The problem is they don’t let you ignore them. They harass other people and get their followers to do the same. Then they get suspended or banned (as they should) and cry oppression.

Twitch and YouTube need to be better at shutting this shit down. It’s the only feasible solution.

I prefer Bible Dude.

TL;DR:

Progressives with ideas that would have been wildly popular with the “Greatest Generation” back in the day are facing an uphill battle just to prove they aren’t the answer to the extremist right, and I’m just so sick of it all.

Yeah, you’d think that would be the case since Anders Behring Breivik slaughtered 77 and then explicitly invoked the conspiracy theory in his largely-plagiarized manifesto, but... nope.

Right-wingers are fighting this battle on the margins, and have been for a long time, but their efforts have succeeded in pushing…

I really don’t want to outright dismiss this person, but the fixation on attacking the site just because they’re critical of QAnon, as if that makes them non-critical of pedophilia and human trafficking/sex trade (even though that is far from the case), instantly makes me think “concern troll”. And if they aren’t,…

Hey, listen. I would never marry my cousin.

My sister is much prettier.

This is what happened with the toilet paper. While some people were indeed stockpiling, the main cause of the shortage was due to the inability to adapt the manufacturing and delivery process to changes in demand for certain products. No one warehouses toilet paper, and the hyper-efficient, streamlined, just-in-time…

Child sexual abuse.

I didn’t say that there is no such thing. I said that QAnon deserves no attention whatsoever. Hence:

This particular criticism rings hollow.

Same with the “Cultural Marxism” bullshit. Point out that this stuff literally comes from the minds of Nazis and people say, “oh, see, you’ve already lost the argument”.

If Jews aren’t actually being gassed by the state, you’re not allowed to call out fascism.

And BSA, but they were down with them when they wanted to keep the gays out. Because, you know, that’s what the REAL problem is.

Everything belongs to them, even (maybe especially) the stuff that criticizes them. It’s easy to see why: it robs the creators of their true voices and relegates beloved cultural touchstones to reside in a haze of nostalgia for the “good old days”. Of course Born in the USA and Fortunate Son are conservative anthems;…

That was out of the park.

The blue wall only holds for as long as silence or lies are enough to protect everyone. Once it’s breached, it’s every man for himself.

Put them all away.

If people get help from the government when things are bad, they’ll continue to expect help from the government when things are bad. That’s exactly what Republicans don’t want.

Republicans are okay with buying votes every now and then, which is why they approved of the first payment, but they also need to keep their…

It’s all there in Ecclesiastes, which he has cited before, as did John Paul II. Still not on board with the whole “god” thing myself, but it’s by far the most thoughtful and reflective book in the Bible, Old or New. Jewish existentialism, basically.

Maybe because in half a year, the infraction will have been erased from his record as per police union rules*, so why punish him so severely when everyone knows that he’ll soon have never done anything wrong in his entire career as far as anyone can prove?

*I don’t know if that’s actually the case here. But it very…

Come on. The clear frontrunner is Mohammed bin Salman.

I’m so sick of hearing “it’s his absolute right so just shut the fuck up.” That’s a legal defense, not a moral one, and you’re being criticized on moral grounds. Provide moral justification or else just say, “fuck you; I consider myself a king and I can do what I feel like for whatever reason or no reason at all”.
