It's funny how woke/SJW are posting on all these places thinking that anyone has the wherewithall to actually read any of it. I don't give a crap about DEI, all I care about is who has the best product and the best price for it.What's more interesting though is the psychological mentality for people thinking this is somehow useful. It's not, all I care about is product and price. This is same train of "organic" food which failed because the real issue isn't DEI but economics for normal families. (-44)

No one mentioned DEI, I just said I didn't want to support MAGA. No one will have the best price shortly.And the best way, and most American way to vote has, and always will be, vote with your wallet. I'm voting with mine. (19)

Just replace DEI with MAGA. Still don't care. The only thing I hate about MAGA is the tarriff/inflation which hits our wallets. Let's stay focused on the real goal here. (-23)

So are you a capitalist or a constitutionalist.In your world, I am responsible for not only voting my conscience, but am then responsible for the economic stability of people who express ideals that are inimical to my belief systems. Under that logic, I am being punished for valuing things like free speech (if Musk is a special government employee, and he's actively banning political views from X, then this is a violation of my rights), separation of church and state, equal rights, etc.The moral gymnastics you are doing here is amazing. You've said it yourself, you really don't care, as long as people take care of your business by shopping at it. That's unbelievably selfish and completely morally vapid. (0)

are the two mutually exclusive?Didn't say you're responsible for others, but I did point out the harm that you'd cause (it would take a LARGE group of boycotters to have an impact, so when I say "you" I mean the entire r/kirkland subreddit) and the futility of your efforts (ya aint gonna change anybody's mind, but you will most likely entrench them). I can't tell you what to do, but I can let you know how stupid and futile it is.I think you misread. I pointed out the harm a boycott would do to businesses - not only the target's business but affiliated businesses and employees. And while it could include my business, the point I was making is the interconnectivity of all of us in this community. So how much collateral damage do you think is acceptable to punish someone for legally and constitutionally exercising their right to vote?Again, boycott criminals, child male feminists, and real Nazis. But when one group of people tries to punish another group for voting in their own self-interest,... (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

If a business posts QANON or MAGA paraphernalia at this point in the game they are advertising that they support an openly fascist regime. Where do you draw the line? (0)

What do you think will happen? If you boycott Spud Fish & Chips* because the owner voted for Trump, which do you think is more likely:a - The owner sits in a dark room with a glass of scotch and re-assess his life and choices. He thinks, "wow, maybe I AM wrong and I shoulda voted for Kamala"b - as sales at Spud Fish and Chips take a 10% hit, he lays off two employees and reduces his orders from local food and supplies vendors. He has no idea why sales have dropped because all the people who disagree with him ARENT engaging with him - they're boycotting. All he knows is what FOX news tells him, and he blames it on Bob Ferguson's climate policies. * I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE OWNER OF SPUD VOTES! I'm just using him/her as an example. Anyway, boycott child male feminists. Boycott real, avowed racists and Nazis. But don't boycott people who are exercising their Constitutional right to have an opinion (no matter how misinformed it may be) and to vote on it. Because that's waaaayyy too close to firi... (2)

We sat in silence for 25 minutes before a live show this weekend because I didn't carry the conversation singlehandedly. When he speaks to me, I always respond and keep the conversation going as long as he does. I don't ask him his opinion, though, and I'm not letting a lack of knowledge on a subject deter me from sharing my opinions. Woo!

When you goon you're performing a political act and the way you coom says a lot about you, your values, and your place in a shared community. We need to take your views and considerations into account when designing a equitable future for our children. However, when it's time for COOM. There's no need for any of that. You don't even need clothes. Just bring your hands.

For centuries we've had debates on how to handle the powers of COOM. Some cultures let GOONERs run free, as you see with the Sentinelese. They live the perfect life for gooners. NAKED all day long. Boobas on display. No work, no insurance, no renewing medical aid schemes, no Alexander Forbes foundation, just coom. Other cultures have tried to hold back gooners, eventually these became traditions like marriage and with that, r*pe became illegal which changed the game for gooners forever. That began the evolutionary arms race between GOONERS and FEDS. And if that's not bad enough, you've got to worry about OPPs trying to take your GOONING customers from you bruh. You can't learn the coom hustle in school you've got to live this shit aint no textbooks on gooning like we goon in this b-word.

Nah but Imma keep it 100% wichu this site good ya'll lil bros doing ya'lls thang just don't get too big for your boots. And remember to pay respects to the fallen soldiers in prison, dead, we've lost a lot of good brothers to this goon shit for real. We need unity. Aight imma light this blunt and goon hard. Shit's good as frick yo. Can't stop gooning. How much do you goon?

Now lastly, you gotta remember we categorize our gooners as either: organized, disorganized and mixed. My organized gooners got COOM calenders and sheeit. they're all about that OPSEC because they're paranoid about the feds. Me? I'm a DISORGANIZED coomer. If I meet with the feds I'm gooning it out and until then, I'm gonna EJACULATE BLOOD WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

Stay cumming for real. And PIRATE your PORN DON'T PAY NOT ONE DIME SHARE THAT SHIT NEIGHBOR

Fascism is growing in the US and the World

MAGA is a rapidly advancing Fascist party

We all have seen the events at the inauguration and having different thoughts about what Elon did, but I want to point to what they are doing with policy rather than one moment.

Trump is an Authoritarian leader. He wants control of everything, media, education, the economy, global politics. There will never be a point where he will be satisfied.

Before you know it, project 2025 will not just be the lefts boogie man but an actual threat to our safety and civil rights.

Trump will continue to push the most radical right wing beliefs onto our country until he has full control. One thing at a time, MAGA as a party will tear down each law in favor of the rich and powerful.

MAGA thrives on misinfor.ation and the suppression of education, and it will only get worse. The more you people chose to ignore the more MAGA will take from us. First is was Row V Wade, then it will be birthright citizenship. What about marriage equality? Nothing is off the table for Trump anymore. He's made it clear, but for someone reason, his followers don't speak the same language and misconstrue the truth.

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/comments/1idqiwo/as_a_nonamerican_im_done_of_leftists_in_reddit/ma153gh/?context=8

Look, I wanted trump to win the election, but it wasn't because I think he's any kind of good guy. I know he's a whiny, loser pig, though I'm appreciating this more serious Trump over his last iteration..

I wanted Trump to win because I knew we needed some conservative counterbalance back. I'm not a leftist anymore, and it's because I don't agree with all of their positions. They are not my party when they refuse to capitulate to any sort of middle ground, so they have to be forced. I hope conservatives keep it cool, too, or else I'll have to stand against them all over again.

Our politics are not half as simple as they were 20 years ago. It was easy to be a leftist when conservative Christianity was forcing people to deny their own humanity. What I didn't know is that the left is just as capable of acting the same way.

CC is a dissertation on the black roots of country/Americana music. You should be happy it won then… (1)

I said studying something and releasing what you think that genre is, doesn't make it an effective representation of that genre. So you claiming it's a "dissertation" doesn't mean anything. I'm not even sure what makes you say that. What elements of black country do you hear? When I listen, it sounds like a pop artists rendition of what they think country is…. Because that's what it literally is. It has more modern pop elements than it does country. (0)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡🔘🔘

My bad, I didn't realize you would take that to mean those two elements alone are pop. That isn't what I meant.Well no duh. I didn't say take Beyoncé out. I mentioned Miley because Miley's vocals sound country. She has a drawl and grit. Not saying you have to have those particular elements but there are clearly vocal differences from a pop singer and a country singer. If Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, or Lainey Wilson sang a song without a twangy guitar or overly hokey lyrics you will still recognize it as country. That was my point. If I took Beyoncé song with just Beyoncé and no twangy guitar or Miley Cyrus… it would just sound like one of her pop songs. I really don't want to harp you anymore but I can't just ignore this lol. Just as a twangy guitar doesn't make a song country I don't think corny country sounding lyrics make a song country. I don't think Lil Nas X singing about a a horse makes him a country singer lol. It's a great song and is fun. But, to me, it lacks any depth... (1)

beyoncé has more of a drawl than miley though, like her accent has always been very strong. and mentioning lil nas x in the same sentence as this is crazy lol. his was obviously putting on a costume whereas hers could literally be a dissertation about the roots of country music. obviously i'm not saying every single song on the record is country nor is she suddenly intentionally singing with a southern accent, but i think if you're gonna critique any song on the album for having "corny country" lyrics it shouldn't be this one. texas hold em is right there😭as far as the "costume" i just think that's disingenuous. nowhere has she said "hey everyone now i'm a country singer or country artist" but if she did, so what? genres shouldn't be gatekept. it limits innovation. modern country is borrowing SO many other elements of so many other genres but nobody gets mad about that. post malone is a rapper and people are saying he should've won over her, so why can't she win? she made a country ... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡🔘🔘🔘

I feel so bad for the artists. It's an insult to their craft. (2)

Angriness: 😡😡🔘🔘🔘

I mean there is definitely a vibe of her using country like a costume. Studying country aspects and incorporating it into an album doesn't make the album any better. No more than a country artist studying R&B and releasing some corny album with corny lyrics. Like "this ain't Texas, ain't no hold em"? Come on… and that was the most popular song on the album. Like what metric are we using to call this good? (1)

Chris Stapleton's biggest song is an interpolation of an R&B song you know shit about music. Don't you listen to different genres of music wtf is the big deal if anyone wants to make different genres of music (1)
