Magatards: MagaBomber is a false flags, school shootings are a false flag, birtherism, info wars to magatards is basically a normal news org, deep state hysteria, pizza gate, q anon, secret Muslim caravans, secret Mexican caravans, cultural Marxists making our kids trans.
Lolol for real, I was surprised someone was asking about the MAGAs. Like, they're crazy af, no explanation needed really. But whatever is good for the drama of course ;)
You'd have to be a retard to deny that magatards aren't the kings of conspiracy theories. They turn literally everything into some kind of conspiracy. It's how they explain everything they don't like, and even some of the stuff they do like (muh 4d chess and qanon).
That's one thing compared the countless things that magatards have embraced. Our own President is a proponent of birtherism, millions of illegal votes for democrats, recently has gotten into George Soros fear-mongering, and has appeared on Info Wars praising Alex Jones.
or you could do 3 minutes worth of research to back up your claim instead of spewing bullshit that you hear on infowars and breitbart. Seriously, do this and you'll be smarter than the president.
Again, says you. He acts against US interests in terms of what you define to be US interests, except you have zero understanding of the US in terms of running a country.
Oh sorry, I didn't want to demean your 16 years of experience in this world. I'm sure it's super relevant and qualifies you to judge on how well a country is going.
Just because the leftists want to grind up healing crystals and snort them off the back of their new-age yoga chiropractor while preaching about the dangers of non-organic vaccines and the Russians doesn't means magatards don't also have a shitload of conspiracy-minded retards.
Liberals who want to elect politicians who’ll put into motion programs that’ll raise taxes to astronomical levels aren’t a threat to the way of life of ordinary people who don’t want their tax dollars being wasted on stupid shit
It mah right to take billy joe n joey bill outa dat der lieberal elumantry schewl an rayse dem as gawd intended! As fentanyl addicted illiterate rape pigs!!
Well, I mean charging them for health insurance and charging them if they don't get health insurance
well our exchanges failed and the republicans repealed the tax. I mean we removed pre-existing conditions which everyone wanted but we needed the tax to pass that.
No it is just that everyone can give their hot takes online.
How often in real life do political discussions ever come up at work or in line at starbucks? Almost never.
Plus the politically obsessed people can go online and easily find like minded people to screech about stuff with and also find willing combatants to argue with anytime of the day they want.
Their hot takes are shit though, not even any creativity. They aren't even claiming that they can only come to a common groubd because conservatives are too evil to actually care what other people think and liberals are angels who see the good in everyone.
Politics discussions happen all the time. They're isn't very muted and respectful because they're private conversations between friends. People aren't trying to score sick burns to impress their Twitter friends and they talking to someone they know.
The internet just breaks peoples brains. Anonymity + Audience just straight up breaks the human brain.
One of my coworkers is a super religious right wing trumptard who likes to just barely cross the line in bringing up politics at work more than he should. I don't really care because we're Canadian and he's a super nice guy who's good to work with.
I get that boxhead krauts like yourself think your model of the world works but other countries aren’t as stubborn as to murdering half their continents to prove a point.
There are plenty of centrist takes you can make here.
Libshits are wrong about: GMO’s being dangerous, transgenders competing against the sex they identify as in athletics, pushing trans identities on kids and giving them hormone blockers, driving the minimum wage up to a point that destroys smaller businesses but is elastic for larger companies, reducing police budgets while simultaneously demanding accountability features like body cams, shitting on nuclear energy, letting in tens of thousands of immigrants without thorough vetting, calling reduction in income taxes theft from the poor when even the poorest income earners get tax cuts, letting college kangaroo courts make decisions in lieu of law enforcement, believe all women even if the accusation is clearly false, thinking UBI is feasible and that automation will destroy jobs rather than disrupt them, and complaining about corporate power but then sucking corporate cock when said corporations shit on conservatives.
Conservashits are wrong about: tax cuts fixing everything and don’t reduce federal budget, Jesus will come to your bed and rape you if you don’t repent, believing in freedom of religion except when it comes to Muslims, thinking every immigrant coming in from the south is a cartel invader, ignoring renewable energy sources and sticking with coal, denying that the climate is changing, whining about being censored on private platforms, thinking free trade between countries is a globalist scheme, hoarding gold because fiat is worthless paper, increasing defense budget to the point where shit like humvees just sit around never being used, thinking minimum wage is commie shit, crying about weed, the gays are evil and want to indoctrinate your children, electing an orange retard to own the libs epic style.
There is no objectively correct group, imagine not being a moderate/centrist and voting straight ticket because you think one party is always right.
increasing defense budget to the point where shit like humvees just sit around never being used
Talking about what the army wastes and you go for humvees? Man...you've got no idea how bad it is. Just yesteday we blew up 30 sim grenades, shot 80 grenades from grenade launchers, and burned 10 smoke grenades...because we'd have to guard it over the weekend until we turned it in if there was any left. That was easily $20k down the drain because we didn't want to guard it on a four day weekend.
I could go on for days because there's a ton more.
Canadian troop take I got was "the US soldiers get paid shit but their kit is amazing, our kit is shit but our pay is much better, during peace time I would rather have the pay then the better kit."
It's definitely not that bad. Almost nobody has an M16 in an infantry unit, everyone has lasers, everyone has night vision (and some have thermals), and most units have ACOGs for their rifles.
They're about the same except for the adjustable stock and better (imo) rail system. It looks and feels out of place on an M16 but not on an M4. The M4 is also like six inches shorter which is really nice.
A HMMWV can be a huge waste of money even when it's actively being used, though. Price of a Porsche, gas mileage and handling of a steamroller, comfort of a prison cell.
driving the minimum wage up to a point that destroys smaller businesses but is elastic for larger companies
Minimum wage needs to go up. When people are working 3 jobs to make rent with roommates something is wrong.
calling reduction in income taxes theft from the poor when even the poorest income earners get tax cuts
The "tax cuts" amount to ~$2/week increase in take home at twice minimum wage while reducing government spending on social services like food stamps that help the poor. It is good for the rich and bad for the poor.
thinking UBI is feasible and that automation will destroy jobs rather than disrupt them
Automation is raising the skill floor for employment so people are less and less likely to make a livable wage with High School or GED education. I don't think UBI is feasible or necessary right now, but eventually I think it will have to be.
[Conservatives] whining about being censored on private platforms
Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc. are basically the public squares of the digital age and, personally, I think they should be able to say whatever they want on these platforms and be protected by the first amendment. Similar to some products no longer being a trademarkable name due to how popular they are.
Not disagreeing on the minimum wage, it’s just too often that a minimum wage proposal is brought up to a level that is higher than what may be reasonable and would be utterly horrible for areas with lower costs of living. $15-20 an hour is suitable for more metropolitan areas, but that kind of mandate across a state or the country only harms poorer areas.
In all fairness, being a small government conservative is about reducing the federal budget. The point is for less reliance on federal government and more independence for state and local governments. The problem comes when they cut taxes and then don't cut a similar amount of government spending.
Free trade is good until it isn't when certain countries violate all of their trade agreements.
Minimum wage isn't commie shit but it's a bad idea. You yourself noted the bad effects of increasing minimum wage (rising unemployment, reduced hours/benefits, etc.)
I think Republican/conservative thought around gays/weed/climate change is shifting, especially with the New Right.
Here's how your mental process is supposed to work. "I like my opinions and believe I'm right but I believe this guy is wrong. But why is he wrong? It's not simply because I know I'm right because that's not a solid argument. So I guess I'll hear him out a bit so I can try and at least understand why he thinks differently than I do and can at least argue with others like him better." If you come at it like that sometimes you'll find that maybe your positions weren't as strong as you liked or you'll strengthen the opinions you already hold. Either way you grow. These asshats don't understand any of that.
I respect anyone who disagrees with me, as long as their disagreement isn't based on hero worship of 45 and his white nationalist platform of racism and isolationism.
The reason America’s history of racism & sexism is so insidious is precisely that perpetrators are also people who love their kids & have hobbies. We can’t excuse their ignorant or malicious attitudes because of broad commonality. The most evil men in history loved their mothers.
It's pretty good. I hadn't realized it before, but the folks who disagree with me politically really are wrong.
Not just factually wrong, or ignorant, or misled to draw conclusions that don't follow: ethically wrong, morally wrong, wicked--evil--trash and refuse wearing the outward appearance of a real human being, like me and those who agree with me.
Should we do this when a sports team wins? Only wear their jerseys and gear? I appreciate your idea of banding together as one, but when it comes to values and beliefs I do not think that would be a wise course of action. We can not come together as some hive mind and say "ok we all support what this person believes and values."
The same happened on a /r/BlackPeopleTwitter thread recently that was later locked down. The photo had the same message but all top comments were attacking the message because "conservatives are too extreme and my anecdote proves it".
Okay. I still don't know what these individuals even believe in or want, aside from what can be presumed from their political stances/ideologies. Shit, call me insane but maybe people aren't actually the political spectrum they've placed themselves in.
I get that the focus here is on the comments that follow, but I have no idea whatsoever if there was anything to glean or learn from the article itself, lol.
I think I misinterpreted this. I thought you were gonna call me a faggot and it be like the South Park “I’m not your buddy, guy” “I’m not your guy, friend” “I’m not your friend, buddy” thing. My apologies. I’m old and new to Reddit
Ugh what the fuck am I supposed to do. Rightoids are retards - but these people are pathetic and embarrassing. How am I expected to call myself liberal when these fragile paltroon's exist?
I think we should have The Purge for reals except we should ban weapon restrictions. If you can afford it, you can use it. Hopefully someone can nuke the US.

No it is just that everyone can give their hot takes online.
How often in real life do political discussions ever come up at work or in line at starbucks? Almost never.
Plus the politically obsessed people can go online and easily find like minded people to screech about stuff with and also find willing combatants to argue with anytime of the day they want.
1 aqouta 2018-11-09
Their hot takes are shit though, not even any creativity. They aren't even claiming that they can only come to a common groubd because conservatives are too evil to actually care what other people think and liberals are angels who see the good in everyone.

The hottest takes start of as pure trash and then come around to being woke
1 IllegitimateLiteracy 2018-11-09
Politics discussions happen all the time. They're isn't very muted and respectful because they're private conversations between friends. People aren't trying to score sick burns to impress their Twitter friends and they talking to someone they know.
The internet just breaks peoples brains. Anonymity + Audience just straight up breaks the human brain.

I get that boxhead krauts like yourself think your model of the world works but other countries aren’t as stubborn as to murdering half their continents to prove a point.
There are plenty of centrist takes you can make here.
Libshits are wrong about: GMO’s being dangerous, transgenders competing against the sex they identify as in athletics, pushing trans identities on kids and giving them hormone blockers, driving the minimum wage up to a point that destroys smaller businesses but is elastic for larger companies, reducing police budgets while simultaneously demanding accountability features like body cams, shitting on nuclear energy, letting in tens of thousands of immigrants without thorough vetting, calling reduction in income taxes theft from the poor when even the poorest income earners get tax cuts, letting college kangaroo courts make decisions in lieu of law enforcement, believe all women even if the accusation is clearly false, thinking UBI is feasible and that automation will destroy jobs rather than disrupt them, and complaining about corporate power but then sucking corporate cock when said corporations shit on conservatives.
Conservashits are wrong about: tax cuts fixing everything and don’t reduce federal budget, Jesus will come to your bed and rape you if you don’t repent, believing in freedom of religion except when it comes to Muslims, thinking every immigrant coming in from the south is a cartel invader, ignoring renewable energy sources and sticking with coal, denying that the climate is changing, whining about being censored on private platforms, thinking free trade between countries is a globalist scheme, hoarding gold because fiat is worthless paper, increasing defense budget to the point where shit like humvees just sit around never being used, thinking minimum wage is commie shit, crying about weed, the gays are evil and want to indoctrinate your children, electing an orange retard to own the libs epic style.
There is no objectively correct group, imagine not being a moderate/centrist and voting straight ticket because you think one party is always right.

Talking about what the army wastes and you go for humvees? Man...you've got no idea how bad it is. Just yesteday we blew up 30 sim grenades, shot 80 grenades from grenade launchers, and burned 10 smoke grenades...because we'd have to guard it over the weekend until we turned it in if there was any left. That was easily $20k down the drain because we didn't want to guard it on a four day weekend.
I could go on for days because there's a ton more.
1 EasySchmitty 2018-11-09
I read an article a while back about a bunch of vehicles sitting around since the budget was so cushy.
Wish I had a huge budget to waste by blowing shit up like that tbh

We have a bunch of vehicles sitting around too, but that's mainly because they're fucking broken as fuck and we can't fix them.

It's definitely not that bad. Almost nobody has an M16 in an infantry unit, everyone has lasers, everyone has night vision (and some have thermals), and most units have ACOGs for their rifles.

How are M4s compared to M16s?
1 oss_spy 2018-11-09
They're about the same except for the adjustable stock and better (imo) rail system. It looks and feels out of place on an M16 but not on an M4. The M4 is also like six inches shorter which is really nice.
1 LightUmbra 2018-11-09
I wish I could have either, but I don't have 50-100K to throw away for a transferable AR or M16.

1 Automaticus 2018-11-09
I actually liked your take.
1 jimmahdean 2018-11-09
I agree with you on most points, however:
Minimum wage needs to go up. When people are working 3 jobs to make rent with roommates something is wrong.
The "tax cuts" amount to ~$2/week increase in take home at twice minimum wage while reducing government spending on social services like food stamps that help the poor. It is good for the rich and bad for the poor.
Automation is raising the skill floor for employment so people are less and less likely to make a livable wage with High School or GED education. I don't think UBI is feasible or necessary right now, but eventually I think it will have to be.
Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc. are basically the public squares of the digital age and, personally, I think they should be able to say whatever they want on these platforms and be protected by the first amendment. Similar to some products no longer being a trademarkable name due to how popular they are.

Not disagreeing on the minimum wage, it’s just too often that a minimum wage proposal is brought up to a level that is higher than what may be reasonable and would be utterly horrible for areas with lower costs of living. $15-20 an hour is suitable for more metropolitan areas, but that kind of mandate across a state or the country only harms poorer areas.
1 captainpriapism 2018-11-09
we have like 19 an hour here and it mainly affects services that employ people for min wage like fast food
other shit is high priced obviously but for different reasons

In all fairness, being a small government conservative is about reducing the federal budget. The point is for less reliance on federal government and more independence for state and local governments. The problem comes when they cut taxes and then don't cut a similar amount of government spending.
Free trade is good until it isn't when certain countries violate all of their trade agreements.
Minimum wage isn't commie shit but it's a bad idea. You yourself noted the bad effects of increasing minimum wage (rising unemployment, reduced hours/benefits, etc.)
I think Republican/conservative thought around gays/weed/climate change is shifting, especially with the New Right.

1 Anarcho_Autism 2018-11-09
Wow, that was pretty comprehensive.

Here's how your mental process is supposed to work. "I like my opinions and believe I'm right but I believe this guy is wrong. But why is he wrong? It's not simply because I know I'm right because that's not a solid argument. So I guess I'll hear him out a bit so I can try and at least understand why he thinks differently than I do and can at least argue with others like him better." If you come at it like that sometimes you'll find that maybe your positions weren't as strong as you liked or you'll strengthen the opinions you already hold. Either way you grow. These asshats don't understand any of that.
