Remember when there were dozens of music festivals every summer and some would even tour to your town and now there's one and it's mostly about rich people posting selfies

Obviously right-wing Zionists are around the bend on this but moderates/liberals who fall into loose accusations of antisemitism to silence critics of Israel should already be reckoning with what happens to the safety of Jews when bad faith applications strip the term of all meaning or authority.

Gee, I wonder why you can't get a girlfriend, guys. Must be your opinions on tax policy, huh?

There's real tension between Secure the Border and Trump's Trade War for sure, but the former is authoritarian theatre and the latter is delusions from the addled mind of the syphilitic emperor so they shouldn't be expected to line up.

*Slavoj Zizek voice* Jell-O, which I enjoy without reservation, is also undoubtedly degenerate. A food for perverts.

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

What does he think money is for, piling up in a large room and taking a swim in like Scrooge McDuck?

This is my thing about conservatives, ultimately. Their ideas are bad. Their ideas hurt people. They can stop believing in them at any point and I would have no problem with them as fellow humans. But no, their bad ideas make them a protected group. Identity politics, which they claim to hate.

I'm not going to say that I consider any sort of revolutionary mass uprising in America likely but the Trumpists are doing everything a ruling cadre would otherwise avoid doing in fear of sparking such an uprising and as usual it's unclear whether it's because they mean to or are that incompetent.

Is this your god

Charlotte says something to this effect later in the thread but what people actually miss is the dignity of work. Good luck getting that from a government made up of the worst bosses in the country.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

This is where I'm at. Conservatives work overtime in the discourse to claim the position of the salt-of-the-earth populists but their blithe decadent self-regard and cosseted, sheltered existence leads them to tilt at windmills of grievance and it's wrecking the world.
