there's been a weird reclamation of pinochet lately

He may have tortured 100,000 of his citizens, but hey, look, the guy improved the business climate and attracted more investment from multinationals and banks, so he wasn't all bad.

Brilliant stuff here

gotta love those baseless metaphysical appeals to "nature" to justify a political orientation.

LOL @ equality not existing in nature. The equilibrium of opposing forces sort of resulting in the creation of every single galaxy/star/planetary system/bloviating writer author in the cosmos.

You know what's kinda great about Twitter? In as much as it tends towards off the cuff/filterless throw-aways that are noentheless easily and visibly stored, the real 'thought' processes of these idiots tends to be easier to read or harder to hide.

he has one facial expression, and it is a very unfortunate expression indeed

idgi- is that incitement to shoot Obama dead?

idk it seems conservatives have a list of all the things Obama has said that acknowledge his ethnicity and they like to just repeat them endlessly in sneering horribly constructed "joke" form.

"We are currently in the process of transferring all the videos to Pop Modal, a video platform for conservative vlogers" writes a dude who got banned from YouTube for life for hate speech

this is kind of a shit goldmine

"The idea is to collect information from a given society that best represents the most healthy and successful aspects within the social context of said society as a barometer of the progress of said society."

what the fuck are they even talking about

Translation: we think that calling our opinions and prejudices about society "healthy and successful" makes them sound much more appealing than calling them "what we hope to impose on you".

Consider:

The Benghazi attacks appear to be connected to the Obama administration secretly running weapons to Syrian rebels.

In Egypt after the Arab Spring, the Obama administration backed the Muslim Brotherhood who killed Coptic Christians and destroyed their churches.

Syrian rebels, backed by your tax dollars, have led attacks on Christians throughout Syria.

We need to tell this story…

In Lebanon, I interviewed survivors of an attack by Muslim rebels on the ancient Christian village of Maaloula. They confirmed people were killed for not renouncing their faith.

Al-Qaeda terrorists are now flooding into Syria from all over the world. Their stated goal is to create a Caliphate; an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law that rules first the Middle East, and then as much of the world as possible.

The northern Syrian city of Aleppo has been turned into ‘hell’, according to a Syrian I interviewed. Almost all the Christians have fled and kidnappings are common.

I interviewed the head of the Iraqi Catholic church, Patriarch Louis Sako and learned that in Iraq, fierce fighting between Muslim sects has driven over 1,000,000 Christians out of that country.

Here at home, we’re already seeing open hostility to Christianity and theism. Their nihilism is on full display: from the Democrats removing God from their political platform to the Obama administration punishing Christians in the military to liberal protestors shouting ‘Hail, Satan’ at the Texas Statehouse.

i mean, it's true that arab christians are under intense pressure and violence, and were often the beneficiaries of the old colonial and then autocratic orders. but that last one, hmmmmmm

guys the liberal protesters were just aerosmith fans, chill

wasn't it like instantly debunked that they were saying something else? i have vague memories of that. during the wendy davis filibuster, right?

yeah, didn't happen

- The historian at a large Catholic university gathered his friends and family on the day that the rest of us call “Thanksgiving.” But his clan called the holiday “Anathema Thursday,” and every year used it to mock the Protestant origins of America by hanging a Puritan in effigy. This same historian teaches those he mentors to call the Statue of Liberty “that Masonic bitch-goddess.”

Thing is, there's _always_ been a non-tiny fraction of Americans who are authoritarian enough to happily march us into fascist despotism and feel better for it. Dr Bob Altemeyer has been researching this stuff for years, and had the number at about 1-in-5 when interviewed in one of John Dean's books. It's one of the reasons why a President's approval rate will never, ever drop much below 20%.

Much like with all other sections of horseshit-based fringe society, the internet amplifies them and transitionary periods of culture bring them out.

In other words, they're the most zealous proponents of "America" or the flag or something, but as tribal symbols and battle standards of overwhelming power, not for the values of those particular symbols or how they came to be. It works like assholes trumpeting their religion as an appeal to authority, not because of the actual content of the Sermon on the Mount, say.

Tl, dr; version

Humans in groups act in strange ways when they're scared.

goole, you can definitely find ppl like that in France. Luckily they spend as much time fighting amongst themselves (Orleanists vs Legitimists vs Petainists vs Front National vs GUD, etc...)

iirc, when he was a film "critic," he accepted money from one or more studios in exchange for favorable reviews on "Sneak Previews." This was in the 80s, and I can't find anything about it online, though.
