At this point, most boomer voters don't even give a fuck about immigration. That ship has sailed. They say things like "Thank God I won't be around in 30 years," implying that they're happy they won't be around to deal with the fate they helped create for you and me.
At this point, American boomer voters just want Trump to magically lower the price of eggs and gasoline. They don't really care what else happens. When/if he doesn't lower the price of those things, they will simply blame the democrats.
Started off with a BANG—a Peet's "Big Bang" K-Cup in the Keurig. Had with a lightly (some might say perfectly) toasted everything bagel topped with a bit of ape oil and simian salt.
A bit later, I brewed up a Starbucks "Veranda Blend" K-Cup in the Keurig and sipped this down. I imagine a veranda would be a very dramatic location to get shot. Don't shoot me, though. The only shot I want is a shot of espresso.
You were a groyper from way back. One of the originals. Your content and posts were always funny and cheered me up. You were always a positive, funny guy and were always nice to me, even when I was in the dumps. You always supported stuff I did and seemed to genuinely love our little community of friends.
I noticed I hadn't seen you around lately, and figured you were taking a break. I hope I wasn't taking you for granted. It sounds like you were much the same in real life, a positive influence on everyone. You will be greatly missed, my friend. You will not be forgotten.
Matt Walsh and the conservatives like him are poison, they want to replace one type of bland garbage with another type of bland garbage. They're essentially two sides of the same coin. Imagine if Matt Walsh was the guy who could choose which books you could read? Which movies you could see?
@judgedread Yeah, I think Trump will do almost nothing in his second term if he wins. His main goals will be staying out of legal trouble and golfing. He won't be some firebrand, the exact opposite, and he will be very susceptible to being taken advantage of by Democrats. I can definitely see him leaning towards a lot of centrist positions that "bring the country together" since he so desperately wants to be liked by everyone, including Dems in Congress. He'll be the ultimate bozo.
@SoylentGroyper@judgedread Well that's also part of the issue when you remove race and culture from the picture. The U.S. used to have quota systems, and while I never dug too deep into it, it seemed to be working out pre-1970s, as the U.S. was almost 90% white for its entire run up until then.
Even with violence against whites from nonwhites being constantly exposed, you will still see rightwingers go out of their way to say it's "not about race" before anyone else.
Despite what happened in 2016, the framework for the right and the GOP is still "race doesn't matter" for some bizarre reason. I think it has shifted a bit, but it ebbs and flows because faggot boomers and nu-boomers (like conservatives in their 20s that walk around in a suit and bow tie or some shit) will constantly push back against race realism. So that's why when you bring up the European immigrant issue that you just did, people ON THE RIGHT will be like "Why does that matter?"
I came up with the word "Groyper" as an online handle in early 2015. It started on /r9k/ when I made a thread where I started trolling women on reddit's dating subreddit. I simply wanted to make a name that sounded very trollish, like a gremlin/virus. So I randomly came up with the name. Anyway, many laughs were had. But I stopped using the name after that.
Then, I was on twitter in 2016 as a random wojak poster. Eventually, I was banned, and when I came back, I decided to dust off the "Groyper" handle and use Easter Toad as my avi. People were really intrigued by my name and it stuck as my online identity. In 2017, my account picked up steam on twitter, and one of my friends on there rebranded as @Professor_Groyper as a joke, but it stuck for him too, and he became a known account.
Eventually, by the end of 2017, it exploded in popularity and you saw different types of groypers everywhere. 2017 was a huge year for us, I was getting millions of twitter impressions every month. It was around this time I became mutuals with Nick on twitter, we didn't talk much but were friendly towards each other.
Fast-forward a bit and Nick has become very popular. A lot of his fans were also groypers, and he'd joke that he was being groyped and groypers were harassing him. Eventually, when trolling Charlie Kirk, he decided to use the "Groyper Army" thing, which I actually didn't mind. I supported the whole thing because I thought it was funny and wasn't trying to "protect" the word or anything.
Then I noticed Nick randomly unfollowed me on twitter around this time and clearly wanted to distance himself from me and my friends (the people that made all the funny groyper memes). I joked about this, he took it personal and blocked me, and his followers instantly became hostile towards us. I didn't play into the drama, but did not appreciate him rebranding "groyper" to mean anyone who pledged loyalty to him, and I thought a lot of the political artwork and memes they spewed were gay and narrow in scope.
Fast-forward to now, and I haven't been paying attention to him or his fanbase and don't care too much. I don't play into the drama and I don't hate someone for being a Nick fan (a lot of Nicker Groypers are friendly to me). But Groyper is my online handle and has been since 2015 really. I came up with the name and it rules. It just sucks that everywhere I go, people act hostile towards me and assume I'm associated with Fuentes.
If you'd like proof, check the sign-up date on my gab profile: gab.com/groyper, which says I joined in October 2016. I also have a Fightcade account that says I joined in June 2017 and graf has verified me on here and knows me from twitter.
@CozyPuPP This actually made me more mad than anything. People who HAVE been supporting his site had their friends chased away with a broom and now have far lower engagement over there because of it.
@graf@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP Only issue I noticed was me posting a hi-res video and it having trouble loading, but IDK enough about how your site does video compression to even address it lmao. Really my fault for not compressing it first since I figured there would be a more aggressive compression automatically. Most lower res vids I've seen load fine. Other than that everything seems smooth, thankful and glad to have this site.
@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP I really think Torba is focused on new gimmicks with AI and stuff and just sees the social site as dead weight. I feel like this was his way to squeeze money out of nice people that trusted him before the place is folded up entirely.
If he really wanted to save the site with funding, there were 1000 better ways to do it. Better appeals to raise funds, better compromises and rewards, etc. I would have likely stayed there if the ability to post lower res images stayed intact for free users, and I likely would have considered upgrading for the ability to post videos, since that matters to me.
Yet, the site has had bugs and bad functionality now for a couple of years, problems that were never addressed. The way he abruptly announced this and then absolutely SHIT on his users made it pretty clear he just wanted us to leave.
His attitude and deception pissed me off far more than losing my ability to post images. He shit on my friends, some of the nicest and most generous people I've known online, and he basically nuked and shattered entire communities because he's an egotistical faggot.
