    Leftists really should embrace monster trucks. I've been saying this for awhile.

    I once had this idea to crowd source buying this giant Lenin head and mounting it to a monster truck frame:

    Would be even cooler if you added custom laser eyes and flames shooting out of his nose or something.

    Eh, it's all aesthetics.

    "Slamming a cold one into the capital", monster trucks, and the "dudes will see this image and say hell yeah" type of dudebro humor is really just one degree away from early 2000's "epic bacon" style comedy. If you're guy and don't like these things, you pretty much just politely get told you're gay because even innocuous forms of masculinity demand compliance.

    On the other hand, calling it "redneck shit" is just naked classism. While I also don't find a truck with big wheels to be rad, arguing about it is just a platform to be condescending.

    I don't even know why I wrote this out. I was gonna stop reading after I saw "look, he's probably fascist, BUT..."

      In my personal experience, at least some of the performative masculinity dude bros are actually pretty okay because they just want people to have fun and they cant conceive that people have fun in ways different to theirs.

      On the other hand, fun police libs almost always come from a place of wanting to wield a modicum of perceived power over others and are fucking insufferable to be around.

    In my communist utopia, the only cars that still exist outside of necessary work functions are monster trucks. If I can't watch truckasaurus eat a smaller car, what's even the point?

    I hate how libs dismiss so many people as white trash or redneck or whatever. A lot of those people are reactionary, but it's just classist to assume they are all idiots beyond redemption (actually libs).

    Maybe it bugs me so much because my family is basically all redneck. I swear libs would try to classify rednecks as a separate inferior subrace if they could, like they do with slavs.

      Compare liberal hatred for poor Republicans to wealthy Republicans. It's clearly classism. Flimsy support for pseudo-progressive causes is just what they use to convince themselves of their superiority over the poors.

      Lots of shit rednecks do isn’t reactionary inherently but is actually fun as hell, and liberals just have a cultural and class aversion to it. Guns, horses, getting drunk at a trashy party, farming - there’s nothing inherently rightwing about any of that but Liberals certainly act like there is

      They must have been really bad, because in my experience most instances don't care about banning transphobes. Not a shocker that he's still posting on .world, because they definitely don't care over there.

      Old lady neighbor got free Monster Jam tickets and gave them to my family when I was a second grader. One of the best memories I have from my childhood. I was obsessed with the Yankees, but Monster Jam was way better than watching the Yankees play

      I went to a demolition derby with my dad once, I came home smelling of beer cuz some drunk guy in a track suit carrying a 4 cup carrier spilled half a print of Miller on me. Great time!

      Also why isn't Figure 8 racing more popular?

    I hate normal daily car commuters much more than I hate midnight street racers. Monster trucks very rarely kill pedestrians.

    The only fun you're allowed to have under liberalism is going to see Hamilton and then having brunch after!

      Even Liberal entertainment is becoming much less fun. The point of Hamilton isn’t sincere enjoyment but a sort of self-flagellation and moralizing didactic lesson telling hour. It’s a Liberal ritual to rekindle the Civic Religion in their hearts with a new “cool” version of the founding slavers

    Fireball is the most basic white girl alcohol possible. You want to impress me? Slam gin, tequila, or absinthe in a federal office. If not for how much sugar's ramrodded into that synthetic cinnamon 'whiskey' shit, I could replace my water canteen with it.

      My monkey brain gets happy when I throw shit and hit something, and gets excited at loud noises. There is simply a best way to throw shit and hit stuff far away, and get a nice loud noise to go along with it. gun-unity
