@cowanon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @Honkers @WhitestTemplar Being a self loathing weirdo did have its upsides. Like not being part of any group, therefore not being subject to that group's pressure to conform. I had a lot of disdain for myself, and that spilled over into having a lot of disdain for others and the stupid things they did. The power of "it's all bullshit" kept me isolated, but it also kept me from being a conformist.

@Nils It would be funny because I want to hear you complain about him over the coming years. The German one could be entertaining since he's supposed to be conservative and German, meaning it might make the German technocrats a bit dyspeptic. But ultimately it should be the American, because I want to see the entire world freak out over a Trump-like figure as head of the church.

@judgedread @p Saw a shrunken monkey head a flea market once years ago. Always regretted not buying it.

@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Simpadoo We suck, yeah, but come on. The UK has more people in prison for saying naughty words on the net than Russia does. They arrested and tried to put a woman in prison for silently praying. Germany sends SWAT teams around the country to raid homes of people who say unpermitted things online. I don't know of any country were you can be proud of it any more or feel safe. Are there any "free" countries any more?

@KidKnievel There was a show way back in the 70's, it was basically the Newly Wed Game, the contestants consisted of three people teams: a husband, his wife, and his secretary. It was basically asking the women if he had ever done X with the other woman. Damned thing was more or less designed to instigate divorces for the audience's amusement. I think it only lasted 1 or 2 seasons.

@BowsacNoodle Give it a Terminator style energy source that last 120 years, and you have the beginnings of a decent post apocalyptic story. The old joke was most players of fantasy role playing games and of fantasy movies treat horses like meat motorcycles. With this they finally could.

@Humpleupagus @James_Dixon @KarlDahl @PraxisOfEvil @TrevorGoodchild @deprecated_ii I always thought that line best represented the evil of the machines in that movie. It represents the basic anti-human impulse that lies at the foundation of all leftoid thought.

@TrevorGoodchild @KarlDahl @PraxisOfEvil @deprecated_ii As someone with no training in economics, "line must always go up" has the feeling of a sweaty, jittery junkie casting about for his next fix. Getting clean can suck, but it's always worth it.

@cowanon @nihilvt @The_Almighty_Kek I remember a history teacher telling us one day that in earlier times, Greeks, Romans, and others thought that having a crush, falling madly in love and getting married because you were madly in love was considered a kind of madness and a kind of curse. I didn't understand that then. It just didn't compute. Wasn't that the only reason to get married.
It's only in my later years having learned more of history and human nature that lesson began to make sense. Historically most marriages were arranged to one degree or another, or at least the parents had a great deal of say over who married who. Love often came later, after time spent together, after the couple had struggled and overcame difficulties together.

@BowsacNoodle Also if they're really raising the H1B1 application fee from $10 to $210 and limiting it to one application at a time per Indian, that would go a long way to stemming the tide of jeet slave labor.
Every time I'm about to get kind of black pill on the Orange Goofball, a little something comes out that makes me say, "OK, I might be able to work with this."

@p @skylar @judgedread -Opening crawl: "First of all, fuck Kathleen Kennedy ..."
-Beginning 25 minutes are just scenes of Leia like slave girls
-15 minute of an almost Mad Max like chase scene involving droids, bounty hunters, sith, and jedi
-"OK, now that we've cleansed the palate, let's proceed with movies based on the Zahn novels."

@cowanon @EvolLove @Littletoad Is there someone they haven't historically hated? Seems everyone they came in contact with became Amalek at some point or another: Greeks, Romans, Europeans in general, Muslims, Russians, Americans, etc.

@Umlaut Too fat, too old, too lazy, and most of all he realized he wrote himself into a corner. He can't bring the thing to a satisfying conclusion without betraying his initial vision. You can't really make a story people will end up being happy with if you're a perverted, bitter materialist with a hate boner for Christianity and Tolkien.
He set out to make a story that refuted ideas like honor, bravery, objective good and evil, a story with "real" politics and "real" people, where the only thing is power and people striving for it. The result was a story about awful people doing awful things, where everyone dies or is fucked over, but people stupid enough to try and be honorable die and are fucked first and hardest. No karma, no real justice, no possibility of grace. You can't make and conclude a fantasy story where all the characters are shitty people and no one pays for being shitty in a way that makes the reader happy with it. Fantasy readers want adventure and wonder and drama, sure, but they also either want a hero, or at least see the bad guy pay for being bad.
I think Rape Rape Martin realized this by the time he finished the last book he wrote, and it was really driven home by seeing what the TV people did with the story. His world only has villains and fools, both of whom drown in blood, and you can't end on a satisfying note with those.

@grey A career in "foreign development" means he helped corrupt foreign officials obtain US taxpayer money our corrupt politicians showered across the world so it so some of it could be funneled back to them or their friends. The man is little better than a jumped up pimp or money launderer. My sympathy, like my fucks, are completely exhausted.

@Jonny Every tweaker is on his way to the nearest Home Depot with a smartphone and ICE on speed dial as we speak. Snitching on illegals is a lot safer and easier hustle than identity theft and check fraud.

@ThatWouldBeTelling @Honkers The scale of an antifag riot depends largely on funding from rich Team A players. The level of such riots, whether on Inauguration day or later in Trump's term, will be a useful metric with which to measure the system's level of active resistance to the Big Orange Goof.
I suspect there will be only a relatively few diehard antifags out that day. Most of the money men seem to be laying low right now, or even playing ball.
