Sorry for posting something from last year but I just stumbled upon it and it's just too chefs-kiss not to share, made me laugh multiple times.

    "My side of history is american men and women disabled by an IED"

    Wonder why they were where IEDs were an issue. Wonder if they got all the support they needed when they came back.

    Weird thing to be proud of.

      Americans are a weird breed. They openly acknowledge and lament about how their boys in green are blown up or have voices in their minds after coming back from war and getting no help. Then they sign up their children and their children’s children into the military and voluntarily continue the tradition of getting blown up without any help.

      It’s also funny he ridicules anxiety. How much you wanna bet he complains about veterans getting PTSD? “Ummm just grow some balls tough guy. They’re just fireworks you snowflake!”

      They're real proud of getting owned in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

    How the fuck are you both condemning draft dodging, and celebrating Monet, a draft-dodger? I know there are more egregious ones, but this one is just utterly baffling.

    I like how instead of just saying Mao himself, he mentions his book instead

    I think my favorite part is the attributing of Jefferson Davis to the Dems as some gotcha but also putting a bunch of slave owners on “his side.” And “Tories who fled to Canada”? What? Both of those comedians endorsed Biden to boot. This is pure ass, vibes-based, “everything that makes me feel fuzzy must be on my side” juvenile thinking.

    Liberals are apparently both communists and liberals at the same time according to the hog flavour of liberal.

    Western politics is just pure brainworms, no thoughts, just pure vibes and rage programmed into them by the mass media.

      Just like how Americans have accidentally convinced themselves that the propaganda of the USSR being only Russian is true, the liberals have accidentally convinced themselves that the propaganda of them being leftist and socialists is true - they keep calling themselves socialist and citing Sweden or Canada or Denmark as examples of socialist states lol

      It makes more sense when you consider that one of the core issues this guy's audience has is never hearing back from your children when you invite them to barbecue.

    My side of history is William F. Buckley ... Martin Luther King

    In the 1950s and early 1960s, Buckley opposed federal civil rights legislation and expressed support for continued racial segregation in the South
    (...)
    Buckley visited South Africa in the 1960s on several paid fact-finding missions in which he distributed publications that supported the South African government's policy of apartheid.

      Conservatives have to force themselves to pretend to like MLK because he’s a universal American hero and they cannot directly say they opposed his beliefs. But other conservatives may literally only grew up learning about his “I have a dream speech,” and only care about the whole “judging by one’s character” line and nothing more. I think he was also a republican, so they have no choice but to say they like him as well as Lincoln because they want to monopolize the “anti racism” discussion

      He is quite literally their one black friend that they always bring up unprompted to excuse their racist behavior

    How can conservatives claim half of that stuff?

      To most of the country. Conservatism just means goodism and leftism just means badism.

    When conservatives say they "hate something" what they mean is that they hate when other people get it. They want to be the only ones allowed to do this stuff.

      honestly it's a solid post concept, say every good thing is because of your beliefs and every bad thing is because of the other guy's beliefs. tried and true formula. if he had only only edited it to maybe a third of the length, dropping the weaker lines and improving the pacing, this could have been some effective slam poetry for idiots. unfortunately it's too apparent that he overcommitted to the first draft.

        communism's achievements:

        peace, medicine, vaccines, warm weather, the human emotion of joy, dogs, cats, ducks, pre-enshittified internet, gps

        capitalism's achievements:

        death, hunger, pestilence, disease, famine, sadness, anxiety, crumbs in your bed, whatever the fuck sleet is (seriously that's the worst weather), people who put no seasoning on their eggs

        see? we win.

        It'd be much better and more coherent without the ”soy latte, so much gender, safe spaces” cliches, but they just have to pander to the audience that thinks this is peak humor.
