Rowe's been an outspoken turbo-chud since, like, before Dirty Jobs even ended. It sucks, because he seemed earnest in the early years of the show, but then he outed himself as an utter dipshit pretty soon after. Looking back, it almost seems like an Undercover Boss kind of empty-headed puff piece where he pretends to exort the hard-working everyman, only to go back to relaxing in his office made of stacks of money while continuing to gently caress over the people who actually do the work.

And that's why "blue collar" and "white collar" are useless terms that only serve to reinforce the idea that anybody working a "blue collar" job should be poor, and also drives conflict between poorly-paid white collar workers and well-paid blue collar workers, so they're busy fighting each other instead of uniting against the ruling class. Which, y'know, is the intention. But it's bad.

I mean, Ok Comboomer is right--that is an extremely lib move. In the sense that libs are slightly-less-conservative elitist capitalists, not leftists.

The current political era is a continuation of policies laid out in the Reagan-Thatcher era. That much is indisputable. But saying it's more of the same is, at best, understating the sharp rise in intensity that we've seen since Trump's political ascension in 2015/2016. At worst, it's missing the point that the mask hasn't slipped further--they've willingly taken it off now.

Chud adjacent for the money is as bad.

No, not as bad, but still plenty bad enough on its own. Not going to bat for the Nic guy (I don't know who he is), but let's not effectively downplay how bad chuds are by saying everybody who doesn't disavow them are equally as bad as the chuds themselves. Both still suck rear end, the chud just sucks more rear end.

It felt more like yours was a defence of allowing people you supposedly know/work with to be complete arseholes to others and shrugging it off rather than what you're saying here tbh. :shrug:

If you read my post and took that message from it, that says more about your reading comprehension than it does about my post.

The point is, saying "people who are willing to work with Nazis are as bad as the actual Nazis" doesn't in effect drat everyone to the same extreme level of Nazis like people think it does. It makes the Nazis seem only as bad as the collaborators. It flattens out the levels of badness, and the homogeneity makes them all seem comparatively less bad. It's wrong to say "they're all the same level of bad" because it undersells just how extremely loving bad actual Nazis are.

I am absolutely in no way defending an obvious Nazi-wannabe or his numerous obvious Nazi-wannabe tattoos, but I really don't see how the angry zombie is supposed to be Hitler. Again, dude is already plenty of a Nazi-wannabe without the zombie being Hitler.

It's not surprising that modern militaries attract nazis, but it's distressing when modern militaries don't want to get rid of their nazis or, worse, actively recruit for nazis and protect them.

To its credit, the US military is actually doing at least a little to try to get rid of its nazis. But republican politicians are doing their best to gently caress up the military's ability to function in order to try to pressure the military to stop trying to flush nazis. Real cool country we live in :thumbsup:

Japanese were considered honorary Aryans, and that Japanese vehicle is "valuable" for helping the dipshit nazi-wannabe get around, so I'd say it tracks.

gently caress tankies. I aint associating with tankies.

Also, overtly political poo poo on your car is just asking for trouble. Especially if it's in opposition to chuds.

like i said, internet poisoned, safely ignored

Ok Comboomer posted:

shut up, tankie, didn’t you know that there are dictators abroad?

that’s why America should keep on empire building with impunity like it’s 1950 and don’t you dare have a problem with that

anyone opposed to authoritarian soviets is clearly in favor of western empire, hmm yes youve got it all figured out, champ

You didn't even have to say anything--one look at that old piece of poo poo's face in that thumbnail and I instantly knew he'd be anti-union.
