  • There is also a kind of reverse virtue signaling to each other about how “edgy” they are when it comes to being steeped in/buying into what they think is insider knowledge…

    For example, the ones that claim they are flat-earthers - I honestly think many of them might not really believe it, but use it as a way to play the kid skipping science class and smoking out behind the school, basically as a way to raise up their middle finger to annoy the people they think are just being schoolmarms: “you’re not going to tell ME what to believe, I did my own research!”

    The reality is, anyone they think of as a schoolmarm (“normie”) just mostly would rather ignore these asshats, and just roll our eyes at their juvenile and backward ways. Sadly, what these idiots do in large groups ends up harming everyone - e.g., not vaccinating, being terrible at reasoning skills, basic numeracy and literacy, while at the same time being able to vote for the Republicans.


  • I don’t think anyone (at least not here and definitely not me) is yas queen’ing Hillary. I have a lot of reasons to fault her for a great many things, but when people were calling for their fainting couches because she spoke frankly about the Confederates, I just had to laugh. I grew up around a metric shit-ton of deplorables.

    I mean, you still see so-called centrists and alleged leftists going hysterical over the term deplorables. Of course the wingnut snowflakes pretended to be so offended, too, just like when Obama made his “bitter clingers” comment. The way the usual suspects queened out over Obama’s statement was even funnier to me, since he was talking about the very state I grew up in and he was absolutely correct about that.
