Now let the :LIB: flow through you! :unlimited-power:
When some guy tweeted about the success of capitalism by showing grocery shelves full of dumb shit like ice cream for dogs.
You did it. I feel the Warp overtaking me. I need to run around screaming for a little while. Thanks. :shinji-screm:
Yeah its why I just don't understand why some people here have a hard time figuring out what "treats" are. Like it's one of those things that when you see it, you'll get it.
I think one problem is that a lot of people, including on Hexbear, get really, really defensive about their own treats and don't want those treats to be called treats and can't handle criticism of the treats or their fandoms.
I have some treats. The person reading this probably has some treats. Let they without treats cast the first Funko Pop. :jesus-cleanse:
That said, the excessive defensiveness of a lot of treats-havers disturbs me. It really should be possible to tolerate the existence of criticism for things that we otherwise enjoy.
Who was it that proposed the EU keep getting Russian gas but not pay and instead put the money in a fund to help rebuild Ukraine? This. This is the most gobsmackingly arrogant and worm brained thing ever.
That was so warpingly stupid that I actually wondered if I imagined reading that and it wasn't actually written.
I've actually seen libs repeat it on twitter, some of them German so it's not even an exclusively US delusion.
It's not even that, just pure cope. They can't afford to lose gas supply, it would be economically catastrophic. And if they don't pay, what reason is there for Russia to keep supplying? They'll turn off the spigot faster than you can say Putler.
But what if the international courts say Russia can't turn the gas off and has to take 0 payment. What then. Checkmate
What keeps bringing me back to my Tommy Need Drinky moment is whenever Russiagate pops up. Libs are still convinced americans didn't consciously vote for Trump. Even still with 4 years of his administration and six whole years of chuds acting out on camera for the world to see what average americans are like. Nope, Putin put him in the white house. Hillary was the perfect candidate.
That would require liberals to think critically about their ideology
Censoring Trump’s name was pretty funny, calling him 45 or Rump
Not every evil person is Voldemort
Drumpf
Oh fuck how has John Oliver managed to avoid being mentioned in this thread, basically his whole show is this shtick
I still think there's valid reasons to splotch part of a chud magnet's name in case someone very online might get excited and start shit, or if it's going to cause an exhausting struggle session, such as V*ush.
That's what :funny-clown-hammer: is for.
Google alerts are a thing. Of course, anyone with half a brain will go through these thinly-veiled ways to avoid them, but still.
I avoided using Trump's name in 2015-2016, but I'm not going to beat myself up too much over it. My reasoning at the time was that Trump's strategy involved getting people to talk about him, positively or negatively, and by saying "Trump" you were making him a trending term on social media. My calling him "Toupee Hitler" was a way to avoid doing that for Trump. But I stopped doing that after he was elected, because the damage had been done and there wasn't much point anymore.
We were all libs once, we get better. I did the exact same thing till like half way through 2016, then I really fell down the leftist rabbit hole.
Yeah this ruined changing names with "funny" wordplay for me for ever.
inventing a time machine so I can go back and destroy the YA collection at every American library
I dug up my teacher alt just for this. YA gets a bad rap for a lot of reasons, but it’s also the primary means by which a lot of marginalized kids are able to see relatable representation in their schoolwork and in their journeys as readers. Yes, JK Rowling is a TERF and, yes, there was a trend last decade where all the most popular YA dystopian fiction books got made into a bunch of samey-feeling movie franchises. A lot of the hate for those came from a cultural contempt for the preferences of teenage girls, but that’s another thing. The movies were overdone by the end. Having a diverse selection of high-quality literature on display in school libraries has measurable benefits in kids’ self-esteem and desire to read. I have students who had never seen themselves in a book before coming across some relevant YA and coming to me asking for other stuff like it.
I know! Didn't mean to seriously disparage YA, I ate that stuff up as a kid just like everyone else. Just venting my frustration with adults who seem to have built their entire worldview off of it. :sicko-no:
"Just told my 10yo daughter about #RBG. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Ruthkanda forever" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate."
I know you wanted arrogant, pretentious, or smug, but this is an all-timer
"which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate"
That :LIB: shows so much restraint about what they can go bazinga over. :liberalism:
anything matt yglesias says
his twitter bio is pretty cringeWriter and editor, Slow Boring. Senior Fellow, Niskanen Center. Bloomberg columnist. Vaxxed and relaxed. These tweets are worth what you pay for them.
vaxxed and relaxed
my favourite was when he said trump tear gassed the protestors outside of the designated tear gassing hours and thats why it was bad or something along those lines
his pfp is like a fake hexagon nft thing tho and im kinda annoyed cos i thought of doing the same joke but i cant now
Some of the lowest hanging fruit that :LIB: s put out there tend to be twitter bios. There's almost always something especially grating to read like "ironically post-ironic" or "fluent in sarcasm" or "waffle guru" :cringe:
They want to remain cutting edge and relevant among a cringe community.
Trump reply guys
I thought that Jeff Tiedrich guy was some Hollywood lib. Nope, just some obscure blogger that literally became Twitter famous for frothing at the mouth every time Trump posted.
Also Brooklyn Dad (insert adjective here), but that guy is a clear case of DNC astroturf
I’m pretty sure that BrooklynDad(Defiant!) only called himself defiant because he refused to pay alimony to his ex wife lmao
Acting like 1/6 was the most evil thing since 9/11
Hatred. Pure hated. I HATE these types.
CIVILITY was lost that day. The SACRED HALLS were desecrated. :maybe-later-kiddo:
These are the kind of people who think "American Civil Religion" is a good thing.
"American Civil Religion" is the "Cultural Christianity" of the center-right compared to the far(ther) right.
Jeff Tidrich
Brooklyn guy (or whatever)
The krassensteins
That doctor guy
Nah these were Biden/Obama/Hillary libs tweeting snarky replies
“Cheeto Hitler” type stuff
I'm surprised there weren't dedicated ultrachuds at the front of the line.
I mean, bazinga brains camp in front of movie theaters for releases that don't even have full seating, so that's too bad for :trump-anguish:
The only people who weren’t dunking on him were 60 year old women called Betty1284037 saying “thank you mr president”
The majority of online chuds are middle aged or old, and not great with technology
There's a "15 or 50" divide that I've seen among chanlords, some I know offline.
There's this weird leadership caste of divorce dads that feel powerful and visionary by leading around a bunch of impressionable bigoted teenagers.
Weirdly by the end of Trumps term most of 4chan fucking hated him for supporting Israel too much
the 15 year olds are into Nazi shit way more than Trump
:trump-anguish: isn't into anything that isn't about himself. Nazi shit has some overlap but not enough to keep him engaged.
Someone did a "worst tweet of all time" tournament, and there are some real bangers in there
they keep voting the "politically beyond the pale" ones as worse than the "holy cringe" ones.
the tournament has been tainted.
From the guys who... *checks notes* ...are now in power, but armed with left behind US army gear. To replace the US army gear that... a NATO state supplied to them. :jokerfication:
This might be the worst one of all, especially considering the source. :hillary-apartment:
