Thanks but I don't particularly care to enlighten you :)

@Penny

Truthfully I did not expect any.

Great! Glad I could meet your expectations :)

When you don't read any evidence or make any arguments and you spent the first half of the thread arguing that you were a brainslave but you still manage to condescend.

@mdk

Am. The nature of the universe has not changed. I can no more help my condescension than you can help triggering it.

[POOHEAD189]

I have seen many videos of that for either party or ideology @mdk. It's true a lot of people, liberal or conservative go with the party regardless of policies. It's why I am independent. Though they can be entertaining to see the reactions.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity@mdk I'm curious on what you guys think of George Bush's remarks on bigotry. He never said Trump, but what is your thoughts on that? Andy too, if he's around.

@POOHEAD189

His remarks on bigotry are fine. W always struck me as a leader and a man of strong moral character. I think he's missing the forest for the ugly trees, a bit, though -- hell we're all doing that. The whole racial-nativism business, like, I get it -- it's a thing, it exists, it's bad. I don't buy that it's anywhere near as prevalent as they're trying to make it sound. I'm on T_D nearly every day, and I just plain don't see it. We fucking love legal immigrants of every background. We want that. When people get up on stage and lecture "not necessarily Trump" and "not necessarily Trump supporters" about shit we don't even believe, and everyone else starts eating it up like the cure for cancer, it's easy to feel like we're being treated a little unfair. I don't think that's gonna bridge any divides.

Anywho.

I don't think there's anything wrong with putting our own interests first in any arena of any kind. I think he's wrong on globalism, I think Obama's wrong on globalism, and I think our debt growth under those two would back me up. I think it's ridiculous that $100k of Russian facebook ads are being blamed for the hostility of a $5billion collective campaign of hatred -- it's a pathetic excuse for a scapegoat so that we can conveniently ignore our own lack of respect for one another and I resent the establishment (right and left, mostly left and RINOs) for pushing it to exempt themselves from guilt. I think Bush (ironically, as a pretty liberal spender) is now singing the right tune on the private sector, and that's working out pretty well.

And FWIW, I think it's absolutely hilarious that Donald Trump's power level is so high that he's got leftist propaganda outlets singing praises to George W. Bush.

That's.... generally my response to all that. Was there anything in particular you were interested in discussing?

[POOHEAD189]

Just wondering how you felt on it is all. I like George W. as well.

With American politics growing hard to satirize, I applaud the heroic work of the Onion's writers.

[mdk]

overly dramatic NRA, anyone?

Even I find this one off-putting

[Andreyich]

While I am a right wing edgelord I'm not that big of a Trumpster, I only find his generalities to be worthy; the general populism, anti-establishment, anti-migration, etc. I can't really care for a lot of specific instances of his actions/policy however, sinceI'm a fan of a lot of lite-socialist ideas i.e. state Healthcare, government funded education, etc., so I'm not going to really try to defend really specific instances of his actions, or try to go against more detailed criticism of him like hardcore fappers to the God-Emperor like mdk and harbinger.

Of course, this is all if I'm 'Andy.'

[POOHEAD189]

Of course, this is all if I'm 'Andy.'

@Andreyich

Yup, that's you. Thnx bby

[mdk]

How bout that WHO?

[mdk]

feminism rising to dangerous levels

[Penny]

@mdk Yes, the problem with society is there is too much feminism.

I didn't realize being thin was helping support the patriarchy though :P

[Andreyich]

feminism rising to dangerous levels

@mdk

I don't see what's wrong with this. Fatties won't reproduce, so you weed out the ess-jay-dubyas. natural selection at work.

[mdk]

@mdk Yes, the problem with society is there is too much feminism.

@Penny

When you're so feminist that the existence of thin people harms you, that's a problem. For the person in question, I mean -- I don't think society really cares. But that kinda shit ain't healthy.

[Penny]

Asking people to be stop being slim because you are overweight is like asking people to stop being smart because you are an idiot.

It isn't feminism its just stupidity no matter what hashtag you want to slap on it.

[POOHEAD189]

@mdk Feminism is just the advocacy for equality between the sexes.

I will say the recent feminist movement has drawn a lot of people who just feel entitled to express opinions they shouldn't, like what you posted. But it's the same as Trumpism drawing Nazi supporters. I'm a feminist, because I simply believe women should have equal opportunities and rights to what men get.

P.S. Also as someone who trains and diets, that pic has me #triggered.
