I watched the entire RNC, all of it, except for Patricia Smith's speech, because I straight up couldn't stand watching her cry. Every other ridiculous piece of poo poo speaker they had, even Trump's 70 minute Hitler impersonation, I got through, but I had to turn it off for her, because these loving shitstains have fed her every stupid loving lie about Benghazi for four years and encouraged her to believe that not only was her son murdered in the line of duty, a nightmare for any parent, but that her own government did it on purpose for Reasons. Then they trot her out onto the stage to cry for them whenever it's convenient. Like Trump gives a single poo poo about her or her dead son, any more than any of these assholes do. She's a prop to them to hurt Hillary Clinton and literally nothing else.

Seriously, gently caress all of those people.

There's also a bit of difference between "It seems like the only way these assholes will stop voting to gently caress over the planet and future generations is to die of old age/medical conditions," and Freep's "Everyone who has the slightest disagreement with us should be put in a concentration camp and/or painfully executed." I don't think (or at least I hope) nobody in this thread is suggesting, even jokingly, to actively go out and hurt or kill Freepers.

I mean yeah, I get it. Saying "I want our political opponents to die" is really bad, but I agree with Mustached Demon, most of us are venting our frustrations with these evil, hateful people. And I don't think anybody here actually wants SS/Medicare to be destroyed, even if it would be a sort of comeuppance for how they voted.

Yeah, I know it's a joke, but that doesn't mean I don't feel the pit in my stomach get worse when I see people joking about it, since, well, I've got a whole list of people who would likely die from losing SS/Medicare, and I'm one of them. It makes some of us a little twitchy considering that's a very real possibility now.

Wonder what they think of DS9. Probably wanted the Dominion to win since they're actual Nazis.

\/ lead role in DS9 was a black man who spoke up about racial inequality a whole lot.

I seem to remember a few Freeper quotes regarding Sisko. Shock of all shocks, they hated him and hated DS9. DS9 is my favorite, so I rather enjoy Freep's hate in this instance.

Also, it's just absolutely precious that these self described Trekkies somehow missed every single unsubtle message Star Trek ever dropped. Every single one. People complaining about PC in Trek are almost as funny as the ones whining about multiculturalism in Star Wars (because there are a lot of aliens, you see. Also occasionally a black guy.)

Edit: The Dominion was largely represented by a fairly androgynous female though, and I don't think she ever actually raised her voice at anyone. She also never hit anyone or fired a weapon.

They'd be huge fans of Section 31, but I think the real DS9 figure Freepers would latch to is Gul Dukat. He's basically the guy Trump wants people to think he is, and he even talks about making Cardassia great again while making a really bad decision with a hostile foreign power.

Really, someone has an issue with "butthurt", but not the other metric shitton of hate and racism?


Maybe so, but god certainly seemed to have a boner for inbreeding given the whole Adam and Eve beginning, and the noah's ark thing, and I think it was lot with his daughters....yeah, god didn't seem to have too many issues with it.

Of course this cousin taboo thing is fairly recent. Up till the late 1800's it was rare you ever ventured too far from your home. The infrastructure and transportation just wasn't there for travelling a distance. Not to mention those pesky diseases that came along every now and then to limit the selections available


This of course relies on a ton of factors, namely what the standard of living was. You can go back to "purebred" America of 1900 when the standard of living was a shack or a straw bed at the shop your family worked in being ok


Ah yes, all those accusers of Trump were just people trying to hate on him, whereas all the ones Slick Willie has are 100% legit. Also he raped women, true fact.

I swear to god, alzheimers and dimensia are some horrible diseases

Funny you should mention. My father has a form of dementia that mimics Alzheimer's in a lot of ways. He forgets words and names, although he can usually remember what they stand for, which is making communication increasingly difficult, and means we have to work with him daily to try to keep him at a certain level for as long as possible. He's pretty homebound and spends most of his day in bed, which means he's on the internet a lot, watches Youtube a lot (though often videos without dialogue or text in them, he likes the walking tours). He actually looked in as much as he could on the candidates this past year. He didn't really remember Hillary and had no idea who Bernie was, but Trump? He remembers Trump. He just never remembers Trump's name.

Therefore, he dubbed Trump 'The Baby Man' whenever he wanted to refer to him, and still can't understand why anyone would vote for someone like that. So what's even funnier is an actual dementia sufferer can spot Trump is a conman shithead when Freepers can't.

I just can't imagine how exhausting it must be to think literally everyone is on the side of evil and against you. I know it's probably more mental illness than anything else, even the ones who realized they got caught up in a cult of personality are more "Trump can holler all he wants but the election was stolen and he can't do anything about it" rather than "Guess we need to accept we lost."

It's really not, and I wish the internet (not just here, I see it all over, especially lately), would stop using "mental illness" as shorthand for "bigoted, racist assholes who delight in their own ignorance". Being a terrible person, or believing extremely stupid poo poo, are not symptoms of being mentally ill.

If there is a pathological behavior in the medical sense, it is not in their views, however reprehensible, but in how they express them, like a somewhat older right wing version of poster brain as we see here at times.

This, more or less. Side-stepping the whole internet diagnosis thing, saying someone is mentally ill in this way also isn't done out of any genuine concern, it's a means of dismissing folks who behave this way or believe these things by essentially saying "oh, they're just crazy", and it's almost always meant to be insulting. It ties their behaviors and their beliefs to being mentally ill, and even if they have an actual diagnosed condition, that's still lumping them together with hundreds of different disorders. All anyone tends to hear when someone says 'this stupid racist says stupid racist things in an unbelievably dumb way, they're mentally ill' is 'mentally ill = stupid racists'. I know this comes off as harping, but it does incredible damage to people who are actually mentally ill, from contributing to them refusing to get treatment, to being victimized, to being outright murdered.

It's the same problem with how everyone gets Very Concerned about mental illness whenever a mass shooting happens, when it's actually a rare thing for a mass shooter to have been diagnosed with a mental illness (and you can't just go 'well, they're obviously crazy', that's not how this works), but it associates being mentally ill with being violent and dangerous, which is already a massive stigma, and then it all gets forgotten about until the next mass murderer turns up.

Not a Minecraft player, but speaking from experience otherwise, making traditional art is expensive, and often requires space that just isn't available, especially sculpture, unless it's just a random pencil and cheap sketchbook from Walmart. Digital art is often more expensive than any of that too, with it more or less requiring some form of drawing tablet, and the programs to create it in.

tl;dr Minecraft is cheap. And, also, art in Minecraft doesn't necessarily translate to other kinds of art either; knowing how to paint like Bob Ross doesn't mean you can go chisel marble.

Some antisemites still think Israel is an evil country, but support it anyway because they kill other minorities that they hate, and also it's a matter of "Well we should send them all over there so they can get out of our country!" It's kind of like how I've heard there's actually occasionally some weird crossover between white and black supremacists because they both say "We want completely segregated countries."


People have already said a lot of the reasons and they're also true, but on top of that the idea of "Biblical literalism" is also partially to blame. I knew a guy on a forum over a decade ago that was a strong evangelical, and he would talk about how Revelation is a book of prophecy, and humans can't possibly drive themselves to extinction because humans have to exist for Revelation to be true. So he thought it was absurd that people thought there was any kind of danger in anything that was done to the environment, because it's impossible for us to ruin the planet. He even dismissed it by saying something like "Oh so you think God, in his omniscience, forgot to go 'Whoops, I didn't make it so they can't destroy the planet and might accidentally wipe themselves out!' Obviously the planet cannot be rendered uninhabitable."

Rush Limbaugh has a sort of similar approach, he doesn't say "Climate change is impossible because God," but in all his rants on climate change he will say that it is impossible for humans to change the climate of the planet.


He also praised Mo Brooks a while back for "totally destroying" the idea that humans are responsible for warming.


And to a lot of people the idea that the planet can't be affected on a global scale by humans sounds persuasive. Hey, the planet is a big, huge place. It's been around a long time. How could humans possibly affect something so old and enormous? It's also kind of a way of absolving themselves of any responsibility. How could something I do be harming the planet? I'm only one person!

These are the people you can tell never actually read Revelations, seeing as it has a fair amount of the planet itself going to absolute poo poo, and it's not even all that figurative about it. Stuff like everything in the ocean dying, for instance. But they're also the people who think "stewardship over the earth" means they can gently caress everything up without consequence because they're like spoiled children convinced daddy God will clean up after them.
