Propaganda is the reason the word took on that meaning.

RFK Jr in the HHS be like

Yeah, this is preventable as fuck

Drop it

All I can do is joke about it because my feelings about it are too angry to express.

One of the earliest things I can remember was encountering a thread on the forums of nuklearpower.com (home of the 8-Bit Theater webcomic) that simply asked, “Religious people, why do you believe in God?” and that was the first time I ever had ever encountered atheist perspectives or questioned what my parents taught me. At the time, there was very much this idea of, “Nobody ever changed their mind from an internet argument” but the internet exposed me to a lot of different views that I would never have encountered otherwise (see also: queer people).

Other than that, I used to gather around with friends to browse icanhazcheezeburger and failblog and stuff. I stayed up late grinding levels in RuneScape. Newgrounds and flash games were a big thing. Some of my friends were into 4chan in the early days when it was more about edgy shock humor than straight up Nazis. There was social media like MySpace and Facebook but I had no interest in them bc I was a nerd. There were a lot more random little websites that passed around by word of mouth.

Is that really more cost-effective than billboards in swing states?

That’ll matter.

Eggs are both especially expensive due to bird flu and a cheap staple that many people relied on. Everything has gotten more expensive due to inflation but they made an extreme and relatable example.

Christ, if you stopped trying to judge the moral rightness of voters for half a minute you might figure out how to actually win an election.

Good, but why put it in Times Square?

Everyone’s angry, nobody can agree on what the problem is or what to do about it.

The weirdest to me are variations of, “If God didn’t exist it would make me feel bad.” Uhh???

Sure, but it can still cause a lot of destruction in the meantime if it decides to go out with a bang.

The US has been going all-in on hard power while soft power declines. There’s a lot of rich individuals who benefit from military contracts but don’t care as much about actually maintaining the empire. The big risk is that Americans are going to recognize this disparity and start WWIII in an effort to leverage the one area that the US has an advantage to retain hegemony.

I know her positions. The point is that you haven’t said a word defending her based on those positions or any other relevant quality. All you can say in her defense is that her positions aren’t illegal to hold and that she’s a minority. That’s literally it.

By the way, I still haven’t heard you say that the Democrats should’ve been more hawkish in the Middle East like Tulsi wanted, so I assume you’re aware that you’re full of shit.

You haven’t said a word about her positions or what she said.

I like dying by gunshot more than dying by electrocution.

Your best defense is, “She is free to speak on the point of view that you don’t like,” which is another way of saying, “The things she’s said aren’t illegal.” That, and, “If you don’t like her you’re a racist and sexist.” Absolutely pathetic, lazy, and stupid arguments.

Lol, right. So when she was still calling herself a democrat and went on Fox News as far back as 2015 to shit talk Obama for not being hawkish enough in the Middle East, did the democrats “push her” to do that? How, exactly? Say it, that you think the democrats should’ve been more hawkish like Tulsi wanted.

Oh, but you can’t, can you? Because she flip flopped into pretending to be an isolationist, as soon as it was convenient. And suckers like you eat it up hook, line, and sinker.

Of course you’d also like RFK. If you buy into one insincere opportunist grifter who believes in nothing, why not another?

Wouldn’t they be legally liable for that unless they can prove it in court?

Lol. I’m sure you’re playing those cards in good faith.

It couldn’t have anything to do with her politics or the fact that she’s an opportunist with no principles who flipped to the right as soon as it was personally advantageous for her. Nope, every single Democrat, including those who are women, racial minorities, or female racial minorities, could only possibly dislike her because of racism and sexism 🙄

God I hate Tulcels.
