I once briefly considered learning Esperanto. I don't know what the fuck that has to do with the Boogaloo but since we're talking about languages I just felt the need to randomly shoot that out there.

I tend to believe that part of the media have recently discovered ironic memes in the internet but due to lack of understanding and investment tend to draw initial false conclusions. After drawing said conclusions, they then (like every yellow press journalist that has zero self-respect) blow things out of proportion to make a story. Now why do they make such stories? Well frankly because life hacks get boring after a while, cat videos are depleting and because they do not have the guts to do true journalism.

Absolutely ridiculous.

A vote is a declaration of support. Supporting evil is in and of itself evil.

Besides, you’re making a lot of assumptions here. What guarantee is there that the lesser evil winning will eventually result in a scenario where good can prevail?


Only if you take the idea of Democrats being the lesser of two evils literally.

It won't. But letting the greater evil win guarantees it will get worse.

LOL So this is going to be the new "incels"... which OC replaced the "alt-right" a few years ago as the new straw boogeyman.. :roll:


An anti-government movement that advocates for a violent uprising targeting liberal political opponents and law enforcement has moved from the fringes of the internet into the mainstream in recent months and surged on social media, according to a group of researchers that tracks hate groups.

Professional FUD slingers, hatemongers and general extremist ideologues said it so it must be true!

Unbelievable stupid article. Gotta make shit up to slander the opposition, I suppose, even if that means being so willfully retarded that you don't understand how memes work.
I'm finished with this forum and the constant goddamn groupthink, virtue signalling, and woke scolding. I thank Max for the good times I've spent here but I just don't fit anymore. Peace.

It's not a straw bogeyman. Trump has referenced the possibility of a civil war if he loses.

They're not slandering the opposition. The opposition is just so disgusting that there's no end to things like this.
