I’d actually prefer ‘violent fascism that subjugates conservatives and relegates them to third-class citizen status’ but I guess I’d compromise for non-violent fascism instead.

I mean, I think we should be actively threatening their lives, so you’re really losing me with this ‘let’s water down our message to make it palatable to the opposition’ nonsense.

Yes, but they advocate revolutionary action that may include violence, which wouldn’t fly with a large proportion of modern leftists, who seem to reject any solution that involves violence reflexively.

Ah, but now Billy Corgan is a MAGA-thumping dipshit that poops all over D’Arcy Wretzky and Trent Reznor is still a good human being, which means Nine Inch Nails won the long game...

Yup!  That sounds like season 6, which genuinely is the best season of the show thus far!

I’m very well aware.

I’d say same for me, with an asterisk*

I don’t think that’s the case for everyone. FOr example, in a lot of rural agricultural communities, people might have to take a job working at a farm or a butcher’s shop where killing or carving livestock is a necessity... and sure enough, there are studies that suggest that cutting meat or using the bolt-gun on the…

I would say yours is not phony, just highly self-conscious/self-aware.

Chicken or the egg? I think that engaging in violent acts on a near-daily basis as part of one’s job function will increase one’s instinct to use violence in response to certain stimuli.

And gamers are just sitting over here bitching about the rendering of shadows on a certain patch of a certain video game while corporations pay tiny marginal and effective tax rates and fuck you economically in your every day life.

I would argue the whiney people do in fact exist... and now you’re whining about someone else whining about whiners.  We’re all the way through the looking glass here Andrei, and it seems like you might be King of the Whiners.

Stop telling people to starve the trolls.  It doesn’t work and it encourages the trolls.

No, I never have.  And I’ve seen a lot of people in handcuffs.

What part of Chara’s hit on your first link was illegal? I think that was exactly the right hockey play to make in that situation for him. I think the fault for Pacioretty’s injury lies with the layout of the stanchion.

Aye, I co-sign all of this. I go out of my way to mirror this language back at assholes like Keisel precisely BECAUSE they understand what they’re doing, and by using that language they’re projecting the fact that it works against them too.

They are.  You and I should be prepping to kill them in the streets of the USA during the impending civil war.

I actually think that losing her career, by itself, is an inadequate consequence. I think meaningful jail time is necessary here, to be honest. She shouldn’t just lose her career (which is a problem for every convicted felon in the USA), but she should sit in prison for 2-3 years as well for all the fraud.

I guess that I’m sorry that I didn’t reward your hero complex with enough praise to keep you from glibly being a dick in return.
