YES YES YES. There’s a word for a demographic of people with a lot of material advantages but insist on seeing themselves as underdogs. They’re called Trump voters. And Red Sox fans. Don’t be those guys. 

I want to fucking SMOOCH YOU

Red nude and mad

No actually post grads who move to Chicago are basically sustaining the city. If I had that attitude I wouldn’t have any friends. What they should not do is adopt the ‘long suffering’ pose, it’s fucking stupid.

We didn’t bask in the tragedy of it. We won! We fucking won! yay! hurray! We didn’t trot out the goddamn hair shirts and rosaries.

No it’s really not, especially in an anonymous comment section. Cubs fans have always bleated about their tragic grand futility in a way that White Sox fans simply don’t.

I’m from Marquette Park, actually. Go fuck a duck Chachi

I’d be happy if they just enjoyed it and didn’t fucking milk it. But they will! Those junior VPs from Northbrook need to feel like long suffering blue collar Grabowskis from Portage Park.

Yeah I’m not salty about the Cubs winning, if anything I hope they’ll shut the fuck up about it. Good to see successful sports in Chicago no matter what.

I know that, dipshit, it was funny

I’m begrudging overly performative fandom, yes

I’ll give you a high five on that one

You know who didn’t fucking do this? White Sox fans, after 88 years. We had some dead family members too but didn’t caterwaul about it endlessly.

Without a doubt best Bears QB in 60 years. Not even close

Waving the fuckign dildo around!?!?

Please please please can we get Clickhole and Deadspin together so I can finally have my dream website Deadhole.

A little late but you are welcome BBP

Feels good man

I think that’s over-hyped. Typically it’s the capital requirements over teh regulatory barriers. It depends whether it’s regulatory capture or not. Seems like some of the worst capture is stuff like cosmetology licenses.

And remember guys, this is a Democrat thing as much as a Republican thing. Matt Stoller’s article in the Atlantic talks about how Dems dropped the ball on anti-trust (Thomas Frank has written great stuff as well about Dems and anti trust as well)
