[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

BRTD's sig, 1776:


Famous True Leftists:

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

1975:

Snowstalker: Excellent! Comrade Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge liberation movement have finally seized Cambodia! Now a true proletariat state can be established there and all western bourgeoisie elements properly purged!

[Mechaman]

1975:

Mechaman: BRTD, nobody cares.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

1868:

BRTD: Seriously think about it. What has True Leftism in the Congress brought us? True Leftism has brought us the genocidal occupation of the South.

(Topic: Opinion of Thaddeus Stevens)

BRTD: HP. A True Leftist (D)

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

1850: BRTD is moving to the South, so he can buy some slaves and force them to become his own emoviolence band

BRTD: Now I can do moshing to my very own band!

1868:

BRTD: Seriously think about it. What has True Leftism in the Congress brought us? True Leftism has brought us the genocidal occupation of the South.

(Topic: Opinion of Thaddeus Stevens)

BRTD: HP. A True Leftist (D)

Mechaman: BRTD, it is 1868 and nobody still cares!

When did this thread turn into an excuse to beat people you don't like over the head with ridiculously exaggerated strawmen?

And Thaddeus Stevens wasn't a True Leftist. He belonged to the more progressive (at the time) party. He was more like a 19th century Alan Grayson (without the domestic abuse allegations) so I would've loved him. You seem to be implying 19th century BRTD would be a Moderate Hero, rather than a staunch progressive who is also opposed to True Leftism in addition to the right wing.

Taking everything seriously is yet another of your flaws, my friend.

Write my speech, 6 words at a time:

Abraham Lincoln: Four score and seven years ago
Grumps: was the last time Bushie went
Antonio on a walk or ate fruit.
Jack Enderman: Now, as president, I suggest that
Grumps: we bang everything that we can.

Are you F#cking serious? You're going to compare a legitimate, significant, and serious legislator to Alan freakin' Grayson? My God, man.

Some typical forum moderate hero in 1799: "Can you just imagine how ridiculous this true leftist Thomas Paine will look in a couple of centuries? He's not a Christian, and called for this thing called an old age pension, and said all the slaves should be freed. That's so extreme left-wing that it's unbelievable that the other founding fathers had anything to do with him."

It's inevitable that anything on atlas be used to express someone's political views. Flowing from that is the conclusion that it would be used to ridicule those of others.

This thread is mostly for comedic purposes, anyway.

Wow, Dulles is even more of a FF than I thought.

Not going to vote FF on a plutocratic tax cheat.

And while many of North Korea's policies and the views on the North Korean far left are reprehensible and the US should be willing to criticize their government, remember that the Korean conflict does not operate in a vacuum. I'm sure you all understand why North Korea may have developed a siege mentality since 1952?

Revolutionary era:


Marat: I demand at least one hundred thousands heads!
Mechaman: Marat, nobody cares.


Saint-Just: Inks Capet should be judged not as a moderator or even a poster, but as a traitor, an enemy who deserves death. As for me I see no middle ground: this user must moderate or die! He oppressed a free forum; he declared himself its enemy; he abused the ToS: he must die to assure the repose of the posters, since it was in his mind to crush the posters to assure his own.
Lief: !!!1
Inks: Huh What the hell did I ever do to you?


Eraserhead: Dave Leip, the people have spoken. We want our most prolific (and probably most iconic) poster as a member of the Committee of Public Safety.
Joe Republic: Reported to the Revolutionary Tribunal.

BRTD would make a fantastic Robespierre (who was a huge FF, btw).

Charlotte_C: I'm female, 24, from Normandy.
Marat: LEL!
Charlotte_C: What?
Marat: We don't need any girls on here

Antonio V: Guys, where's Marat?

Well, I'm a bit surprised to see you advocating BRTD's head to be cut off, but I'm glad you are finally on the right side

Say what you want about Lief, but at least he doesn't support punishing rape victims for being raped.
