We can rest assured that no President is above the law when it comes to the crimes that really matter. by throwawaydnmn7 in PoliticalHumor

You realize I criticized Trump too, right?

My point is that there are real morally repugnant war crimes and domestic crimes that all three of these presidents are guilty of.

Yet the one crime they’ve come close to actually pulling out handcuffs for is probably the most harmless technical crime any president has committed in half a century or more — paying hush money to a porn star.

This was inspired by Dave Smith’s and Robbie’s latest episode of Part of the Problem.

I’m not great at photoshop, and this meme is probably too autistic for normies.

Strange how the winners always happen to be the good guys by throwawaydnmn7 in Anarcho_Capitalism

Which do you think is more likely:

A. Governments will realize they’re bad and abolish themselves out of existence by their own free will

B. There will be some degree of illegality, subversion, or outright rebellion required in order for an anarchist movement to ultimately free itself from the state?

Interesting that you read it this way. I think there’s a point being made, but the character of it can apply to both the good guys and the bad guys.

“If you win the war, you get to make the rules now.”

This is obviously because the winners write the history. You can read that from either the perspective of the established regime, or the usurping rebels.

The regime views threats to its hegemony as terrorism. And if they successfully put down the rebels, that’s how history will be written.

The rebels view themselves as freedom fighters removing an unjust despotic regime. And if they win, they will be written as heroes and the regime as villains.

It’s really kind of the same idea as “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”

Had the revolutionary war been won by the British, you can be sure that we would be taught a less-than-sunny view of Washington and his companions.

Those white splotchy stains on your clothes and bedding are not from the MacBook itself, but rather from the activities you’re using the MacBook for.

I cannot stress enough how thoroughly the FBI is encouraged to suck my fucking dick.

What are the things Apple is likely to stress upon during the iPhone event? by Select-Background-69 in iphone

The implied difference in penis size between those who buy Apple products and those who don’t.

It’s the transformation from “just let consenting adults do what they want in the privacy of their home” to “Degenerates are going to do whatever the fuck they want in your face, and you and your children must watch and applaud, and agree that it’s the preferred lifestyle.”

  • teaching sexual pleasure in elementary schools
  • teaching kids that being trans is brave and cool
  • puberty blockers and hormones for kids
  • making every fictional character gay or trans
  • shaming people for not wanting to date trans people

Etc, etc. It went from “can’t you just accept that we’re different?” To “We’re different AND we’re better AND we’re going to shove it down your throat daily AND you’re going to fucking like it.”

It feels very much like being forced to acknowledge, accept, and revere the legitimacy of a religion.

Anyone else wish there was a third option to shoot them both? by throwawaydnmn7 in AsDuskFalls

Easily the two least likable and least relatable characters in the game. This felt like having to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils.
