  • Y’all think it’s funny that dude had a Nazi tattoo? Like that’s not relevant? Am I stupid for considering that a giant red flag? Do you think his excuse about not knowing his nazi tattoo was a nazi tattoo is credible? Would you accept that from Pete Hegseth?

    People who call themselves anti-fascist should have higher standards. We should recognize that people subjected to fascist violence might view white dudes with Nazi tattoos a little differently. And those people might view white leftests differently knowing that anti-fascism and anti-racism is fungible.

    So go ahead and down-vote me, but remember this the next time you’re vexed about why Bernie Sanders struggled with black voters. Leftests have a credibility problem in some communities and shit like this is why.

    It’s true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something “because” they’re nihilist.

    The truth is that nihilists aren’t upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.












  • It’s really dishonest to describe the un-freezing of funds and sanctions relief as “giving” Iran money.

    It’s no wonder that the Obama and Trump deals would be similar, since it’s the same countries, with the same leverage, and all the same goals.

    We shouldn’t adopt the language of people who believe diplomacy is worthless. Instead we should be pointing out that the bombs and missiles didn’t seem to help much.


  • There is a known phenomena among some E Asian living in America to learn English so thoroughly that they loose the accent. The problem is that their English is too good; their diction becomes the accent that gives them away.

    It’s almost impossible to pass as a native speaker without years of immersion in the culture.

    The terminally online debate-me-bro brand of atheism.

    It’s always been curious to me that you can define yourself by something that your not. I’m also vexed why an atheist would proselytize. They’re not saving souls or capturing 10%. What’s the motivation? And please don’t say it’s because atheists are better people. Because all the famous “new” atheists were regular cast members on Epstein Island and the whole movement had deep ties to the alt-right and Gamergate.

    I’m not saying they’re wrong, I’m saying they’re obnoxious, belligerent, and annoying. To be clear, I’m atheist. That’s half the problem. These MFers are making me look bad.
