2020 Post Election MEGAthread

[Jibartik]

It does feel good to know that little tim pool brat spent 4 years of his life so bitter about 2016 that he backed the wrong horse so hard that he went all the way into the election guns blazing and now wakes up every morning remembering the same DNC that stole his 2016 hope just stole his 2020.

edit: look I know you guys are upset about this election and I get it, it just feels so god damn good to hear that over confident know it all podcaster finally get the rake in the face he deserved for walking through the field of rakes we kept saying trump was walking yall through.

Danth is a trusted source around here. He’s a reasonable person such as myself. It’s easy to see when the right goes too far, racial superiority stuff. When does the left go too far? When they’ve killed 30 million to achieve “utopia” ?

It’s funny how WW2 and the Holocaust are “Oh, just racial superiority stuff”, that really shows your immense bias.

I don’t need to be ‘more specific’, the job most certainly isn’t done, that should be blindingly obvious to anyone who realises we don’t live in a fair and equal society and that there are countries that are way way worse than ours even for this sort of thing.

I think now would be a good place to put this tweet as a reminder for which side is the know it all about made up stuff side. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It is also an amazing leap of cognitive bias to see ‘gay/trans rights and an end to systemic racism’ and immediately think ‘OMG STALIN!!!11’.

Yeah happy sounding clusters of words can inspire terrible things, that's what you're not getting I think. The nazis just wanted "Justice for the german people". Stalin and communism simply desire "Justice for the proletariat". Both involved the mass murder of those who dissented, or those deemed scapegoats.

Again, really simple question: When is a white cop justified in shooting a black person? Presumably at some point, right? White cops are human beings with children and families. What would you do?

Or invert the question if it makes you more comfortable: When is a black cop justified in shooting a white person?

Yeah that sucks.

What did you think of the video?

It's retarded and not funny. The punchline is "Ohhh man, what you predicted would happen didn't happen. hahaha!". Yeah I remember when I was six too.

A fundamental difference between the modern left and right that can't be overstated is that the right can make fun of themselves, the left seemingly can not. It's not risky or interesting to try to dunk on others; it's risky and interesting to dunk on your own.

Gotta hand it to the American pravda, I didnt even know this happened.

Quick example, here's an SNL sketch from right after trump got elected. This is one of very few examples I can think of when the left made fun of itself. They sort of still do it today, but it usually has some spineless "white\straight people are bad" thrust to the actual punchline. But this is comedic bravery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKOb-kmOgpI

pretty amazing indeed. My husband told me earlier. Even Drudge is in full blackout mode (I've seen him go thru this cycle in the past; he plays "opposition" and "far-right" until critical moments).

God will never exterminate all of life because it wants the cycle of death to continue forever. Figured out where you were born yet? See any hope?

Hell, and me neither. You got one thing going for you, an that's Atheism. There's no hope in it, but at least you escape fear and torment right?

Death ends love.

The world systems are corrupt because the one above is evil.
