Dalereed is gone.

A salute to a fallen foe. Across the gulf of progress and time, you were a principled rear end in a top hat and a true shitposter. Your legacy, your tar and beer stained mark upon the internet, shall not be forgotten by friend or foe. For life is our personal story, and the pages of your necronomicon-esque book of bigotry, misogyny and hot rods shall remain long after the pamphlet-like racist manchildren turn to dust. A legend can never truly die.

:rip: in peace you hateful gently caress. I hope hell has Coors.

Those are certainly related questions, but the question I was addressing was how many so-called leftists and supporters of freedom and democracy and human rights are willing to sell us out to preemptively get pissy on behalf of an abusive dictatorship. The answer is apparently "drat near all".

Eh, I support checking more of China's influence, and Taiwan seems to be a means to that end.

But between his personal holdings in the country, the completely unadvised and unplanned nature of the event and Trump's ease of being manipulated by the smallest of things, I think there is cause for worry.

You know what would be incredibly awesome on a moral level? If Trump said "Israel is an apartheid state, and we will not support them until they no longer abuse Palestinians." It would be fantastic.

Do you know what kind of chaos that would cause if he actually said that?

"Now you have Israel, and I'm a big fan of Israel, folks. Great people. They're our friends. But look at how they treat Palestine. Look at it. It's shameful. The wages are shameful, the work sucks, and the army just steps all over em. All over Palestine, and no one says a thing. Well, I'm gonna say something. I support Palestine. I do. I really do."

More like disinformation technology. The worst is that there seems to be no good way to fight it.

I want to say that we can fight it. That through education and persistence we can fight poo poo like this and make a difference. But I can't.

NPR recently ran a segment on 1A about how the internet was supposed to be the greatest educational tool, and that information would flow like never before. But, instead, it's mostly turned into a series of camps and tribes that often confirm our biases rather than stop them, and even given voice to worse ideas that were once on a downward spiral.

So, yeah, we are kinda hosed.

This "he's a member of the Blue Team so all his accusers are lying whores paid by Steve Bannon" mentality is a disturbing thing to see from people who are supposedly on our side.

People mocking conservatives for defending assholes and falling for fake news, then immediately defending Franken and promoting conspiracy theories about sabotage is a whole new level of dissonance that's kinda sad to see.

Jesus, this is just pathetic that you would get upset that none of ARE TR00PZ are talking heads. Really the worst generation.

Here's the thing: if we did end up at news networks, they would say we were leeches and leftist plants anyways. Unless we toe the line they don't give a gently caress about servicemembers. Hell, John McCain is a great example, as even being a lovely vet meant nothing because he wasn't lovely enough.

These dudes have their goalposts on a rail, ready to move at a moment's notice. Because it's not about reality, its about the perceived win and the gratification of being 'right'.

It's the opposite now. Mega-churches have coffee shops, maybe a library, and a bunch of other services and places that you might frequent as a family specifically so they can replace your community in every way possible so getting shunned would essentially destroy your entire life.

One near me even put in a skate park they called Golgotha.

The Megachurch Ideal needs to be directly confronted and destroyed.

I assume he’s in the SCA

Having been to one large event and a handful of smaller ones, the SCA people I've ran into tend to be decent folks who are usually just happy to have more people to dress up in silly outfits and smack with sticks. Badass parties though. Then again this is all anecdotal and I imagine that it attracts its own section of racist assholes pining for 'better times'.

Then again, pretty much every resource talks about how they don't tolerate hate symbols even in historical context. They had a dust up a few years back with 'problematic imagery' (straight-up swastikas under the guise of authenticity) being worn by a king and queen from SoCal, who ended up abdicating and pretty much kicked within a month, and the person who made it getting a blacklist at large. It's still lovely and one of the reasons I've yet to actually join or pay dues, but they at least seemed to respond to it better than a lot of places I've seen.

Not according to right wing gun nuts.

The NRA used to be about gun safety and "You should lock up your guns" was pretty well accepted as being responsible and safe, but when they pivoted to "You need ALL THE GUNS to protect yourself from the [thugs] that are out to rob your house and kill you in your bedroom!" that went out the window. Now the talking point is that it's unsafe to keep your guns locked up and unloaded because what if people break into your house and rush into your bedroom to murder you? You can't be fumbling with the combination to a gun safe or trying to find the keys to unlock the trigger or going to get your ammo case, that just results in your entire family dying! You have to have loaded guns right next to you and ready to fire so you can wake up, roll over and immediately grab it and start blasting!

gently caress, now I'm remembering that gif of the bed with the headboard where the guy is lying in bed, reaches up and a rifle or shotgun falls down and he grabs it.

You can hear the message change in 1999 after Columbine left the NRA scrambling. And it has it all: calling their supporters rubes and suckers, deflecting blame, trying to cover their asses to keep up profits. Everything we know and loathe about the modern NRA.

Every single one of these ghouls deserves to die alone and destitute, with a yearly celebration to piss on their graves.

EDIT for homophobic language. Apologies.

Well, Trump just called Putin a genius and fawned over his great strategy in bombing civilians, so I wholly expect freep to start rallying behind him as the bombs drop.

It's not just that they're a bunch of spiteful fucks, they're unimaginative sycophantic spiteful fucks.

I mean, yes, it was obviously metaphorical, not sure what that has to do with "ha ha Trump is so gay" being homophobic.

I could have worded that better and I realize that. I apologize and will edit the original post. The original idea was that Freep devotion to Trump is so deep that it would extend to cheerleading Putin as he bombs civilians. As I said, I hosed up.

The Freep Response has been predictable. Trump (and by extension Putin) can do no wrong, so everything else revolves around that idea. Even when you 'well, actually' the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia and start complimenting Hitler.

Let Gaetz and Greene and Santos keep eating at the established power bloc, fracturing their donor base and dividing their caucus so they can't get any meaningful resistance to actual progress going. It's about the best we can hope for with these chucklefucks.
