    Yeah the people who vote right think everyone they meet is out of get them or take something from them they feel they “earned” or are “entitled to”

     

    …except for the con artist they voted for. That guy is totally above board and his $60 Bible was worth every penny!

    Conservatives think humans are inherently bad, which leads them to being fearful. Liberals think humans are inherently good

    Nah. I’m practically a red commie and I think humans are THE WORST.

    Crazy a team missing Trent, Ali, Jones, Thiago, Jota, Robbo for most of the last 3 months is leading the league. 
     

    Not to mention the Spurs game and the Doku Liu Kang kick. 

    Don't leave out the Arsenal hand-swat in the box. This league has absolutely robbed Pool of points against its top competitors.

    The evolution of this discussion is pretty fascinating. I basically got called an antisemitic conspiracy theorist for linking this article back in October.

    Here’s a shocker: the board’s dumbfuck reactionaries turned out to be dumbfuck reactionaries. I put the worst offenders on ignore back in October and ditched the brainless DT thread entirely, and the conversation has been far more enlightening as a result.

    If the Israelis succeed in either destroying or displacing the Palestinians then following up by settling the area themselves

    I figure plenty of Texans still choose to celebrate Lee’s birthday instead of the actual federal holiday. 

    What is it with the right wing and their idolization of whiny losers? Lee was a pussy and a fraud. Fuck that guy.

  7. First of all, good on you for reevaluating your opinion. That takes guts.

    What Israel is doing is inconceivable.

    Unfortunately, it’s not. When you’re ready, dig in a bit more on the history of this conflict. It’s depressing.

    “Pro wrestling culture” is spot-on and I’ve been saying the same thing since 2015.

    Trump was essentially cutting extended wrestling promos at his rallies. And his rank and file acolytes received it like wrestling fans. I remember one article in which a CNN cameraman reported that the crowd jeered him throughout a rally but, afterward, several attendees approached him to say what a great job he was doing. It was like they thought the Trump’s whole attack on the media was just a WWE storyline and each side was just playing a role. I’ve seen the same exact behavior from fans at a live wrestling show. Which might explain why Trumpers are unbothered when confronted with evidence that Trump doesn’t truly believe what he says. That’s not jarring to them because they instinctively believe he’s just playing a role. 

    The problem occurs when and if fiction starts morphing into reality. That Trump might not believe, for example, that the media is the enemy of the people will be cold comfort if his crowd internalizes the fictional narrative and persecutes the media on his behalf.

    I don’t know who that is. 
     
    I was talking about the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese, both believing they had some kind of genetic superiority. 

    Ironically, exceptionalism is universal.

    Wife and managed to make it thru the whole thing last night. Christ what a beating and those poor families. 

     

    Jones is a souless sociopath. 

    Y’all should check out the podcast Knowledge Fight. The hosts just destroy Jones 2-3 times a week. It’s very well researched and often hilarious.

    Yeah. I would argue that whoever a society or people gets it into their heads that they are innately superior to another, really shitty things happen. 
     
    That’s why I think we Americans should embrace an identity as the mongrels and castoffs of the world. 

    Or we could learn from our sordid past and make better decisions.
