Japanese Global warming! we’re all GONNA DIE!!!!
Do we have anybody around here whose job involves temperature control?
Well we do have an Apostrophe Monitor, I’ll look for that Controls guy, He’s here somewhere…….
I think Japan should check the thermostat.
They haven’t Changed Filters since Fukushima, and I thought they were so industrious……..
That is so often overlooked. They need a regular maintenance schedule.
I laughed.
I remember when I used to have Apostrophe playing on my Monitor.

None of the models I worked on when I was a kid turned out looking that good.
I have a couple car model kits which I received as gifts when I was an undergrad. They’re unopened. I see them in my basement, and I think, “I should either put those together or get rid of them.” They still just keep sitting.
Great work!

At least, it currently doesn’t have a link. The Edit Fairy is going to come through and make my comment look ill-informed.
I dragged STEVE SMITH out of the bar and made him fix it. He’s afraid of me.

I went for a hike last week and saw a porcupine missing lots of quills. I immediately thought of STEVE SMITH and wondered why he went after the porcupine instead of a hiker. Then I realized I was a hiker.
STEVE SMITH responded to one of my Tweets the other day.

Then STEVE SMITH went after Hikers, and I was one…………………….

Well, I finished a Maß full of cider, caught up on a few glibs threads. I did nothing that I need to do around the house and I did nothing that I need to get done for work. I guess I have my priorities in order.
I am occasionally useful to keep around!
Apparently so! No matter what the others say!
You suck up! You’re making the rest of us look bad!
We need a movie rec for tonight. Prime, or Netflix. No horror or chick flick. Old is good, as is noir.
Go!
Not a movie, but as you seem to be those who would appreciate the Twilight Zone, have you burned through Black Mirror already?
No. Hmm.
/adds to list
Don’t watch season one, episode one as your first try at Black Mirror. For some reason it’s their worst and most uncharacteristic episode, and you might not want to continue if that’s all you’ve seen. Start at Season One, Episode Two, which is quite good and more emblematic of the series. Go forward from there, you can always return to #1 much later.
C. Anacreon speaks truth. The pilot episode is the worst of the entire run.
Thanks for those warnings, gents. I shall keep it in mind.
*refreshes memory*
Yup, I completely agree. I hated that episode.
Thomas Crown Affair was on Prime.
The real version?
Oh please, give me a little credit. You think I would have recommended the remake?
Well, you never know with you kids.
Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs are also on Prime now.
Madelyn Kahn, God I loved that Woman
15 is my limit on Schnitzengruben, baby.
So…You’re not from Havana, huh?
How would I know what’s on Prime or Netflix though.
(I’m watching the second season of Glow, but that’s not a movie.)
Way of the Gun and In Bruges are both on Netflix right now.
Thank you!
I mean, even if Way of the Gun doesn’t hold your attention, at least you get to see Sarah Silverman get the shit beat out of her in the first scene.
Its actually this line that should live forever
I’m going to have to start working that one into my everyday life. I really just haven’t been calling people cunts enough lately.
Move to Australia?
I like her when she’s, you know, not talking about politics.
Yeah, I enjoyed her before she started blabbing politics.
If you have Amazon’s Starz package, you can watch Zardoz.
We don’t, but we’ve never seen it and have thought we should.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN IT ONE. YES, INDEED YOU SHOULD WATCH THE MASTERPIECE THAT IS ZARDOZ! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Okey-dokey, Zardoz, baby.
Apparently The Oklahoma Kid is free on Prime, and has both James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart in a western.
Bogart said Cagney looked like a mushroom in his ten-gallon hat.
LOL
I’ll add that to the Watchlist.
I also have “Doctor Detroit” and “Jekyll and Hyde- Together Again” on my list.
Doctor Detroit is dated, but awesome.
Ho-Lee Shit, Tres. Watch it a 2nd time, for me!
/pleeeeeze
Ima get hammered and watch Archer and/or Its Always Sunny. The episodes with Artemis Pebdani, cause Im into that.,
For a few seasons she looked amazing.
Still would.
I do have a limit as to body fat percentages, but I can (and have) appreciated a woman on the Rubenesque side.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS BMI WATCHING ONE. HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING THAT ZARDOZ HAS INSTRUCTED?! THE PENIS IS EVIL…YOU SHOULD NOT WISH TO SHOOT SEEDS INTO RUBENESQUE BRUTAL FEMALES, AND CREATE NEW LIFE! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
If you want to start a Filmbox trial, you can try One Wonderful Sunday, although you’re beginning to get close to chick flick territory here.
If you have never seen Fitzarraldo it is on Netflix I believe. Klaus Kinski at his absolute nutty best trying to go through with an impossible plan to get enough dough together to bring Paganini to the jungle.
I watched the James Stewart western Bend of the River recently. One of the characters is running a steamboat on the Columbia River, and not always happy about it. He says he should go back to the Mississippi. Of course, this in the days before the Panama Canal,so he’d either have to go around Cape Horn, or carry the boat over the isthmus of Panama. I couldn’t help but think of Fitzcarraldo.
Thanks! I dig me some Jimmy Stewart. I’ll put it on my Netflix queue.
Arthur Kennedy is severely underrated.
Fun fact: Jimmy Stewart is in my family tree.
I loved him before I knew that.
I’m distantly related to Ty Cobb and one of the various people who taught Chuck Norris martial arts.
I love genealogy.
Webdom and I are both eligible for the DAR on several lines. We are seriously considering joining.
I had a relative who played in MLB back in the 80’s. When the girlfriend and I were at the Louisville Slugger Museum, I found his name on their wall. At the time we were there, she thought it was a stupid idea for me to ask to hold a version of his bat from the vault (both of us have a rare last name).
She has since come around, and if we find ourselves in Louisville again, I may be holding a bat that matches one that a relative used in the majors.
To get in to the Daughters of the American Revolution my aunt lied that we are related to Aaron Burr. We are related to Burrs, but not his line. Closest I got to famous in my lineage.
I’m a member. I decided I didn’t need to spend time with rich old women learning about 18th century china patterns.
And I don’t know if it’s on Prime, I think you get the DVD from Netflix, but OMWC should watch Happiness. It’s a dark comedy by the guy who made Welcome to the Dollhouse and Dylan Baker plays a pedo and there is a lot of comedy with that character OMWC would like I think.
Ha! I will suggest it to him.
Have you ever seen Chopper
Eric Bana’s breakthrough role. Its a bloody (slight pun) fantastic movie, and its an insanely good performance by him (better than anything i’ve seen him ever do since)
Its funny, heartwarming, and has some violence (done in ways you might not expect), and awkward family life. an interesting and very honest profile of a bizarre character famous in australian media.
if you want something more lighthearted-comedy, I recommend Eating Raoul or maybe that movie where Jean Reno travels through time. Les Visiteurs
Thank you!
These will not be old… but from Netflix:
Moon – Sci-Fi movie
Hot Fuzz – Police British comedy (part of the blood and ice cream trilogy)
Burn After Reading – Cohen brothers comedy
The Founder – Film about the founder of McDonald’s
The Stanford Prison Experiment – Film about the…
If you’re willing to delve into comedy horror:
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil – Rednecks vs. College kids.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is great.
Thirded for Tucker and Dale, a good deconstruction of the genre and with two great lead actors and good jokes.
And a wood chipper.
Fargo was great. Maybe Hollywood just needs more wood chippers.
We loved The Founder.
OMWC loves anything by the Coen brothers.
Thanks!

I rewired a light switch today; hopefully my house doesn’t burn down.
Thinking for a second, that’s pretty hard to do with a switch, You need a short to make Fire, Know what I mean?
Hot to conduit.
A switch IN conduit? i know Metal Box, I get that, I also know CPRM ain’t stupid, just me thinking aloud….
Nick the hot by accident, leave it just barely touching, one day after people smack the switch on and off it makes contact, spark ignites the stud before the breaker flips….
Breaker, hah! The shit wiring in my house laughs at your new fangled technology! Try 3, yes 3, fuse boxes wired to different circuits that were added at different times in different places in the house. This is where the fire concern comes in, not what I did, but how well it plays with the rest of the wiring.
You might want to replace that.
*calls insurance companies, frantically*
That’s the plan, when I can afford it, which at this rate is about the time I die, so.
My Shit wiring laughs at your Shit Wiring, but I get where you’re coming from, I “Customized a Few Circuits in my place just to get a proper Ground, Helpful for recording, and not burning the place down
There are no ground wires in Libertopia!
Haven’t been on at the same time as you for awhile, CPRM. Wanted to finally respond to say that the 4th in Three Lakes Wisconsin was great as always. Got to love a parade with Bloody Mary stands. Only in Wisky!
When I was a kid we went up to that area quite a bit on our way back and forth to where we would camp in the UP. It’s about 2hrs north of here, nice country. And yes, Wisconsin is all bout the drinkin. Every town has at least 1 bar and 1 church. Then of course there are the bars between each town so you can stop off on your way. Nanny staters against drinking and driving are attacking my cultural heritage!
^This. Always cracks me up when I think about the bar sitting on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere with a Lienenkugel’s sign hanging, four pickups parked outside. Gee, I wonder how they got home.
Also quite fun there, bars where you can dock your boat.

This. I like it cool. Especially at night.
68 F is ideal for sleeping.
*looks at temp on thermometer….. 89F indoor, 87 outdoor…………but it was 103 outdoor when I got home.
Ya, I am a cheapskate and AC is for pussies! You do actually get used to it and it becomes no big deal. Also, those of you that have spent time in Iraq, UAE, or Phoenix in august know what real hot is.

Only did Kuwait through June. 120F is hot enough, even if the humidity was usually low. 90F+ back home felt cold by comparison.
Mrs trshmnstr were planning on going to the Tokyo Olympics until LA won their bid. I’m kinda disappointed because I don’t think we’ll ever visit Japan otherwise.

Really? There’s more than just the Olympics there. My only regret about visiting Japan is that I didn’t do it twenty years earlier.
Have you ever been to a city while they were hosting the Olympics? I’m wondering what to expect.

Has anyone heard from Straff? He’s got a few Old Relatives over there IIRC, It’s going to 108+ from Monday- Thursday Where I live, and if you’re not Ready, you can get Real Sick, DEG mentioned something in the Glibfit post today,
I didn’t hear about any deaths during that miserable heat wave that covered like the eastern two-thirds of the US a couple weeks ago. AC works people – use it.
By the end of my road trip, I was getting used to the 90+ degree 80%+ humidity. It made home feel cool and relaxing.
Me, every Day, I come home and, Yeaaaa, Cool……
A/C has an off switch? /Texan
You’re not Cooling, you’re Dehumidifying,
Our motor control centers here at work are one of the only places that have a/c. They have it because the electronics are sensitive to ambient temps above 110 or so. When an a/c goes down, the floors immediately turn as wet as if someone opened up a water line.
You are Wise, this is Known. Customer Service sucks around here when the Monsoons come in, they don’t get it
Unless you have swamp coolers.
Family is ok. Thanks for asking. Everybody is moving in slow motion outside. I really don’t want to go to Shibuya today. Heat island effect in full swing there.

LOL love the troll who calls it a fake and the reporter – from an ABC station – chimes in that it’s real. And he still says it’s a fake. God bless the internet.
Not surprising.
I really, really enjoy this channel: de Lucia, DiMeola, and McLaughlin playing The Simpsons theme
Angus Young plays George Benson
DiMeola has serious chops, yet he’s my least favorite member of RTF.
Hã! Right on, loved that Angus solo.
thanks! Awesome Goodness!
BTW it was the Drifters not Benson, that did oh , 35 years before George
I really appreciate that 1) the creator can play many different styles proficiently, 2) he mashes up some dissimilar styles, and 3) certain licks (more or less) match what’s going on in the video. This guy’s a great player AND editor.
Super Troopers 2… very disappointing
Watched Matt Damon’s Downsizing last night. How do you lose to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids?
How does Ant-Man compare in the shrinking movie genre? I’ve seen both of those, and the first Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
Haven’t seen Ant-Man. Inner Space is probably the best one I’ve seen.
Ah, Inner Space. A “classic” 80’s film.
The shrinking episode of Futurama probably has them all beat.
Mike Tyson Mysteries also did a great spin on these.
Downsizing was crap.
The only good part was the Vietnamese lady and her accent. Mesmerizing.
I thought it was worth watching, nothing amazing, but then again I think Super Troopers is only their third best film. But it was better than Slammin Salmon.
The jimmy buffet/ horror one, Club Dread, Titties and sweet Ass
That movie started out as a comedy then turned in to half-assed horror film.
Yes, my list is Club Dread, Beerfest, Super Troopers, Super Troopers 2, Puddle Jumper and Slammin Salmon. And Count Potato, if you think the second half of Club Dread is half-assed horror, your missing some great, to reuse I term I used earlier to describe Tucker and Dale and sounds snooty, deconstruction of the genre. It’s not half-assed because it failed, it’s half-assed because it succeeded.
Maybe I’ll have to re-watch it. If I remember, it stopped being entertaining like the first half.
CD is great simply for Coconut Pete’s kitchen outburst
Super Troopers 2 has some good laughs though.

Now let me respond with this powerpoint…
If only they could come up with solutions to real problems and not the imaginary ones they make up in their head.
They want problems that can’t be solved.
A six-year-old child died in Aichi Prefecture Tuesday after participating in an outdoor class at school, which led the education ministry to urge schools to take preventive measures.
The idiot schools still make the kids use the back pack thingy’s called Randosel even when it’s this damn hot. Things can weigh up to 4 or 5 kilos when full. Oh, and you can’t pick up your kid from public elementary schools where I live. You have six year old kids hauling those back packs a kilometer or more in 95 degree heat. Crazy.

(thanks for posting that site!)
It’s a good one because it hasn’t sold out to PC. I volunteer a couple times a month at a special needs school. Most have Down’s syndrome. They have posters all over the school tell the kids to “Say no to drugs!” with pictures of a shady character in the park trying to get a little kid to smoke the evil weed. Haven’t seen too many kids with Down syndrome hanging out at Ueno park at 3am trying to score a bag.
Ueno park…

Is that a lock? So they carry around their own lockers?

It’s the hottest day of the year so far. 105 this afternoon. I got work at seven and had to venture up to the crane.
Damn it man, that’s inhumane.
Ouch. Sorry.
It wasn’t that hot in the bar I spent the evening in.

Yikes!
What happens if I push the “full head” button? Don’t disappoint me.
It sends the weight of the scrap bucket you are carrying to furnace operator station computer. The computer calculates how many KWhrs of electricity will be needed to melt the steel sufficiently to allow room in the furnace to accept the full back.
Actually a hooker comes up there and does her thing.
Either way, the load gets moved, eh?
Like it is hot and ready.
Did you drink a gallon or so of water when you got down? Jeez!
Before, during, after. Really staying hydrated is what keeps you alive when you have to deal with temps like that. My company does a good job of having coolers full of bottled water all over the place. My work mates and are really good about watching each other and making sure we all stay hydrated.
When a piece of production is down, and the maint department is getting burned down getting it back going, there is always a production employee, or boss, or somebody who is making trips to the nearest water cooler and keeping us supplied with water.
Its nice, really.
Water is Life in the Heat game, i’m Self Contained, but still get drinks from customers and such, never turn it down.
Indeed. Especially on days like today.

Question that I’ve always wanted to ask but didn’t want to sound stupid:
How do you pronounce those European names that start with a D and an apostrophe?
Like Francisco d’Avalos… Is that pronounced “dee-avalos”, or “davalos”? Do you basically just ignore the apostrophe?
I always do the former, but have no knowledge of the right way.
From what I remember of High School French, you just ignore the apostrophe in the French ones, same as you would in English.
Same in Italian.
The apostrophe says you’re leaving out a vowel before another vowel.
di + Avalos = d’Avalos – pronounced “davalos”
Yup.
My mother’s maiden name begins with a ‘Di’ but it became one word here in North America. But I’ve revived it to its original status. Because. Libertarian?
Yeah, anything goes with proper names, but otherwise it’s actually mandatory to elide the ‘i’ in ‘di’ before a vowel. And yes, there is no “pause” or some nonsense. The apostrophe simply means a sound is left out – exactly the same as its usage in English.
BTW the reason for this is that the ‘i’ in ‘di’ is unstressed. Dropping unstressed vowels is extremely common in languages around the world.
I can sense your excitement.
Finally something I can talk about.
There is a pause in that the consonant (ie. “D”) is more accented. It simply takes more time to bring your mouth parts back to pronounce the following vowel.
Sounds erotic.
That’s one way of doing it. The park where I honed my soccer skills was called D’argeson. Pronounced as if there’s no apostrophe.
You pronounce them with your pinky finger raised just so.
interesting question. i bet HM has some specific term for it, but i think the accent suggests the pronunciation requires a ‘restart’ from “after the D”
iow,
D’angelo isn’t “DANG-a-lo” – its ‘(duh)Angelo”
whatever comes after the ‘ is meant to be pronounced independently. the “D” is just a placeholder consonant sound short for “of/from” (in latin ‘De’) . and so you get = “Bill from Jersey City = Willem D’Jersey”
What the frick is duh Angelo? Lol.
It’s D’Angelo. As in Dangelo.
And *technically* you pronounce it by accentuating slightly the D’an part and effortlessly fuse into gelo with a feint heavy spin on the ‘lo’ part. You have to say it with panache.
Say it with me. Dann-ge-LO.
its not a minor distinction.
that its ‘slight’ is no doubt the case. but that there’s a reason for the distinction matters. and i think french/italian/”other variations” of those spellings of names have wider variety than you find in the most-popular variants.
so coming up w/ some rule for it is hard, other than to recognize what the point of the “D'” thing was in the first place, which was to indicate ‘person’s place of origin’
(first name- “(d)”placename)
+1 Da Vinci.
HM is busy on youtube finding us some entertainment.
You don’t acknowledge their existence because they aren’t American.
Nice!
D’avalos = D’Amurican.
It depends on the country. And there are different dialects within Spain, Italy, etc. Generally, it’s like Gilmore wrote. There is a pause, but not a vowel, after the the D. So it’s neither “dee-avros” nor “davros”. Then again daleks say “dock tor”.
Do you basically just ignore the apostrophe
Of course you do. Just like when commenting here. It pisses Ted off which is funny.
I ignore all unnecessary punctuation that might direct a tonal pronunciation. I learned this from listening to fluent Spanish speakers from N America who don’t go out of their way to be all rolly r ish or any ish for that matter. Not pronouncing words perfectly in a non native language is A ok in my experience.
You might want to reconsider if learning Mandarin. These all mean very different things:
mā má mǎ mà ma
I dont plan on learning chinaman.
That’s my view. I’ve never heard a French person abruptly break their accent and say “United States of America” with a perfect American accent.
Hell, you can tell if someone’s from the East side of Cleveland or the West side by how they pronounce the name of the city Mentor.
Fuck it. NSFW.

Making good use of that government money.
I want to know why if it’s ok for the government to give taxpayer money to PP, why it wouldn’t be ok to give taxpayer money to the NRA? Let the progs choke on that.
It’s just like money (1.6B last I checked) is spent on the VAWA. Who knows where it all goes? Although some of it goes to lobby for more money, which is illegal.
If Planned Parenthood should receive public money, maybe someone could make the argument that the NRA should receive public money as well since most of their activity is firearms competence training, and the whole public benefits when gun owners remember the safety rules.
I’m waiting for an opportunity to try this argument in real life.
That just reinforces a point I made the other day: Leftists think that vulgarity is a substitute for passion, insight, and boldness.
What The Fuck?

DJ live, but having some comp problems.. Grrr….
I don’t get this – are you hawking a subscription service?
Please correct if I am missing something.
Should be free. Tuesday went pretty good after the first half hour of figuring this shit out. Few hours of me spinning tracks live. While drunk. If I can make this work.
You’re killing me.
call me back when you’re underway.
or consider porting to Mixcloud, which AFAIK works.
I think both Bob and Barbara passed out.
I just heard some greek music, then an attempt at a mix, and now im hearing a sort of violent trainwreck of static and jazz piano.
In that case I will sign back in. I have never heard a piano hit by a train.

Storms are like every other day in the muggy midwest though.
Yesterday in my town we went from rather sunny with a few fluffy clouds to EF-3 tornado hitting part of the town in 32 minutes.
Potential for storms is like every other day rather.
I like, understood what you meant like, the first time.
But like, did you like, literally understand, like, what he meant?
True. However those boats are absolutely not suited for being in water in any type of weather. They barely suffice as a boat under good conditions. They are basically heavy busses that can float. Much discretion is called for when one decides to take 40 people out on the water in one. Pop up storms are sudden, but not unpredictable.
Those boats/trucks are not meant to be in water over 5r so ft deep. I had not seen a picture of one and now I think operating one on a lake is not so smart. I don’t care where the lake is. They would be a fun swamp ride where the bottom is two feet under the tires though. Hindsight quarterbacking and all, but I would not go on that thing if I was on vacation there unless they had free drinks and then I would be second guessing my judgement the whole trip.
Because they’re stupid?
Because fuck you, that’s why?
The video was nuts, very sad, always wear a PFD
Are you down with PFD?
Yeah you know me!

OPP, how can I explain it
I’ll take you frame by frame it
To have why’all jumpin’ shall we singin’ it
O is for Other, P is for People scratchin’ temple

Is that so Joss Whedon can sexually harass a negress?
Nothing can take my memories of Sarah Michelle Geller from my mind. Whatever.
Honestly, I never thought she was that hot.
(Also, I dated a girl named Sarah Geller)
Meh, leaves less imaginary people to win her imaginary affection. You do you, how ever gay that is.
“leaves less imaginary people to win her imaginary affection”
I have no idea what that means.
As if I had a chance with her, you not finding her attractive would mean I would have one less male to show dominance over to get to the rut.
OK
I believe I found our theme song…
I wont disagree, but no love for Anal Cunt ?

There was a hardcore punk band called Anal Fist, but when I try to search, I only find porn.

NSFW. Friday Glibs after dark.
Molyneaux and Southern on Skynews. Well I’ll be damned. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vod5wi-88yY
Still would Southern with extreme prejudice.
So you are saying you’re not totally gay?
I still don’t get the fascination here with these intellectual Hefty Bags.
Are there Moly fans here? His emphasis on IQ recently is over the line for me. I don’t get how he squares individualism with what he’s implicitly pushing.
I don’t know about fans, but he’s sure brought up a lot for such a shallow pool of thought.
He puts out a shitload of material, much of which is standard Rothbardian or Hayekian arguments. To get a daily fix, you’ve got who? Styx? Moly? Stapleton? Woods? I’d rather people rally around Woods, but if it’s Styx, I’m fine with that.
Anytime I’ve clicked or been linked to his videos I see no such thought, really no thought at all, simply assertions.
He has a standard Austrian explanation of business cycle theory. Not gonna search for it, but it’s definitely part of his overall philosophy.
I’ll take your word. I’m saying from what I’ve seen I have never been impressed with logical prowess and he seems like a shallow thinker. It doesn’t matter if he holds some ideas close to mine. Ted Kazinski did, doesn’t mean I’d watch his 45 minute youtube videos and link them all over.
He can be a way station towards Ancap, but not he goes off on odd tangents. Not my cup of tea, but he’s out there and has massive influence. Meh.
I could be forgetting things, but he seemed to be linked to far more on the old site. His videos just tended to bore me.
He just seems like a Bitch.
What chetta said. I hardly see his name around here.
Boring and self Absorbed, Styx is at least topical, Peace out!
His emphasis on IQ recently is over the line for me.
Ya, that is a weird line of thought imho. I get the lets do science thing, but I more think it is a ‘lets get views’ angle as described by Lauren in the video where she defends her movie title. They are selling themselves and to make money they need views.
Also, I think IQ tests are bullshit. The last time I said that I caught a bit of shit (Don’t remember if it was here or TOS) but it especially applies if we are doing that science as it pertains to immigration. I am not sure how an IQ can judge a persons potential contribution to society regardless of race. Ya, the lower numbers aren’t maybe giving us the Iphone, or study how many negatively charged gooseatron particles make up a darkgaggle, but the highest numerical ones damn sure arent going to don a pair of gloves and build you a house and in many cases be able to change their own burnt out light bulbs. Or at least that has been my life experience.
They simply look at IQ and metrics of success. They correlate pretty well even if you think they shouldn’t.
I still don’t get how Greenwald can be a socialist, he seems too smart.
https://mobile.twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1020329774483419136
Same with Thaddeus Russell. Give them both credit for thinking they can get their socialist state without violating civil liberties. Better than the ones that openly advocate using the boot to get their way.
It’s sad that they’ll be the first ones against the wall if we ever go commie. They deserve to live at least long enough to starve from a lack of rations during the hyperinflation stage.
They don’t deserve anything violent happening to them. Thaddeus, especially. The murderous cunts are just as guilty for killing people I disagree with as they are for killing any innocent person. If you don’t advocate violence against peaceful people, I’ll give you a lot of leeway on your stupid opinions.
I don’t follow. Greenwald has said the Russia narrative is mostly if not all bull, no? Is he saying here that Trump is in fact belligerent towards Russia and not a puppet?
The puppet angle is for retards of course.
It’s words versus actions.
Fantasy is much more comforting than reality. And it makes thinking so much easier when you don’t have to consider the myriad possibilities that reality creates.
George Orwell was the same way. Not that Greenwald is on Orwell’s level, but the same kind of thing. Genuinely smart people who genuinely think that democratic socialism can work.
“Socialism” can work as long as it’s voluntary. But it can’t work on a national level. Because nations have geographical borders. If you study MacLuhan, and look how much media has advanced since his time. With vast computer networks, non-state currency (ie. “cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin), etc. virtual “global villages” are possible. Except they would leave out much of the globe, and be a world on to themselves.
It is self inflicted delusion. Some people think that if everybody just thought about it for a bit, of course we all would love to live in one big happy commune like some of the stinky hippies used to live in. Some really smart people were stinky commune living hippies.
The way I see it is socialists haven’t figured out that, yes, humans can and do voluntarily operate/function in socialist structures but it doesn’t translate or transfer well into political socialism. That’s when they get stabby. Voluntarily being a key component determining if socialism among humans can work. If it’s coerced, pas bon.
Yes. I have no problem with a communist structure in a voluntary situation and it even works quite well in a small family unit; but the abuse of rights it would take to implement it on a scale the size of the US is monstrous.
Sports teams too but they maintain the individuality of the athlete. The coach rules but the successful ones don’t kill the soul of a player; they enhance it.
Political socialism murders the human spirit.
Well, in the sports team situation that would be more of a dictator/autocrat situation. A structure that has nothing to do with monetary policy. That is where ideas like Fascism are ‘right wing’ creep in, in using these strict definitions while ignoring the reality. The left and popular media see ‘fascism’ as ‘right wing’ because it used violence and relied on old ideas of what it meant to be ‘x’. We see fascism as left wing because, well that’s how they actually implemented it, by using the government to control business and personal lives.
‘Right’ on the socialist/Marxist/communist scale.
It’s a neat thing to believe they were ‘right wing’ ie conservative because it’s easy to attach it to Republicans and conservatives.
Japan had some serious heatwaves in ’45 too
Too soon!

OMFG! The media is running circles around me and SF on crazy things to write about Trump. We’re writing stories about him talking to his perverted junkie hat and his hair and yet the media is out crazying us. I can’t even…
If somehow you ever get a bunch of money to do your comics I would love to see a martial arts themed Trump feature. Trump v Kim, Putin, maybe even a Kareem Abdul Jabbar cameo before he has to attack some weird seven headed Rosie O Donnell or something.
Not sure how I could outdo College Humor back when they were funny.
Há, há, I love how Putin has a Pats ring.
Wow, they actually were funny once upon a time…
Everyone got their tin foil hat on tight?
