Anyone who routinely carries a gun outside of an actual war zone is a coward and a putz.

Prices were 8.5% higher in March than a year earlier.
“Transitory” losers continue to be losers. Well, we’re all losers, but they’re wrong losers, which is even worse.
Sur What
All the left idiots advocating Ukraine surrendering to Russia for the sake of “peace”…would you surrender if Russia or some other country invaded your home, killed your husband, your brother, your grandmother, raped your wife, raped you? I know a lot of you are cowards and probably would crawl on your bellies to give up. But most wouldn’t.
No, most would fight. And would be right to do it. All that happens if Ukraine surrenders is that all of the above continues and accelerates with no one making the Russians pay for every bit of blood they spill and for every woman and child they abuse. Resisting isn’t just about winning. It’s also about self-respect and self-determination.
So much of the left doesn’t seem to understand that because they have never had to do anything hard in their lives. Ask me why I walked the same path to and from school in ninth grade even though I knew I was going to get my ass beat every day. Then you might understand why the Ukrainians are still fighting, and why they have to do so.
Yeah, Trust ‘Em
Drip drip drip… as time passes, more keeps coming out about how top scientists were publicly calling the lab-accident hypothesis for the pandemic a conspiracy theory — yet privately fretting about the "nightmare of circumstantial evidence to assess"… https://t.co/0Gi6CF8TfF

Experts…deceiving and lying? HOW COULD THIS BE????

Stock and Trade
I think one thing that ties 95% of the online left together is a literal child’s comprehension of the stock market.

Ha! I’ve observed the same thing. And in some ways it doesn’t matter. The left is actually correct: the stock market is mostly bad and hurts more people than it ever helps, especially as it operates now. It’s legalized theft and upward redistribution. That they have no idea how it works is kind of irrelevant. They get the gist that it is in fact theft.
It’s kind of like if someone mugs you with a pistol and you call it a Glock 19 but it’s really a Ruger 57. What fucking difference does it make? You still got robbed. Stock market is the same.

Hey, at least they got the AI working right in that area!
Covidians Whining
Exactly. This is like Provincetown all over again: a vax success story. Of course no one wants to get COVID & we are *not* done. We’ll *never* be done protecting our most vulnerable patients & populations. But complete/total avoidance of an endemic virus isn’t compatible w living

Yep. Vaccines working. Nothing to see here. Except Covidian whining, which should be ignored.
Must Destroy
When we get to the point where acknowledging reality about a disease is “ableist” or “classist” or whatever it’s like words have lost all meaning.
Keeping people in a terrified state of isolation is not the public health slam dunk certain people seem to imagine.

We must destroy the village to save the village.
Socially…What?
Last week I saw the term "socially promiscuous" float by on Twitter. It breaks my heart, but it also terrifies me. We've allowed this crisis to damage us so deeply that many now see simple joy and togetherness as grave moral trespasses. It hurts everyone.
— Steph C. (@sieenns) April 11, 2022
I guess I am socially promiscuous now. What. The. Fuck.
It was true before the pandemic, but the libs attempting to quantify the utility of joy is really a terrible scourge and those people need to be rhetorically destroyed. The pandemic, though, made them so much worse and dogmatic. They are terrible, and there seem to be a whole lot of them.
Was Strange
Instead of balancing costs/benefits, we got gems like:
– School isn't important
– Babies don't need to see faces (from AAP!)
– Masks can help with learning (in NYT!)— Kelley K * covid-georgia.com (@KelleyKga) April 11, 2022
That was strange, all the wacky-ass shit the lockdown lifer forever maskers went on about and attempted to get us to believe.
Sincerity
I used to think that people generally knew when their propaganda was lies. But ever since I saw the Russian soldiers bring dress uniforms to Ukraine, I’m starting to think that “getting high on their own supply” is far more common than I realized. https://t.co/re9QJ0JVW0

The very best propaganda is that believed by the propagandists themselves. I think this is the case more often than not.

Damn. Nuclear wars are fun for the whole family.
Telling Nothing
Note to historians: saying "World War II was all about empire" sounds clever but doesn't actually explain anything. It doesn't explain how the sides aligned, what claims they made, what soldiers went into it believing, and in the name of what millions of people were murdered.
— Moshik Temkin (@moshik_temkin) April 5, 2022
Ascribing the complexity of WWII to “empire” is a way of getting out of thinking and really understanding what happened and why. It’s like when explaining why someone did something and saying, “Well, they’re just bad.” It doesn’t tell you anything at all.

Every registered voter in France gets a packet in the mail with campaign literature from every candidate before the vote. When you open Le Pen’s, here are the two main themes that appear first: cost-of-living and economic growth/defending the French social model. pic.twitter.com/RZDATQUb20
