Guess the old hat didn't pan out, so trying a new one.
The most fragile snowflakes.




If anyone comes across Sean Feucht of their own accord and don't know what to do with the newfound hate they feel, just come see me as I been hating that doe-eyed aryan gremlin for eons already so am very receptive to such specific venting.




There's unfortunately a lot of accompanying images that won't fit in this post, so any curious cats are gonna have to go clicking if further context is desired.
Fashness aside, something about "megachurch chain" just strikes me as so quintessentially American. Whiffs of religion commidified and commercialized into spiritual fastfood.

Well. That is certainly, a take.
It's not that revolutionary. Most people are not anarchists, they want to constrain liberty. Most people don't believe an eye for an eye is a good system. Most people don't think liberty or justice are absolutely goods.

This has absolutely nothing to do with seeing those things as virtues.

I would never say "equity and equality are important to me". They aren't. They just aren't. People can be perfectly equal in hate and pain and misery, equality is not a virtue. Equality is, arguably, a pre-requisite for self-governance, and that may make it worth pursuing, but it isn't worth pursuing at the expense of peace, prosperity, or other things that are actually innately virtuous. The same is true of liberty and justice, these are not virtues, they can go horribly wrong, and should only be treated as means to actually worthy ends.
Now I am curious: what do you consider innately virtuous? What do you consider worthy ends? You say that liberty and justice are only to be treated as means to worthy ends; can't a strict adherence to any supposed virtue be twisted into something unwanted?

On the top of my head: you mention peace and prosperity as innately virtuous; wouldn't Zelenskyy just surrendering to Putin ensure that a whole lot of Ukrainian infrastructure and lives not be destroyed; it would also mean that peace would be achieved.

When I lived in North Carolina, I sometimes found myself driving past a church so large and garish that it looked like a theme park. My roommate affectionately nicknamed it "Six Flags Over Jesus".

Based.

In all seriousness, the right hates scientists with their book burnings and bannings, but elements of the left are guilty of this as well. If we had the degrowth left's way we would be degrowthing the country's economy for climate change which would at a bare minimum depraved the US and World economies of the economic fuel needed to sustain investments in solar, wind, and other renewables. But sure socialists let's economically regress people to living like 1960s Switzerland. Jackasses.

I would somewhat agree with Tstorm

Absolutely liberty is an incredibly scary thing. I.e. It would be the Purge. You are at liberty to murder, steal and rape. We had liberty to own people. I think it's great we don't have that liberty

The only reason I step back from calling liberty a virtue is because I think that liberty in the wrong hands can be just as bad as authoritarism. I certainly am pro-liberty... as long as it doesn't negatively effect others

There an Alaska state representative who had question about the cost to society from child abuse

A estimates hear thought the total cost from an individual child abuse is about $1.5M. As far as I understand, that's to the individual and wider society

Then Eastman stands up and says that a child dying from child abuse would be economically beneficial to society as the government doesn't have to pay for them to live


Which begs the question, how much money actually goes to each individual child by the Alaskan government? Because, if it's not close to $1.5M, I can't imagine why you'd bring this up

Just note: This is the same PRO-LIFE guy who was trying to ban abortions in medical emergencies. I think he said something like, 'some women just get pregnant to have abortions'

Edit: Try to find a video of this. The moderator flabbergastly states, 'Would you say that again?' With a tone of 'I can not believe someone is saying this'. It's delightful

As a trumper and life-long gamergater...

Cowards killing themselves cuz they didn't get what they wanted over something petty. WTF, they trying to prove? That Trump, there's so-called Savior and God will reard them in heaven? Satan is laughing at them and he will pull them before they even get halfway to reaching the gate.
1. Killing yourself because you don't like Potato Joe seems a little extreme.

Wait until they find out the band Ghost exists.

2. Ghost and Marilyn Manson aren't the problem, they are the solution. I have the spurious unresearched feeling that TPTB purged rock music from the mainstream because it goes hand-in-hand in masculinity, therefore it must be purged to better destroy masculinity. If Ghost and Marilyn Manson want mainstream attention, they should beef with Sham Smith.

"OUR JOURNEY TO VICTORY HAS BEGUN! DEATH TO THE MPLA POPTIMISTS!"

Also I can't wait for AdoseOfBuckley to examine the corpse of Unholy on Sunday.

3.Why the fuck are Trump and DeSantis fighting? I thought they were allies?

She was also sucking off Trump's ego in her 2019 book apparently, so it's not like she's gonna win any friends outside the MAGAsphere assuming she pulls off a miracle and wins the nomination.
4. She is not getting any friends from the magasphere either.
Also Sarah Palin came to prominence because TITTIES.

Race-bending should be illegal

Moving on...

Fuck you, we need to bring the rule of law back to our schools. I would recommend putting cops in there, but Uvalde ruined that for me.

Maybe I shouldn't, but I gotta sass this
Perfecting that Adolf Hitler cosplay

As a certain president once said: "they aren't sending their best"
Ironically most feminists such as Anita Sarkeesian et al. hate Duke Nukem for being a "toxically masculine misogynazi"

When I lived in North Carolina, I sometimes found myself driving past a church so large and garish that it looked like a theme park. My roommate affectionately nicknamed it "Six Flags Over Jesus".
More like six flags over jesus's grave. The Babylon Bee would have a field day with them.

Oh and 15 minute cities will never be a thing. They are pie in the sky fantasies at best, or urban stalags at worst.

Is he seriously complaining about someone explaining the basic idea of not using too much? Really? Maybe if they’d called it ‘hand towel austerity measures’ he’d just sage-nod and call it sensible. You know, not what you say but how you say it.
