If we get that 55 gallon drum of lube on overnight shipping, I'm willing to prove all of my opponents are homos!

What you can't see is that he's also standing in front of a giant red hat, in a very confused homage to Springsteen

I have not now, nor ever, upvoted my own post, good sir! And I will not take such character assassination lightly! (But seriously, it was another commenter with the similar, but distinct, name "Wo")

"I've never heard of this and don't care about it! I'm simply making dozens of comments on this article to show you how little I care about it!"

Well, you see friend, we here understand little things like "context" and "coded language" and "the extremely obvious point you're making despite technically not literally spelling it out."

We call it the "Aliens vs. Predator" phenomenon

Alternately, being so beholden to the two-party system that you elide over a human rights atrocity with "blah blah" and act as if it's the ultimate sign of immaturity to be concerned about a human rights atrocity is maybe a bit telling. Like, people used to at least pretend to feel bad about all the horrible shit our…

Alternately, had the fellas in that truck not been exposed to the concept of blowing up a small portion of your country to demonstrate your love for it, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place…

Damnit, come on Woz. There's definitely a joke there. Tim Tebow is terrible at football and terrible at politics. That's low-hanging fruit. So…uh…uh…

"This show is a marijuana minstrel show!"

So…as long as your vote is meaningless you can vote for the person you want? Man, it really is difficult to figure why so many people are disillusioned with politics!

But Vedder's the frustrated, agitated, designated alienated spokesman for the disaffected grunge generation!

I tend to forget the difference between Cornell and Eddie Vedder, so I was all pumped to make a bunch of Weird Al jokes. But then I remembered they're technically two different people and those jokes are for naught.

Have you paid any attention at all? The majority of people being violent at Trump rallies are white, but their victims have overwhelmingly been people of color. Also, thanks for devolving to the "there are other issues!!1!1!1!!" argument, as if talking about the tactics of opposing Trump means I'm incapable of also…

Yes, you think that. My entire point was that what comfy white people think at the time it's happening has always been a very poor measure of whether something is an effective tactic or not. Go ahead and read what people were saying about those movements at the time, it was virtually exactly what you and others are…

But people said the exact same thing about the Freedom Riders. Seriously — the Washington Post had an excellent series of articles on it recently. If you looked at surveys taken at the time, a large majority of white people said the Freedom Rides and lunch counter sit-ins were doing far more damage to the cause of…

Eh…this line of logic is questionable at best. There's been a lot of ink spilled about how Trump represents a real possibility of the rise of fascism in America. I'm not necessarily condoning violence, but at what point do we say that the correct response to a bunch of vile racists is no longer to sit there and…

"I asked Ian MacKaye for his autograph after the show, and instead he gave me a lecture about how it was just a name on a piece of paper."

If Hatesong has taught us nothing else (and it hasn't!) it's that you really shouldn't let your high school bullies determine what you do and do not like as an adult. Let it go, friend, let it go.

Yeah, it's a weird phenomenon, and hard to understand what's driving it. I remember reading a poll of Florida voters who voted Nader in 2000 asking who they would have chosen if they hadn't voted for him. Something like 15% said they would have voted Bush instead, which still confuses me to this day.
