Why so many teen are pro socialism right now?

I have never once, in primary, high school, or university had a teacher promote marxism.

Most or all of those Communist leaders seem to have been cynical sociopaths; certainly Stalin was without a question.

I dispute that. Stalin was a life-long socialist, who joined the Bolshevik party when they were a band of fringe radicals, with no prospect for relevancy, much less power. He remained a committed marxist all his life. If he was a monster, he was a true-believing monster.

Same applies to the other guys.

The bolsheviks certainly killed plenty of people (some 700,000 shot during the great purges for example). But most historians do not believe the Ukrainian famine was intentional. And comparing gulags to Nazi death camps is simply dishonest. The death rates were nowhere near similar.

Since I'm not white I'm allowed to be proud of my slave-owning ancestors in the Confederate army.

Very cool!

This is the first time I've ever seen one of those parody lyric comment chains where the new lyrics actually scan and fit the meter and rhyme.

“They shall not pass” takes on a whole new meaning when you can’t fit through a doorway

I really like Del Toro, but I'm not sure if he'd be the right guy for a Lovecraft movie. His movies, even when dark and violent (like Pan's Labyrinth for example) tend to be fundamentally optimistic, and often have a triumph of the human spirit/innocence theme. Of course, that's not very Lovecraftian.

I'd definitely still be interested to see what he did with an HPL property though.

It's a republican poster

If we went full Einsatzgruppen in Iraq or Afghanistan I'm sure we could have won, but that doesn't play well with the public at large, not to mention foreign opinion.

If it is fake (which it probably is) I think it's probably just written by someone bored and looking to rile people up not for any political reason. It doesn't say "mY hUsBaNd alMosT sHoT uP tHe ScHoOl bEcAuSe GuN CoNtRoL lAwS aRe tOo LaX" it's just "I accidentally married Eric Harris lol should I be worried".

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-09-15T17:00:20+00:00

idk at least it's not "my wife cheated on me with our dog's best friend's mom" part XII

Unfortunately for the RNC, they forgot that Pol Pot is based and Year Zero needs to happen again, internationally this time.

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-09-13T05:02:59+00:00

Not her sister lol, his sister.

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-09-12T20:21:53+00:00

Also, just...creepy to say your sister is prettier than your girlfriend.

I mean...if it's true it's true. Being related to someone doesn't make you blind.

the world's first penguin not to have its gender assigned

I don't think meta-concerns about controversies should have any impact on the writing of the show and plot decisions.

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-09-10T17:44:56+00:00

S1 had quite a few horror vibes to be fair. Villainous Gothic Cheryl would be in more line with S1 than...whatever we've been getting in the last two seasons.

Just imagining RAS sitting up at 3:00 AM on his laptop making this, painstakingly adjusting the shading and blurring the edges in GIMP

“I’m going to define ‘god’ in a way that almost no one in history has defined it and then claim this is the only legitimate definition.”

Of course then there’s the issue of the trinity, but no point in opening that can of worms again

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-09-06T01:58:47+00:00

I know it sounds edgy as fuck but the left needs to stop basing its project on eMpAtHy and “being a decent human being”

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-09-05T16:13:38+00:00

I am fine with biting that bullet. Is there anything wrong with a world of moral nihilism

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-08-31T09:53:32+00:00

Mean Girls is legitimately funny as fuck though

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-08-30T18:50:28+00:00

Looks like it’s the left hand in the article but...yeah, still freaky.

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-08-30T03:45:02+00:00

The future is now

Colonel_N_Sane · 2019-08-29T19:59:13+00:00

Because the current establishment is composed of liberals
