Its partly the media, but mainly its the way city dwellers have always viewed the rural populations, with a seasoning of identity politics to make it extra spicy.

1. All whites are racist.
2. All poors are double racist, uneducated and abject failures because they had all that white privilege and did nothing with it.
3. All rural people are triple racist, backwards, and probably inbred to boot.

Therefore gently caress poor rural whites, they will only be satisfied by the literal subjugation and re-enslavement of blacks, and would never have any other hopes, dreams or desires we could appeal too

I don't know if more youth employment in dem campaigns would mean more or less "YAASSSS QUEEEN" crap. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad slogan if we were applying it to people who are not 70 and super super white.

I think it comes from drag culture. Along with "slay" and "read" and pretty much all the great words.

if you are talking about Our Long National Nightmare 2016-?: Zack rips the DNC a new rear end in a top hat thread

it's ironic nihilism, don't read too much into it, its part of a subculture of posters who have been posting in here for a year

In fact you might want to decompress for a while, go walk. Play a game, treat yourself to something (yesterday I went and got a strawberry banana milkshake and I don't do that), go read a book. Go outside. Turn off the TV, turn off this forum.

If it's not that thread, then you need to tell me what thread it is to make sure that there isn't plotting for violence, thank you.

Ok, thank you.

I'm sorry you got it mixed up, don't worry. I promise you, most of it comes from mocking people doomsaying the entire election so it has picked up on its own. It's not serious and half the time people were drunk doing this (still are)

That sounds like an excellent idea, I hope you have fun Do check back when this subforum gets formalized, it will be a lot more calmer if you want to participate in the discussions. There will probably be more generalized topics that isn't about elections.

Regarding the media: about ten years ago I started to feel like the Daily Show/various liberal satire shows were doing more harm than good.

A lot of things that people should be angry about got cast for laughs - clips of politicians contradicting themselves should be pissing people off, but then the immediate cut away to Stewart mugging for the camera undercut that emotion immediately.

Without touching on how those shows have treated a lot of the country, that single phenomenon has done a lot of harm, and there are entire content farms filling people's social media feeds with this stuff now. As much as we talk about (and I have personally relished in laughing about) the RWM echo chamber, the liberal media has in many ways been worse - it's made people think a laugh and a share is doing something.

pretty much this, once the dust settles it will get better

just don't start plotting assassinations or anything grievously egregious in here, thats all

its fine to be angry, i get it. I went off early in discord but yea don't start threatening people and calling for blood unironically. I'm not fond of probating if this happens unless you're a total dickbag, don't make me do it

Powercrazy, watch the racism chat if you're going to be inflammatory about it, thanks in advance.

We should call for political capital instead, starting obviously with progressive control of the dnc as the left wanted when DWS kept shooting them down

By the way if you guys are feeling really stressed out and need some decompression, C-SPAM Nite Crew has been playing music and movies for the past two weeks at night, so if you want to find out more about that, check the National Nightmare thread, I'll be posting some information about it pretty shortly. I really recommend it if you need to take the edge off, we're gonna be playing good movies. I don't want to derail too much here while there's some discussion.

Keep it chill, namaste,

Of course it went to poo poo afterwards, we loving overthrew the government in favor of warlords and jihadists!!! You can't topple the government of a country and then say "it was clean, except for the aftermath." OF COURSE the aftermath was messy!!! You blew up the drat government!

By this measure, the Iraq war was great too because Saddam Hussein fell quickly. "That it went to poo poo afterwards is another issue."

Gaddafi didn't even "wipe out villages" or whatever the gently caress you're saying. gently caress you

i saw ads in the loving NYC market for hillary.

I've seen it a lot from certain posters but for gods sake if you live on the coasts stop looking down your noses on those of us that live in the Midwest. Yeah sure living in California would be great but the cost of living difference makes moving there prohibitive and I don't really want to be that far from my family even if they infuriate me from time to time

I grew up very working class in the South and it's like in the past two decades everyone has just forgotten how to cook or take their lunch.

At the same time meat and threes are drying up in favor of crap fast food.

It's not even that people are picking unhealthy food, it's that even the comfort foods they're picking are more expensive and taste worst and also ignore Actual Southern Heritage.

i'm registering as an independent. i've been a democrat (proudly) for almost twenty years but i just can't loving do this anymore.

Fulchrum posted:

The right wing is attempting to fracture the Democrats at a time of weakness and disorder, cause they know a unified left wing would deliver a brutal rear end kicking in 2018. Spreading that poo poo, and even worse, implying that this is secretly an argument made by Democratic leaders, only aids that.
