That’s a nice hobby or interest you got there. Would be a shame if someone…SHARTED SANTORUM ALL OVER IT!!! Fuck your hobby! It’s part of the trans movement now!!
And that, they and thems, is why so many people find the movement so God damn insufferable.
I hate Paul as much as anyone. I REALLY do! But…
He is a pretty competent boxer.
Had to do a couple read throughs. Got a chuckle out of me tho!
Typical. Don’t care about the actual struggles of us “brown people”. “Just shut up and be my prop! I’ve got a political statement to make!”
Sorry your slaves are being taken from you.
As I mentioned below. I know more about this issue first hand and gone through more than you probably ever will in your life.
Low energy. Son, you would have crumbled if you had to grow up the way I did.
This sounds a bit anecdotal or even hyperbolic (maybe not the Florida bit, I don’t know I don’t live there so I don’t know what’s going on there).
…pound the table about migrants…
Why is it so impossible for this side of the argument to understand that the issue is with illegal migrants taking advantage of the system? You all go so far as to say things like “there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant!”
Yes. Yes there is. By legal definition there is! And as the son of a legal immigrant, someone who has been directly involved with this system, I absolutely do take issue with this country opening the flood gates to allow skirting of the system. As do MOST legal immigrants as was shown by this election!
Here comes the Democrats again. Complaining that their slaves are being taken away.

It’s more so that they can FEEL like they did the right thing. Not that they did the right thing.
It’s all about optics. If they vote for a Democrat and post a picture with their “I Voted” sticker, then they get internet points! Then they don’t have to be worried about getting canceled by their peers who they swear up and down don’t cancel people because that goes against their fake “live and let live” ideology.
Sure I voted for genocide, but I did it the way all of Hollywood did, so I’m cool and part of the club! It’s the acceptable form of genocide support!
Sir, that is far too much logic for this crowd.
This (like Reddit) is an echo chamber.
Lol!
This fantasy you people have is nothing but sociopathy.
What “rich” are you trying to kill and eat? Just, anyone that you have judged to have more than you have? It’s not like you will be able to get to the people at the very top. And what, you just murder those that you have labeled “rich” along the way?
My brother makes more than I do. MUCH MORE. I would never want to see him and his family murdered by douche bags out of jealousy for the things he has been able to work hard to achieve. And he has worked hard all of his life to make it to where he is now!
Do you guys have some sort of test to see who should and shouldn’t be murdered just because they have more than you do?
You guys are fucking sick in the head!
The bad boy of the competition:
Bart Harley Jarvis!
My MIL is this kind of extrovert. She assumes that if someone isn’t constantly talking to her that they hate her.
Look lady: I love your daughter to death! I love you to death! I DON’T HAVE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN MY LIFE!! And you KNOW that!! Trust me, when I do, I WILL LET YOU KNOW!! In the meantime, business as usual and I don’t have any opinions on anything outside of my purview!
I swear, if ever she was forced to sit in front of a group of people in silence, her head might explode.
I find it important to call out any media bias no matter how “tepid” you may find it.
It’s the deluge of “tepid” examples of bias that makes us complacent when what you might consider “real bias” comes up and goes unnoticed and/or unquestioned.
To all of the “neutral” folks:
Wouldn’t “neutral” mean you could swap headlines and photos and still have the same emotional response (because that is the aim of propaganda, to illicit an emotional response)?
I don’t think this would garner the same response if it was switched.
It is subtle propaganda (apparently), but biased propaganda none the less.
Not necessarily. One snip gives an example of a positive quality of the person in question paired with a positive leaning photo. The other gives no such example of quality (and in fact uses authoritarian language as a way of swaying opinion) paired with a photo doctored to (at least in my mind) resemble historically negative figureheads.
This is a form of bias and propaganda.
Exactly! Additionally, the visual cues that are obviously being used paint a very different picture.
Propaganda isn’t really difficult. It just requires a predisposed audience.
I love this. It always reminds me of Fleetwood Mac, and that’s always a good thing!
$700 gets you a pretty nice PC these days…
I didn’t say anything about not allowing representation.
Honestly, my main gripe here is that an intensely emotional scene that is held in such high regard because of the story and context, has been cheapened by adding a sociopolitical slant to it! This moment (which I know does not occur in the book the same way), is about the Mighty King Aragorn, facing his death willingly in service of his friend Frodo.
That’s it and that’s all. In the context it’s a powerful moment that makes ALL PEOPLE (except maybe sociopaths) feel a sense of honor and comradery for two beloved characters.
It’s not a fucking allegory for “kids who haven’t even hit puberty yet should be allowed to transition!!”
Please feel free to create any new story of any kind that represents absolutely every subgroup of person who feels marginalized! (it would have to be a 30 season slog with incessant infighting about which group is more marginalized and thus deserves more representation than the others).
But then, of course, nobody would watch it (or at least not enough people to warrant a production company spending so much money on such a project) So, we start the cycle over and the trans movement once again has to pirate another big name IP to feel “really seen” (aka, LOOK AT ME!!!)
I’m sorry to have to break the news here, but the trans community makes up 1.14% of the population of the US!
I think, considering this data, that it is OVER represented in modern culture!
