i need more coffee

well flourence was a dud around here, the coast did get a ton of water but that is to be expected

have had worse rain storms than what we got last night

IT KEEPS HAPPENING
https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1040778349172404224

Are they serious ???

reposition assets..... you mean we asked a few rednecks to hurry their asses on over and pull those people out

again... the people on the coast that do this every storm

no no you're missing it

probably so

look at the hand of the second guy from the left

story of my life there

let me look

I actually didnt notice that sign at first lol

"US Coast Guard on hand gesture seen used by a support staff member"

i didnt ntoice that at first

Its soo dumb

They fired a guy from the hurricane response for making the OK sign.

i see it now

Hahaha, the lefties are losing their goddamn minds!

ok.... well.... i mean.... if this has really become that symbol everyone is freaking out over (ya thanks for that 4chan lol)

i would have to say

that one looked deliberate

This is how PC dies.

because i have done similar motions with my hand a million times, and my hand didnt just ever make the ok sign lol

im just sayin

its not a natual sort of movement that you just natually move to

i just hate to think that this is where we are at

lol

Lefty pattern-recognition skills aren't so natural, either.

ya now i wont disagree there

if i hear the term dog whiste one more friggin time

It's pretty obvious that the left is in a moral panic.

cant remember a time in my life hearing this crap sooooo frequently

they want to keep hearing/seeing dog whistles, makes me start to wonder who the dogs really are

how are they hearing said whistles so often

i dont hear that shit

It's hysteria.

never considered myself one to hear secret messages, but man, its just getting stupid

i dont disagree that a lot of them have just outright lost their minds

The guy was trolling them and they went crazy over it

thats what i consider to be more likely yes

well he might get a DD for his troubles, so it's not exactly a win. he'll have a hard time holding a fry cook job.

but to be fair..... it would be nice if we could have one week without something like this popping up these days

A DD for what?

my point there, can we get a tiny break from trolling.... like just a small one...

so is there a story that this guy actually got fired?

i didnt go looking

oh ya

that was the story lol

He was reassigned or something.

my bad

tfw i can't tell which responses to that tweet are sarcasm and which aren't

;~;

ya removing someone from their job becasue of a percieved something is starting to really get to me

ya these days its really hard to tell who is serious and who is just trolling lol

The replies by people who think they're completely surrounded by crypto-klansmen are pretty funny in their own way.

half the people out there just want to watch peoples heads explode, the other half are really letting themselves get upset over this crap

i guess there is a small portion of us that are just in shock that we finally got here lol

If it's impossible to discuss politics with these lefty cultists then you might as well troll them.

im of a half a mind about that to be honest

after a while it just looses its fun because they are just so batshit crazy that seriously... whats the point

i guess it can be quality edutainment to a degree

i dunno, just seems like there has to be a better option at this point

There's edutainment in finding out how far you can push them before they self-immolate.

i sort of get that, but as a person that really doesnt enjoy random violence on a daily basis i am getting to the point where i think another option has to be found to bring sanity back

i was with the troll the left to watch their heads pop camp for a long time, but man the insanity is getting out of hand

looking for random hand gestures in disaster videos, i think that just collectively all brought us down a notch lol

I'd say the Coast Guard's reaction brought us all down.

like ok, there are a few more IQ point lost to time

i wont disagree there dev

we do need someone big

to start to stand up to the mob

someone with a bigger name than all of us

unfortunately im not so sure the proper person exists at the moment

almost everyone i would like to think of, is already too divisive

i'm not confident you'll find such a hero. even big name people who i thought were untouchable are being brought down by SJW outrage.

Yeah.

Denzel Washington is one of the few who I've been able to depend on NOT to.

It's amazing how short the short list really is.

People are pathetic.

you arent wrong @Atkins

People aren't learning how to fight the diversity industry.

I'm not wrong either, so throw me a ping ya peesa gawbage.

i agree @Scribblehatch denzel and freeman

Nah Freeman didn't do so well.

everyone that tries just gets dismissed

He defended Obama with the race card.

Oh hey, I was reading up the OK Symbol thing and apparently Tim made the Know Your Meme page for "OK Symbol", gratz dude

That's one for the CV right there

I do like that one clip I know you're thinking about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeixtYS-P3s

Yeah, Tim was laughing at this a-ok meme a long time ago.

Literally though it's been the okay symbol since like forever

yep

No but even Buzzfeed knows it's not ACTUALLY a hate symbol

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/the-trump-internet-keeps-making-fake-hate-symbols-and#.ccoW6lgEG

the narrative now is "it wasn't a hate symbol but it is now"

oh ffs now the peace sign too?

i.e., the joke that we fell for was a joke, but now it's real.

im sure im just late to the table on this

Nah Buzzfeed is commenting on hoaxes

It's hilarious because that means people are sub-Buzzfeed SJW

Which is like, something I never considered

lol

scotch korean

https://i.redd.it/ihnwkh7w5muy.jpg

WAIT

It's F?

It all makes sense now

It *is* a racist symbol

F stands for Fascist

Alright everyone show's over, go home

We lost

Press F for the sanity of the left.

You can clearly see this is meant to simulate anal penetration

LOL dev

That's because OP's a fag

a b c d e f lol

the levels of insanity are high

but you make a good point

so everytime someone does sign language

are they making a whistle too?

It's everywhere!

EVERYWHERE

WAIT A SECOND

NoooOOOOOOOOOOoo

Does this mean Black Power is S for Socialism?

IT'S ALL AROUND ME

OOO Cipher

tough questions

ANTIFA are a mostly-white black organisation after all

lol

that distinction always makes me laugh

like the old black white supremecist from chapelle show

the world is def broken when you make chapelle hang up his mic and say, screw this im out, i tried but im out

i probably could have dealt with all the crap in the world if they didnt start comming for commedy

Like, the dumb thing is they're taking away the ways people would vent

Which makes them angrier

yep, no arguements there

sjw destoryed every hobbie i loved in the last 4 years or so

just took a big ol dump on all of it

I'm already convinced that the left's deplatforming tactic will eventually cause violence.

i dunno, i am sort of hoping they will eat enough of their own to finally stop and be like... what are we doing

a similar thing happened with the censorship stuff in the 90s if you ask me

the group think is pretty hard to overcome when you have thousands of people screaming in your face to follow the herd

or calling you racist or some other cist to scare you into snapping in line

Deplatforming will definitely lead to violence

i think it will depend on how bad it gets before it calms down

Intersectionality is destroying the left gradually though, tons of white female SJWs I know are starting to revolt slightly

while i dont agree with what happened to Jones

i dont reeally want to go punch anyone over it

they've already destroyed many comedians or otherwise forced them into hiding.

some comedians were smart enough to see what was coming and just stopped working.

so tell me this, which person being deplatformed would push you into the breach locked and loaded

i am not so sure i have anyone i give that much of a shit about to be honest lol

Same

I gave up on musicians speaking out about issues

The left seems to be following the science of cult influence/compliance to a T.

Everyone's either a pussy or a radical left idiot themselves

well sure, they wrote the book dev

so they know whats on every page already

Like, when I immediately think of rock bands who speak out about stuff, I think of the Sex Pistols, Flobots and Rage Against The Machine

the problem with deplatforming of the right, is no one really gives enough about whats happening over there to really do anything about it. i cant say i really agree with the craziest of stuff, so do i want to go fight over it,... not really... which in the end is already a loss

Whelp, it's official, people are getting fired for ok signs.

the deplatforming wave is going to presage legislation regulating speech content. that's definitely a red line for me.

I'm willing to give up a platform when it crosses a line for me. I think I told Tim in here that I quit Patreon completely after it banned Faith Goldy.

Sex Pistols are relics and Johnny Rotten has become tame and out-of-touch, Flobots are relatively chill but have no real audience, and Rage are socialists who helped fund a south american revolutionary group or something

the biggest problem with an "internet bill of rights"

is that it will be called that

but thats not what will likely be in the bill

and everyone will just read the title and be like... sure why not

Yeah Zach De La Rocha made donations to the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, who are a socialist revolt in the south of Mexico

but in there will be the real censorship they have been trying to enact all along

and everyone will have just fell for it

every potential legislative fix can easily go completely wrong.

but the status quo is also pretty fucking awful.

As long as we can create alternative platforms with no SJW influence we have an out that'll head off violence.

i don't think it's only about having echo chamber nobody cares about :^)

man i just got a picture in my heads of the DSA siexing Twitter and claiming they were siezing the means of production in the process lol

lol

It's about not having an echo chamber at all.

maybe the 'blue wave' doesn't happen, the SJWs tucker themselves out, and everything returns to some semblance of normalcy.
but maybe the democrats take congress, impeach drumpf, and go completely balls-to-the-wall on corporate censorship.

everything is a gamble.

It's ultimately the platform rules that make it an echo chamber or not.

to a degree, but the voices on the platform also do the esecho themselv

echo themselves

well no

gab doesn't have rules making it an echo chamber but it is

ditto with bitchute

and thats my point exactly

Well if we're going down, I'm going down kicking. If the UK keep going in the authoritarian direction they're going you'd best believe I'll be outspoken

the rules didnt have to make it one

the people did that to themselves

The best case for the Dems in 2018 is retaking the House and then shutting it down completely, because they won't retake the Senate.

these platforms are boring not because of their rules but because the are echo chambers. they are failures because they're not entertaining.

its just one of the many natures of us fun people

we are gonna want to hear what we wanna hear

Social media has become "advertising myself"

Ego strokes

They're not social

always was cipher

@devpav i'm fearful that the democrats are just going to start ignoring the proper channels of government altogether.

from day 0

they've spent the last two years delegitimizing them.

What makes you think they can get away with that?

from the moment zuck has the idea

because they already did

thats what

they'll have full unquestioned control of the media.

That was under the Obama regime.

and no fear about extrajudicial action.

that was way before obama

How much power does the media have right now?

thats the real question here

they just got some poor schmuck helping with hurricane cleanup fired

how much power are we really giving the media

for MOVING HIS FINGERS WRONG

Strong but dying.

Like a star.

That's a nice way of putting it Scrib

I do believe we're gonna bypass a lot of the mainstream media though

how?

It was bypassed in 2016.

Uh, duh.

Internet.

on those social media platforms that they control?

I see a huge resurgence of the underground music scene, in music terms

And new social media platforms

Do they control Discord?

Nigga social media is dying too.

agreed scrib

@zutt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOd_aVQzfoM

It's not dying as quickly as MSM

But everyone is fleeing Facebook.

It's not having its neck snapped, it's bleeding out

they do have power here. Tim himself said this server is being monitored by Antifa for people to dox.

I keep hearing that Facebook is sinking.

"power"

It's only power if they have people to tattle to, who give a shit.

This is why it's bad to have WEAK FRIENDS.

They become liability in your life.

is that mr mektor vid forreal?

and they do have people to tattle to. i.e., the media and government

"I-I dunno dude. I think I should steer directly into this brick wall like the gypsy told me to!!!"

who just got some random dude fired for moving his fingers wrong

Everyone you're talking about, they're ON THE WAY OUT

we'll see in november.

ya, @Atkins that part blows my minf

Have some patience. Goddamn.

Oh fuck you.
