I don't know if this was the one you were thinking of but goddamn if it doesn't make me laugh every time I think of it:

Wait, he ruined Christmas for his wife, children, and sons-in-law? Do these people want to die cold and alone?

If an undercover cop/government agent asks you "Do you want to commit a crime?" and you say yes, that isn't entrapment. It also wouldn't be entrapment if they provided you with materials to commit a crime. The reason is because you could always say "I do not want to commit a crime." It's only entrapment if they put you in a position where you feel forced to commit a crime. Like if an undercover cop posing as a drug dealer were to say "Buy some drugs or I'll shoot you." That would be entrapment.

Eh, gay to mean bad is a more recent trend (that is declining, thank the gods) due to the AIDS epidemic and the increased attention for gay rights. Gay, and human being and all the other ones, became a lovely shibboleth to prove how straight you were; most outgrow it but freep-types don’t. But before the 80’s—and some cracking before from Stonewall et al and loosening sexual mores—heterosexuality was so pervasive that that lovely shibboleth was less necessary. Obviously 50’s and 60’s America was rampantly homophobic but kids weren’t using gay interchangeably with bad like my closeted child-self was in the 90’s and 00’s.

tldr: I’d be way less surprised to hear a freeper complain about how gay used to mean happy until the queers ruined it, than to use gay to mean “bad”

edit: rereading the posts above it’s about calling people gay which ya has always been a thing and not the “poo poo is gay” sense which I would still find weird from an older person but I’ll just leave this block of text anyway

Yeah there were a few reddit/GA posts on that, mostly trolls but a bunch of people were like "this is how they prepare us/first they mock you/how brazen to just admit it like this" etc.

Class and education are very tightly linked.

And what happens when you focus on critical thinking in chud schools they pull them out and homeschool them or send them to private religious schools or they get on the PTA board and/or lobby state governments to allow parents to sign their kids out of anything they find objectionable.

Both of my parents subscribe to the "choice" view of homosexuality and when I asked them why you'd choose to do something that is going to get you persecuted, their response was that all the gay men or women they know had a bad and abusive childhood which caused it. It's an interesting hybrid rationalization.

The third movie is about him joining the Mujahideen so that's kinda rad.

Notre Dame Cathedral on Fire

While there's no official cause of the fire yet, most people are pointing towards it being tied to building renovations, and is almost certainly a terrible accident.

Doesn't stop Freep though!

The internet has enabled it to become the Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory. They're desperate to find some known, external cause for all the things that aren't going right in order to deal with the disappointment in Trump not being competent enough to keep his word and follow through. If they admit to themselves that he is, was, and always will be a fraud, where does that leave their worldview?

If the Dems manage to get their poo poo together and win in 2020, I both can't wait to drink freeper tears and also can't wait to create a survival bunker for the inevitable chud violence.

I will never get over “actually the confederacy was good but THEY don’t want you to know that the Democrats did the confederacy” poo poo.

How do you not see how stupid that line is

jojoinnit posted:

And why do they think it's a defence? "We didn't enslave you because we're racist but because it made us money" doesn't make anything better.

E: and also ignores all the literature of the time such as the Confederate Constitution...

I know they didn't absorbed anything from the Bible nor their few trips to worship. These keyboard warriors just look it up as they need it. Remember, Freepers are made up of the generation that thinks going to church and listening to the game in their earbuds instead of the pastor is somehow praiseworthy. If you had an opportunity IRL to ask these morons about any of this Bible poo poo they keep posting they'd be helpless. I've met children in Sunday School that have a more thorough understanding of the Bible than all of Freep combined.
