It's a shame those evil, stupid, unwashed masses are so evil and stupid! Not like us enlightened and educated people who voted for a Cheney loving genocidal cop. Wow they really do think the US has ever been some kind of beacon of freedom and democracy. I legit feel bad for this person. They actually want to fight for their rights in some way and they're being patronized and finger waggled for it.

"Do not dare question the system. The system is perfect. There is no alternative. To fight the system is to be just like those looney extremists. To sit back and let the world crumble to dust because of a paper that rich slave owners made hundreds of years ago is the only sane and normal option. You are a stupid child who deserves to be mocked for thinking otherwise."

Lmao. Yeah remember when we killed some arab dude that we funded to stop communists and that totally solved all our problems? Let's do the same with the Russian dude we funded to stop communists.

When the worst thing about your enemy winning is you might have to learn a language that isn't English. (This is a weird boomer form of xenophobia I've encountered before. When I was a kid my mom used to always say "if we didn't win WW2 we'd all be speaking Japanese right now. As if that's the worst thing about losing lmao.)

Biggest path out of liberalism is simply finding out you have principles you think are worth standing up for, and they do not.

The absolute failure of imagination is incredible to witness.

Reminds me of a Matt Colville video recently about the Candide character Professor Pangloss. I think it's supposed to be about game design (since he's a D&D YouTuber who is currently designing a TTRPG game) but it ends up feeling extremely relevant to this political moment as well. I mean, the first thing I thought of when I watched the video was the lack of imagination of libs to consider a better system is possible, but then I'm stuck in this space so I'm thinking of politics all the time like a weirdo.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

"if we didn't win WW2 we'd all be speaking Japanese right now.

You're from Australia, right? What a funny bit of localization for that old cliche. In the US the line is typically "we'd all be speaking German." Or was anyway, I haven't heard it in like 15 years

It's complicated but let's just say I'm from the south oceanic region. Lol. And yeah it is wild. Yeah I only remember hearing it when I was like 7

I have never once read the words "and pray tell" without immediately picturing sharp gauntleted fingers plunging through eye sockets and into brain tissue. There's being condescending, and then there's just public masturbation.

The last time this place was posted here, I clicked on a thread with a story about a cop helping some guy, and everyone in the thread agreed that not all cops are bad blob-no

This is one of the places, though probably the main one, that radicalized me away from the Democratic party during the Obama/Clinton primary. It had been one of the three or four places that I checked out daily and read the posts pretty thoroughly. The racist vibes that were allowed to fester when Clinton and Obama were running for the presidency turned me off super hard.
