He did, actually. “Yeah, all Christians are like that. All religions, really. Religion is like a disease that makes people evil.”

I’m not defending him. I’m saying that the distinctions between the varying things that he did that are offensive politically and as a matter of human dignity are important.

Hold on — it’s a valid distinction. I was misinformed on this issue because journalists played fast and loose with describing the nature of his legal troubles and what actually stuck. For those of us for whom facts matter, getting the specifics right MATTERS.

Oh shut up, will you please? I know heaps of super decent Catholic and Protestant believers. “All” [blanks] are [blank] is just such a facile and lazy sentiment. Barack Obama is a Christian, and I think he’s a great guy who doesn’t afraid of anything.

I’m planning to kickstart a game called, Close Your Hand in a Car Door Simulator. It’s going to be painful, linear, uninspired and look like it was made in MSpaint. Everyone is going to give it more credit than it deserves or what a work of film or literature with such half-assed delivery or absent dramatic purpose…

This is all the worst.

There absolutely are — but you see, I had you fooled! *I* was being sarcastic. I don’t think that you are at all objective!

Very objective of you. You’re a consummate journalist, to be sure.

This article is sexist bullshit.

If you don’t condone violence, don’t condone violence. (or else you’re condoning violence)

This review is one long signal to cringe. I cringe for Chloe, for gaming, and for pop culture in 2017.

YOU WANT FAHEY’S KIDS TO STARVE?

Jefferson Davis wasn’t a general — and this goes to the very heart of the problem. People don’t even know what it is that they’re trying to destroy.

Demanding!? How terrible. Who would EVER be demanding?

You’re on the spectrum, aren’t you? I’m sorry I’ve been so rough on you my delicate porcelain vase. Autism is really the only explanation I can come up with why you’d make such a stupid reference to near eastern textiles, and then pretend to not understand how protectionist trade practices work, and why fiscal policy…

Oh my God — I used Canada as an analogy for friendly and culturally similar but politically distinct polity. The CSA, the USA and the Dominion of Canada WOULD have interrelated similarly. The call to provide troops to invade South Carolina was too big an ask.

Hey — it’d be great/simpler if that was accurate, but it isn’t.

Even that’s probably an exaggeration. When they were offered a chance to preserve slavery indefinitely, they didn’t take it — and Virginia didn’t secede to join the deep south until it was ordered to raise troops to put down the states having already seceded. And that was a lot like being asked to invade Canada by…

The war was fought over secession. It was a really important distinction at the time.

The war wouldn’t have been fought if there’d been no invasion. The war was about secession. Secession happened because of slavery — for the first states. After war became inevitable, the rest had to secede as well.
