3. Surprisingly hung up on colleges not giving the Milos and Richard Spencers of the world a platform

they're intellectually insecure and upset that their ideology isn't respected or regarded as worthy of study. people love to dress up their reflexive hatred as some kind of movement by using jargon and the other trappings of intellectualism - people who aren't that bright do this all the time to convince each other how smart they are. sort of like spending too much on entry level luxury cars or tract mcmansions to convince people how wealthy you are

trump voters are mentally immature and lack empathy for people they otherize, this is what makes it very difficult for them to realize that they're being swindled

I seriously want to know how any of these individuals could believe they never used a govt. social program. What do Republicans consider to be a social program? Is it just anything those 'losers' other than them use?

that little citation at the bottom about the submerged state - that's what one professor calls the package of government subsidies that aren't visible to people or easily rationalized. like if you get food stamps, it's hard to say that isn't a government program. but the government permitting you to write off your mortgage interest payments as a deduction on your taxes, is that a government subsidy? (it totally is, but when people - especially wealthier people - say well that's a tax cut, not a subsidy like food stamps, then they're all i earned this the only moral welfare is my welfare etc.)

I'm afraid of living in this timeline and not having the ability to fight back. Unfortunately, and it really pains me to say this, relying exclusively defensive tactics is a losing fight.

(I'm not advocating for violence, at all. But if there is violence, I do not plan on showing up with a knife to the gunfight.)

in such a scenario it is not advisable to have a registered firearm, and your time would be better spent learning to make IEDs and other small explosives from which you can ambush gun havers and take their guns

The funny thing about all of this is it's revealing just how weak the US's position has been on the international stage for a long time.

i dunno if weak is the right word, really it's a disconnect between domestic us rhetoric about it being the bestest country ever and leader of the free world when really it's just first among equals and trump doesn't want to admit he's not the big chief boss man so he's trashing our relationships because reality doesn't match with his fantasy

the us purposely overspending on military stuff and subsidizing the national defense of our allies is a great way to wrap up two separate issues

-make friends by giving them free or reduced cost poo poo, like "we will protect you with our massive expensive navy"
-keep the MIC happy by providing a reason to spend buckets of money on expensive poo poo like navies

this hasn't been so important since the cold war ended but the us still way overspends for these reasons. trump is a huge moron so he's trying to send europe a bill all of a sudden. i wonder if this is part of his nouveau riche cheapassedness, like, if you're way wealthier than your friends why wouldn't you treat them well to nice dinners and vacations and the like? that's how you build up an entourage. but suddenly you turn into a greedy poo poo and send them a bill for the steak dinners and weekend getaways and they wont return your calls now gee i wonder why

Of course, to the Republican Party, the main base is the South/Appalachia, and the mountain and plains are mostly important in terms of the senate, not in Presidential or House politics.

its because the mountain and plain states are empty and have next to no electoral votes

idaho, montana, wyoming, and both dakotas have as many electoral votes as georgia, and georgia's population increase was slightly greater than all five of those states between 2010 and 2017. texas alone is more valuable to the republicans than the entire republican midwest

I've been slowly developing the opinion that if rich progressive benefactors like Soros and Buffett really want to start regaining control of the country, the thing to do is to start funding some nonprofits tasked with resettling low-income liberals out of expensive blue states and into urban enclaves in red states. Places like Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Birmingham, Tucson, Little Rock, and Charleston.

all of these places already vote democratic. there's no point to putting more liberals in liberal enclaves, you'd need them to move to rural areas to tip those districts which is even more wildly impractical than whatever nonsense you're pushing here

minecraft is just digital legos, it's simple to understand the rules but has enough depth to be interesting and is a decent sandbox for children to be creative and play since you can't troll kids too hard using it (knock over their sandcastle and say mean things via text but no voice chat or ability to follow and harass a player continually)

there are probably better clones of it out there that scratch the same itch, by objective standards minecraft is a bad game but being the originator of a subgenre it's insanely popular, doubly so among kids because it has a lot of attributes attractive to them

as someone said above though it is a hugely influential and popular game so it's worth playing a bit just from the perspective of game history

the biggest problem is so many of the systems are incomprehensible without referring to external documentation or watching squeaky voiced youtube tutorials. game systems should be simple enough to grasp intuitively, or if necessary explained through step by step tutorials. too many things in minecraft are opaque, from item recipes to how to build hell portals. if a game isn't a puzzle game but it expects you to engage in tedious trial by error just to 'unlock' more game mechanics then that is bad design

"The GOP presidential nominee has stated his preference for coal and natural gas, and has previously said that solar power is unreliable and wind turbines are unsightly and harmful to wildlife.

“It’s so expensive,” Trump said of alternative energy at a rally in Pennsylvania. “And honestly, it’s not working so good. I know a lot about solar. I love solar. But the payback is what, 18 years? Oh great, let me do it. Eighteen years,” he said, turning to wind power. “The wind kills all your birds. All your birds, killed. You know, the environmentalists never talk about that.”

times were different back then but warren harding's sex letters to his mistress will never not be hilarious

quote:

Jan. 2, 1913
I stopped play to have sandwiches and crack a bottle of wine, so I could dwell with my thoughts. You can guess where they centered — on the New Year’s beginning a year before, when the bell rang the chorus while our hearts sang the rapture without words and we greeted the New Year from the hallowed heights of heaven. . . . When I got home I was too tired to sleep, but I rested, and you were summoned in finally. And you came — a vision vividly plain, a goddess in human form — and a perfect form — clad only in flowing hair, and you were joyously received, and Jerry* came and insisted on staying while we all retrospected in the happiness of a Sunday in Richmond.

Jan. 5, 1913
Didn’t go to church today — it cost too much last Sunday — so I got up, had a luxurious bath and donned my bathrobe in which to breakfast. Three weeks ago [the robe] touched and covered your beautiful form, and that made it hallowed to me, and I wanted contact with it, to make me seem nearer to you. And I wanted to sit before the fire afterward, in freedom of dress, and dream** of you and of loving you, intimately, until [illegible]. I like to dream** in loose, flowing garb, because I can dream more intently. And I did — to alarming release. I called your name aloud thrice, begging you to come, and a voice from upstairs responded, wanting to know what I wanted. I was alarmed and sobered.

Sept. 15, 1913
Honestly, I hurt with the insatiate longing, until I feel that there will never be any relief untilI take a long, deep, wild draught on your lips and then bury my face on your pillowing breasts. Oh, Carrie! I want the solace you only can give. It is awful to hunger so and be so wholly denied. . . . Wouldn’t you like to hear me ask if we only dared and answer, “We dare,” while souls rejoicing sang the sweetest of choruses in the music room? Wouldn’t you like to get sopping wet out on Superior — not the lake — for the joy of fevered fondling and melting kisses? Wouldn’t you like to make the suspected occupant of the next room jealous of the joys he could not know, as we did in morning communion at Richmond? . . .

Oh, Carrie mine! You can see I have yielded and written myself into wild desire. I could beg. And Jerry* came and will not go, says he loves you, that you are the only, only love worthwhile in all this world, and I must tell you so and a score or more of other fond things he suggests, but I spare you. You must not be annoyed. He is so utterly devoted that he only exists to give you all. I fear you would find a fierce enthusiast today.
