good sir, would you be so kind as to give me one of your jolly good christian side hugs? i would greatly enjoy expressing my appreciation that a mere handshake could scarcely suffice; however, i daren’t want to convey an ill-founded or ambiguous miscommunication, i.e., some sort of homosexual subtext. praise Him, good sir, i’m a rough rider, filled up w/ christ love.
srsly, WTF?
OW
le chive asks: olivia wilde: better as a brunette or a blonde? duh. brunette. 9 times out of 10, brunettes are hotter than blondes. but does it matter w/ olivia wilde? she could have a bushel of wispy strands on her chin and she’d still be hotter than 90% of the population.
hello, catwoman!
is it wrong
that i sort of want to build a coliseum and watch Angry Liberals and Angry Conservatives just tear each other apart? i mean, really. i’m not joking. i would take great delight in watching the knuckle-draggers on both sides just kill each other. it’s gotten boring reading people bicker online; take it to the next level! put your money where your mouth is and fight and die for your beliefs. who was it that said war is the extension of politics?
so, come on. man up. you can keep pointing fingers, but isn’t it time you took out the enemy and made the world a better place?
why so serious?
why is everyone so apoplectic over the kanye thing? it’s what he does. almost gotta hand it to the guy: even in this day and age of media-savvy, seen-it-all types he knows how to get everyone talking about him.
the irony
of the whole “prostitation” sign is that these are the same people who bitch about “foreigners” not speaking english. at least an esl foreigner has an excuse—english is their second language. what’s this teabagger’s excuse? abject retardation? laziness? gross ignorance? is proper spelling an “elite” thing? is that what “elites” do? reading, writing, reasoning, etc—that’s what fancy intellectuals do in their ivory towers, right?
what vexes me about this is that they went over the word in the sign three times: w/ blue, black, and red marker. three times. yet it never occurred to them that they misspelled that word; more, it never occurred to anyone else who may have been around at the time that that word was misspelled. it’s enough to lead one to the cynical conclusion that this is a sort of prank, but to what end? to further discredit this movement? an answer to that is that they do enough to discredit themselves.
the fuck is “prostitation”? lol, “by by” correct spelling! wouldn’t want to be “english-ly correct” or anything.
also, nice tits, dude. bet your wife is proud that her husband’s boobs compliment her own.
a few things:
the joker is an anarchist, not a socialist. although one can make the argument that he’s something of a nihilist and “believes” that laws, rules, morals, are jokes and that life has no inherent meaning.
hitler hated marxism. hitler was a nazi. the nazi party was a far-right political ideology; marxism is a left-wing political ideology. so to say that someone is the next hitler and also a marxist is basically really fucking stupid.
the third reich had a habit of perverting signs and words to fit their political agenda. for example, the swastika had been used, for thousands of years, as a sign of peace. the nazis took it and appropriated it for their iconography, but they made it right-facing—an important distinction. so the next time you make your quaint, make-shift “obama is a nazi lol” sign, draw the swastika facing right; otherwise, you’re just saying that he’s a peace-loving hindu-nazi.
another example of the third reich perverting things is their use of the word “socialist.” when the organization was still the DAP (german workers party), there was some debate about whether to include the word “socialist.” party figurehead anton drexler wanted the term in the name, but party member karl harrer objected; it was later agreed that the group simply be called deutsche arbeiterpartei. to make matters clear, drexler stressed that the “socialism” was a form of social welfare strictly for middle-class german citizens of aryan extraction. the DAP was heavily steeped in volkisch ideology, promoting a strong national and racial identity and eschewing all things non-aryan. it was this perverted form of “socialism” that would later take shape in the nazi party.
speaking of socialism, to focus on the word in the national socialist german workers party is simple cherry-picking. what about workers? or nationalist? to be part of the working class means you’re secretly a nazi? to be strongly patriotic (read: a nationalist) means you’re secretly a nazi? is this the sort of slippery slope nonsense we want to tread? if nationalizing health care is “socialism” and socialism is nazism, are canada, britain, croatia, sweden, etc. nazi sympathetic countries? if so, what is the appropriate response to them? war? if the president is the political successor to adolf hitler, what is the appropriate response to him and his supporters? if WW2 was the only truly morally justifiable war, what is the moral response to the heir of adolf hitler? is it even abstractly tenable to entertain the notion that a man of kenyan descent is the political successor to the most psychopathic, genocidal white racist of the 20th century? is it really probable that this man, who is also half white, hates white people and plans to oppress them through a bastardized form of communism? and anyway, which is it? is he a nazi or a communist? the two are mutually exclusive. or have these things ceased having meaning? do these words even hold weight anymore? when an ideology is at the root of millions of deaths, and then the name of that ideology is thoughtlessly thrown around and used on someone/anyone you happen to disagree w/ politically, who is the real nihilist? the joker? or joe american?
