I was gonna yell, but this has to be satire.

Nevertheless, I must tap the sign, just in case anybody really believes that fascists' minds can be changed by debate:

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Quote is from Jean-Paul Sartre

You've become a person who puts the pleasure of others above your own delicate sensabilities. Congratulations on not being prude 🎉

Looks like if the muppets had to come up with a cosmic horror.

I recently switched to TIDAL as a stop gap to ahem other options, and I'm relatively pleased.

My biggest gripe is it doesn't let your search your playlists when adding songs on the phone app.

It's not the best option, but at least they pay artists a little more.

Those little butt sprayers are great! It must be absolute bliss to clean your bottom while watching that view.

If you didn't want to be surrounded by other people, you should have thought of that before being born on a planet full of people.

Haha, yeah they sure did a number on the heavily armed, militarized Nepal Police! Then after that all of the heavily armed radicalized civilians fell like dominoes!

Oh wait, they don't have any of that. Must have made their job much easier.

I feel that difference exists for every ideology, though. Like a terminally online socialist or communist are also full of impotent, misguided rage.

Speaking from experience, when a terminally online inset -ist ideology here shows up for their first in person meeting, they usually require some amount of reframing.

He can play a different character?

What anarchists talk about cleansing? Are you referring to the dictatorship of the proletariat in Leninism?

You can't just make things up about an ideology and then argue like the thing you made up is true and well known. That makes you exactly like the meme you're making fun of.

If you think the USSR wasn't, then you're not actually smarter for thinking that, you've just fallen for another country's propaganda.

I feel like dead internet theory comes from the right's refusal to acknowledge the popularity of leftism online.

 

IDK why, but this idea helps me sleep at night.
