"Here's American politics in a nutshell: a candidate gets the nomination, and rapes a goat on live television to celebrate. The question does not then become 'Okay, who else have we got?' No, people go into denial. They get tribal. They're like 'I'm not voting for them, but I'm voting for the party.' They'll start justifying it! 'Look, just because they fuck goats doesn't mean I can't agree with their stance on gun control.' It'll get down to the wire, and people will come out of the booths on election day wearing stickers and t-shirt proudly proclaiming 'I voted for goat-fucker!' - and four years later, they'll do it all again. Because in America, it doesn't matter who gets fucked or who does the fucking, as long as somebody's getting laid we're happy to be part of it."
I personally would only think better of a Republican Candidate who fucked a goat on national television. At least that would mean I could be sure they wouldn't make the tired Slippery Slope to Bestiality argument against gays that all the others use.Ancient History wrote:"Here's American politics in a nutshell: a candidate gets the nomination, and rapes a goat on live television to celebrate.

Probably true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPxhdo4HDgg
although I'm not sure if Space Godzilla and/or MechaGodzilla also count or not.

Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

"If you are voting for Donald Trump, you are a piece of shit. You are worthless, you are terrible, and I'm ashamed to say you are my fellow citizens. I have never felt that before about any election, and I've been through two George W. Bush wins. Well, one win. I don't want to reason with you. I don't want to convince you. I want you and your kind to dry up and become dust in the history of the nation."

This rant from a social media acquaintance seems highly relevant to the spirit of the Den:
"You're just as much as hater as he is." No. Fucking. Shit. Maybe next time I should let it make me happy when some fuckbucket is given equal time to shit hate and lies and just plain rudeness out of their facehole and into my society? I'll just be sad and listless when people get punched in the face or attacked by dogs for getting in the way of Manifest Destiny 2: Electric Boogaloo, or daring to disagree with someone's pet tyrant. Great plan, Moonbeam. I'll be sure to choke back my feelings to avoid harshing your mellow. We can all hold hands and sing and wave crystals. Uranus is in retrograde.
"You have to rise above them and take the high road." What the fuck do you think I'm angry about? I have risen above them, because I am not a misogynist transphobe racist gay-bashing whatever. I am high fucking above them. I am measurably better than them in every way, because I do not want to hurt or kill people arbitrarily. That's pretty fucking far above them, and I ain't fucking rising any more - unless it's to come down on you with a big fucking rock for comparing me or anyone near me to fucking fascist hatemongers. They're fucking nodes in a matrix of awful memetic poison that gives birth to ACTUAL FUCKING ATROCITY you fucking soft-handed Eloi moron. Get the fuck away from me and go back to the namastation. I hear it's in Cambodia. The divine in me says the divine in you should go fuck itself.
Keep your slave bullshit to your fucking self, weakling. I'm sure your internet petitions and the yoga classes you haven't actually gone to for two years and the back of the Deepak Chopra book you have next to the toilet and keep rereading but never turning over are really making you a force for righteousness. But by all means, keep telling people to chill out. I'm sure positive thinking is what we need.
The many and wonderful benefits of relaxation are not in question. The not-infrequent use of the language in question to judge, dismiss, and minimize the feelings of rightfully-angry people is shitty and lazy and insulting to people who have actually put real time and effort into art/science/spiritual practice of meaningfully "chilling the fuck out".
That's really all I'm angry about. Don't fucking minimize people's feelings. Don't judge their anger as bad or wrong. The denial of negative emotions is a deadly serious weakness of our culture.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
Okay this is brilliant.The divine in me says the divine in you should go fuck itself.

Shrapnel wrote:TFwiki wrote:Soon is the name of the region in the time-domain (familiar to all marketing departments, and to the moderators and staff of Fun Publications) which sees release of all BotCon news, club exclusives, and other fan desirables. Soon is when then will become now.
Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.
Can people stop saying dumb things like this? No really, Clinton won every fucking age gap under 30 by a good margin, unless you think those 40 year US anime lovers outnumber the under 30, can we please stop making weird dumb claims about how anime belongs to Trump? It was a fucking joke when the alt-right said it in the first place!Stahlseele wrote:And look who won.

I'm pretty sure that anime fans are less than non-anime fans in the USA.
So it's entirely possible that Clinton got over half of the people under 30 and the anime fans still voting for Trump en mass, since they were less than half of their age groups to begin with. And less than half is still more than enough to become president in the USA.
Plus hey
How many people did you see making anime-style depictions of Clinton again?

Have you taken a look at Terraformars, one of the most popular animes recently?
-"Multi-international team" composed of pretty much only white people that all speak fluent english/japanese.
-Their main opposition are black-skinned humanoids that cannot speak proper english/japanese and start by pretty much just wanting to defend their homeland. They must be all exterminated so the white people can set up proper civilization!
-Then later on the series turns out the black-skinned humanoids have been illegally immigrating into the white people's previous lands, and so they must be doubly purged!
I don't think you could make a more pro-Trump anime if you tried.
Since however you fail to present a single shred of proper evidence as usual, I'm afraid you're the one in the wrong here.
