    In that he's forever done arguing anything in good faith, and that it's all just shitty alt-right performance art like he's a less wordy gturner or a more wordy Joker?

    I'm still not above responding to him when I'm bored, but let's not pretend he's anything other than a troll using us to sharpen his empty rhetorical skills. :shrug:

    Do you often see upside down red triangles and 14-88 in the media you consume?

    No. (I had to google just to understand the significance.)

    Must you smear anyone who disagrees with you?

    Look, all I'm saying is I'm not sad that Rush Limbaugh died.
    What significance does that have to this thread?
    Who can say?
    I'm mysterious.

    Really? You had to google it? Even after you had been tagged three times in a thread about it?

    I’ll try tagging you again in the thread so you can respond.

    I suppose that's a troll aimed at me based on how often it appears lately.

    But you can dance on Rush's grave for all I care.

    Now, now, Limbaugh is one of God's precious creations.
    Of course, Paladin's an atheist, so that holds no sway with him.
    He should see Limbaugh as atoms being reclaimed by nature to make some nice flowers.
    Or something like that.
    Me, I hope Limbaugh becomes a tree that gets made into artwork slips for Patton Oswalt blu-rays.

    Also Paladin has been pretty terrible even before Trump (see: his defense of white rapists and whites killing blacks).

    I dunno, if he genuinely believes the horseshit he's laying down in the climate thread, then the marbles are falling out of his ears, and he's heading down the path to Dinner crazy followed shortly after by Storm crazy.

    Don't confuse silently applauding them for actual intelligence. He just did not have to type out all the crazy when he could agree with the other nutbars. Now he has to do it himself because they are gone. He is the same person he always was. There is no decline.

    Um, the fact that he supports Trump and the enablers in the GOP is all you need to know.

    The cheese fell off his cracker some time ago.

    Your assumption there was ever cheese on his cracker shows your woeful lack of insight into other people.

    This is what I love about white people. All of a sudden they notice someone is a racist and they are all surprised. No, @Paladin turned into a racist right wing POS. He watched too much faux news and they got him.

    It is a lie. He was always this way. This was always what he was about. The resentment coming from people like paladin, oldfella, federal farmer, Uncle albert, and all of rightforge is because the world is changing around them. They are not changing, but the world is changing around them and they cannot and do not want to change. The reality is a lot of people around here are changing with the tide too. You have no reason to be opposed to other races, sexuality, cultures, or genders. The right was always like this, only the main mass of society was running with them like a current. But now society is shifting the way it wants to go again. It is looking to diversity. It is seeing the others are actually quite fun and interesting and wanting to get to know them.

    I saw one of my best friend's black family in high school. They were fucking awesome and fun. I saw comedians like Pryor, murphy, and at that time cosby and they were cool and I wanted them in my world much more than I wanted the racists. Because of all of that it made me want to see more, and know more of the truth. I am not alone in that. Woke is not a crime or bad word. It is being able to see the true people around you rather than the reflections you get from the opinions of others. We awoke from their dreams and lies to discover the others are awesome and we want them in our world.

    Paladin does not think that way. He wants to go back to his dream. He wants to go back to the whispers and rumors other people told him about the others because it made him feel good about himself. They told him he was superior and he did not even have to try to beat the others as long as he supported the right. As long as he supports the right he has security in his place in power and that makes him feel secure and safe. He knows, he is probably on the backside of the human curve. He knows he is not that bright. He knows he is not that strong. He knows that in the world he set up that his legacy makes him strong. He also knows that legacy is made the fuck up, and if he wants to keep it he has to back all the other people who believe in those fantasies.

    You will never get through to him because your world has nothing to offer him. He is not special in it, and he sees no value in himself so he knows in his heart no one else is going to find value in him. I would say that is not true as there are many people on the left who would value him anyway, but he cannot imagine that because he sees no value in himself except in a stack of lies created by his ancestors about his skin color and heritage.

    Nah, it's all a means to an end. He'd support Jeffery Dahmer if it lowered his taxes, and defend Charles Manson's crimes if it helped his stock holdings.

    Paladin's looking out for Paladin, the rest of the planet can burn. :shrug:

    And making every thread into a debate about your own personal "philosophy" quickly grows tiresome.

    *Sad nostril laugh*

    The hippie girl at my high school made a play where she yells and finger points at a CEO for half an hour, and one of the lines I remember was "how are you gonna spend your money if there's no WORLD??!?! :mad:".

    28 years later, they still can't answer that question.

    Turns out they don't have to.
    The smoke stacks keep chugging.
