No matter where they go. No matter who their relatives are. No matter what jobs they end up in, somehow the Rees always end up next to Trump supporters.

has anyone said "Maybe if stinkles wasn't wasting his time being a racist, maybe the game wouldn't had been delayed."

Biden + Cop Vs Trump what an epic finish 2020 is going to have, he seriously has such a team behind him to think that this is a good choice?

Beyond being a gross misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the themes and messages of both books, I find my co-workers attempts at far-right co-opting of George Orwell especially hilarious since the reality was Orwell was a lifelong, impassioned Socialist.

:confused

They seem oblivious to the fact that Orwell was a staunch socialist who was indeed criticising "the left", specifically the type of left embodied by resetera of hypocrisy, ruling cliques, censorship and silencing dissent.
Like, Animal Farm is absolutely fucking explicit in being a condemnation of Stalinist Russia

Quote
That's the funniest part, he swears up and down that he has in fact read it, but when he talks specifically about it just sounds like he read someone's bullet point summary or Orwell inspired OP-ed piece.

This reminds me of when Incelchief tried to drop a "I've read things that aren't comics" take by pretending they've read the essay Politics & The English Language and described it as a "warning" when it is a primer in writing effective rhetoric.

The arrogance here is fucking astounding. Some of you don't actually want things to get better, you just want to bask in your own perceived moral superiority.
:teehee

but its not just "perceived" moral superiority, it IS exactly that.

how are people willing to vote for a known racist, sexual assaulting conman who wants to destroy nature NOT morally inferior? of course they are. they are simply not good people, and it shouldn't be taboo to say it. they have negative value as humans, they bring society down.

I dunno, do you;
1) Believe that people who voted for Trump in 2016 and deeply regret it today are the same group as people who proudly defend everything he stands for today, and should be treated the same way?
and
2) Do you believe the continued trajectory of extreme partisanship where team blue and team red consider the other team an irredeemable piece of shit at a fundamental level with nothing in common and that you can never give any quarter or compromise to because they barely even count as human makes the political landscape better or worse?

Era 4 years later

"Joe Biden was big disappointment, I'm not voting ever again. China can nuke us for all I care"

"Yeah, he and Kamala really didn't change anything, still no justice, no reparations, no peace and no defunded police"

"I cannot believe he appointed a Republican as secretary of defense to cross the isle. Fucking piece of shit, I regret voting for him. Especially after he kept the China Tariffs in tact and condemned the annexation of Hong Kong"

"Not only was he a disappointment he actually worked with Republicans and gave them exactly what they wanted. He was just another Russian agent, Israeli puppet or both. Don't ask me when HALO Infinite is coming out you entitled nerds"

"I'm glad Trump is no longer President but that POS still isn't dead and they never prosecuted him for his crimes. He's living the high life again with his own TV network while we are stuck fending for ourselves, it makes me sick"

"It was clear from the start Kamala was just window dressing and she didn't actually have anything to say"

BANNED history of supporting white supremacy (duration: pending)
"Biden wasn't as bad as Trump guys"

1) Trump was a known piece of shit in 2016. They voted for that piece of shit. Their regrets kinda bounce off me. Sure, good for them but am I to believe they won’t pull this shit again?

Irredeemable? No. Tarnished? Yes.

2) I can still be polite to a tarnished piece of shit.

I think there's a segment of people that voted for Trump because he was a non-politician. He didn't speak in their tired language and he didn't have any obvious corporate puppetmasters. The RNC didn't fully support him either. So, it was more of a vote against the system than a vote for Trump himself.

It will be interesting to see the exit polling on how many voters actually turned on trump. Do those people switch votes or just stay home?

This is why I think they are capable of this again. They didn’t care about his character or the racism, xenophobia, misogyny or general bigotry, just his plan to MAGA, as flawed as it was.

Yet another mod appeared from nowhere, but based on their avatar and tag combo I assume is from the furry hangout, so at least should have experience with being an internet laughing stock in advance

And for a forum that was literally yesterday talking about wypipo can't handle spice, weird as shit to see a poll with 3 curries that are all blander than a KFC zinger

As someone who read (and unfortunately watched) 1984 for school and has Animal Farm on the bookshelf, right-wingers trying to co-opt that shit will never not be fascinating.

Maybe if you'd actually paid attention you wouldn't be the petty dictator that you are :idont

When 1984 talks about The Party, and The Proles whose political ideology do those words come from? What might "prole" be a shortened version of?
When Winston Smith's job is to remove Unpersons from historical records, what historical parallels can be drawn from that? Are there are relevant contemporary historical examples of, say, photos being altered to remove people from the image who had fallen out of political favour?

Like, if you don't fucking know what regime in particular 1984 and Animal Farm are explicitly criticising, it's a weird flex to go "haha look at these idiots not understanding the point of a book I have no fucking clue about"

such stupid fucking weird energy in here. the point is to work your ass off to get them over the finish line. get your guys in, who are just figureheads for the entire party/movement and then work like fucking hell to push them left as possible. it's not like the work ends in november. the work actually starts right fucking now and never fucking ends!

jesus christ, and staying home and not voting is the complete opposite of what you should be doing. there are no protest votes in a two fucking party system when the opposing side are evil monsters who want to completely deconstruct government. so fucking frustrating reading all of this bullshit

this is why we never get anywhere. take that twitter energy and utilize it in real fucking life.

you cannot get real change done without having that power in the first place, remember that. and regardless of what kamala or joe have done in the past HAS NO FUCKING BEARING AT ALL ON THE FUTURE. THEY ARE LITERALLY PUPPETS. THEY WORK AT THE BEHEST OF THE PEOPLE, OF US, OF THE PARTY. DO YOU IDIOTS NOT GET THAT. IF THEY DON'T VOTE HOW YOU WANT IN THE FUTURE, YOU CAN VOICE YOUR OPINIONS WHOLEHEARTEDLY THEN. THAT'S WHERE THE HARD WORK COMES IN. THAT'S WHERE THE REAL ACTIVISM HAPPENS.

HOW DO YOU NOT FUCKING GET THIS SHIT? BUT YOU NEED TO GET INTO OFFICE FIRST.
Maybe take it down a notch, christ

On a personal note, I'll vote for Biden if he comes out supporting M4A or a strong stance on marijuana legalization. Until then, I'm voting Green with the hope that they get 5% and are eligible for government funding.

Marijuana legalization might not seem that important on its face, but blacks are 4 times as likely to be arrested for possession as whites while the percentages of people who use pot are about the same for blacks and whites.  It’s absolutely another tool cops use to punish minorities for existing. :ufup

That’s true but until the police in this country are reformed (probably never gonna happen) anything that removes a reason for them to harass minorities sounds good to me.  Additionally, marijuana enforcement costs a lot of money and legalizing it would bring in lots of tax money which could be used to fund better social programs.  There is literally no downside to legalization.

I mean... if it was a free win with no drawback, it would have happened already. And in other countries that are more left leaning than America traditionally is.
People have been lobbying to legalise it since the '60s.

But even assuming there is no downside, to come out and state you're otherwise fine with another 4 years of Trump and that's your dealbreaker is...  :doge

I’m speaking broadly when I say there is no downside, if you’re a cop of course there’s a downside, if you’re ultra religious and love telling people what they can and can’t do with their bodies there is downside.  If dude is in a swing state then yea I can see a throw away vote being problematic, but if he’s in a safe blue state or safe red state who cares.  I’m writing in Bernie but I live in a state that hasn’t gone to a republican presidential candidate since 1988.

Am I supposed to disagree with the assertion that Trump supporters are pieces of shit?

I dunno, do you;
1) Believe that people who voted for Trump in 2016 and deeply regret it today are the same group as people who proudly defend everything he stands for today, and should be treated the same way?
and
2) Do you believe the continued trajectory of extreme partisanship where team blue and team red consider the other team an irredeemable piece of shit at a fundamental level with nothing in common and that you can never give any quarter or compromise to because they barely even count as human makes the political landscape better or worse?
1) Trump was a known piece of shit in 2016. They voted for that piece of shit. Their regrets kinda bounce off me. Sure, good for them but am I to believe they won’t pull this shit again?

Irredeemable? No. Tarnished? Yes.

2) I can still be polite to a tarnished piece of shit.

In my experience, 2016 Trump voters fall into a few categories.

1. Genuine racists

2. Lifelong and/or single issue Republican voters (abortion, good for Israel, etc)

3. People that do whatever their parents tell them and literally do not engage with politics at all (one of whom wasn't even aware of the proposed "build the wall" platform)

4. Accelerationists that genuinely want America as it is now to burn to the ground in hopes of it coming back stronger

5. People that thought it would be funny, including one dumbass that was moving to Japan in early 2017 anyway and figured he could watch the circus from the other side of the world.

6. Peer-pressured army dudes incapable of thinking for themselves.

It's good to remember we're talking about 63 million people here.  When you got a number like that, things are going to be more complicated than just throwing them all into the same basket.

My brother-in-law voted Trump in 2016 and plans to do so again in 2020.  He also marched for George Floyd and is in favor of defunding the police.  No, I don't get it either, but I can't imagine people with that kind of cognitive dissonance are as rare as a lot of people think.

1) Believe that people who voted for Trump in 2016 and deeply regret it today are the same group as people who proudly defend everything he stands for today, and should be treated the same way?
and
2) Do you believe the continued trajectory of extreme partisanship where team blue and team red consider the other team an irredeemable piece of shit at a fundamental level with nothing in common and that you can never give any quarter or compromise to because they barely even count as human makes the political landscape better or worse?
1) Trump was a known piece of shit in 2016. They voted for that piece of shit. Their regrets kinda bounce off me. Sure, good for them but am I to believe they won’t pull this shit again?

Irredeemable? No. Tarnished? Yes.

2) I can still be polite to a tarnished piece of shit.

In my experience, 2016 Trump voters fall into a few categories.

1. Genuine racists

2. Lifelong and/or single issue Republican voters (abortion, good for Israel, etc)

3. People that do whatever their parents tell them and literally do not engage with politics at all (one of whom wasn't even aware of the proposed "build the wall" platform)

4. Accelerationists that genuinely want America as it is now to burn to the ground in hopes of it coming back stronger

5. People that thought it would be funny, including one dumbass that was moving to Japan in early 2017 anyway and figured he could watch the circus from the other side of the world.

6. Peer-pressured army dudes incapable of thinking for themselves.

It's good to remember we're talking about 63 million people here.  When you got a number like that, things are going to be more complicated than just throwing them all into the same basket.

My brother-in-law voted Trump in 2016 and plans to do so again in 2020.  He also marched for George Floyd and is in favor of defunding the police.  No, I don't get it either, but I can't imagine people with that kind of cognitive dissonance are as rare as a lot of people think.

Why Trump?

Don't ask me, all I'm doing is listing off the kinds of people I've met that voted him.  Going more in depth on my own opinion here will have me sounding like Finale Fireworker when he meets someone that doesn't like Red Dead Redemption 2.

old, and not sure if discussed but I clicked a "google news" link on my phone while poopin' and it was using a reset mod "Dusk Golem" as a source claiming third party games are going to look far better on XSX because of that 18% extra compute, and m$ are going to undercut sony because they're profiting so much off "gamepass"  :lol

i know he has some track record as a "verified tipster" (i remember something about him leaking basic info on REVIII) but he is being funneled piles of shit here

i just really liked how transparently stupid it was; m$ publicly stated gamepass is "not a profit play at the moment" a little while ago  :lol

obviously m$ will be moneyhatting third parties to spend more time improving performance for the xsx similar to what they did with RDR2 and xb1x but 18% extra raw compute isn't going to have third parties magically improving their games for xsx.

Some of y’all niccas are way too immature, posting disdain and corny gifs because of who it’s coming from.

If you don’t like Benji, leave the thread and don’t comment. How pathetic do you have to be baselessly hate on another adult who’s minding his business?

Every goddamn time lmao
