one thing i always wondered about the midwest is how are they so unreconstructed when they were never reconstructed in the first place???

my fantasy is that eminem steps up. he’s pretty socially conscious, is vastly more famous than kid rock, was raised working class by a single mother in michigan, and would fucking eviscerate kid rock in a battle rap/debate.

studies show that half of republicans and 30% of democrats are malignant racists. that’s where hillary got her “basket of deplorables” numbers from. republicans are the party of white identity but both parties are firmly white supremacist in action and ideology, playing good cop/bad cop with an exploited and oppressed…

i respect your uh unique viewpoint on this issue

i dont know if you’ve ever heard stanhope’s standup but that sounds a lot like a joke to me.

south park takes a firm stance on issues all the time. gentrification, homophobia, the way social media changes people’s behavior. they did an episode about how fucked up it is that people fly the confederate flag. they did an episode on angry anti-immigrant people and it wasn’t exactly complimentary. they dedicated a…

it’s really, really hard to imagine hillary clinton “demonstrating” popular anger towards the ruling class, for the first time in her entire life.

there’s a reason i’m quoting the greatest american civil rights leader and not a glorified blogger. read mlk’s speeches and essays, you might learn something.

the whole krugman-parroting thing about post-uhc tax hikes is only applicable to certain forms of uhc. that’s why i’m not a huge fan of medicare for all, it’s a bloated system by design that fails to address the inefficiencies that make health care so expensive in the first place. you can go read about it on your own…

i can’t tolerate malazan but black company is pretty excellent for the first couple of books. it’s too tonally similar to game of thrones, really bleak and naturalistic. would definitely feel like a ripoff.

i was thinking about this and you’d lose a lot of the stuff that makes it great. really hard to convey stuff like an unreliable narrator with a photographic memory or secret spaceships on screen. it’s also got hella boobs and swords and monsters and laser beams, insane spectacle and action setpieces, memorable…

bezos is an evil, creepy lex luther wannabe bastard but i would love to see amazon pour some of their unlimited revenue into another high budget adaptation of a kickass series of books. something like the book of the new sun series, there’s never been anything like that on television.

you really don’t know the difference between democratic socialism and revolutionary communism? and you want to compare a glorified blogger like coates to actual civil rights activists? what’s wrong with you? are you 12? you realize that every other civilized country on the planet has universal health coverage AND…

this isn’t really up for debate, there’s no question that the engine of racial oppression is primarily economic. read some goddamn mlk sometime, he wasn’t some limp dick milquetoast power-flattering chump like coates. name a top-down antidiscrimination policy and i’ll support it 100%, it doesn’t mean shit without…

i was extremely specific about what you’re lying about. you were lying about bernie not explaining how single payer health care systems work. you tried to backpedal by specifying “during the election” but that’s not true, either. you were lying about bernie not speaking to crowds of trump supporters, it’s kinda been…

yeah but i haven’t lied to the av club commentariat kinjaverse gizmodo vertical, 10cities. you’re a bizarrely dishonest and proudly ignorant person.

actually, yeah, lots of trump voters are lining up to hear bernie speak on health care. it’s a thing you could look up. do you need a verrit code, or are you capable of googling?

you’re a vicious idiot and liar and i’m currently taking a shit that has more compassion and political acumen than you. please go fuck yourself and stop injecting the av club kinjaverse with your aggressively ignorant bullshit. thanks!

yes, every president is a war criminal.

i’ll thank you in advance for not trying to whitewash and silence the voices of bernie’s POC supporters in the future. please stop being a perfect caricature of obliviously racist low-info white liberals. thanks!
