JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

the left is responsible for the sexual revolution, maybe the most important development for guys trying to get laid in human history. the right opposes it to this day.
The left is completely silent on the subject of men getting laid - which, generally speaking, they are v.interested in doing and will continue to be interested in regardless of whether progressives want to talk about it. So the stage has been left entirely clear for the far-right.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

About today's public transit discourse: I believe that riding public transit is a spiritual good for increasing your empathy and practicing minding your own business. It also helps you internalize that most people mind their own business, e.g. no one is looking at you.
