Fitzy Fitz posted:As much as we complain about echo chambers and the increasing partisan divide in the country, what the gently caress are we supposed to do about it? That woman in Walmart is the norm. Every time I make the mistake of glancing at the comment section of a news article that involves race, I see a bunch of people like her. These people are loving gross, and it's seriously depressing to interact with them. mock them. there's no arguing with them, just tell them why they are wrong in a calm voice like you are correcting a child and then maybe throw in a clever, polite insult if you want. no name calling, just demonstrate your literacy

It's totally worth it to put the screws to those fat-cat unionized teachers. to be fair, the end goal of this is not to break up teachers unions the end goal of this is to reintroduce religious education and indoctrination into american schools devos is a christian dominionist

Also, states where people are parochial and backwards. If I am talking to someone from either state, I have to remember not to bite my tongue when they talk about mountains, and not to smirk condescendingly when they talk in conspirational whispers about buying marijuana. new york has the appalachians and the adirondacks. the highest point in new york state is a little over a mile above sea level evilweasel posted:i wonder if glowing fish isn't really clear on how oceans work and thinks that can stop the mighty ocean is a Real Mountain so every so often the entire atlantic floods all the way to, uh, colorado he keeps posting his lovely medium article about rural america which is based on FDA definitions of ruralness and not the us census bureau so no, he's not very well educated

Family Values posted:I'm going to agree with the general point that the eastern third of the country is extremely different both in terms of population density and attitudes to the western half of the country. Whether you call the eastern third of the country the "east coast" or not is pretty irrelevant. You've all seen the population density map so I don't see why this is such a radical concept except that you want to argue pedantry about 'coast' and 'mountain'. it's pretty funny to poke at the goon who struggles with american geography and who claims the appalachian mountains aren't mountains. goons doubling down on their own stupidity is what makes this forum keep lurching forwards

Can I have access to the system that tells you that? most goons who still post are reregs, there are less legit new accounts than there are goons who haven't stopped posting here yet. i first signed up back in 2002 when i was a teen, i'm in my thirties now. teens generally don't even know how to find something awful unlike back in the early days when most teens didn't use the internet and the only ones who wanted to post on comedy forums were generally gamer nerds (still why the games forum is the biggest subforum on sa) like no, there's no survey of goon ages, but given the forum's userbase stagnation it's likely that most goons still posting here are old timers and not relatively young recent newregs (tho there are a substantial contingent of those)

Freedom of speech needs to be fought for, ferociously. also we don't need to consider the equivalencies between someone ranting about obama being a communist kenyan n****r out to destroy america, and someone commenting on trump's infantile mindset and his likely personality disorders which lay at the heart of his dysfunctional administration. both of these are negative statements towards the presidency but it turns out one of these statements has much more merit than the other!!!

Unzip and Attack posted:Giving the GOP even the smallest amount of ammo to build a false comparison narrative is what hurts the Dems. Clinton being a super-wealthy person with ties to Wall St and a history of questionable ethical decision-making allowed the narrative of "both are bad" to flower, abetted by the horserace-hungry media. the GOP can conjure ammo out of thin air, because it turns out a substantial portion of their base are extremely angry, ignorant, and gullible. there's no reason to walk around on eggshells trying not to offend the crazies when they believe in defunding planned parenthood to shut down the black market trade in infant livers there are vast, untapped mines of hillary clinton murders waiting for the GOP to dig up more ammo for false narratives about how liberals are the real racists. decorum doesn't really matter in an environment where many of the participants can't understand simple statements or sort fact from fiction
