If they’re dumb enough to still believe “participating” in in American politics let them cry in pain. They have it coming.

Engels already told us what “people” like Hasan were in 1892. They speculate on the discontent of the lower classes in order to sell them out to one of the big parties afterward.

You can not “redeem” yourself as a military service person unless you relentlessly hammer home that it was wrong, that you regret being in it, and that you condemn it.

You’re still giving them too much room. There can be no forgiveness. Ideally we’d defund the VA and let the problem sort itself out but that won’t happen. You will never get the average American to stand against the military because military atrocities are what gets them their treats.

therefore even if he weren’t such a piece of shit

There is no such thing as a non-POS Democrat.

The Twinkie bankruptcy and disappearance in 2012, or rather the reaction to it, was the first thing to make me truly disgusted with the Americans around me. Even as a child before all that I found Twinkies repulsive. Unpleasant and unnatural oblong things that left a thin film on your mouth and made it feel like there was sand between your teeth. And here they were, supposed sentient beings, melting down over that no longer being available. Coming to find out what led to it didn’t help matters. They blamed the loss of their disgusting treats on striking workers who couldn’t afford to live instead of the head fuckers who would rather sink their company into nothingness than pay a few bucks more per hour. The commodity possessed a greater claim on their sympathy than the labor that produced it. But no, Glenda from South Carolina just NEEDED her slop stick. Such glorious Christian love, damning your fellow man for preventing you from consooming truckloads of sugar paste in a sugar tube. If there is a higher power then the Twinkie is mankind’s throwing the largest middle finger of all time. It is capitalism.

This should not be shocking to anyone.

I can’t in good conscience root for my country

One would hope this is a long term blanket position of yours and not just due to recent events.

I don’t know how to tell you this but the Gay Frenchman game was not entirely honest with you and it is very easy to have principled Communist stances and a distaste for that which goes against them while still being a functional member of society. You can Be Leftist while still Being Normal.

It takes extreme restraint seeing this to not launch into a rant about “useless eaters”. On the one hand it’s fascist eugenics language designed to dehumanize people with disabilities. On the other hand how else is one meant to describe a selfish 90 year old decrying the one measly avenue they still have to contribute to society because they don’t directly benefit from it.

Yes because I see through the fascist Ubermenschen show I must be a joyless friendless loser.

This was one of my big gripes with Disco Elysium. The ending was just “I have depicted myself as the chad and you as the soyjack” smearing anyone with principles as doomed wrecks stuck in the past who need to accept that the world moved on instead of fighting. This is what it does to you.

It is good to have standards.

And left unity types want us to ally with these. They can’t even figure out the screen people might be lying about a blatant white supremacist puppet state.

The guy dependent on the opiate of the masses is blind to the horrific conditions that allow him to get his treats? Wow you’re telling me this for the first time.

I don’t care whether the fascist prancing gives you serotonin, it’s still fascist prancing. Do some self crit to try to figure out how you let yourself be suckered like this.

Sports are just nationalistic bread and circuses who gives a fuck what happens in them anyway. Omnis delenda est.

I don’t think drawing porn of anime schoolgirls is conclusive evidence of being a pedophile

My initial comment asserted exactly one thing: that TADC has simplistic writing and that younger people probably appreciate that.

Sure let’s check that.

it’s also very much “baby’s first character driven story”. A lot of scenes involve the characters spelling out their feelings in no uncertain terms which, if your media taste is still at that level, reads as really deep and interesting

Hmm. And then as for “After that, people started swearing at me, which is when I asserted that people shouldn’t limit themselves to just watching simplistic media”, someone very justifiably told you to fuck off for that very backhanded sanctimonious bit about “if your media taste is still at that level”, you responded with “idk how old you are, but a millennial should be consuming media more challenging than TADC. Tell me I’m wrong.” which is very much NOT just saying people shouldn’t limit themselves to simplistic media, and is entirely rendering judgement.

You are in your 30s, you should be consuming more challenging media than TADC. That shit about cartesian dualism or whatever is fucking cope about a plotline that’s one step removed from Sword Art Online. You are what people are talking about when they complain about emotionally stunted adult children.

and THAT is where the ableism comes in. This has nothing to do with “exclusively consuming children’s media” or “limiting themselves to just watching simplistic media”. I frankly do not care how frustrated you are at someone for committing the high crime of telling you to fuck off, you don’t get to pull a Vaush and start spewing reactionary dogwater just because you deem the other person bad.

Your comments are public. I am not naive enough to believe that is only what you were saying. Attempting to paint over backhanded smug garbage about media taste not being on a high enough level as being just “expressing your opinion” on it, especially since you took the mask off and allowed the ableism fueling it to show (modlogs are public too remember), is really gross. There’s a reason you kept getting modsniped.

Also let the irony escape no one that you also said all this wearing an Aqua Teen avatar, a show with such lofty mature writing as “what if a banana sexually assaulted people for twelve minutes” or “what if Hitler was a balloon and stopped the Holocaust because he liked Adam Sandler movies”.

Never underestimate internet forum’s ability to make you spend an obscene amount of time defending something you don’t even like because the haters dislike it for the wrong reasons.

This sneering derision you hold for the notion of people liking a piece of media that you don’t (fed by some unexamined ableism, judging by your moderation history and comments about “emotionally stunted adult children”) and that they might find some emotional resonance in it indicates a chasm of emotional maturity far greater than the 30something YA readers you’ve made into your personal specter.

And I say this as someone who also holds a dislike of the show for their own reasons, so find a different reason to write me off. At least I actually investigated it rather than parading around and shouting to the high heavens what a terribly smart and above it all boy I am.

Sure. The cover from the last episode was done by JobbyTheHong. Here (yeah I know I know Reddit is gross) is him being best buds with and defending notorious lolicon “artist” Shadman who in the past has drawn material of real life minors, along with drawing lolicon himself, making videos about lolibait anime figurines with more cropped lolicon in the thumbnail, and being best buds with and making a podcast with “anti-SJW” right wing grifter ItsAGundam.

The show ended by erasing the blackness from a song about celebrating the birth of a black baby girl and covering it by a racist pedophile.

I’d care for the trans Jax thing more if she wasn’t voiced by a racist and have her girlness celebrated by erasing the blackness from a song about celebrating the birth of a black baby girl and covering it by a racist pedophile.
