  • Oh man things in different places have different prices and levels of accessibility? I am so privileged I should never ever complain! What I’m fucking saying, you shit brain, is that we are also impacted and saying otherwise is disinformation meant entirely to shit on the USA. We hate ourselves enough without you.

    Yes I can cus at random people on the internet to escalate unnecessarily just like you! Flavor words to sprinkle across any sentence.


  • Largely unaffected? Our prices have soared since the war in Iran. Our prices were substantially lower before Iran because of our local oil production but it’s very clear to most Americans that our fossil fuel consumption is largely supplemented but foreign oil. And we are seeing the result at the pump. Sorry you’re paying even more but you were paying more than us before too.

    I never said that at all… I said literally nothing about politicians and I said nothing to suggest it’s the most intelligent subject. You made that context up all on your own. I said that many people who don’t talk politics don’t for the exact same reason you might not talk about computers with someone who knows a lot about computers. You might also avoid conversation about gardening with someone who has kept gardens for years. It’s not necessarily because of a lack of intelligence (though in some cases it is) but most likely just not the subject matter they have the most knowledge of. Not everyone can spend the time immersing themselves in all the subject matter you have and politics is just another subject.

    I’m starting to understand “I don’t do politics.” to often mean “I don’t have the mental aptitude for political discourse and have spent a significant amount of my life becoming educated on other subjects or otherwise being unintellectual about most subjects.” I feel it’s a little more acceptable that way. Some people are just not that smart or have not invested much time in politics or current world affairs. It usually means, they feel inadequate discussing the subject with you.












  • The person who is being called a Nazi, is not being called a Nazi because they said someone else was ugly. They’re calling her ugly because she made a comic disparaging Nazi/fascist behavior and their response to said comic was to call her ugly. You have this backwards.


  • Even if you weren’t a Nazi, what on earth about this post makes you feel a need to comment on somebody’s appearance.

    “You’re presenting fascist behavior.” “Yeah? Well you’re ugly.”

    Do you see how one of these things is like… Not an opinion? And the response to pointing out problematic behavior is just more problematic behavior?
