That Iron Pill bullshit resonates at exactly the right frequency of "idiot shutin fascist" that I know it can't possibly be serious and yet still get too angry reading it to finish it.

Congratulations, Internet, you found something I can't just laugh at.

Melopepo is a kind of squash, google tells me. Squash-headed, maybe?

I hope, for this guy's sake, that he's just hopelessly far up his own rear end in a top hat and not actually disabled. :smith:

The comparison between Helldump and LF and a Maoist purge is kind of interesting, but it requires you to assume that LF was the main reason for Helldump's existence.

So he's actually saying punching him in the face is an acceptable alternative to talking to him.

I mean, I get that you're joking, but if you punch him in the face once and he still disagrees with you, then the first bullet still holds true.

He's advocating for beating him until he changes his mind.

And probably almost nobody would deny the important factor the US are in Mexican cartel crime (though I'd guess the money/drugs being illegal is a much more important factor), but to argue it is actually the US, and just the US, that's to blame here is a massive, insulting, and I argue racist, denial of agency of the Mexicans involved.

Non-white people are entirely capable of being just as awful as white people, completely on their own. Of course, western-made weaponry and the legacy of colonialism help. But they're neither necessary nor sufficient.

It's not so much that white people are the unique genesis of racial prejudice, but instead because they created a world in which the practice of systemically racist national policies was necessary to compete.

That sounds like morphogenetic fields and neurolinguistic programming to me - maybe it helps you personally conceptualize something you experience in your personal life, but it does not seem any more connected to actual science than yoga.

I hope I can elucidate this for you: It is a common Neoreactionary tactic to take some unsupported bias of their own and align it with some actual scientific phenomenon, usually biological, to better pretend their bias is a fact of nature. That is what Virtue Signalling is, rhetorically - taking "I don't think you're REALLY a good person" and aligning it with "you only act good because :biotruths: makes you more likely to reproduce if you do."

That is what people are trying to tell you.

Assembly is practical. It is a minimal 1-to-1 mapping of what the machine really does to some word-like things to help you see what's going on.

TBQH arguing from this thread to Twitter and back about which Outgroup is the most Obliviously Heterogeneous is lovely and dumb.

Groups of people normalize over time, it's just what they do. We don't hate Rev DDS for joining the Other, we hate him because he espouses terrible-rear end regressive opinions.

Lady Naga, is it really incomprehensible to you that someone could enjoy watching dogshit movies to laugh at the incompetence of their creators? Like one might enjoy watching Davis Aurini fail to signal masculinity.

the opening is lovely, but the gist is "the NYT claims to be exposing its viewers to the right wing, but the right wing voices it hires are dismal liberal-friendly caricatures, and the real right wing is ravening grievance politics"
