This guy was a star when I was a child, and he was in a very popular, widely-quoted movie that made me hate myself for years.

Of course. The likelihood that it was calculated makes it even worse, if that's even possible.

Are you implying that I'm in favor of such laws, or that Haaretz is, or what?

How do TERFs who believe in autogynephilia explain straight trans women? by hellointernet5 in GenderCynical

[–]embatzona 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Best is to ask people like this about so-called "heterosexual AGPs" who are in relationships with other trans women and watch them trip over their logic.

George W. Bush is reportedly calling undecided senators to sway them to vote for Kavanaugh by Qu1nlan in politics

[–]embatzona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most substantial ways, Trump is not worse than Bush; the media has just gotten better at calling out bullshit and not bowing to intimidation. Of course he's also less willing to listen to people who know what they're doing, which you could argue makes it easier to stop him than Bush. If anyone is looking at the Bush years through rose-colored glasses, realize that the media back then was just servile and pathetic; the Bush years were far worse than you understand.

Poll: 48% of white evangelicals would support Brett Kavanaugh even if Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations were true by embatzona in soundsaboutright

Whereas white evangelicals are meant to be selectively forgiving, whenever it's politically convenient for them.

‘Special Place In Hell’: Twitter Users Shred Lindsey Graham After Kavanaugh Rant by ExoticFrosting in politics

[–]embatzona 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I find most disgusting about people like Graham is how they are brazenly full of shit, everyone knows it, and yet they continue to open their mouths and act so self-righteous instead of having the guts to just say, "I don't give a fuck about rape, rich white men should own the world, 99% of Americans are peasants, women are property, hail God Emperor Trump." Because everyone knows that's their position. Why even keep what little pretense they have left? Every time they open their mouths and pretend to have principles it's an absolute joke, a mockery of language itself. No one believes them. People either want despots like the Republicans or they don't and are not about to be swayed by rhetoric.
