"I'm not sure how or why someone should put "cultural value" on their homeland if they can't get a job"

Everyone on the left was saying it the whole time though. All the polling in early 2016 showed Sanders doing way better than Clinton against Trump.

This is the destructive logic of capitalism. Small towns and rural areas, because they've been abandoned by capital, are then abandoned by their youth who are their only economic and cultural future. Those youth then wonder why the rural areas are motivated by resentment. I'm not saying any individual has an…

Hahahaha nice code for "the Mexicans will run the whole damn place." Fascist.

Small towns and rural areas have been abandoned by liberal elites in so many ways. Most importantly they have been abandoned by business and government. But also it's become a point of pride for liberals to brag about how bad their home town was and how glad they are to have escaped, to the point it is a decades old…

I think the people who elected a Black man and either voted Trump or didn't vote this year might have voted for a Jewish man.

Boy I loved these, and if they'd bring them back I know my kids would love them and I would love buying them for them. They were a lot more versatile than the franchise branded stuff. You could take any 4 of these space ship sets and create a decent monster space ship.

Haha yeah, I was there Saturday with about 20 other cars (Louis CK in pbg Friday baby!). Drizzled through NLD and it did indeed add to the atmosphere, almost felt like we were there. Especially, like I said, when the emergency broadcast started naming towns 10 miles from me. By the way the cemetery from the opening…

Our local drive in played Night of the Living Dead and Texas Chain Saw Massacre a couple weeks ago and I'd forgotten how good the writing and acting in NLD is, and how gory it is. Definitely better than any of The Walking Dead. It was also fun to see some now really tiny western PA towns by me get name checked in the…

This looks cool as hell but what kind of asshole takes a video game to the park when his dog wants to play?

When I find out someone I like supports Trump I comfort myself by knowing that no individual's vote is going to have any effect, so I can let them exercise whatever demon they're possessed by in that way and not feel any need to engage or judge.

My sister supported Trump early on because he would bring jobs back [sic], particularly coal jobs. Appalachia hates Clinton for NAFTA and Obama for EPA regulations on fossil fuels. I'm not sure but I think his sleaziness has turned her off since then.

The only Trump supporters I know are conservative Catholics and they know he's evil but think his SCOTUS picks will be better and that's enough for them.

Eh. Berlosconi is sufficient.

The conceptual difference between a crime and a personal affront is that when you commit a crime you are not just affronting the victim, you are affronting the community. So if what you did was a crime that was never prosecuted, like Faraci's case, then I think public contrition and penitence is right. But then I…

For me it is commenting on pop culture articles.

The one about A Wrinkle In Time gave me a lasting fear of the dark.

I just got my dad the first season of Woodwright's Shop for his birthday. That intro sequence is so ingrained in my mind and Roy Underhill is still my paradigm of good masculinity.

I absolutely oppose the "alt-right" and its antecedents. I support unconditional amnesty, unlimited immigration and reparations for slavery. But I feel some kind of sympathy for their grief and anger over loss of culturally/ethnically cohesive communities. Integration was necessary, but had there been a way of…

Interesting Vox article on this today. Men's Liberation Movement: MRAs without the misogyny. http://www.vox.com/2016/9/2…
