Did you nab that convo from Muffins phone?
---

I didn't grow at all when I had sex with my virgin wife what a rip off
---

I really wish the GFWOB would go out and get laid by someone else so I wouldn't have the pressure of being her first... ick

I would literally have done it yesterday

Man it's gonna be crazy seeing all the red pills bashing Google for censoring the free speech pro-diversity liberals. Muffin can you post a few good ones from the people you follow when they come out? Just the top 5 or so cuz there's no way I could read all of their reactions, especially since this is about multiple people and not just one.
---

Chevalier, who is transgender, queer, and disabled

He forgot to be Jewish, too.
---

Anyone can be jewish if the redpills want them to be
---

transgender, queer, and disabled

super redundant, too
---

WTF dude
---

I laughed to be fair

though with smartmuffin there's a pretty high chance he was being genuine
---

trans and queer is actually redundant
---

Is it? I was under the presumption that queer was a sexual orientation label
---

Depends on definition

WTF dude

are you implying mental illness is not a real disability?

ableist scum

Can I also just say that I absolutely fucking love that the MSM is having to spend several hours loudly insisting that their child propagandists (aka school shooting victims) are TOTALLY NOT CRISIS ACTORS YOU CRAZY CONSPIRACY FREAKS!!!

awwww yeah baby, shift that overton window....
---

I dont get why that excites you

Do you think they are actors?

Do you LIKE the Overton window shifting to InfoWars as the center?

I don't think they are actors - but I do think the media using them for propaganda purposes is despicable.

Yes, I would prefer the overton window shifting in the direction of Infowars, who is about as credible as CNN. My point is less "trust infowars more" and more "trust CNN less" - and the fact that they have to address this at all proves that people are starting to do just that.

Good news for people in the military that don't like working out - physical fitness standards are about to be decreased by a lot!

Well thats pretty insane

I would say the same thing if you subbed out CNN for Fox News
---

I am being serious about that part. That's how little I trust CNN.

Infowars is more hyperbolic in their messaging, and CNN is more restrained, sure. It's basically the difference between Hillary and Trump. They're both liars with bad policies, Trump only seems worse to most people because he's a lot more in-your-face about it and doesn't couch his speeches with a lot of politically correct misdirection.
---

I meant it when I said InfoWars is moving to the MIDDLE of the Overton window too. You go to the sort of places Vlado steals all of his thoughts from and they think Alex Jones is a false flag sent by Globalists

Man, it seems like just about every fast/quick service food place in downtown SF has automated order kisoks.

I've changed my mind - I support raising the minimum wage to whatever it takes to make as many people unemployable such that this becomes a national thing.
---

I think that's just SF being obsessed with touch screens

Seattle and Oakland have the min wage and it just ends up with restaurants shutting down
---

Also does the Overton window have any real relevance at all unless you obsess over the media?
---

every mcdonald's i've been to in the past few years has had automated order kiosks.

In the heart of downtown, you can charge whatever you want and the rich people who work there will pay it because they have to eat. $15 for a salad is the new normal.
---

Oh I know. I had an old fashioned around there for $18 and that's a reasonable price comparably.
---

That being said there is a Tokyo Express near the moscone and it's amazing. Like $9 for a bunch of awesome Japanese food.

Really? It's unfathomable why a low-level government employee wouldn't charge head-first into the sounds of gunfire, having absolutely no idea what he may be going up against?
---

But now we are going to be expecting other low level government employees to do it

If he decided to do it without consulting any actual Indians, it absolutely is

Who is we?

Absent extensive military-style training/brainwashing, I don't expect anyone to throw themselves in the face of danger for whatever meager salary these guys would be making.

How is this different from "I have black friends?"

Am I allowed to dress like a Mexican on halloween so long as I can find at least one Hispanic dude who says its cool?
---

It would at least strengthen your case

Its different because theres actual INPUT from the black people.

Its the equivalent of here are some black friends of mine who will vouch that I didnt mean to be racist.

We meaning the United States since that seems to be the proposal gaining traction

Yet again, this is an issue that is stupidly being framed as two extremes, with the libertarian middle being given no thought whatsoever.

Current policy is "teachers are banned from arming themselves." Proposal is "teachers must be armed."

Obvious compromise solution that is ALSO the most liberty-maximizing is "teachers can arm themselves if they want but are under no compulsion to do so"

Trump having fun out there teasing conservatives with an odd Sophies Choice

He literally focus tested his policy options on live TV

Yes this does imply that he thinks he can get rid of the 2nd amendment if he wanted to

Looks like Trump's anti video game policy will be one of his most influential acts. Maga.

Coogler says his film was inspired by visiting Lesotho, a high-altitude southern African nation that had avoided most colonialism. The Lesotho influence can be seen in Black Panthers scenes set above Wakandas snow line: Lesotho is a rare sub-Saharan country with a ski hill.

Unfortunately, being more self-ruling down through its history than most other African countries doesnt seem to have turned Lesotho into Wakanda. Wikipedia reports:

About 40% of the population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25 a day. In urban areas, about 50% of women under 40 have HIV.

With AIDS becoming less lethal, life expectancy in Lesotho is recently back up to 50 years.

On the other hand, Lesotho, despite its abundant problems, has some sources of pride as a monocultural ethno-state (its name translates into the land of the people who speak Sesotho):

Poverty and unemployment rates are high, violent crimes are common, and there are many reports of rape and abuse against women. But there are also sources of stability and wealth: Most people in Lesotho own their own land and their own homes. They speak the same language and share the same religion.

Nice to see Marvel finally adopting right-wing values!

Man that site really hates black people. I guess this article is the kind of "bringing politics into entertainment" that anti-SJWs hate.
---

Taki's is like the only site I remember from like 10 years ago that hasn't compromised or sold out to SJWs... like... at all.
---

What is this post then? Were they just ahead of the time in being race-obsessed and bringing politics into everything?

I don't remember them being this race-obsessed. But society in general is, so if you want to be a "right-wing alternative" that sort of forces your hand. If your goal is to shit on polite society and polite society spends 99% of its time obsessing about race... well....
