I spent way too long trying to figure out what “tgis” stood for
We downvote conservative propaganda here, enjoy
Trump voters are the victim of a con, but the con is bigger than Trump. Conservatism in general is a con that needs misinformation networks like talk radio, fox news, facebook groups, etc. Without having been steeped in that bullshit for 40+ years, Trump would never have succeeded. It’s the whole ecosystem that’s doing the radicalization, not just Trump.
When the Trump fever finally breaks
Oh you sweet, beautiful child. Never change.
expect the backlash to be swift and bloody
I do. I just think you and I have different ideas of who the target will be.
The gadsden flag but the snake is being tread on and says “one day I’ll own this boot”
Also MFW my desire to love and be understood is thwarted by my fear of loss and the existential horror of being known
boomer-ass joke
Thin blue line was not co-opted by the alt right, it’s just straight up fascist and always has been.
No it isn’t
Here are some similar aphorisms:
Statements like these are truisms. They are widely accepted and often broad enough that they can easily be turned against their intended purpose. For instance, you could use “no labels” to say that people shouldn’t be racist. But you can also use it when people are pointing out or trying to correct racism, because correcting racism necessarily involves pointing out the racializing labels that are applied to people. They can also be used by dominant groups to say “don’t label me as a member of the dominant group” in order to mask the material benefits they are receiving as members of said group.
Imagine thinking that any for-profit company built on VC funding won’t end up data mining.
No but see now you get to pee, which feels good. It’s just a bonus!
You were responding to:
We also pay for their bailouts and subsidies. Piracy is ethical.
There was nothing in this statement to suggest the motive behind piracy had anything to do whether or not it is ethical. There was nothing in this statement to indicate that the author was engaging in piracy for purely altruistic reasons.
I don’t see how the author was “making excuses to pretend [they] don’t” “want free stuff.” And I don’t see how arguing that piracy is ethical is implicitly arguing that you only do it for altruistic reasons. I think bringing up the selfish motives behind piracy without prompting is an implicit admission that there is a connection between selfish motives and the ethics of piracy. And finally, I think parsimony is effective.
There is always unwillingness by piracy advocates to acknowledge that some people do it just because they want free shit.
Some people do it just because they want free shit. I don’t care. It’s still good.
literally re-inflating the bouncy castle
What if my computer isn’t attached to a bouncy castle? Do I need to buy special hardware for this?
Remember kids, when brown people do something bad, it’s terrorism. When white people starve an entire population after a failed occupation, that’s just because we are very concerned about misogyny. Now, starving an entire country en masse has (to my knowledge) never caused a government to be overthrown, and in this case has no chance of improving the treatment of women in the country. Nor have women in Afghanistan ever asked for sanctions, nor do they support them now that they are in place. But don’t let that fool you in to thinking we’re doing it for any reason other than to help women in Afghanistan.
Before you respond, please take a look at my post and notice I said _nothing positive about the Taliban _. This is about the disingenuous use of women’s rights to excuse and even celebrate mass starvation.
