The side to my left burned shit down, took over parts of a major American city with rifles, and fucked with my family. I'll humor all kinds of shit in order to help see them brought down. If you don't like that, too bad.

I don't think you're gonna convince me that this isn't pro Nazi rhetoric
Nobody thinks they're going to convince you of anything, they're just letting you know that your magic words don't work anymore. Just skip to the part where you post a big angry screed and never come back, because the part where everyone decides to humor your precious moralizing is just never coming.

I just don't think the guy was ever relevant enough to be this kind of barometer, and I question whether anyone who doesn't partake in threads like this even remembers this story.

I barely remember who this guy is, does it really mean anything if his project tanks?

Bruh if you're going to invite a mod spanking at least do something funny to earn it.

I'd care about this more if it made any difference. Staff at a perfectly ordinary suburban high school tried to talk a vulnerable young member of my family down a path that very well could have led to her permanent sterilization and disfigurement. As far as I'm concerned it's moral to eradicate gender ideology even at significant cost to the rest of society.
Yeah I don't know what to tell you dog, Hitler's death has passed out of meaningful living memory and the left has been screaming Nazi at every Republican presidential candidate of my adult life. You're flogging a dying taboo that will only continue to get weaker.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it has plenty more flogging left in it, but given how Dem-aligned cohorts ranging from campus wokies to random working-class black dudes all seem to hate Israel/Jews now I don't think it's going to be the decisive issue of the age.
Sorry if you constructed your entire political worldview around the equivalent of being able to denounce Bonaparte to thunderous applause for all eternity.

It's my impression that the internecine struggle between the pro-Jewish and anti-Jewish right has heated up significantly in the aftermath of the Kirk shooting. Normie Republican wonks versus Groypers. The normie "Israel is our greatest ally, legal immigration is heckin' wholesome, never say slurs" Republicans obviously hold vastly superior institutional power, but long-term they're basically dead. As far as I can tell every right-wing male under forty on social media considers them complete dickless old losers.

Why should I need to justify it morally at all? Whose team should I be on if not my own? I didn't create this system, I just refuse to play along with progressives who seem to think I'm obligated to accept the bottom rung in it.

You appear to think of politics entirely on the basis of whether policies create material problems for you in your life (and, granted, in your daughter's). Don't you have a concept of politics as rooted in moral values unrelated to your own personal fate?
1990's colorblind liberalism is dead and it wasn't the right wingers who killed it. Since we now live in some kind of post-liberal racial spoils hellscape, I'll be voting for my own team, thanks.

Well, the flip side of this is that with the righty reaction to the lefty reaction to the Kirk assassination, the Right has also thoroughly burned its "it's just banter" card. If the two competing party programmes in the US actually start being perceived as "install a modern version of Hitler" vs. "shoot all Charlie Kirks", which one do you figure will have majority support?
Fuck 'em anyway. Anyone who still wants to go soothe ISIS's concerns about blasphemy at this point will have to do it without me.

…did you ever?
Who the fuck are you to say otherwise? Back before the blue team made being racist against me hip and tried to get my niece to cut her tits off, I was a Daily Show watching Dem-voting asshole internet atheist. Now when the thing that side has become comes calling, wearing its little civil rights skin suit, to tell me how so-and-so said some no-no words, I just snuggle in among all the Jesus freaks and right wing dickheads I used to think of as my enemies and say, well, at least they weren't aimed at me.
Thanks for asking.

After the lefty reaction to the Kirk assassination I absolutely don't care about this, and will never care about anything like this from my own side ever again. OP wildly overestimates the number of fucks the right has left to give.

Tubi is where I learned that there's a series of like twelve movies about a possessed bong that kills people, and ten more about an evil gingerbread man that kills people, and they have crossovers and shit. I've seen movies on there worse than what I'm convinced I could make on my own with no money or experience.
I've watched a kaiju movie so cheap it used painted cardboard boxes and someone's collection of model 1950's classic cars to make the city. They used a model steam locomotive to represent an urban elevated train, complete with a 19th century looking engineer who I think is just there because it's his model and he screams stuff like "Whoa Nelly!"
And these are all relatively modern American productions. That's not even going into like weird decades-old Italian B-movies about hot women who fuck snakes and turn into monsters and shit, etc. etc. It's a goldmine. They even have famous RedLetterMedia stinkers. I've seen Suburban Sasquatch and Last Vampire On Earth on there.
Tubi is manna from heaven for people who like weird stupid bullshit.
So the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section on Tubi is pretty much interdimensional cable from Rick & Morty. Case in point, here's the movie Dragonfyre (2013).
https://youtube.com/watch?v=CaXAKE4jdhw
An army of orcs and shit want to invade the earth through a magic portal, but their conquest is repeatedly thwarted by a mighty wizard armed with terrifying magic, AKA the gun nut whose land the portal opens on to. This movie is like if Sauron got a portal to the ranch of some guntuber and the host of Mordor got its ass blown off by a grumpy army vet.
Okay not really, it's more like the shitty bargain-basement version of the movie you're imagining. It looks like some asshole youtuber made it or something. Half the movie is just violence porn of orcs getting butchered by machine gun fire while trying to set up catapults and shit, but these guys can't even muster the filmcraft to employ squibs, so it's just guys falling to the floor while 90's video game CGI blood spurts go off over them.
There's an American Indian shaman with healing powers who dual-wields katanas even though he's blind and wears a blindfold to make double sure we know he's blind. I feel like this tells you a lot about what kind of film this is.
Nothing about the movie's thumbnail or blurb on Tubi gave me any clue what it was about. It just showed a dragon and said some generic shit about orcs. I just put this on for the hell of it because I love Z-list fantasy trash and then things started getting fun out of nowhere. Nobody seems to have made any funny reviews of it or anything either, and I felt like telling someone about it, so there it is.

Writers on this show suck ass now dude, can't even keep character motives straight. No respect for the source material.

It’s not [Mark] Andreessen, by the way. I think Andreessen is not the antichrist. Because you know, the antichrist is popular.
God damn.

If Thiel is worried about a one-world state,
Naw dog, all states are one-world states, at least so far. He's worried about a one-state world.
