What do you mean? I can’t think of anything more stable than a grown man burning children’s dolls on the internet after watching a movie based on a toy designed for 6-12 year old girls.

Christians are often times the least Christ-like people you’ll ever meet.

It didn’t “infect” anything. It was always here. I noticed it when I moved from Vancouver to Calgary as a kid. If you live in one of Canada’s three major cities, you just aren’t exposed to it, but the second you get into the suburbs or further, it’s on full display. There’s a reason we had Harper for an entire decade, gagging scientists, cutting corporate taxes, cuts to education and health care, and driving profits into the hands of the rich.

Latinos subscribe heavily to the machismo personality = good, and that any threat against it is a threat to their existence. They are raised religious with heavy incentive on strong family structures, something that conservatives use as a weapon to curry favor.

Asians tend to be extremely conservative, particularly Chinese immigrants. They grew up in an authoritarian world, and view the progressive policies of the West as antithetical to their own. They don’t care if Trump is a racist, or blames them for the Kung Flu, because he represents their views on what a government should be.

Stop calling them conservatives. This level of ultranationalism has fascist written all over it.

The both sides message is particularly insidious because it takes a real criticism and then equates it with something that is potentially much worse. It does nothing but limit options, and breeds nihilistic cynicism and nothing more. The worst part about it is that it is based on an absolute lie: the idea of both sides being the same doesn’t make any fucking sense, because in this world nothing is the same. If it was the same, it wouldn’t need to have a distinction. It’s an argument against progress, and therefore a wholly conservative viewpoint in that it states that rather than choosing the best of the two options to not bother at all. To stay the same, or even revert.

It’s totally dystopian and reminds me of Russian propaganda, which is designed to erode faith in everything, so that the people in power can make the decisions while the people feel helpless.

You could have Trump come out and say it to him directly and he wouldn’t believe it anyways. Your friend chooses to believe what they believe the way a fanatic believes in their delusions. It only serves to reaffirm their belief structure, and nothing else. If Trump pulled a 180 tomorrow, these people would simply claim that he has been brainwashed or that he’s a paid imposter, or anything else.

They are aggressively stupid. They would rather take the whole ship down with them, than admit they might be wrong.

I dunno about all that. He wasn’t exactly a beacon of intellectualism when he was young either.

Watch Niger descend into total degeneracy sponsored by Russian meddling. Way to fuck yourselves and your entire country over for years to come.

It’s honestly right in everyone’s face and yet mentioning it people will act like it’s some sort of fringe conspiracy. No, motherfucker. It’s their policy. They’re open about it and they leave a paper trail.

Oh. I mean, I get it to some extent, but according to the article, it states it was filmed before QAnon was a thing. It seems to just be piggybacking on the classic conspiracy of rich people taking children away for their own nefarious deeds, which… wasn’t that the plot of Season 1 of True Detective? Also, wasn’t it kind of the plot of real life, with the revelations of Epstein’s whole operation?

I dunno man, I’ll have to watch the movie to decide, but it seems like people are applying QAnon shit to this movie, when I’m skeptical as to that being the director/writer’s intent. Especially since from what little I’ve read about the director, he doesn’t seem like a conspiracy nut at all. Reminds me a lot of when the Proud Boys started wearing Fred Perry and all of sudden it was deemed a ultra-right brand.

I mean, Barbie started out as anything but feminist, so maybe that’s why. Didn’t the Simpsons do a whole episode on how sexist the whole Barbie concept was back in the 90s? I honestly have no clue, I don’t know fucking anything about Barbie.

What makes it a QAnon film? It’s my first time hearing about it, but I enjoy a lot of those actors, and the synopsis doesn’t seem overly right wing or anything. Seems like a paint by numbers vigilante cop movie.

He doesn’t want to know that. He’d rather tell you what Barbie and, by proxy, other women are.

Man, I dunno about you, but as someone who vaped and smoked weed a couple years back, the vaping was way worse for me. I would get these weird phlegmy coughs that I never got from smoking. I think part of it is that vapes hits feel so weak, so I would end up just power dragging my hits, causing this effect. There were days where I swear my lungs actually felt like they hurt.

Stopped vaping and haven’t had this issue since. Anecdotal, but there you go.

It’s never enough for these people. She could literally be pulling carbon out of the environment with her bare hands, and people would say something like “wow, look at her doing it to get all the attention for herself”

D’ya like dagsböter?

I’m sure if Harriet Tubman was active today, she would be facing the same sort of bullshit as Greta. Probably worse thanks to her complexion.
