User Banned (2 Weeks): Antisemitic Dog-Whistle

Every politician that clapped is a soulless ghoul. Dam near a Nazi fascist apologist. I don't know how no one in that audience felt any immense shame for allowing him to speak lies at that podium. Rashid Tlaib is braver than all of us for being the lone protester in that room. I get so mad thinking about this.

Fuck Netanyahu.

She's the only person with a soul in that entire room.

Fuck all the other demons clapping for their master.

I genuinely wonder if Fat4all has ever made another human laugh in their entire life.

Like, I think he would actually shit himself in terror if he finished a sentence and someone made that foreign noise.

I am coming up empty on examples, so my source is "trust me, bro". But he used to be kind of funny? I remember sensibly chuckling at a post or two.

His whole brand has shifted from taco bell/flamin' hot junk food obsessed dog to like...gay drunk guy who is an extremely online leftist??? People still pretend he's the junk food dog but he doesn't.

blame space got permanently banned for fat4all to fail his legacy

Some of you are really setting yourselves up for disappointment.

It's still the best case scenario and one that all the neolib trash around here was claiming would be disastrous because they needed to have their genocidal white cunt in power. Sure, it will still be an awful country exporting death all over but any decrease in the amount of suffering they export is good news for everybody. Wishing all the success for this duo.

User banned (1 month): Transphobic rhetoric

Am I missing something? I didn't want to come across as toxic and thought there was something else going on.

Mocking an Olympic athlete who was concerned for their own safety in an event is pretty obviously offensive. No one who isn't a boxer, referee, or sports physician should be speaking on this issue with any authority. Due to the safety issues it can present, gender parity in contact sports is a much more complicated issue than in non-contact sports.

This may be a discussion that warrants its own thread rather than litigated in here.

I can't specifically elucidate why it feels like Bad Form

but it does - beyond the superfluousness of knowing meatspace details when their cyberspace existence is already so rich in mockability.

I guess it feels like going a step further than just passing commentary into something more actively engaged in, which nudges things more into personal grudge / caught feelings than just internet shit talking / not that deep.
Like the difference between remembering dumb shit certain posters have done / said and being able to recall it versus writing up dossiers on google docs litigating a bunch of imagined personal slights, you know?

I'm not holding myself up as a moral paragon, just feels like there is a line that I might not be exactly sure where it starts, but have a sense it might be crossed. Its also muddy because you might not have malice doing the legwork, but we know from how stufte got treated there are absolutely unhinged era posters that would happily weaponise info because of a grudge.

[Eric Cartman]

It's funny, because they're not even talking about whether Dr Doom being Romani matters...it's a Romani actor they want to represent him that they think matters.  It's even more nonsensical.

Does anybody else watch The Atheist Experience? I know it got splintered by a transphobia controversy exodus last summer but I have no idea about the details. I'm just watching old videos.

Has anybody else have the experience of becoming an atheist or "deconverting"? How did you deal with the fear of hell, turning your back on God, apostasy, isolation/loneliness, and other issues bubbling up once you start engaging your "doubts" about faith? I'm looking forward to how my life can open up a new at 28 years old without having to care about religion anymore.

if you're an atheist you're inherently not worried about that shit, for the exact same reason you don't worry about not getting christmas presents if you dont believe in santa

It's not related to his religion but this is still one of my favorite Nothing Loud posts:

Moved here from Texas after being in Texas my whole life of 28 years.

Convinced me that WA is the best state with the US' best current attempt at progressivism (minus the taxing scheme, but yay no income tax) and TX was basically a legalized white evangelical nationalist cesspool of incarceration and too much wasted space and flat ugliness where I wasted 3 decades of my life.

Bonus: the OP of that thread and post #82.

hachikoma bought a Ruger 10/22 .22lr

(I got a .22lr because it's the least dangerous caliber; I got a rifle because it's harder to hurt yourself with than a pistol.)

But since I want it to defend myself and my community if it comes to it, a full length rifle is not the most practical thing in the world. So I got a bullpup chassis to make it shorter and more maneuverable, and when I get it back from the coating shop it's gonna look like this:

As a gun guy all I got to say is.......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

They dressed up a fuckin' .22 rifle. It's like saying you bought a wiffle ball bat to defend yourself and your community. It's better than nothing and it stings when you get hit with one but there are far better choices. They should of spent that money on a AR-15 insted of putting all that junk on it and the trans paint job.

The only difference between this and an AR-15, really, is an AR-15 can, but doesn't have to, shoot larger bullets.

You don't need to buy a Barrett 50 cal. but my man, .22 is way too weak if this is for some "End of the World Mad Max" type shit. 

If they bought a .22 to get good at shooting they made a great choice. It's ammo is real cheap, so you can plink all day without spending $$$. But the AR or even a heavier cheap 7.62 AK would have made more sense. Both of those are ubiquitous with plenty of cheap parts that are plentiful.

Hachikoma, you are a moron. If your confidence in guns reflects your confidence and knowledge in other areas, you need to shut up. 

For your gun expertise I'll give you.....

  out of 5 Derps. Perfect score!!!

Edit:
For the record I own a 12 gauge pump shotgun (unloaded) and a .38 S&W revolver that stays loaded. I sold off all my other shit and kept those for the home defence role. You can leave the revolver loaded and not worry about jamming and if I have time to load the shotgun thats a good one to scare away most people when you rack it and point it at their face. Lol 

The .38 doesn't have the best stopping power but with hollow points it isn't too bad. I've seen too many semi autos jam after the first shot. Especially if you leave them lying around too long loaded because of mag spring fatiuge etc. There isn't any reason to have much more because if shit has gone so sideways that thats not enough I'm in more trouble than just a home invasion.

Yeah, hachikoma is a fucking retard and buying a .22 for "self-defence" is moronic. Buying a rifle for self-defence is pretty stupid, period.

That's what I've been trying to say. Era and Dems falls for it every damn time.

Dems aren't falling for it. Just the Era doomers are.

Dems aren't falling apart, saying that Trump had a massive victory today, just the Era doomers are.

Dems weren't calling Donald so cool for getting shot, just the Era Doomers were.

Let's not correlate the Democrats, with the dumbest people on here.

It doesn't take much for them to want cops to start outlawing speech by citizens, especially if they can smear it with xenophobia (along with free bad legal takes):

Like Bowman, she was targeted by AIPAC. She was a vocal critic of Israel Gaza offensive. Kinda crazy that these Zionist groups have such sway in American politics. Insane. Targeting anyone that doesn't agree with the current military offensive.

They went after the weaker progressives and still had to spend so much. Going after politicians critical of Israeli is nothing new but it's unsustainable because the apartheid state and the endless illegal settler expansion is unsustainable itself. In the U.S. Israel escapes a lot of judgement but globally it's heating up. The nature of a country that is never reigned in, is to over step time and time again and eventually jump the shark. Israel jumped the shark with the genocide and now their reputation is generationally cooked as they have eyes on them like never before.

So AIPAC can celebrate taking out two progressives but Israel actually needs critics or they run amok and hurt themselves. A parent needs to stop their kid from eating too much candy or they get sick and right now there is a growing sickness in the Israeli government that their supplier, the U.S. needs to reign in.

"Yeah it sucks that a lobby for a foreign nation poured over 8 million dollars into unseating a candidate who was critical of that country's ongoing genocidal actions, but…."

How is it legal to lobby for the interests of a foreign country?

Does that happen anywhere else in the world?

Seems crazy to me.

Partly due to the Supreme Court. Money is speech, didn't you know?

Basically this.

It should be terrifying to everyone that an entity that prioritizes a foreign country's interests was leading this, regardless of whether she was doing a good job or not.

Fuck AIPAC

Making a corporation a person is also insane as well.

But maybe we are just a crazy ass country.

Why is this not in the thread?

I don't quite know where I rank them thinking the norm across the entire world is something weird only America does but it's pretty high on my list.

we did it reddit

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/07/cori-bush-defeat-primary-democrats-progressives/

Tuesday morning, progressives were delighted with Vice President Kamala Harris’s decision to pick Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Walz is a fairly traditional Democrat, nowhere near as left-wing as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York or independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. But many progressives were pushing for Walz instead of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who has taken more conservative stands on many issues and been very critical of campus protests of Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

It’s not clear exactly why Harris chose Walz over Shapiro. (Her aides have suggested that Harris and the Minnesota governor developed a strong personal connection and that the vice president liked Walz’s background as a high school teacher and veteran.) But she also likely wanted to avoid irritating the party’s left wing by picking Shapiro. So although the left didn’t get one of its champions on the ticket, it exercised something of a veto. That’s progressive power.

I feel like, objectively, ukraine didnt send combatants into russia. Whereas hamas did.

Russia have occupied and attacked ukraine just like israel has been doing to the palestinans for decades.

It never started with hamas. If anything the response coming from any palestinain faction is in response to israels warcrimes, occupation and land theft just like russia is doing to the ukrainians.

I got the feeling that Putin is pretty okay with this narrative.  

If I remember correctly, Ukraine initially wanted peace agreements with Putin until they realized he was full of shit.

[Boredfrom]

It is fucking frustrating they still downplay October 7 as some sort of “justified response”, like WTF you are going to accomplish by denying that outside of defending your shitty friend group political takes.

It doesn’t help the people that you (presumably) want to help and doesn’t change the minds of the people you disagree with you outside the Progressive/Propaganda bubble.

But Putin's claim is that it's Russian territory no matter what the UN and the West says and he's against a two-state solution because it was stolen from them?
