  • But they aren’t saying death to Israelis when saying death to the IDF. You have to understand the difference between wishing for genocide upon a group of people and wishing for the end of an institution that does nothing but harm and bad.

    It’s also worth noting that the only right thing to do for a member of the IDF is to fight the IDF.

    They are morally obligated to tear down the infrastructure of genocide that they are a part of. The only good IDF soldier is the one who is working in earnest to oppose the IDF. All of the rest of them are cowardly garbage human beings who should probably go to the Hague.

    A tremendous number of them probably should be hung until death and then buried at sea with no ceremony. People who do what they do should have even their memories killed.



  • I’m hoping that the Trump administration can convince liberals that the second amendment is not their enemy, but it’s important to remember that every time we get any expansion of gun control it is because Republicans did it.

    Republicans will only expand gun control when the ‘undesirables’ start arming themselves.

    It sounds counterintuitive but The most effective path to real gun control is to encourage minorities to exercise their second amendment.


  • My ideal Duke nukem plot would basically just be some hypermasculine caricature that starts a normal day and is faced with increasingly insane excuses for ultraviolence at which he performs exceedingly well.

    He’s not scared, He’s not bored, He’s not brooding, He’s having a fucking day, and he’s all out of bubble gum.

    Despite the ever-increasing Gore and violence he never has to say or do anything problematic, just fucking brutally uncompromisingly violence against people that super duper obviously need it.

    Comical masculinity instead of toxic masculinity. Nothing even needs to change about his character.












  • I worked IT for two different school districts. The kids tech skills are seriously lacking.

    It’s seriously basic stuff like not knowing what a url, folder, directory or path is, not knowing that files are on the computer in a folder someplace instead of in “such-and-such app”, no concept of how to even begin troubleshooting and something like a genuine fear of anything that is not an Apple interface.

    The kids had windows laptops that they would use for school work but then I would find them composing everything on their iPhones only to email it to themselves and then submit it from their Windows laptops.

    Things like attaching files were a real chore for people that don’t understand file systems or sizes, and it doesn’t help that many of their teachers are similarly lacking the computer skills necessary to understand where these kids are falling off.

    I worked in the IT department, but I spent a lot of time talking to teachers. Several of them brought me into their classrooms to teach ‘curiosity skills’ since I think the computer can often teach you how to use it if you’re just curious enough to try.




  • They like McCarthyism. They think McCarthy was on to something. They think they’re really were communists everywhere and still are.

    15 years ago I was talking to my aunt, a staunch proud Republican, Union teacher at her local university, and sole inheritor of her father’s fortune. When I compared America’s response to the war on terror while using McCarthyism as an unfavorable comparison she said, “not everybody thinks that’s a bad thing.”

    I had to ask her to clarify, “McCarthyism? Isn’t it fundamentally unamerican to prosecute people for their thoughts, words, and association with other people? Doesn’t the first amendment mean anything?”

    What she said chilled me to my bones… “The first amendment isn’t meant for those people.”

    That’s who they are. Conservatives are people who think you don’t deserve rights if you disagree with them.


  • It really will but not because it’s so functional that we can’t compete with it.

    It’s going to cause mass unemployment because the imagined potential end of labor is so lucrative that it’s worth just about any price. Since the people who will own it don’t have to pay most of that price they are of course willing to force it into every single space out there to further externalize research and development costs onto an unwilling public.

    They genuinely don’t care what is spent, broken, or lost in their pursuit of infinite wealth.
