This is one of your best ones yet (and I'm not just saying that because I agree with this one).

Thanks. I can't stand faux-libertarians who slap that flag on their bumper right next to a "thin blue line" flag or a "love it or leave it" sticker.

Inspiration struck me after the Reaganfan thread.

Ok, I have a confession to make: I don't know where the Grand Mufti meme got started and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

I don't remember who the exchange was with, but it was a non-sequitur from a discussion on gun control (I think?) to an accusation on condemning the Grand Mufti or all of the other points the poster made were invalid.

My memory is fuzzy, but I believe it was something Fuzzy Bear said (I forget the context) to one of our Palestinian posters (TSA?), to the effect that we cannot know for sure that he is not an anti-semite until he publicly condemns the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

My memory is a bit Fuzzy, but SoA is - I believe - a Muslim of Palestinian descent and Fuzzy disagreed with something he said so he started randomly demanding that SoA denounce the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem for being a Nazi collaborator.  It happened so often over like three days that folks started randomly asking each other whether they'd denounced the Grand Mufti today.

And when SoA didn't comply Fuzzy declared him a "fan" of the Grand Mufti.

Yes, but only because I'm the worlds laziest degenerate and I've  actually had less time during the commie cough.

I need to download MS paint so I can make a Dule meme with the TLOU2 choking scene.

Don't ban Dule! He's the "last" of us!

Describing them would break the character limit.

If I’m being honest though I actually think you’re a fair bit closer to being “conservative” than whatever Reaganite they put you up against (unless that’s NCYankee?—in which it’s the reverse).

I've been trying to figure out Cath's exact views for years.

[lfromnj]

Where do you put your political views today and how have they evolved?

Hello, lfromnj! For much of my childhood I was a fairly conventional neoconservative, as I grew up in a Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin household. In my mid-late teens I was in more of a libertarian phase before becoming more communitarian. That third phase had much to do with college--I had economic prospects that I didn't think fairly highly of, and I was in sociology and CJ classes where the deleterious effect of poverty and welfare cuts on social order were discussed. This was at its height in 2016, primarily because it seemed a lot of conservative politicians had staked their defining issue of what civilization was around tax rates, which struck me as silly and rather petty, so I adopted the opposite view. I've definitely calmed down since then and I'd say my ideological stances generally tend to prioritize public order, social integration, family affordability, and so on. Among more right-wing friends I'm still definitely open to looking like a squishy liberal because democratization and the threat of de-democratization are issues that are fairly important to me (owing to academic concentration), so regardless of policy preferences I'd take issue with certain C. European leaders.

To some extent these issues aren't reflected in my policy priorities, however, which, owing to the times we live in, would probably rank environmental stuff fairly close to the top. My turnaround on environmental issues specifically has been rather contextual--I think it's fairly obvious that weather is changing, and as a cold weather guy, I'm not particularly fond of this. Were I to self parody right now, I'd also mention (a) that hotter weather increases crime rates; and (b) traditional American values involve snowy New England Christmases, so my stance is fairly conservative. I've also got a weakness for fitness issues, which I often display only sarcastically, here and in real life.

Closest I got !

Can you believe both Fuentes and Kirk grew up (and the former still lives) in the west Chicago burbs?

I’m sure it’s funny, I just don’t get the bottom part.

The problem is that Dule is skilled enough at what he does to inspire imitation from people who lack his wit. It's not funny when less creative people recycle jokes for the sake of getting attention, especially when the copy their form without grasping the underlying spark.
