I believe in peaceful protest. I also believe in protecting yourself and fighting existential threats. I learned more about antifa from comments last night than I had known at all before two days ago, and while their tactics aren't necessarily my tactics, I also am not going to wring my hands about them because

I'm neither riled up or angry. I'm baffled that someone whose every post drips with condescension based on his belief that being the guy who says, "Everyone does bad stuff and so the only option is to be as middle of the road as they come" is somehow rallying his mediocre troops. So far I haven't found any

I've also been told to fuck off because I'm not black when I "attempt to talk politics," and you know what? I fuck off. Because I'm not black. I don't let my fragility make me huffy about it, no matter how well-intentioned or wise I might consider myself. Because, in the end, they're in charge of how they fight their

"Look, I don't know if he's REALLY a child molester, but I'm seeing lots of people on message boards say he is, so it's worth considering."

My point is that I don't trust friend-of-a-friend stories when they're told to me by people I know, so I don't know why some anonymous person on the Internet thinks they are valid support for his arguments, anymore than his shtick on every other post about how cosmopolitan and enlightened he is are — and yet these

Seriously, who the hell IS this guy? I didn't sign up for his mediocre poli-sci lectures and I don't know why I'm being subjected to them on an article about literal Nazi terrorism and our president's response. If these assholes want to call me antifa, I'm antifa, then. Already embraced SJW. And that doesn't bother me

Thank you. I am as pacifist as they come. I was one of the few among my friends who did not delight in the "punch a Nazi" meme after that s—t Spencer got knocked in the face. I identify as Jewish but attend Friends meetings after years of being educated by Quakers.

"I personally like Bernie." Good lord, I'd hate to see how you speak of people you hate.

I also fail to see how "some friends of mine said racist s—t" is either indicative of an entire political group, or frankly even something I'm supposed to believe because some anonymous person said so. I know lots of Bernie voters and Hillary voters, both, and I'd say it runs 50-50 on Kamala support from both groups.

AKA, his base. I don't think he's any more confused about this than you are. Let's stop pretending the man is an idiot and call him what he is.

I said this earlier: "The Flying Dutchman was a ghost ship that couldn't ever make port, sailing the oceans forever. Sounds very much like what was happening to Jeffries in general in FWWM. Is it possible he's in the electricity? Or even, perhaps, in what we were calling the White Lodge? We got some clue, at least,

I'd say Episode 8 certainly gives credence to the idea the Lynch is onboard with the idea.

Not really. Lynch and Frost have always said that's a typo.

I was going to point out that, normally, a shrink would not go out of his way to interact with a patient out of the office and that the potato thing wasn't weird, and then I remembered we're talking about the man who keeps stuff in a hollow coconut.

I did. I really wish I weren't so compulsive because the surprises in this one were ones that I could have been genuinely surprised by. I don't recommend anyone go digging like I did. :(

With all these catchphrases, I thought I was watching an episode of "Battle of the Network Stars."

Or a Lahsbee.

Looks more like a Yuzzum to me.

They're not able to feel things? That's a horrifying concept.
