  1. There is no signal, no truth....only noise. That is the root of our entire fucking problem. It's not just that it's all noise, it's that noise is elevated to a sacramental level, and signal/rational objectivity is demonized.
  2. Well, depending on how you feel about the current direction of the Arch-led offense.....those might not be inconsistent views.
  3. Dude. That would presume that the desire to finally have an excuse to murder the fuck out of leftists in "all-out war" and ban all speech and political activities in opposition to the regime - which they have shouted for at crescendo-levels for the past couple of days - depends on some sort of rational foundation being in place. You're adorable.
  4. Dude, it's simple, and totally makes sense. Here, look at this display I put together....
  5. Yep. DOTUS just excused, justified, and approved of right wing violence motivated by hatred for "immigrants and crime" - on live TV. Said, literally, "it's not a problem," because those are good motives. But that approach by the actual president of the united states...well, it's no problem at all.
  6. Just putting this back on top, because gosh.....ALL of the people who were SUPER DUPER ALL THE WAY MEGA-CONCERNED about violent political rhetoric are....missing? Abducted by aliens? Gosh, we should investigate what happened to them. Get Kash's FBI on it, presuming he's not already cavorting with Loki or some shit. Because I'm really worried. All those folks who had a good-faith, genuine concern about violent political rhetoric and its inevitable ramifications, well, surely they'll be along to say "yeah, that DOTUS said is truly fucked up, and dead-wrong" any minute now.....any...minute...now.
  7. Also, it seems that we're still not able to (and may never be able to) put the shooter in any specific ideological box. Seems like the only thing that looks certain here is that he was was subjected to and joined in on some fucked up ideas from "online weirdo" world, which seems to be a theme of some frequency nowadays. Bottom line: as a society, we've created an information infrastructure that spews online insanity at firehose pressure from countless different outlets. And as a result, the number of people who fall prey to any of an infinite number of permutations of online batshittery has risen exponentially. And the more vulnerable folks you inflame, the more that are likely to turn that inflammation into action. TLDR; when our main focus as a society is setting as many fires as we can, we can't be surprised when some of those fires explode and cause material external harm. Yet we live in a society where nothing is valued more than...being inflammatory and setting fires. So, we're gonna get more of it.
  8. Guess they'll have to hang JD Vance, as he compared Trump to Hitler. Of course, they also wanted to hang Mike Pence, so....sic semper Trump's VPs, I guess.
  9. Man. We were all better off when the main internet meme was that stupid dancing baby.
  10. There you have it. Note how I have referenced some "radicals on the right," like the mass-murdering shooters in El Paso, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh? And our local MAGA defenders here said "nobody is celebrating them?" The president....Of the entire United States...Just said in plain English that those people -- who openly stated that their motivation was immigration, crime....pretty much the laundry list he JUST SAID in that clip -- are not a problem. Right wing radicals motivated by rhetoric on immigration, crime, and the like -- which 100% includes men who murdered 22 brown people, 9 black people, and 11 jewish people (and there are several others I'm not listing here) -- are not a problem, because he AGREES WITH THEIR MOTIVES/PURPOSE. Signed, YOUR POTUS Defend that. Anyone. Defend it. Go ahead, step up, this is your guy.
  11. This too. There's a near 0% chance the shooter was aiming for a neck shot. It was very likely a head shot, perhaps a chest shot, and he missed....but it missed into a lethal spot. Which, again, most experienced deer hunters have done at one point or another -- "that wasn't exactly where I was aiming....but deer down, so all good."
  12. Yep. And the social media world is FULL of right wingers spouting how this was obviously a pro hit with a vast conspiracy involving Dems at the highest levels…while meanwhile, anyone who has ever made a 150+ yard shot with a 30/06 (a class that surely includes dozens of posters on here) was thinking “wait, this means I’m a professional assassin?”
  13. I suspect we'll also be able to add in there "wasn't getting laid." Young sexually frustrated dudes seems to be a particular point of vulnerability in modern America.
  14. Oh, but wait....don't forget the Buffalo shooter who murdered 9 black people for being black: What's that? We also have the Tree of Life shooter who killed 11 jews for being jewish? So, we have actual political leaders -- including high-level members of the governing regime -- fomenting those EXACT ideas, using those EXACT words. Celebrating those events? How about tossing the gasoline on the fire that makes them inevitable? I guess that's cool. So cool that you should actually reward the people who say them and push them with your vote. I just find it amazing that we have (1) actual political leaders pushing hateful rhetoric, (2) awful people unquestionably inspired by that rhetoric (3) murdering dozens of people to serve that rhetoric and purpose.....and not only do y'all not care, you reward the speakers with your vote. But this week -- and not until this week -- "violence-inciting" speech is the greatest threat you've ever heard of. I even see conservatives going online, crying "now we're being hunted!" Dude. Black people, jews, hispanics, we're all over here going:
  15. So.....people who incite hate that leads to violence are awful humans. Huh. Where, oh where, did the El Paso shooter who murdered 22 people for being brown hear these ideas, terms, and words? Are the people who have repeatedly used those violence-inducing terms and labels "awful humans" as well? I'm just trying to get my scorecard right before I sign it.
  16. I wonder where the guy who went to El Paso and murdered 22 brown people got HIS ideas.... I find it FASCINATING that y'all are....today....concerned about violence-inciting political rhetoric. Quite interesting indeed. I wonder why that is?
  17. Again. Horst Wessel, Reichstag fire, running the plays. Within a year, "opposing the regime" or its functional equivalent will be probable cause for criminal investigation/prosecution. How do we know this? Because the regime and numerous regime officials are effectively saying so, and because its supporters are demanding it.
  18. Well, I mean....the suspect on camera was literally a white guy...in Utah...who had just shot a gun. Shit, you're qualified to be the new head of the FBI (sadly, I'm not kidding).
  19. The pieces were always there. There's an argument that this was inevitable. But there is no question that two terms of Obama absolutely broke our national brain. We clearly couldn't handle a black man as president...and we'll never recover from it.
  20. Some folks are starting to get it. But.... ....not enough. Nobody wants to believe a truth when it is so horrifically awful (the truth being that we are destined for a fascist authoritarian state where those disfavored by the regime have few legal rights or protections, and their lives and liberty can be declared forfeit by decree). But not wanting to believe it doesn't make it any less true. Sorry. I really, really, really wanted to be wrong. I love this country. I have loved it since I was old enough to read. I'm a patriot. And realizing that there's no stopping its complete collapse -- for NO FUCKING GOOD REASON, BY THE WAY -- is a perfect combination of infuriating and depressing. They have their Horst Wessel. They were ALWAYS going to have some Horst Wessel. And now, they are going to do exactly what fascist regimes do when they get their Horst Wessel. Which, again...they were ALWAYS going to do. This is how it ends. Justified, state-sponsored, state-protected violence against the opposition. It's the "state-sponsored and state-protected" part that should have you shitting your pants. For example, just this week, the trial of a man who tried to assassinate Trump is happening in Florida. If the script was flipped, and there was a man who tried to assassinate Biden or Harris....do you think we'd even be having a trial under this regime? Or would he be treated like the other people who attempted to take out our government by force, and be pardoned by the POTUS? You know the answer. The violence that is to come will either be by the State, or protected and pardoned by the State. There was a window of time when we could have prevented this. We are past that window. Now?
  21. Bell’s palsy is much better than balls palsy. Just…trust me on that.
  22. Don’t kink shame me.
  23. In other words…exactly what Brisket and others have been sounding alarm bells about for years now. This script is a known thing. And it always ends like this…and worse. Because it will get worse.
