It’s amazing just how garbage Jerry Falwell’s father was, and yet he’s still somehow better than his son.

At least Carey Falwell seemed mostly content to just destroy his own life.

yeah. like i can see fallwell where Fallwell senior ended up where he was. He had a hosed up childhood and he was a shithead so he joined the church to get control so he could be a "good" father. i did like that rob pointed out that these sacks of poo poo lie about themselves to make their origin stories better. with senior, at least he actually "believed" in his awful poo poo. junior is just weird bigoted rear end in a top hat who is also a hypocritical cuckold.

I think I was unclear in my 8chan episode and some folks have misinterpreted the status of my old account. I was never permabanned or anything. My old account is still active. But I had it when I was 12 or something and I'd prefer not to have it easily associated with my name.

The endless D&D nerdlinger component of Fascism is so funny (kinda).

I used to run a LARPing summer camp, it was basically improv theater and combat sports, and we had a really great run of about 10 years, 5 of which I was Executive Director. Starting around 2013-2014, a big chunk of our campers turned into HARDCORE milsim nerds and went deep into airsoft/paintball tacticool stuff, and at first I was turned off by the heavy emphasis on guns for kids, but figured it was mostly harmless... until they started showing up with increasingly more and more German equipment and costuming and eventually I had to have a big sit down with everyone in 2016 and explain “there is no ironic fascism. I didn’t train you all to be Nazis, and we have a lot of Jewish and POC campers who aren’t happy. It’s not that we don’t “get” the joke, it’s that it’s not a joke, it’s using comedy as a smokescreen to obfuscate hate speech.”

So when Robert basically wrote a book about that exact thing that’s when I knew “drat this dude knows what’s up” and I’m not REMOTELY surprised to discover he’s a WH40K Grog.

same. most weird mililitary/scifi/40k nerds i know are pretty lefty and can separate out problematic/ironic areas of fandom and media. i mean i love 40k and loving ubisoft tom clancy games and i am running full bernie lefty person and can see through the weird ghoul chuds who try to use it as a trojan horse.

i was making the point that the presence of SROs in schools is often justified by arguing that they will prevent mass shootings. the fact that there were armed officers in columbine who failed to prevent the violence is relevant because, in general, cops are pretty useless at stopping mass shootings

i've spent enough time arguing with terminally online leftists about intervention, from Milosevic stans who will tell me that srebrinica never happened to folks who insist that assad never deployed chemical weapons

it's cool if you don't think intervention is ever justified, i disagree with you in specific instances but it's a stance someone can make an evidence-based argument to support. when people straight-up deny acts of genocide and war crimes because they were committed to someone opposed to the U.S., i think those people are pieces of poo poo. i'm through arguing with them. if you think assad's chemical weapon attacks were faked or Ukraine shot down MH17 or whatever, you can suck my dick.

edit: also the "you can suck my dick" was not directed at anyone in this thread, necessarily, but was more aimed at the set on twitter who spend hours finding reasons to argue that shellshocked syrian children are really crisis actors or what-the-gently caress-ever

makes sense. i watched an amature but very good documentary about stoneman Douglass and they went a bit into how the deputy didnt do his job but its also clear that neither did the sheriffs department when they arrived either. i think there is like 2 occasions where cops have stopped a mass shooting in progress and they were both off duty and it was right as the shooter walked in or started shooting. but yeah, some cops standing around schools wont stop shootings.

also yeah same on the intervention stuff.

Q is way more of a platform for angry chuds like the tea party but with way way more weird lore so boomers can feel like they are MAGA Ezio Auditore fighting against the evil jewish pedo marxists because they need to believe trump isnt a big dumb gently caress up.
