If we do nothing? We will regret it. I’d love to call in to the show
Yeah, I'm just being squishy and equivocating. Peaceful escalation is the name of the game.
“Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize,” as the meme goes. There is a tendency to defend everything someone like Anglin does or says because of an ostensible framing of satire. But when your publications are a gyre of ironic/non-ironic/meta-ironic/post-ironic content its impossible to differentiate memes from actual opinion- and that’s not the job of the reader. He’s managed to make himself into an irony-poisoned boy-who-cried-wolf analogue and he has himself solely to blame if what was supposed to be taken as satire is not. There’s a tendency in the “wider movement” to be unequivocally opposed to everything that comes out of the mouth of someone who isn’t a complete ideological analogue, which I think is harmful. Case in point, “the left” voices concern about rape or something and we get a (mercifully small) number of people who completely lose it and come up with “white sharia.” If someone with bangs says something about the need for Braille signs you get some autist in the YouTube comment section stating how we need to euthanize blind people or something. It’s the most mindless, miserable thing. “If they’re going to call you a monster might as well be one lmao lol!” is an attitude that has led to nothing but strife and I won’t associate with anyone who thinks along those lines. You shouldn’t either.
the pragerU fallout is wonderful
I wouldn’t call into Moly. Waaay too public
If he’s put on the spot, he’d probably rebuke us
@ophiuchus I'm going to be dense here, is there a particular group/person that post was focused on?
Oh gawd Prager that looks like a Torah, I would hope you're not spreading anti-semetic propaganda
@MrBland - VA no, just my piece on Anglin in general
@NateDahl76 Moly would do his whole "collectivism and identity politics are bad like Communism" bit.
the youtube comments are awesome, but ofc the facebook boomerposts consist of "God blesses those who bless israel" 😒
screw our own nation and children, am i right?
I think that Alex Jones might actually be far more effective purely as a meme, while being unable to actually relay his "politics" to a large audience.
Everyone I know routinely says “globalist” now due to Alex Jone’s memeing
Of course it’s just in the sense of like “GLOBALIST PUBLIX IS OUT OF PASTA SAUCE” but still, meme’s out there now
Thanks for putting my registry in the announcements 😃
Yeah, hockey pucks will definitely work
Better than pencils but not as good as BJJ
@Bjorn - MD it's knuckle puck time
Wasn't there a school that wanted to arm faculty with rocks at one point?
“Hit a bowl cut with a rock”
Just stop letting kids by with a warning for crimes. The past like 5 shooters had mile long rap sheets they never got actually written up on so they were able to buy not safe things that shoot small metal things
That and being put on amphetamines from a young age.
yeah my sister's kids , all three of them, are on ADHD meds
Pretty sure they just act crazy because she doesn't and can't give them enough attention, being a single mom
Lol
All of those reasons tbh. Plus diversity
There is this 15 year old kid at my bjj place that is always on those things. I call him the Rittalin Ranger. Good kid but he looks like he is 12. There was a period this summer when he was off the meds and was okay.
it's mostly boys on adhd meds because they aren't meant to sit at desks 8hrs a day
Hey, it's Dec 3. Where the **HECK** is our Christmas spirit??
the educational system is catered toward the female mind and processing of information
What is BJJ? No bully if obvious
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
