Id be happy to take up arms against America of it came to that. A lot of the fight has gone out of me, though, as I've come to realize that Trump is a symptom, not the disease. America has the same problem a lot of other cultures do, in that we are incapable of seeing the flaws in ourselves. Much like how Japan still can't bring itself to apologize for the atrocities it committed in WW2 or even acknowledge they happened. It makes me ask, what would I even be fighting for? To constantly swim upstream against the jingoistic drumbeat of American culture? No thank you. I'd rather go someplace where universal health care isn't seen by the general populace as some kind of hand out.
False. I am a pragmatist. Also false. If you drag the term down to the fucktard level of "anything a person who calls themselves a conservative says or does," MAYBE, but none of it applies to me. I'm not interested in the stupid game of coopting terms like "conservatism" and "progressivism" to suit whatever petty argument you're trying to make in the moment.
So my options are go to prison or lick the boot? Just fuck off and quit pretending to be reasonable, Rick. You're just another assclown expecting scripted performative noises as a display of ideological purity. No, I'm not going to blow up my whole life because someone's abuela got deported, and neither are any of you fucknuts, so enough with the fucking sanctimonious noise.
Bullshit. Your every nitpicky whine about corporate media is a de-facto demand for a corresponding ideal. The world pre-no-fault divorce was an illogical un-scientific emotion based utopia for misogynist domineering pigs, and you've cried for it to come back. Ain't nothing "pragmatic" about that shit. Y'know, you really need to go to another fresh board full of dumb little 20-somethings you can snow-job. Some new Lost Boys to be your little gang. All of us are too old to fall for your crap anymore.
This. There are pragmatic people on this board, and none of them do what UA does. That said, it's not uncommon for deeply emotional people (nothing wrong with that) to see themselves as pragmatic when they're complaining about things that don't affect them at all. Men, especially wealthy white men, have done it for generations. From their perspective, they're the reasonable ones, the logical ones, the unemotional "pragmatic" ones, and the rest of us are just filthy casuals, the lesser brained emotional women substitutes, who wish we had their sense of reason and logic and so are jealous of their "facts don't care about your feelings" approach. Critical Drinker is a fantastic example of that, as are people like Ben Shapiro, Nick Shirley, Nick Fuentes, and the other very angry, very online, very conservative contingent of beady eyed white men who believe they're the adults in the room while they shit their diapers in confusion and rage over what women and black folks are allowed to be and do with themselves. It would be a joke except these men have no compunctions in using the violence of the system to get what they want. The very same men who would shout "DON'T TREAD ON ME!" would call the cops in a heartbeat seeing a black man in a hoodie walking up their sidewalk.
I think they think their psychotic blocking of empathy is "facts over feelings". Yeah, if I laid into someone with a whip, and blocked out the screams, that's cold-blooded, but it isn't "logic" or "toughness" it's just being a psychopath. And they'd know the difference if they felt the lash on their back. And their confession of this is their constant pants-shitting terror of anything with the teensiest sniff of a worker's revolt.
UA just confessed it with his "the mob will always turn on you next!! " shit. Muthafucka "the mob" will turn on your ass because you're a fucking class traitor who spent the last 10 years beating off to ICE violence. Who the fuck is gonna trust someone like that not to pull a fucking Benedict Arnold? There's no fucking way.
Oh, absolutely. I wouldn't lift a finger to protect him at this point if he reaped what has been sown. He has clearly made his choice and, like Milo, he can experience the full weight of that choice. I certainly wouldn't confide in him or consider him an ally. He couldn't be trusted anyway. Look, when some of us explain how the current administration is harming people, we cite sources. When UA makes his claims about trans people, or women, or who the hell knows, he only has his emotional certainty. It's that same mindset of projection, because he'd turn us in on a dime for a lick of the boot. The whole crowd he seems to find his inspiration from often turn on each other.
Not up to you. No, I don't have to be prescriptive to criticise. You and Amaris have a real problem with confining yourself to what was actually said and staying the fuck on topic. Your idiotic strawman version of it. You really think you have a handle on the human condition from behind your mother's skirt.
Keep in mind when you see this post, folks, that this man does not cite any sources, and when peer reviewed sources are presented to him, he dismisses them.
Right. Being ruled by unstable emotion like Amaris is the path to enlightenment. Just call it "empathy," and you are immune to criticism.
"Unstable emotion," folks, from the man who gets very angry when you don't let him dictate whether you're a man or a woman.
wow Mr. Category expressing his catgorialness self defining arbitrarianism....steps back...... looks...yeah that is the precise response to the original nonsense
Wow, I don't expect much, but that was worse than your usual keyboard smashing. Were your hands sticky with jam?
Again, see? This is what he does. If he is presented with evidence, he will point out that it doesn't say exactly what he thinks it should say, and so nothing comes of it. He is hyper-specific about his requirements, but his own judgments are vague and all-encompassing. He is a waste of time for anyone who possesses genuine thought and thinks they can converse with him. ChatGPT could do better, and it's just an empty word generator.
What options did you envision by calling me a "bootlicker," if not some fucktarded "part of the solution or part of the problem" dichotomy?
Oh, I get it. This is Amaris making every fucking thread about transgenderism so I can be blamed for the tangent. You can both eat a dick.
Nope. If you were capable of that simple human feat, you would have looked at Ayn Rand and gone "what a bunch of shit".
