Please tell me this one’s fake.

This is what I don’t get about people criticizing you. If I had to pick regimes to be allies of on the basis “net good” -or better still ,“net bad”- I would dump many current allies and pick Castro’s Cuba. I mean according to people who know better, we have to ally ourselves with horrible people, so this is all if I ha…

But how is that not saying it’s equivalent to scale? When you say “He’s our Hitler” that’s what you’re saying. You’re saying on the scale of Cuba, Castro = Hitler. When you’re saying Nazi Germany (where there was industrialized mass genocide) is the same as Castro Cuba, that’s what you’re saying.

Dude, I live in another country, have only kept up a passing interest in the Flint story, couldn’t point to it on a map, and only know the general MSM story of the decomposition of that part of the US, and I still think I know it’s absolutely fucking appalling to make a sign like this and the one from the other post.

Exactly - while I think body building is weird as fuck and part of me would love to use this incident to put them all in a box to satisfy my previously stated bias, this is the first every “body builder flips out” story I’ve seen. This guy apologizing for this dick is something I did not ever expect to see under this…

Yup. What amazes me is the conversation is still dominated by this man and talking about horrible he is, rather than the tens of millions of people who voted for him and have given him a mandate and legitimized his trollish behavior. We know how horrible he is - but his followers literally don’t give a shit what he…

Hah, this is a bigger irony than the amount of stars you have suggests. Have another.

Oh just to be clear, I don’t think it’s at all pitchfork-worthy. At all.

My opinion:

Disagree - it’s all connected. I’m fucking sick of parsing all this shit - all assholishness just needs to stop. It’s like society is half full of adults who never grew the fuck up.

“It isn’t fascism, it’s paint”

I think the point many people are trying to make is that most trolls are just as dangerous as actual racists. It’s members of a majority harassing a minority out of either hate or mischief and neither is ok.

They want to be selective in who they give a shit about. That’s the hallmark of the conservative right.

This is really hard because it seems like people like me who feel Carlson is also actively part of the problem are somehow blaming her for being the victim. I don’t think we are - we are not saying “look at what she was wearing”, we’re saying “She was supporting the bullies then they turned on her and seeing as…

This. She was one of the worst at spewing ignorance - she aligned herself with the section of society who have now helped elect a misogynist and other-ist, all because of her own fucked up priorities as a human being.

If you have to ask this question, then no, hitting someone will not feel good to you. And that’s a good thing.

I’m actually really interested in the “Rust belt and white middle class has it hard and Hillary didn’t care about them” narrative. Seems like a lot of Monday morning quarterbacks are winning smarty pants points with this.

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis.

PlayStation store is an eyesore no matter what you’re looking for. Worst UI/logic ive encountered for such a massive product.

What amazing me is that so much of the American voting pupulace read the email story and let it effect them enough to have such an effect in the polls.
