  • You’ve already admitted that you have absolutely no plan for the consequences of your action. At best you’d doom us to a decades-long civil war like the Troubles in Ireland, at worst you’d doom us to live under an authoritarian regime led by an ultra violent strongman. Neither of those scenarios guarantee or even improve our odds of reaching solutions to the problems you’re trying to murder your way out of.

    Your entire plan boils down to “kill a bunch of people now and we’ll maybe figure out how to deal with the fallout along the way” and yet it’s somehow everyone else who can’t see the forest past the trees.




  • When everyone you talk to is an asshole, you’re most likely the asshole. Your post and comment history is absolutely littered with violent rhetoric and you have a bad habit of angrily lashing out at anyone who disagrees with you, often resorting to childish name calling rather than engaging in meaningful conversation. It shows a complete inability to have a discussion outside of an echo chamber of your own personal view, which are squarely in an extreme end of the spectrum.

    Perhaps the reason you can’t find a place where you can have a pragmatic discussion is because you yourself are incapable of having such a discussion, not that such places don’t exist. It’s like the old saying goes, “wherever you go, there you are.”

    Tbf there are probably far-right people who are more like the latter. Just b/c I do not recall ever hearing those arguments does not mean that they don’t exist!

    Those people are working with the heritage foundation and other far right think tanks. They understand that their brand of mask-off fascism is problematic to a lot of people, so they allow their ideas to percolate through various right wing media outlets and entertainment personalities. By the time their ideologies reaches the mind of your average voter they’ve been neatly repackaged as “hey we’re just asking some questions here, we just want to get the facts straight.”







  • Henry Ford is also the reason kids learn square dancing in school. I actually had to learn how to dance like a hillbilly in gym class because some long-dead antisemite was once convinced that jazz music and the Charleston (read: black people and anything cultural that they contribute) would corrupt the youth, who could only be saved by the purity of barnyard dancing.

    I don’t know how this contributes to the conversation at hand, but I think about it a lot.
