The Atlas Asylum of absurd/ignorant posts IX

Chris Christie would be a strong contender: Governor of a Rock-hard blue state, wasn't a pushover by the media/unions, a straight-talker, told it like it was, had good approvals most of his terms, he's Italian (POC).

he's Italian (POC).

WHAT YEAR IS IT

NewYorkExpress is underrated as far as all-around strange posters go

No one, because he'll dissolve Congress, sack his Vice President and rule alone as a dime store Adolf Hitler (genocide against minority groups included for a small fee.)

Lee Harvey Oswald, with the full knowledge and support of Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson. (LBJ really wanted to be a historically great President, and wasn't above using a martyred JFK to get there.)

YE (I can't in good conscience vote against a moderator).

18.

However, we need a maximum voting age (largely because disenfranchising old people can only benefit Democrats).

I'll go as far as to say that if Cuomo is the Democratic nominee in 2022, this race is Safe R.

This is precisely why the First Amendment needs to go.

Harris (or anyone to the right of The Squad) is going to be railroaded into selecting AOC/Pressley/Tliab if she gets the nomination to be VP.

The only good solution would be wiping Moscow off the map.

if your standards for "horrible human being" are "cheated on your wife" than about 85% of the male population are horrible human beings.

And I don't agree with Senator Sanders. We need to ban gun manufacturing here, and sanction countries who do manufacture guns.

I find it interesting that arguably the most auth poster on Atlas isn't particularly "extreme" in a far-right far-left sense. He's not a communist or something, he's just a Democrat who believes that disagreement means death. Very strange.

You have no more of a "right" to watch pornography than you have a "right" to own slaves.

I never considered him or those who think like them to be my equals, but I’m tired of treating those like him like they’re even fit to shine my shoes or exist in the same multiverse when it comes to morality.

We are good and they are evil. Simple as, no compromises or apologies.

Everyone bow down to the King of Morality, SAAuthCapitalist! Truly, none of us mere evil humans are fit to breathe the same air or even exist in the same "multiverse" as him. O glorious teacher, show us the true way, so that we can hope to approach your level!

In all seriousness, I'm getting big "drunk Alben Barkley" energy from this guy. It's amusing.

How someone apparently reacts when they feel the need to comment on something they know nothing about and somebody else calls their bluff.

B. Provide an already-created, in-depth, study that critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society, and that we oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project.

I think everyone here can agree White supremacy is bad, so the goal here would be to teach that. So why are they keeping capitalism in the same line?

That page, especially that paragraph, is one of the best things to show to drive people to vote Republican. This is absolutely insane indoctrination. I didn't realize how serious this problem was

The evils of capitalism are just as dangerous as the evils of racism and of militarism.

Do you know who said that, DTC?

MLK had a lot of moronic ideas

You realize that quoting MLK doesn’t automatically make you correct, right? Saying that MLK had some bad ideas or disagreeing with his position on capitalism isn’t “absurd” or “ignorant” lol.

[NYDem]

I'm also skeptical of this story, not because leftist circles aren't overrun with antisemites (because they are) but rather because they use words like zionist in place of Jew.

You just don't understand the definition of words. You're from Nebraska, right? Well ... Yeah, so, someone can be critical of Israel's program of ethnic cleansing, without actually being anti-Semitic. As many American Jews are. Now, if you had actual evidence of liberals saying anti-Semitic things, that would be different. But you don't. Plenty of evidence of Donald Trump saying anti-Semitic things, but it's all about the land grab, amirite?

Thank you for educating me. Lol, why does the left have to be so goddamn sanctimonious and unpleasant?

Because it's what you're asking for. I tried to tell a number of my acquaintances how stupid it would be to elect Trump, but they didn't listen. And now hundreds of thousands of people are dead, completely unnecessarily. So when someone like me offers to educate you, you need to get on your knees and listen. Because I'm trying to prevent you from doing something immensely destructive to yourself and your family.

What does this mean?

It means that not everyone is necessarily intellectually capable of weighing in on current affairs. Certainly, Trump supporters are not. And you may not be, either, given some of the BS you've spewed.

Tell it to me straight, doc. What are my family and I about to do that will be immensely destructive to us?

No, I think I'm pretty much done with your attempts to hijack this thread. Yeah, Israel is currently engaged in ethnic cleansing, along with an effort to purchase U.S. Congressional representatives. No, you can't actually name examples of prominent U.S. leftists who espouses anti-Semitic rhetoric. Likewise, Donald Trump's brigade of morons has caused tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, and if you're one of the morons in question, no, I can't help you. You need to start listening to people who are smarter than you, so you don't continually embarrass the more conservative parts of this country.

I say they're all trash, and y'all keep proving it.

Lol, how am I suppose to hear your brilliance if you refuse to share it with me?

I've already shared it with you: you can't name any examples of U.S. Congressional reps who are actually anti-Semitic, so you're just spouting BS.

You need to listen to the people that you believe are beneath you, because believe me, your behavior is a perfect example of why everyone outside of the left hates the left. The disgusting and elitist White Man's Burden that you've taken upon yourself is not welcome in the vast majority of this country and you will continue to lose in this country until you get it through your head that no one wants to be "civilized" by the likes of you.

No, the problem everyone has with "the left" is that "the left" is always right. So if you're an unvaccinated Trump supporter living in WV, yeah, you're a retard, and you've probably amplified the atrocious fatality rate of your failed state. And no, I don't care about your idiotic political opinions. You're beneath me, as you've consistently demonstrated time and time again.

You're an animal, and you need to understand that I don't respect the opinions of stupid animals.

The last line is one of the more condescending things I've read on this forum, and that's saying a lot. Not surprising at all given the poster though.

[NYDem]

I am actually glad he is saying this. Good for Braun.

All the Dems here who are squealing are the same ones who have people in the party like Maxine Waters, etc. who are probably not happy that Judge Ketanji is married to a WHITE MAN!!

WHITE MAN BAD. WHITE MAN EEEVILLLLL!!!!!!!

Yet, the irony of this is that white liberal men like Bradley Cooper, Tim Ryan, Travis Kelce, etc. hang around this stuff.

I know like 50% of Hollywood posts could go in this thread, but I didn’t even know how to respond to this one:

I mentioned this a few days ago, but Republicans risk falling into the trap of defending pre-Roe abortion bans that come back into effect if Roe is overturned. It's true that most Americans, when polled, would ban abortion somewhere between 12 and 24 weeks, but these laws go WAY further than that. Pre-Roe bans generally didn't make exceptions for rape or incest, and don't allow abortion at any stage of pregnancy. Hell, some of them could even be used to charge the woman.

You'd think that Republicans, especially running for election this November, would run on passing new laws that include some of those basic exceptions. Apparently you'd be wrong:

"In Michigan, Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel faces a serious reelection challenge from a Republican who is promising to enforce a 1931 abortion ban that’s still on the books. On Monday night, Nessel posted video of her opponent, Matt DePerno, declaring that he would prosecute women and their doctors for abortion with no exceptions for rape, incest, or medical emergencies."

Source: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/abortion-rights-statehouse-races/

If Republicans in other states are as stupid as DePerno, they are going to blow this election. I know that certain people on this forum believe that literally nothing can stop Democrats from losing in a landslide this November because it's a Biden midterm. But this is exceptional. Running on banning abortion from the moment of conception, even in cases of rape? You'd have a hard time winning in Missouri with positions that extreme, let alone Michigan.

Why would Republicans pass a new law when the constitutionality of the MS Law is currently being decided upon by the Supreme Court?  The whole purpose of states creating new laws back in 2018 and 2019 was to challenge the Constitutionality of Roe v. Wade.  I'll bet you MI Republicans tried to pass a bill, but got spooked by some BS poll.  Every Republican-controlled state was doing it.  How is it that you guys don't remember these important stories?  This was the whole set-up to overturn Roe that Trump promised.  Believe it or not, in 2016, Roe v. Wade was actually a factor that helped push Trump into office in the Ohio Valley, because die-hard lifers came out and the rest of his voters didn't care about the issue.

I don't even care about the issue.  Who the hell is even talking about abortion in MI other than the Governor?  I guess all the STD-infected A-Holes in Detroit are pretty triggered about the whole situation.  It's just one more thing to worry about.  Did you know that there is a growing trend in Detroit Mothers basing STDs like syphilis to their children.  Maybe Ds should F-ing focus on getting the BLM guys and Truvada LGBT whatever to wear condoms.  These groups literally got a drug so they could have sex despite HIV infection, and now their spear-heading the rise in STDs. lol.  These people clearly have more important things to worry about.  The economy is currently imploding with all the defaults and foreclosures starting to clog up the county court.  Detroit is one of the worst locations int he country experiencing deficiency of rent, home mortgage, auto, and credit card deficiency.  Half the state is worried they won't have enough money to spend on consumer goods.  People can't even pay their electricity bills in that state.  I can't believe that people wouldn't be pissed at Whitmer for locking down the state all the way into February of this year after throwing caution to the wind when she executed all those elderly people in nursing home with Cuomo's awesome 'Murder The Elderly Mandate'.  Pretty F-ing pathetic how no Democrat knew that viruses rapidly spread faster among humans while indoors.  It took them until May to figure out what I knew as a 16 year-old EMT.  

By the time November rolls around, I doubt Ds even have the numbers in Detroit on election day to overcome the wave of Trumpers.  Abortion?  I'd be surprised if more people came out or stay home due to all the homicides and other crime associated with D policies.  

If I had to highlight a single part of this deranged rant, it would probably be the part where he rails against the blacks and the gays for spreading STDs to children.

TheReckoning, who apparently "is not a fascist," threw a fit about his giant sig portrait of Hitler being removed.

So portrait of someone who commits genocide against Ukraines (Stalin): Fine

Portrait of someone who commits genocide against ethnic minorities in Cambodia (Pol Pot): Fine

Portrait of someone who commits genocide against Jews (Hitler): Gets taken down in 10 minutes

Tell me again how moderation rules aren’t completely arbitrary.

Didn't even realize he was already here embarrassing himself with a different discussion of WWII until after I started posting. How fitting.

Wait, I thought hormone therapy was "life-saving" for trans kids?  This one still tried to kill himself apparently 

Legitimately one of the dumbest posts I have ever read on this forum. What more needs to be said?

[NYDem]

Literally no one has denounced Nazism more on this website than me.

Guns aren't permitted in that mall so there was no good guy with a gun because he was violating the rules of the premises he was on (no, the second amendment doesn't apply to private property). He saved no lives and the "it could have been worse" argument is weak.

I’m as pro-gun control as any other random red av, but this is just embarrassing. The guy who stopped the mass shooter is obviously the “good guy” in this scenario, and the situation obviously would have been worse without him there.

[NYDem]

This is not one of those things where some kid who doesn't know better uses the n-word.

This is pretty much finger to the world, blatant and in-your-face racism. Written out on a giant poster and proudly photographed. And of course the school is circling the wagons to protect this.

And what should the penalty be for writing things you don't like on a poster?

He should be expelled and forced to get a GED. They will never learn without consequences.

NYE didn't make it to the thread in time, so Beet took up the post in his absence.

[NYDem]

He’s still not as bad as “citizenq”, who actually predicted that Mastriano would win, lmao. Come to think of it, if any prediction deserves to be here, that one probably does.

Here it is:

Waltz, Michels, Dixon, Mastriano

3/4 wrong!
Kind of surprising he didn’t go all in and “predict” the GOP winning in MN as well.

Don't gloat. Pennsylvania now has an invalid as a Senator. Not something to be proud of. Not something to celebrate.

Something to pity.

At least he's posting directly into the thread now.

The United States is absolutely hated by almost all Spanish-speaking people and more or less plays the role of Russia with Ukraine in Latin America. Being an "Anglophile" in the Hispanic world or Africa is basically a condemnation of political marginality.   

The bolded statement is so absurd on its face that one is forced to assume that he is trolling. Millions upon millions of Spanish-speaking people have been pouring into the United States, legally and illegally, for decades. 50% of the 48,000,000 foreign-born Americans are from Latin America, plus however many more illegal immigrants.

Clearly these people are coming to America by the millions because they hate it so deeply. Impeccable logic.

I am Hispanic and have lived in Mexico for years. With this comment you only show that you absolutely do not know the Hispanic culture. Just because they emigrate doesn't mean they like the country, lmao.

As of November 2021, 66% of surveyed Mexicans had a positive opinion of the United States.

Cool anecdote tho 👍👍

[NYDem]

Haiti desperately requesting outside help and potentially receiving it is neither "imperialism" or "neocolonialism", particularly when such intervention comes from their Caribbean neighbors rather than distant foreign powers.

Addressing the comment about "stifling Haitian sovereignty": Haitian sovereignty has already effectively ceased to exist. Haiti is a failed state with a government consisting entirely of empty seats and interim officeholders. It is completely unable to control either the gangs or mobs. The best they can manage is for police to control less than one fifth of the neighborhoods in Port-Au-Prince, and nothing anywhere else. The Haitian government only exists as a legal fiction at present, and does not exercise sovereignty over anything.

Haiti would probably be better off today if the French just took a “no mercy” approach to Haitian Revolution, as much as I hate to say it. But I don’t know if it would be worth it for the destruction said approach would’ve caused.

Requires no explanation.

Apparently the problem with Haitian history is that there wasn’t enough genocide. It’s bad enough when certain lunatics claim that the 1804 Haitian Genocide was justified somehow, but TheReckoning has managed, as usual, to have worse takes than I’ve ever thought possible. At times like these you remember that his first posts on the forum were defending the honor of an SS member and concentration camp guard who was deported to Germany.

Does endorsing the genocide of the black population qualify as a violation of site ToS? I feel like it should be.

[NYDem]

There's a difference between "I don't have any friends with political views different from my own" and "I don't have any friends who self-identify as Nazis and want to kill Jews." Obviously. The hell is wrong with you people?

Despite the bizarre insinuations to the contrary from certain Atlas users, having Nazis for friends isn't normal, and people who don't have such friends aren't abnormal in some way. The problem, as per usual, is that Atlasians have only the vaguest understanding of normal social interactions. They assume that because they have online acquaintances who are at the political extremes, "normies" who care less about politics would be even less likely to care if a friend was a Nazi who wanted to kill Jews. This is a fallacy. Normal people don't have Nazi friends who want to kill Jews.

Self identified Jew-hating Nazis are actually very uncommon and form a vanishingly small proportion of the population. Your average person wouldn't be expected to have the acquaintance of a single one, even without making the effort to form their friendships based on political beliefs. Normal people don't even have to make the decision about whether or not to become friends with a Nazi who hates Jews, because the situation never presents itself. That being said, in the rare cases where it does, the majority of the population rejects such friendships.

Reportedly the 2023-24 school year in Gaza has been cancelled because all of the children are dead.

Just let that sink in. All the children. That's hundreds of thousands of children. That's a level of genocide that would make Putin jealous. And we helped Israel do that.

I'm done with this country.

Can somebody just ban this clown already? I refuse to believe that any human being who is capable of using a computer without injury could be stupid enough to actually believe this.

Apparently literally every child in Gaza (population 2000000) has died in a war that Gazan authorities say has killed ~7000 civilians.

Looks like have a new all time banger.

She should wait for the Ukraine primary.  I am sure she will sweep that one

Joe many neocons does it take to change a log by bolb? None , they’re to busy ?? ?? The Ukraine 😂😂😂😂😂😂
