it’s true tho. I can’t stand animal rights activists and poo poo hoovering up money and attention while children live in the streets in the richest country in the history of the world. straight up mike Vick gets real prison time for letting dogs fight in a house he owned (not even fighting them himself!) while pieces of poo poo like Ben roethlisberger get to keep their jobs and reputation after raping and abusing real human women

i agree wtt, whenever i pass someone with a dog they always try to calm the dog down as I pass and it weirds me out. like dude/lady calm yourself down I've seen a dog before & pretty sure they don't understand english

the problem is that the guy who said it doesn't care about human beings, either

also that it's asinine to believe humanizing or revering animals is some kind of post-9/11 millennial derangement and not a thing people have been doing for as long as we have a historical record; it's probably much more of a human cultural constant than all the gender/family/etc stuff idiots like him are obsessed with, and on the whole I'm happier with it than other popular long-running human bits like war and slavery

I would imagine "volcels" hate women and the rest of the world significantly less, or at least less overtly.

honestly if we exclude socialist jokemen, monks, and people who are actually asexual, I think all you're left with is rationalizing incels, right?

sunscreen being a hoax is a new one to me

sunscreen above a certain spf (somewhere in the 50-100 range) is a marketing gimmick and doesn't actually protect you from the sun any better, but that's a pretty far cry from "sunscreen doesn't work" I guess

I'm becoming convinced we gotta stop accepting Protestants converts, their brains are just too poisoned

It's prolly a thing where they're like "I'm very into the part of Protestantism that's about loving Jesus and harshly judging people, but I'm in the market for something more hierarchical, authoritarian, and aesthetically pleasing"

Like now I wonder if Protestant -> Catholic conversion is just straight up a red flag for fascist thought

weren’t samurai like the knights where all that honor and codes poo poo was just pr and they abused the poo poo out of anyone lower than themselves?

yeah, basically; they were people, just like anybody else, mostly raised with the assumption that they were born better than poor people

some of them were about as good of dudes as you can expect to come out of a feudal society (so grading on a curve), and others were loving rear end in a top hat bullies, psychos, and murderers

This was slightly higher but comparable to the 12 percent of Sanders voters who voted for Trump.

https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/545812242/1-in-10-sanders-primary-voters-ended-up-supporting-trump-survey-finds

err this NPR piece actually reiterates the claim that 25% of clinton primary voters went for mccain in the 2008 election, which is an outstanding number, because it also states that about 12% of trump voters in the republican primary ultimately voted for clinton (in other words that 12% of sanders voters going for trump is pretty bog-standard and probably represents everything from a given percentage of dumbass fence-sitters to people voting in the other party's primary strategically)

should we use that NPR article as a source or not, because it directly contradicts your primary argument (that there wasn't an exceptional amount of clinton > mccain drift)

No, Serena Joy was basically Phyllis Schlafley in being a leading anti-feminist who then gets discarded by the new fascist government along with every other woman.

In the book at least, I have no idea where they might have gone in the TV show.

the show's p much the same; liberals are depicted as being largely unequipped to prepare for or resist what happens, but evangelical conservatives and the far-right are unambiguously responsible

lol what industry doesn't welcome to capitalism

these anti-porn nuts just hate women and can't gently caress

you don't see any difference between white collar labor and sex workers?

like I've literally done that poo poo, it's less physically-demanding than blue collar work and better money than bottom-tier retail/restaurant/call center wage slavery, but at the end of the day it absolutely has unique mental and emotional health considerations and costs to your relationships with partners etc; it wouldn't look the same or be as ubiquitous in a better society and the current capitalist iteration of it is pretty vile

that doesn't mean it should be outlawed and outlawing it wouldn't help most of the people who do it, but it's also pretty annoying that every liberal and even a lot of otherwise conscientious leftists' response to it is basically "commodifying sex is freaking epic" without regard for any of the things I just said

the probably way chuddier national guard

I really wouldn't be too sure about that; I occasionally see people in cspam suggest that the military is further right than the cops, but in the broadest form of both those things in the us that absolutely isn't true, 60% of troops/vets voted for trump while 90% of cops did

comparing all american troops to all american cops, the cops are whiter, significantly more affluent, and slightly more likely to be male than the military, all of which contributes to this

obviously individual departments differ wildly especially wrt race and it can be hard to find good statistics on the reserves/guard specifically - it's not even clear when they are and aren't being included in some data - but I would always be willing to question whether troops are chuddier

yes, but I don't think it makes them particularly different from anyone else; most people are boring and most people lean into something "trivial" or whatever to construct a sense of identity, whether it's fandom or obsessively following a sports team or making bad music nobody listens to or w/e
