Well, guess we can't allow them to inhabit our civilization then. They're simply incompatible with it.

There's a reason my game purchases have absolutely cratered over the last decade. Plenty of good masterpieces to revisit and nothing good coming out.

It would have been taken as what it was? How unexpected.

But blacks earn it more, so...

That whole "jury of your peers" thing seems to be rather important and tragically overlooked as a core component of our justice system's ability to function in a just manner.

I've been saying this for almost a decade now.

My old man thinks he's clever and has a handle both sides of things because he'll sometimes watch fox news or tune in to talk radio and make snide comments. His brain would absolutely fry if I showed him /pol/ and told him that's where he should be getting his news if he wants to have even the faintest inkling of what exists on the Right.

Alternative media sources are a completely alien concept to the Boomer. They don't realize that all the sources they rail about being Right Wing Propaganda (ie, Fox) are actually just another arm of the same media apparatus that promulgates their worldview and politics. It's why Trump is so utterly terrifying to them. They have no idea where he or people who support him came from because they're so completely unplugged from actual information and grassroots sentiment.

What is this creature doing in the American government?

No more foreigners.

I'm pretty sure you need to incorporate THAC0 if you want to keep out the riff raff.

I want everyone involved pilloried for a month.

I'm beginning to understand why every culture has a longstanding tradition of backhanding mouthy broads. The fact that this is happening is the death knell of society.

Pack it up boys, we're all done here. Time to find a good place to take the long nap and hope for a better dream.

I'll ask again:

Have you ever been punched in the face by someone who knows how to throw a punch?

I'm not looking forward to any of it. I think this will ultimately just further isolate people.

More like they're extremely committed to becoming outright Indian companies, but same difference.

I weep for the coming technological dark age.

If not Islamic, then certainly foreign. No way a White person did this and they don't plaster his face wall to wall all across the nation.

Even if everything else was in his favor, it is not proportional to use potentially lethal force against ordinary force.

You can only identify that difference after the fact. You don't know if that punch to the face is going to end with you getting a bloody nose or if it's going to be followed up with a curb stomping of your skull on the pavement.

Have you ever been punched in the face before by someone who knows how to throw a punch?

Proportionality

I have my doubts about this being relevant in a discussion of violence. Proportionality is the sort of thing you can have in a sparring match but not in a real fight where someone has malicious intent. Someone taking a swing at your head is every bit as much of a threat as them going at you with a knife or a gun, which most people simply don't realize.

Yes. Obviously.

There's also a good case to be made for banning them from the internet entirely.

However at this point I'll settle for banning social media itself because that's a more realistic goal.

Queen of Wands creator fell off the face of the internet and didn't have any drama during her tenure from what I recall. Definitely one of my favorite comics and really did a good job of capturing the feeling of the era in which it was written. It's a nice little time capsule to revisit now and again.

I think it's bigger than that, but you've certainly outlined a core component of what's gone wrong and needs to be fixed if we're to see any sort of recovery.

Well there's also the breakdown of social cohesion on an industrial scale that's causing untold millions of people to become lonely and despair at even the prospect of finding someone to form a healthy relationship with. Hell even the unhealthy relationships are starting to dwindle. Is it any wonder porn use is so rampant? No one is looking to address the collapse of social health.

No. They're an important part of American history. They must be prosperous and healthy.

I think it may be as simple as "he can't handle being trolled on twitter". Dude just doesn't belong on the internet and thinks the solution is to irreversibly damage the internet rather than sort his own shit out and log off. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

I think anyone who pushes for the end to online anonymity ought to be viewed the same way you view someone who wants to slit your throat, either on the street or via government thugs showing up on your doorstep. It's a deliberate threat against one's physical wellbeing. These people are evil and wish harm upon you, make no mistake.

Put more simply: he is evil.
