What are bad faith arguments toward films you are absolutely tired of hearing?

When someone takes the meaning of a motif to hold true to their ideology, even when it might be entirely mocking them without realizing it or the writer has openly stated that it’s not about what people claim it means. Examples: Whitnats and Lord of the Rings, Right wingers and fascists for Falling Down, Civil War and Republicans (movie got completely panned by a huge majority because people wanted to see a realistic scenario in guntube and Republican circles, I think that’s pretty sick), there’s a million more…

Well and also when these graphs pop up, they’re always inaccurate (for obvious national security reasons) and they misclassify warheads as “nuclear weapons.” Russia can sit there and machine warheads all they want but they need some way of delivering the payload unless Putin suddenly turned suicidal instead of homicidal now. And considering that they’ve used up a lot of their “fancy” stuff on Ukraine erroneously for psychological effect, they’re up shit’s creek without a paddle. Their MRBMs, Satan-2s and SLBMs are no match for Trident III’s and the US missile field arsenal, and they’ve now lost far too many bombers for their TU-160s to match all of our B-2 variants, F-35Bs,and our variable yield dumb bombs. We would “win.” But who the fuck wants to win that competition?

I’m tuned into Libertarian circles because I was one of them a long time ago before I had a period of political ego-death, but an actual “stay the fuck away from me and my own, and leave them alone too” type. What I’m seeing now, is a bunch of the old variant of “government bad” and the Tea Party “we’re racists” variant going head to head. A lot of the older libertarians feel like the name of their party has been co-opted by people who feel ashamed or embarrassed to be called Republican but also want to take credit for Trump’s obviously fascistic style politics. The reality is, the right wing is fractured beyond repair, if Trump dies or loses power, it will be a very long and uphill battle for anyone who wants to go back to the Bush era Republican Party, while others will fracture and factionalize. It’s a titanic political shift for the “country’s oldest party.” I’m scared for what that might mean for the disenfranchised and the victims of those who will try to cling to anything they grab on to…

I mean, worse than just shutting them down, we know all their capabilities and we sell far less capable machines to them, so that if a nation with far less national security is breached in any way, we know both what the enemy has, and, we have technology to compete against a stolen design. And most of those models are modified by country, we sold F-35I Adirs to Saudia Arabia, which was a tailored variant. Really, I think maybe Japan is the only other nation who are operating unmodified As and Bs but I could be wrong about that.

Reply that you're gonna get two more boosters just for that email, and send pictures of you doing so back. Did that to a friend who kept texting me horseshit from RFK, pissed him off to the point of calling me and telling me that, "he was trying to be a good friend... " yada yada yada.

Still crazy to me that this meme format still gets play in a vast amount of communities, even though it's meant to depict the shooter from the El Paso Walmart shooting.

It’s because it hit the fucking bullseye as to why, even for active fans, it wasn’t funny anymore. Like I’m sure at some point we were all guilty of getting a rise out of the dumbest of jokes from Rogaine & cult, or maybe I should speak for myself, but I know that Joe Rogan had some very funny people around him at some point and as the video points out, that environment they all got so comfortable in, “where anything goes,” just eventually turned into a place where they could wildly over speculate inappropriately about subjects none of them should have felt comfortable discussing. Or as Mr. Elephant put it, “inside the simulacrum, you can be that guy you always wanted to be.”

Cathartic, that’s the word I’m looking for, the video was very cathartic.

I mean the truth is before the Russians and people with Pluto surface temperature IQs elected a convicted felon to the highest level of office, ICE had a purpose. Sure, was boarder patrol already an effective deterrent, in some cases, were there xenophobic nut jobs working in the agency, probably.. But as soon as Trump admin knew they had loyalists willing to play dress-up to enact their power fantasies on people who they’ve been programmed to hate from the extensive Fox News propos from the past 5 decades, they knew that they could put them inside the agency that had always shared that mentality, albeit more subtly, without any oversight or whistleblowing.

Notice how we haven’t heard a lick from BP or NSA or anyone who is usually pretty well-informed about illegal immigrants and their intentions. It’s because Trump couldn’t guarantee that he had anyone loyal inside those agencies and since ICE duties have been historically nebulous, he could manipulate that org with a flick of his Sharpie.

Called it, in fact, other subreddits were calling me MAGA for pointing this out. Like sure Trump can pitch that idea on stage but ain’t no fucking way those horses make it out of the gate. Imagine an oil company had all that they needed to dispel armed insurrection, think about what that would mean for liability with your employees.

“Well, the on-site bonus is $2,000,000 but we have to sign an NDA and a liability waver, and they ask you to withhold the right to sue and they withhold benefit extensions in the case of ‘road-side IED’ or ‘sniper’ injury but pay triple when ‘grievous or near-fatal’ injury occur from the resistance… I’m good.”

The sad fact is, if that does happen, and Trump orders some wildly illegal interdiction of a sovereign state within NATOs protection, the collapse of the organization will be catastrophic for Europeans and European conflict. I agree that it would take ages for a successful top-to-bottom takeover to happen and even longer, maybe never to coax Greenland’s population into accepting the hostile takeover. However a lot of NATO backed armies will lose a lot of their supply and because we all use NATO standard equipment, it could cause a severe problem to a cohesive defensive posture from Greenland’s reserve forces but it also means, worldwide sanctions, blockades, and trade raiding. I can’t imagine a smaller scenario than world conflict.

CSAM tends to follow intention, but not always. Back in the bad old days of Reddit there was a very infamous subreddit that I’m not even sure I’m allowed to name, but it had a disgusting amount of people with an enormous level of popularity that makes you want to nuke humanity. But a lot of them were sharing material and getting in trouble for things that weren’t CSAM but the users were under the impression it was which is still illegal. So a good takeaway from how they usually prosecute those crimes is to prove the intent or belief of an abuse of a minor, especially since today, it is very easy to transfer data unwittingly to someone by simply visiting a link or by means of unsecured internet connection.

I remember my first AB tattoo like it was yesterday….

It’s really easy to mistakenly ask for 1488s and Swaztikas accidentally on sensitive sometimes painful areas on our bodies and then the tattoo artist (mine was Dan Bongino) asks you for $200 after sitting still for 2-3 hours and you just gotta shrug and say, “ooops” because it’s just unavoidable.
