    It's the lip-biting for me. It was a sexual thrill for this deviant to thrust that arm.

    The lip biting absolutely told you that what he was doing was intentional, deliberate, and enthusiastic in all respects.  Again, no living human adult in the western world doesn't know that's EXACTLY a nazi salute.  Fuck, if I ever even found my arm accidentally flying out in that pose, I would immediately self-consciously pull it back in and say "no" out loud, changing my gesture completely.

    But...and this is important....I'm not an evil sociopath who thinks that large swaths of humanity should suffer and/or die in order to serve my perverse vision, which I think is the only vision that should be forced upon the world, and the world should accept it because after all I am the most superior being who has ever lived because I have amassed great wealth which is the ultimate benchmark of how good a human you are.

    I initially thought that we could all just mask up for the next pandemic and be cool which Magatards died off but then I realized that banning the public sale of N95 masks is probably on the agenda.

    Not just the sale, but the wearing.  Wearing a mask will be a defiance of MAGA, and you will be placed in a deportation camp for processing.  I exaggerate only slightly.  Seriously, there WILL be rules/laws AGAINST wearing an N95 mask, I guarantee it.

    i feel like pieces of something a lot more catastrophic than grocery prices or international shame and embarrassment are floating around...

    but with the probability that vaccines will no longer be/can no longer be required, combined with kneecapping the communication arm of our institutions meant to educate and inform of disease/health risks...i mean... are we... like wtf is the actual end game here?? we all gonna die? where's the profit in that?

    You are forgetting that the cruelty is the point.

    Causing suffering -- especially needless, pointless suffering, in furtherance of no rational policy goal -- is the ULTIMATE display and demonstration of raw power.  There is no greater display of power than "fuck you, that's why."  And that's a theme that runs through the regime's agenda.  "Fuck you, that's why."  It's a display of power and dominance, and cruelty and suffering is the surest shortcut to that.  That's it.  That's all we're dealing with here.

  4. Oh, and I'm aware that crippling the CDC exposes all of us to massive risk, spreading illness, stacks of bodies.

    Fuck it.  The only language we the people will listen to is pain and death.  So....bring it.  We're all going to have to suffer...a lot....before it gets through our thick head that maybe guzzling cyanide to spite brown people isn't a great plan.

    THANK GOD.  PRIORITIES, PEOPLE!

    Death, pestilence, mass unemployment, thousands of lives turned upside down....but at least that one trans kid will really, really know we hate him.  And THAT'S what matters.

    Nope, he's an obnoxious* Dodgers fan. 
    Wait, I guess the use of "obnoxious" was redundant there.

    Sorry, Bruin, had to. You know we're thinking of you and want to help in any way we can. Up until Opening Day, of course.

    Fuck.  I forgot that Sbbruin was a Dodgers fan.

    Fuck any nice or sympathetic shit I said about him.  I hope that squirrels break into his empty home and shit on everything now.

    trump = man of the people !!!

    Seriously.  

    The MAGAts voted for Trump because "fuck the elites!  We want a man of the people!"

    And that man does exactly what any sane person saw he was going to do: turn over the keys of the country to literal oligarchs.

    But isn't this true of any social arrangement?

    The libertarian concept I took from the above definition doesn't preclude taxation ...

    Anyway, I understand the argument of simplistic, but I think all systems of government and economics suffer from the same fate when introduced to human nature.  I'd just like a system where the government is designed to take care of the citizens basic needs but no laws governing morality that doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights.  IE murder, theft, etc.

    To the bolded, yes and no.

    Yes, all systems of government have to deal with and overcome the issues created by human nature.  Those that ACKNOWLEDGE human nature, and created mechanisms that allow for it in managed form (e.g., greed is a natural impulse, so we allow people to pursue full-on naked capitalist enterprises.....but we don't allow them to commit fraud, to steal, etc.) are the most successful and ultimately beneficial.

    Note that perfection and hitting the bullseye is impossible.  And even a relatively good system (e.g., the American one) can suffer from fundamental failings (like the one at our inception: a "capitalist" system built in large part on slave labor, or the one we're dealing with right now: oligarchical capture of the state).  But that puts such a liberal system in the bucket of "shitty...but still better than all the others."

    I don't know.  I don't dislike government.  In fact I think government has a vital role in setting the rules of the game.  That said, I think that governments tend to overstep that role.  

    Perfect world: 

    • Government provides common defense ...not "national interests", but legit, if we face aggression at home, we defend ourselves.
    • Government provides infrastructure (inclusive of utilities)
    • Government provides healthcare
    • Government provides education
    • Government provides regulatory environment
    • Government protects the borders and issues visas
    • Government sets tax rates
    • Government sets basic laws that 99% of sane people can agree on (IE no killing other people, no stealing from people, No diddling kids, etc)

    Then...

    • Government stays the fuck out of my life

     

    Yeah, again, you're describing a pretty common flavor of classical liberalism.  The hell of it is, if you float these concepts to the American people, you'd get broad majority support.  But, because a huge chunk of the people have been distracted by the shiny object of bullshit hotbutton issues ("DON'T BE WOKE!"), they reflexively OPPOSE these things and/or vote enthusiastically for people who have promised to prevent/destroy these things.

    We just elected a regime that wants to invade and seize Greenland because we are "the apex predator."  And a lot of those votes were because they supposedly wanted a regime that "keeps us out of foreign wars."  See the inherent stupidity?  Oh, and those same people?  Most of them would characterize themselves as libertarian given the opportunity.  Just fucking stupid.

    Our problem, and our ultimate failure, will be because we are too stupid to continue as a functioning Republic.  It was probably inevitable, eventually.

  8. Because it’s not terribly different than communism: pie-in-the-sky concepts that sound lovely…and don’t survive their first contact with basic human nature. “Libertarianism” becomes a toxic stew of anarcho-capitalism, consolidated oligarchical power, and the tragedy of the commons. Just like communism immediately descends into a lack of real production and innovation, with the only success story being a small cadre of elites.
    Do you like clean and reliable drinking water, fire protection, a network of usable and accessible roads, a somewhat educated population, basic shit like that? Libertarianism in practice hates those things. Nothing has value unless it can yield profit, and only maximum profit is good. There is no public or common good.

  9. I’ll wait for you to actually denounce and condemn something meaningful that Trump does. That will be my entertainment these four years.
    You gotta find amusement where you can. Your disingenuous gymnastics are good for that.

    "Brainworms.  I don't like or support Trump in any way [I just never fail to excuse/justify/dismiss as meaningless anything he does]."  Save that.  Copy and paste it for all your future posts, and save everyone here the chore of reading your latest round of disingenuous mental gymnastics.

    This will all blow over.  I advise liberals to take up a hobby like golf - or hunting.   Hunting nuisance hogs is a good thing - and AR platforms are useful for getting rid of these nuisance hogs.   

    We should make a greater effort to find common cause with our friends on the right.   They also like weapons, and liberals buying weapons would give us something to bond over with them. 

    Oh, I blew past the "every person left of MAGA should arm the fuck out of themselves" point years ago.  I unironically advise the most anti-gun people I know to arm themselves silly.  

    Because the folks who yell the loudest about "we gotta arm ourselves to protect against an oppressive gubmint!" are damned well turning that into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Biden said that he wasn't going to pardon Hunter. Media ran with that, until he did. Preemptive pardon for Fauci backdated to 2014 is ridiculous, and even moreso when Jake Sullivan announced a new inquiry into Covid origins like 24 hours earlier. The second paragraph is projection Brisket. Take a step back.  

    Blah blah blah.  Trump does it -- Ana finds a way to be okay with it, no matter what it is.  Anyone who opposes Trump does something?  Ana will always find some way or reason to condemn it.

    It's fascinating to watch.

    You insist that you're not a Trumper, while supporting/excusing him with more consistency than even many of the MAGAts I know.  That you fail to see it - or just deny it - is another layer of fascinating.

    I saw the clip from the Libertarian convention at the time. I didn't actually think that Trump was going to follow through with it. I am not particularly offended that he did. But do note that he modified the commitment from a commutation to a full and unconditional pardon, which I do not really agree with. 

    But Biden pardoning Hunter....unforgivable.  Biden pre-emptively pardoning Fauci when numerous voices in the Trump regime have repeatedly called for his fucking EXECUTION....unforgivable.

    You always find a way to conclude that what Trump did is at least ok.  Maybe you don't agree with it 100%, but you find a way to conclude it's okay.  Any government official OTHER than Trump does something?  Total condemnation.  You do this to yourself.

    So the dude that ran a website selling everything from drugs to children to murder shouldn't be locked up for the rest of his life? Right? Right?

    Just commit one way or admit you are pro crime.

    He's not "pro crime."  He's just an ardent believer in "if Trump did it, I can always explain it away/excuse it."

    what about pardoning the mastermind of an international illegal drug trade who was convicted by a jury, upheld by the 2nd circuit, and denied cert by the supreme court? why not go ahead and throw el chapo a pardon as well? wait, he's not white and from westlake. my bad.

    A pardon for Chapo is there for the taking.

    All he has to do is find a way to funnel some of his many millions to Trumpco.  He should instruct his fellas to buy a shitload of Trump memecoins and NFTs, and let Trump know about it.  He'll have his pardon within a week.

    What is he going to do about the meme coins the president and his peeps are pumping and dumping costing idiots money? Nothing? Cool.

    Nothing?

    Oh...my child.  "Nothing" would be neutral.  This regime is going to do everything possible to enable, empower, and absolutely protect naked fraud and pump-and-dump bullshit.

    When you are employed by a regime whose motto is "ALWAYS BE GRIFTING," you must, at all costs, absolutely protect/shield the ability to conduct a massive, multi-billion dollar grift.

    Crypto bros think that the Trump regime is the greatest thing to happen to crypto.  In reality, his reign will be the thing that utterly exposes crypto for the complete scam/grift that it is.  Meanwhile, they'll defend every bit of it to the death, as millions get fleeced, and the regime's actors are enriched at the public's expense.  I'm going to love watching it.
