The BlueSwan Basement of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VIII

[Santander]

A lot of 2016 style arguments ITT. Trump basically showed that a very high number of Hispanic voters don’t give a sh**t about immigrant bashing since they themselves support it. Any Republican will get 25%+ of them to their side no matter how much white liberals complain.

Latinx =/= Mexican, even though they're practically synonymous in Technocracy Timmy's neck of the woods.

This is true since nobody is Latinx.

Its funny how white liberals decided that Latinos’ word for themselves is sexist and invented a new word.  99% of the time I hear Latinx its not from a latino.

"Latino" is a term literally manufactured by the LA Times in the 90s. (well, they actually started using it in the 80s, but they started to really push it in the 90s) It was originally used as a neuter term, since it was an English fabrication, not a Spanish one. "Latina" came afterwards. Granted, "Hispanic", in the American sense, was also a fabrication.

It's interesting how in America "Asian" always means East Asian, while in Britain "Asian" basically means Pakistani.

In North America, most "Asians" were historically Chinese.  In the UK, they were Indians and Pakistanis.

Yes, we did get the better end of that stick.

Open racism from dull0! Should be no surprise considering he is a "libertarian".

[Santander]

Spanking should be a criminal offense.

I'm sorry, but in world is that absurd or ignorant?

Intell thinks it absurd that child abuse should be illegal.

It’s because Intell wants to return to a world where working class union white men go home and beat their kids with a black belt and then go to rape their wife.

Thank you for posting directly into the thread.

Being a conservative gives you white privilege no matter your race

It's true though.

[Santander]

Being a conservative gives you white privilege no matter your race

It's true though.

So your saying I’m privileged because of what my political views are

I'm not. I'm saying your political views are what they are because you're privileged.

Ok how much do you think my parents make a year.

Judging by your posting history I would estimate about 60 to 70 billion dollars annually. It would be foolish to have such right-wing economic views if it were any less.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH can you actually give a serious answer

He's right.

[Santander]

But the government shouldn't be in the buisness of building housing. It's expensive and it blights cities. The only reason houses are expensive is because developers can't build the mlikns of unites of housing the market demands. Liberalize zoning, and every city in the country would have one bedroom apartments at below $1,000 per month. For the few people who can't afford that, we can turn to solutions like tax credits.

Holy sh!t...

[Santander]

Like you've never beat a dead horse before.

[Santander]

I'm thrilled to see somebody has the courage to tell it how it is. While it may not appear like it, we are living in a global Holocaust now. Christians are being persecuted throughout the world, white genocide is taking place throughout Africa, the left-wing fascists are looking seize guns and property, and medical experimentation is taking place on the general population!

I feel like putting a dedicated ****poster here is shooting fish in a barrel. That post might as well have come from /pol.

Or Stormfront. I've seen the kind of sad sh!t that goes on there, and this would fit in just fine.

[Santander]

Dang, this is the first thing I've heard that makes me actually want to support Kamala Harris.

How Libertarian.

Using the state to oppress people you dislike. It’s the Libertarian way.

It's just an idiotic thing to do while you're in prison. The risk of infection or some other complication is high, and prison medical resources would have to be used to care for him if that were to happen. Having purely cosmetic surgery in prison is stupid. I'm glad Harris didn't bow to the nutjob wing of her party on this one.

Yep, plus, it can be abused by men who want access to women's prisons. 

 

[Santander]

All of this said, I would believe allegations like this against certain other politicians. That's because some certain politicians are known to have policies that are intentionally designed to harm people. I'm thinking of some of the members of Congress who support things like cutting Social Security.

Wow...

[Santander]

Solid, of all people, should not be suggesting renaming this thread after anyone.

[Santander]

One of the worst figures in recent American history, topped only by truly terrible people like David Duke.

Dr. Duke's policy proposals from the early 90s have basically become mainstream and respectable in the Republican party today. It's just the overt anti-Semitism/white nationalism and explicit racism that are missing.

Wrong because.....?

Even Steve King isn’t as bad as David Duke let alone the rest of the GOP

That....doesnt answer the question. Not even remotely.

Beep boop's current operating system doesn't currently have English installed.

[Santander]

At this point I think this thread should be renamed in  "honor" of Yellowhammer/Pickup Paulite.

Endorsed, what a troubled young man.

[Santander]

Santander, Solid, and Horus endorsing a name change don't really make me more inclined to do it.

True, but three broken clocks can be right at the same time.

[Santander]

If there was a trash pile for blatantly racist posts I'd put it there, but:

Sadly, he represents your average Israeli quite well.

His entire posting history is a trash pile of blatant antisemitism.

[Santander]

Anyone who voted for Roy Moore, Corey Stewart, or Rick Scott in 2017 or 2018.

Rick Scott, seriously, comparing him to the other two is just wrong

It's like me saying anyone who voted for Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, or Jon Tester in 2018 is bad

Indeed, Rick Scott is far worse.

>Saying Rick Scott is worse than a theocratic pedophile, a neo-Confederate, or an anti-Semite

That is how bad he is, yes.

[Santander]

Seriously hoping this is some bad attempt at satire...

pro-choice, for eugenist (eugenistic?) reasons, but slightly uncomfortable with this question. Technically, this is an obvious murder. But emotionnally, no comparison with the death of a young baby.

My mom had a miscarriage some years ago, and I felt nothing. But I would never says abortion is a moral thing.

By exemple, the feminist stance "my body belongs to me" is false, in this case, because the foetus is not THEIR body.

So, I share argues of pro-life people, but for eugenics, malthusianims and selfishness (I never wanted children), I stand on the pro-choice side, but not with pro-choice people. Hard to explain that clearly.

It's better than the psychos who want to ban all abortion without exception.

LMAO

What's Cornyn's reason for tweeting this 🤔

Maybe trying to raise awareness about the fact that the hispanics are coming in massive hordes, trying to replace the people (Anglo-Americans) that made Texas into what it is. Before you scream racist, I want you to just look at California, they let too many illegals in, and because of this, Anglos have lost dominance, essentially turning into a liberal cesspool. By the time Wilson got elected, it was already too late.

But I know better than to call this post r*cist, because that would be an "offensive personal attack", and would make me one of those "SJWs", since everyone living outside the liberal ivory tower bubble knows racism is dead (expect against white Christian men.)

Either way, has this thread been named after this totally not r*cist poster before?

It's the deluge for absurd and ignorant posts, not racist ones.

[Santander]

I propose a rename of this thread.

No. White people absolutely will re-elect this pedophile rapist because he espouses their racial resentment and legitimizes it.

Where's the lie though?

538 just released an article showing that racial resentment has actually decreased during Trump's presidency.

Yeah, because the racist a**holes couldn't stand a black guy in the White House.

[Santander]

This is lower-quality writing than the Turner Diaries.

Dude you know it’s true though.

Republicans would reject a modern day Jesus.

I mean, I'd reject him too since OG Jesus wasn't the Messiah.

I vaguely remember that user saying he was Jewish, so it makes sense that he doesn't see Jesus as the Messiah. Not to mention many other religions and secular people think the same way as well, so it is hardly an "absurd & ignorant" view.

Yes and I would consider the views of all such people to be absurd and ignorant too. And also the views of many Christians too.

Why not just post the entire contents of the Religion board here?

[Santander]

You’ve been brainwashed, dude. Open a history book for once, you will see that climate has always changed, until 12 thousand years ago the northern hemisphere was regularly covered by ices, this era is called the Pleistocene, during this era you had four separate glaciation periods, then 11.700 years ago the Pleistocene ended and with it the Ice ages periods. And all of this happened without any human activity.

While all of this is true, none of it has anything to do with the current global warming caused by humans burning fossil fuels (among other things, like industrial farming).

CLIMATE HAS ALWAYS CHANGED, that’s my point. Climate changed before humans even existed and it will continue after we will have disappeared from the Earth. We have no influence on it

Your brain on conservatism.

7% is the number generally recommended by financial planners.

For instance https://www.thesimpledollar.com/where-does-7-come-from-when-it-comes-to-long-term-stock-returns/

I am aware that this assumption underlies most retirement planning. We can debate whether it's a sound one in an era of diminishing population growth and declining returns on investment. We can also debate the political implications of this in a country in which ~90% of stocks are owned by ~10% of households and nearly half own none at all.

Was your posting this in the "absurd & ignorant posts" thread and sarcastically implying it was an unreasonable assumption just an attempt to "start a conversation" then?

No, it was indeed a ridiculous post.

[Santander]

MSNBC has gotten much better over the past 5 years. From 2004-2014 it was the Democratic version of Fox but not anymore

Somehow, you manage to be wrong on absolutely everything. MSNBC today is more the left-wing Fox than it ever was pre-2014.

MSNBC used to have : Keith Olbermann, Ed Shultz , Kristal Ball, Mellisa Harris-Perry, Dylan Ratigan and even Cenk Uygur

No.

As for why these students should be allowed to go to school, beyond what was already said:

• They're minors. They don't get to choose where their parents take them. We should not punish them for the mistakes of their parents.
• American schools don't have a citizenship requirement for attendance.
• Undocumented migrants pay taxes, too.

The laws of the United States are not suspended in public schools.  There is no reason ICE should not be in schools enforcing the laws of the United States any more than School Resource Officers or Child Protective Services should not be in schools.  You don't like the law.  Too bad.  Work to change it, but obey it and enforce it until it's changed.

The idea that American schools "don't have a citizenship requirement" is kind of a red herring.  They have residence requirements.  Just try to enroll your child in that "better" school district whose boundaries start 3 blocks from your house.  The idea the "undocumented migrants" pay taxes is ridiculous; they don't pay the taxes that fund schools (which, for better or worse, are property taxes in most locales).  

Now I do believe in allowing the children of illegal immigrants to attend public schools.  It's in the interest of American citizens that we do that.  (And, by the way, it's ONLY what's in the interest of American citizens that matters here.)  We have had our time in history where we had "street urchin" children roaming the streets idly.  (My Dad, who would be 109 years old if he were alive today, was placed in an orphanage when his Mom died because his Dad did not believe he could work the hours he needed to work and keep tabs on my Dad and his brother, and my Dad grew up to attend Ohio University at a time when going to college was a BIG deal.)  That was not a good thing.  I believe in giving illegal aliens driver licenses so they can get insurance so that when they inflict damage on others from poor driving, impacted motorists and passengers won't have to lean on the "uninsured motorist coverage" pool.  

But these people aren't owed crap, and should only be given (by taxpayer dollars) what is in the interest of American citizens.  We don't owe illegal aliens anything, and we owe our citizens safety and fiscal soundness.  The wave of illegal aliens in America undermine both of those.

This post actually saddened me.
