I guess it’s probably important to point out though that the ultraviolence against women in the incel community is new as far as I know, probably because they weren’t able to communicate in such closed and broad reaching communities before the internet.

I also enjoy getting degenerately drunk. Have fun bro.

You. Is he bad at what he did? Because it seems like it went well for him all things considered. Which is sad. Dude should be in jail for much longer.

Depending on the country and time there’s been many different names for it. “Blackshirts.” “Brownshirts.” Generally all the different words for social conservative in the US. But it’s always men that are insecure with their own masculinity, and generally just suck ass and blame their problems on social movements. Right wing pundits have an easy time getting these men onto their side. It’s easier to blame society for your problems than it is to work on yourself. Women having jobs and playing video games is why you aren’t sexually successful or successful at your job, and that’s because leftists hate men and masculinity. Even though that isn’t true fascists have a very easy time convincing these men that it is, because they’re really fucking stupid. But a stupid warm body gets the same amount of votes as a smart warm body, and it’s a great strategy if you’re willing to be super disingenuous with your message. I think it’s probably why hard leftists tend to be fighting these electoral battles with a huge handicap, because Liberals and everyone to the right of them don’t seem to have these moral quandaries, at least as far as American leftists go. But I’m biased as fuck so that could just be my delusional opinion on that.

Yeah. These people aren’t new though. Pushback to progress from reactionaries that are insecure with their own masculinity is well documented over the last century-ish. Possibly longer but I’ve only read about such a thing since the end of world war 2.

Is he? I just feel like four months for attempting to overthrow the US government violently is low.

They were like that before. Steve Bannon just realized he could use that shitty behaviour for political ends. Those guys don’t suck because of Steve Bannon, Bannon targeted them because they suck.

Nah, selling out your country because you can’t get a date and video games aren’t sexy is weak behaviour by weak minded people and I’m not going to pretend it isn’t.

Steve Bannon weaponizing weak men and video game incels for fascism is such a wild story I can’t believe it even happened.

Yeah this is kind of the answer I was looking for. I didn’t really ask the question properly tho. Thanks.

I’ve never understood the whole Puerto Rico situation. Your country was built on the rage of having taxation without representation. Why is it that Puerto Rico isn’t allowed to participate in your elections despite being US citizens?

Man the USA sounds like it’s just three corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a country.

This isn’t getting pulled over, this is multimillion dollar election interference, and a knowing attempt to violate or circumvent laws. Kinda fucking different.

I don’t know, I reread it and that quote on the plate sounds pretty sarcastic to me. “To loot, urinate, and defecate through these hallowed halls to overturn an election” sounds more like a dig than actual reverence to me.

They aren’t honouring them. It’s literally a giant turd to make fun of them. That’s the whole joke.

That’s… sad and disturbing.

AND YA BETTER NOT DO IT AGAIN OR ILL GET REEEAAAL GRUMPY!

The American Justice system is so embarrassingly lenient to the rich. How are you guys not rioting every single day?

I mean I have the Facebook post with the clip that we all posted and talked about that shows up in our Facebook memories every year. The clip has been removed from YouTube though, and the debunking sites all seem to reference some article that has nothing to do with the clip. I wish I had downloaded the video, but I had no idea it was going to get so thoroughly scrubbed, or even that it COULD be. The replies and comments on our Facebook all talk about the quote directly.

Ugh, I’m having flashbacks of when Trump was on Oprah and he said if he was gonna run for president he would run as a Republican because their voters are the dumbest ones. That shit got wiped from the internet and Trump supporters claim it’s the Mandela effect.

My one right wing friend tried to claim that too, and me and my other two buddies were like “dude you watched it WITH us.” He even made a Facebook status about it after we watched it. We are reminded of it every year in our Facebook memories. And he STILL claims it never existed.

Deepfakes would be the best thing that ever happened to trump. He could say the most heinous, ridiculous shit on tape and his supporters can just deny it as a deepfake.
