Denying Nazis an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of the labor of those they oppress isn’t Nazism.

Your centrism is boring.

So you’d rather just allow damaging people not to suffer the consequences of their Nazi actions? What a saint!

We live in a country where you can refuse service to anyone, unless it’s on class, race, or gender basis. If I’m wearing an Obama t-shirt and some shit-for-brains Republican doesn’t want me eating at their restaurant, I didn’t want to give them my money anyway.

I’m sorry, are you under the impression that a political party affiliation makes one part of a protected class?

She wasn’t harassed. She was asked politely to leave.

And YES, it does matter, because I guarantee you that restaurant employs at least one immigrant. Standing up for workers is necessary. Consistently supporting those who are targeted by this administration is imperative. Nazis don’t get sympathy.

Children are being locked in cages, take your mealy-mouthed bullshit somewhere else.

Oh right, I forgot that abuse is standardized and everyone who is abused has the same experiences across the board/you can tell just by reading an article if someone is being abused or not. MY MISTAKE.

Lucky for her and probably a bunch of other women, you’re not the authority on this.

No one who knows him has come to his defense, other than his wife. That should tell you something.

Get better taste.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.

A white, 61-year old, male former alcoholic is the EXACT demographic that commits suicide most often. Don’t be this person.

Yeah this is super fucking frustrating. In the grand scheme of things like a national budget $17k isn’t that much but DAMN it could certainly have been used for something better!

Ugh yeah you’re right.

But STILL.

I went on an 11-day trip to Morocco, tacked on two days in Paris on the front end and 4 days in Prague on the back end, and paid less than $5,000, INCLUDING the several rugs, ceramic pieces, and handmade lamps I bought. HOW IN THE WORLD did he spend 3 times that in 4 days?!?

Poor people aren’t people, silly.

I have contended rather heatedly that Dominique was the much better female character even though The Fountainhead is the prototype of Atlas Shrugged. She was much more fully formed and the concept you described here makes a lot more sense in that novel’s context. In Atlas Shrugged it’s a lot less interesting (possibly…

She’d have been big in the BDSM scene for sure.

I think that book was super appealing to a certain subset of teenage girls (cough me cough) because you can live out your Cool Girl fantasy and all the adults have forgotten how much horrible sex is in it. They’re just like, “Isn’t that the one about trains?” and you can be all “Huh? Oh yeah! The trains. Trains are…

While the man she’s having an affair with LITERALLY presents her with her own shackle!

Way to go, Ayn!

Maybe it just wasn’t that great of a joke
