The New Yorker did an amazing piece on the history of the NRA for all of these fools who talk about its storied longevity as a gun owners’ rights advocacy group. Up until the 1980s, the NRA was a benign non-profit that taught gun safety. Its mission changed (ahem, got high-jacked) by a rogue faction at its convention…

My favorite part of her story is how desperate she was to be an actress and had to settle for acting like a piece of shit in public for gun manufacturers.

I came here to let people know that Dana Loesche’s children are home schooled. She doesn’t give a shit about school safety.

I’d like the mainstream media to stop referring to the NRA as a “gun rights advocacy group” and start referring to it more accurately as a “gun manufacturer’s lobbyist organization”.

Conservatives really hate that invisible hand once its slaps them in the face.

summered at SullCrom and was a first year there until he couldn’t pass the NY Bar.

When the party has abandoned all pretext of balancing the budget or paying down the national debt (which they only care about when the dems hold the White House) there is no fiscal conservatism left in the upper reaches of that party. “Give all the money to the rich” is some kind of economic ideology, but it’s not…

Considering I used to be pretty damn conservative in high school (I was young and naive) and didn’t lose any friends over it, I’m gonna go with it was your specific brand of conservatism that turned people off. I mean you’re in a room listening to Richard Spencer of your own volition...

Can’t help but wonder what kind of answer she got to that question. (Of course, the question of why MSM - right down to the NYT - seems utterly fascinated with these Nazis and keeps continuing to give them platforms and coverage is another matter ...)

It’s funny to me how defensive they are and how they paint themselves as victims for not fitting in, which is exactly the sort of behavior that they mock liberals for.

I went to law school with a fool who ended up as a nominal player in the alt-right. This guy was smart (summered at SullCrom and was a first year there until he couldn’t pass the NY Bar.) Published an article in a Top 10 Law Review; said article is widely sited. He got a Bassett hound puppy from a breeder while we…

This is pretty much spot on, although their variation of fiscal conservatism is less actual conservatism and more in allocation of the same spending in ways that enforce the social conservatism.

I think they do, which is just hilariously stupid. Other whites considered my ancestors subhuman and caricaturized them as being ape-like to justify their oppression. One of the most ironic and idiotic things I’ve seen recently is an Irish chapter of one of those White Identitarian groups hanging a racist poster over…

“I like drama...I kind of follow it around, I had nothing better to do.”

Does Spencer (and all the idiots like him) believe that if they got rid of all the POC, the remaining whites will magically get along with each other? European history is filled with whites murdering other whites. Just b/c you share one superficial trait with another human being doesn’t mean you’re going to be BFFs.

It also reeks of white privilege. That they can treat this as a game or an amusement. Meanwhile POC are being brutalized.

When I saw that statement, I thought there was probably WAY more to it. It’s likely she didn’t lose those friends due to “conservatism” in the original fiscal sense, but because she was racist and bigoted. The two aren’t always intertwined in a sane and actual democratic society.

I read this part the same way, her mind has already been made up but she wants more justification to be racist. I think a lot of these assholes believe that if they find enough bullshit “justification” for their racism spouted from pseudo intellectuals then they aren’t actually racist, since, in their minds, the…

Steve Bannon’s “rootless white males.”

I had nothing better to do.
