Nah. Then they’d just be embarrassed they had been pushing a book with such a woke lefty agenda. Some might even learn that they can throw away most of that commie stuff in the later parts of the book, and just keep the juicy bits they liked in the first half about how men are in charge, and slavery is okay so long as you follows some rules. Oh, except Revelations. That part rocks, let’s keep that. In fact… Let’s make it happen. That would be so sick.

/s (even though I really shouldn’t have to)

Holy shit… How can you rightly identify that the US military (and the US government’s use of said military) is evil, and that killing people for their ideas just spreads those ideas, but then somehow come to the conclusion that public health mandates during a pandemic are unconstitutional and “billionaires in this country got rich by actually serving their fellow man”?

Fucking hell, the propaganda machines are in overdrive.

Appreciate a veteran telling kids not to join the military. (Assuming this was written by an actual veteran, and isn’t just fictional propaganda.)

The rest is idiotic corpo bootlicking unrelated to the topic.

I’m starting to give legitimate consideration to the question, “Are they trying to lose?”

I know, “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence”, but… Come on! At what point is it no longer an “adequate explanation”?!

Normandy. Launching attacks on fascists for 80 years.

Shit, I’d do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

I haven’t had my blood boil like reading that McConnell piece.

I can’t even put the rage into words.

That must be hyperbole, right?

Like… The Enron guys at least, right?

Sure, but that quote calls it a “virus” but the headline says “fungus”.

The whiplash when I realized it wasn’t a critique of those ideas but endorsing them.

It literally read like they were outlining those positions as straw men to be torn down, and then was like, “Yep! That scarecrow has the right idea!”

I get the hate for those movies, but I honestly enjoyed them all.

They are what got me to watch TOS, finally. Then I did a full watch through of the series. They were great for revitalizing the fan base and making new fans.

I honestly love having the movies as a different universe/timeline. Saves us from tone whiplash, like Shakespeare TNG Picard vs Rambo Movie Picard.

I want to see this variation of a zombie movie.

Patient zero is a prominent politician.

His handlers continue to puppet him, because they already spent so much on his campaign.

Followers literally line up to be bitten and infected.

To confirm what you mean by “I’m a conservative”, which of these commonly held “conservative” beliefs (each which implies a lack of empathy) do you not subscribe to (i.e. “I don’t think like that…”)

• Black people only get harassed by police more often because they commit more crime.
• Gay people shouldn’t be allowed to marry.
• Women should not have the choice of abortion.
• The state is allowed to infringe upon free speech to prevent you from telling children about gay people.
• Foreigners are ruining this county.
• Climate change is a lie.
• COVID was a lie.
• Contemporary statues honoring Confederate traitors and slave owners are “honored cultural heritage”.
• All corporate media lies about Donald Trump, except that corporate media which supports him.
• Rich people earned all that money, and we have no right to take it back, or to limit how they use it.

If the big bang had never occurred, queer.af would never have died.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

QED

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It’s like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.
