You know you're cooked when Bill Kristol is going around like, "Hey, shouldn't you be running a more progressive campaign to turn out more voters?"

I actually took a page straight from your book just now o7
There are three types of takes out in the trenches. Standard "tankie" takes, standard "vote blue no matter who" shitlib takes, and bizarre, idiosyncratic takes that exactly one person on earth believes, but which they'll treat as the most obvious thing in the world.
Most recently, I was informed that Marxism is not worth studying on the basis that Marx culturally appropriated communism from indigenous Australians. PugJesus, one of the most prolific shitlib posters, has some great material on Marxism too.
The bizarre, ideosyncratic takes always seem to circle back around to, "And that's why you should vote blue no matter who, also China and Russia are committing genocide," but they spice things up and you get to play this fun little game of trying to decipher the brainworms while they yell at you.
Getting banned because a .world mod lost an argument to you gang
I've pretty much given up on trying to argue with them. I got ratio'd hard for saying that Biden pulling out of Afghanistan was good, actually. If they can't even bring themselves to accept such a stance when it would benefit them because the news said it was bad, then I think it's just completely impossible to find traction. They neither have any sort of skepticism towards the media nor any problem with any war ever. These people belong on r/neoliberal.
They're straight up obsessed with it too. Like the post I was commenting on had nothing to do with it and my comments had nothing to do with it, and then someone brought it up and attacked me with it, and when I defended myself I got banned.
They really, really need the Uyghur genocide narrative to be true because it's the only way for them to excuse their support for the Palestinian genocide, and because screeching "Genocide denier!" is literally their only defense against us "tankies." It doesn't even make sense when they're all openly genocide supporters regarding a genocide that's actually real, but it is what it is.
I’m a staunch pacifist and also 100% behind helping Ukraine.
Co-opting of pacifism is peak liberalism, it's such a blatant example of liberals trying to paint themselves as "peace-loving" while being imperialists and accepting none of the flak that actual pacifists receive, and even readily engaging in that flak. "Oh, but I only support defensive wars," motherfucker, it's called the "department of defense" because every fucking side in every fucking war post-Ghengis Khan always frames themselves as "defending." If you accept that you can still be a pacifist while saying war is acceptable if you believe it furthers the aim of peace, then you could be a full blown neocon and still call yourself a pacifist.
Actual pacifists may be cranks, but I have some respect for them for having actual principles that they will stand by even if it means incurring a personal cost. Liberals want to steal valor(?) for their own self-aggrandizement while believing in nothing and sacrificing nothing. And that's not even getting into, "I'm a pacifist, so I just got out of the situation and called the cops."
Omg guys I just got this idea for a prank it would be so funny I'd like trans my gender and get breast implants and like wax my legs and stuff and I would become like, really slender and petite and I'd go to like a motorcycle rally with all these big burly guys and they'd all start coming on to me because I'd be so attractive and feminine and everybody would think I'm a hot girl but then I'd be like, "Surprise!" in a really deep voice and they'd all get really mad and beat me up and it would be sooo funny right guys?
Guys?
Like, what makes it funny is that I'm not trans (obviously), but like, hypothetically I bet I could pass if I got some surgeries done, don't you think? By the way, I was thinking about what name I should use for this prank, if I give you my top five do you think you could help me narrow it down?
Imagine only knowing (incorrect stuff) about two things, and you can't even spell one of them.
I saw it in my college theater around when it came out. There were a couple scary parts at the end (enough to cut for the trailer), but for most of the movie I was just super bored.
Personally I've gotta go with Paranormal Activity. So much of the movie is literally just watching people do normal day-to-day stuff, which is supposed to "build suspense," but I just found it incredibly boring. Nothing happens at all for literally half the movie. The plot is the same unimaginative slop of haunted house evil ghost of every generic horror movie of that era. I also hate the whole, "found footage" shakeycam stuff because to me it completely breaks immersion and suspension of disbelief. Does that do it for people who actually believe in ghosts or something?
There's literally not a single interesting thing about the movie, and not even anything fun to critique or make fun of, it's just boring. If you're thinking about watching this movie, instead, go out and watch an empty pool for an hour, then watch the trailer, and you'll have seen everything that the movie has to offer.
I hate this fucking country.
I made this alt account for the sake of wider federation but I'm regretting it.
We're very grateful for that, but we're also going to have to bring you in for reeducation and Clockwork Orange you with cooking shows until you can only make pancakes through mundane processes. I'll talk to my superiors though and see if they can throw in like a $20 gift card for the whole wizard murdering thing.
It also led me to discover the cognitohazard of Polcompball Wiki.
I never thought I would see Posadism on a list and think, "Oh finally, a real ideology."
I try not to be but sometimes I can't help myself.
But I've been repeatedly informed that the democrats are secretly pro-Palestine and were only pretending to support Israel to win over Zionist voters. Now that Biden has nothing to lose, why isn't he doing anything? Could it be that all those people were full of shit?
