trump's presidency basically turning america into a real life SP ep and oh NOW you want to "avoid politics"
you have it the other way around. America has been acting like Trump for over two hundred years. Hillary lost cos she was a bad candidate and ran a bad campaign. the overall election was so negative that most people didn't vote, so only hardcore fans voted for their candidates, and the media wants you to believe that there has been a crazy paradigm shift to sell your eyeballs.

It might be 'smart' but it's smart as in smart-arse libertarian 13 year old boy smart
With a definite hard-edged elitism going on - there's a small group in the know, who are smart, and everyone else in the village is dumb
― Never changed username before (cardamon), Friday, 11 August 2017 22:04 (six years ago) link
So there is nothing we could possibly gain from talking to the angry, dumb, adults - angry people/dumb people (the same) have nothing worthwhile to tell us

i think the thing w/south park is it's a show that makes me feel kinda bad for some reason, like how i felt reading the Gavin Mc1nnes era of Vice Magazine. which it bears a similarity to in how it kinda alt-ed all kinds of bigotry and seemed to think empathy was for suckers or i guess now cuckers.

though i think it was more part of the shifting landscape than one of the main causes of it.

my South Park anecdote -
one grad school summer i interned in Boulder, CO. i found a random craigslist place and thought everyone would be cool...actually i remember i already blogged about all this shit years ago on another thread. but to cut to the chase, they were all climate hoaxers, one of them told me that his biggest dream was to own a yacht, and south park was on 24/7. ever since then i associate SP with total dipshits

There are def Nazi salutes, chants of "blood and soil" and a woman tells a counter-protestor he "sounds like a n-----"

anyone who knows any of these people should cut them out of their lives immediately and warn everyone they know about what terrible fucking people they are

i don't think i know any alt right people. i don't really know hardly anyone anymore tbh. but if i did, i would write a letter to wherever they worked and tell their business owners that they're employing neo-nazis and that i would boycott the business until they were fired

Charlottesville just declared it an "Unlawful gathering", so perhaps that means the police will actually start doing something

From the videos above, most of them seem to have gotten the memo. This gathering was primarily made up of people who had recently played on a lacrosse or football team, probably.

Melanie Trump tweeted a tepid condemnation of...something the Nazis (of course she didn't call them that). Still no word from Trump.
