...but that doesn't mean that modern civilization is over. We live in a time when information is more easily available to younger people than ever before and it's getting harder for the GOP to simply lie to everyone...

I realize this may be the wrong thread for it, but I've been feeling otherwise for a while now, thanks primarily to the right-wing messaging machine regarding climate change. Doesn't matter if they can't lie anymore, we're kinda sorta completely hosed anyhow.

I'm not surprised they think those two idiots would make a good president, but still, at least one Freeper shares their interests with me, and that makes me... confused at best and concerned at worst.

One of the things that depresses me about reading this thread is that I sort of feel the same way, but I'm a liberal. IE: Instead of feeling like food stamps will destroy the country and make the poor into useless people who suck up ARE TAX MONEY, I feel that food stamp cuts will inevitably hurt a lot more people than it will help, and the people in power aren't affected so they don't care.

I mean, I think that I'm right about that. I've read science-things that say I'm right about that, but does that mean I am right? And even if I am, does it matter?

I think I need a break from politics for a while.

The vehicle is called Orion. You know what the names of the stars in the orion belt are? Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Yup, Arabic MUSLIM names :smuggo:

This is a little off-topic, but I keep reading the name of that new vehicle to mean this Orion and then I remember that we're incredibly boring when it comes to spaceflight and that also I'm insane for thinking using nukes to reach orbit is safe.

On a slightly related note, you think Freep would support the other Orion?

I tried interacting with a couple of gamergaters on Twitter. It's a real hive of self-reinforcing stupidity that, at the end of the day, attempts to justify what some lady journo's ex-bf's attempts to use the 4chan/8chan anon collective as his personal army. Oh, and they're really, REALLY upset about being told women are actually people and not T&A art.

Gamergate is like Freep, except they actually try to hurt people. Also, I think "Your statement of “larger part of society” and “no man is an island” smacks of socialism." should be the new thread title.

Just like they insist banning anyone from bringing Crosses and Bibles from anyplace on school grounds. Erase all our founding fathers from our history books. Cower, surrender, and grovel before your fascist masters.

Americans have become spineless wimps. A total disgrace to all our ancestors who built this nation. It’s become impossible to have anything but disgust and contempt for this entire generation of Americans.

It's not freep that's bothering me, freep is your problem and they are a tiny minority. What's loving me is that from today onward I know that whoever I talk to on the street, at the grocery store, even some of my friends and family most likely, most of them are human garbage that isn't worth the air they breathe. I keep looking at those pictures and reading the comments below and I just wish I could kill them all. A loving toddler man, they look at the picture of this little boy and say "good"! gently caress me. gently caress everyone of us. I wish I could go for a drink cause I really need it. God drat this loving country. :cry:

Again, something that's easy to forget is that most people are half decent. Freep and it's ilk are a minority. Does that mean that most people agree with you? gently caress no. Of course not. But they at least think that their beliefs will help people, and will try to help people who need their help.

yeah right-wing political beliefs (even social conservative ones rather than just garden variety FYGM) are way more common in the trans community than you'd think. Usually they come from people whose transitions were done on easymode due to stacks of money, transitioning really young, supportive family/work/social environment, or all of the above.

Wait, so you're telling me that not oppressing trans people makes them conservative?

I am going to oppress the gently caress out of trans people.

For all that Freep likes to fantasize about Civil War 2, isn't the chance of this happening effectively zero? I mean, wouldn't the national guard/local law enforcement put down any type of armed insurrection before it even got any legs? I read the 10 year Civil War timeline thing earlier, and I just can't see how something like this could ever come to fruition.

If I recall correctly, their CWII fantasy involves large portions of the US military suddenly deciding to disobey orders and join the rebellion all at once, so... No, that's not likely to happen

Really? Looking through that thread (which is a mistake by the way, don't do it) gives me the idea that they all just want this to go away, and that this is some sort of media ploy to bring African American support back to Hillary Clinton.

I guess I still have to wait for Nov. 8 to drink Freeper tears.
