was gonna say give them time. With Rush Limbaugh being dead it's going to take some time for them to get their smart rear end burns and stupid talking points in order, given that big fat vacuum he left. It would usually take 24-48 hours anyway until I started to hear all the conservabots at work repeating the same memes in the lunchroom. I expect when it comes (and it will), it'll be something along the lines of what you wrote and have something to do with green energy, regulations and all the people from California moving to Texas. Certainly it won't be the fault of the state's conservative government and, even if it is, then that just goes to prove how bad government works so check and mate, libtards.

The flag is fine and I don't much give a gently caress what it looks like. Just that people use it on their internet avatars, their clothes, hats, plaster it all over their cars, erect flagpoles in their yards and I just KNOW that they suck. It's a weird type of virtue signaling expressing a "love" of something they can't even really explain except that "it's good". Like rooting for the face in a wrestling match against the Iranian/Japanese/African dude because "booooo, those guys....USA! USA! USA!" or having a loving conniption fit about wearing USA flag lapel pins. I wish I wasn't automatically conditioned to dislike someone that is ostensibly expressing love and pride for their country but here I am. I feel the same way about people that aggressively express their religious faith and, more and more, these two things are usually intertwined. Not too wild about a theocratic dictatorship that worships a real estate salesman. EDIT: Also, as a graphic designer, I run into a poo poo TON of businesses that want their logo/walls/cars/flyers laid out with the U.S. flag and it's REALLY hard to make text readable when I use it since it's high contrast and very busy. But every other car repair place or AC installer is "All American" this, "Eagle" that or some brash commercial use of a symbol that is supposed to mean "freedom". It's very hard to reverse out or overprint 8 point text on a business card that has the flag on it and make it readable and still make room for the starburst.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:This is true of anyone with any national flag in their profile pic, in my experience. The richer the country the bigger the rear end in a top hat, so if someone has like, Kenya they might be alright. Yeah but there's something about the U.S. flag in particular. I've heard and read a lot of feedback from tourists and immigrants that are always taken aback at how ubiquitous our old glory worship is here and how it's not like that in other nations. I was listening to something today on NPR -- some sort of government deal -- and still don't know what it was but it sounded bad since all I had time to listen to was all the members recite the pledge of allegiance and play the star spangled banner. It's really loving creepy Orange Devil posted:The American flag symbolizes being a huge rear end in a top hat, yes. I know and it loving blows.

IDGAF if that dude does any of those things or if it makes him happy in the slightest. I like a lot of Bugs Bunny cartoons and some of Dr. Seuss' stuff. It's crazy how much of this is simple projection where these folks claim that liberals like me are going out of their way to constantly be offended by poo poo when that's almost 100% everything about the conservative movement. They act like the very concept of something "used to be considered funny but isn't so much anymore" is an affront to humor in and of itself and that nothing ever evolves or changes. In fact, they don't really want things to evolve or change which is weird to me.

Like...I didn't even know where to start with that, just did an "LOL" and asked her to read what she just wrote again. But doesn't every wall serve both purposes by definition? Guess I got owned pretty hard there on that one. It's kind of like the old "you hate capitalism yet you have a job" and "you hate fossil fuels yet you drive a car" levels of discourse.

I swear to god if WW2 happened today we'd loving lose because nobody would want to lose their freedoms by even making small sacrifices for the greater good. Having to wear a mask and standing 6 feet apart is soooo much harder than rationing gas to 2 gallons a week. quote:During the war, the federal government imposed rations on such things as butter, sugar, coffee, canned fruits and vegetables, meat and canned milk, using a point system imposed on all grocery stores. "Tyranny", I say but also "support the troops!" and claiming to be a patriot. The covid 19 death toll all but matches the number of Americans killed in World War II, Korea and Vietnam combined.

Grimdude posted:"Lazy" has always seemed like such an odd negative characteristic that gets overused by racists/conservatives in general. Are most humans not some degree of lazy? Would we not prefer to do less work over more? Aside from higher pay, which sometimes has diminishing returns anyway, isn't the point of "moving up" so that you don't have to do as much menial work? That's true but they don't typically use it to deride Asian people for some reason. They seem to reserve it for "the darker the skin color, the lazier they are", which I'd honestly never really thought about but GTFO either way with that poo poo anyway. The black and Hispanic coworkers I know who work thankless labor bust their loving asses at thankless tasks. I've come across a ton of lazy white people and the worst ones were always like some relative of a boss or of the owner who acted like they totally worked their rear end off to get there and never seemed to stop deriding everyone else for not working hard enough. The ones whose "Uncle got them the job" often seemed to be ones who were the most outspoken about Carlos the janitor and his lazy habits or poo poo like that.
