Speechless.

It's actually really awful that a man reduces his (ahem...) beliefs to a bet on an internet forum and then fails to step up when he was proven wrong. In it's own way it's a defeat of all we believe in and perhaps all should be ashamed.

In another way, it's very fucking funny.

many are still in favor of their approach, and seem to be willing to pay the price. If the many in Sweden are like the many in the US, it's more that they're willing to let others pay the price. There is something to be said for not crashing the economy, and letting people make their own choices. F...

I agree with you 1000%....but....unfortunately, this just isn't how this disease works. (See: Sweden) Curious to know how the example of Sweden is understood/interpreted over in the US. Got any rake recommendations? I hear your neighbors rake the forests over there. Complete misconception that the ...

That's fantastic. Thank you for this.

Got to respect a man who holds his hands up and pays his debts.

Respect to you wolf because that's definitely what you're going to do, I'm sure.

Maybe he's hunting and killing here in Colorado. We just voted in favor of re introducing the grey wolf. Which is quite a can of worms as far as an issue goes. And really, we should be caring just as much about earthworms as we do horses. But we don't. I'm a fan of rewilding and species reintroduct...

On the first point, it changes the analysis because a firm ban (with caveats) stops a minority using the flag as a memorial. The consensus in Germany will always be to not use it, thats a given. But a ban makes it that much harder for a minority to be revisionist, which is always a threat the furth...

Stanford Prison Experiment. Although, people have tried to repeat that experiment and not had the same results. With Cole's excellent post... yeah I think we're all perfectly capable of awful things. Veterans tend not to like talking about their war experiences. We tend to assume it's because of th...

FWIW this would actually be illegal. I cant remember the exact law but unless theres an educational or artistic reason, I think you can still go to jail for flying a swastika in Germany. The biggest difference here is that the law probably stems from 1945, when there were still true believers and t...

BUT, there is literally a confederate flag hanging in someone's front yard no more than two miles from my house. This is western Colorado. What should I do? Throw rocks at there house as I drive by? Nah, I don't like being a dumbass. Are they dumbasses for flying that flag? I don't know. Who am I. ...

We now have AOC saying she wants lists of names of people who voted for Trump. i hadn't heard any of this but is this what you're referring to? because if it is, it's not the same thing as you're saying... her point is to preserve people's stances that they made in the past and if that alignment co...

Im not familiar with Mark Harris or exactly where he sits politically, but its definitely the case that far left and far right often end up echoing each other. Particularly on the "we're being conspired against!" narrative. Agree that he's wrong here. It doesnt seem to me that there's a coherent mes...

And all them politicians, they're all lying sacks of shit. I'm guessing Mr Hood put that lyric out of his mind when he endorsed his local mayor candidate the other day! Do you think that was Hood’s opinion when he wrote that lyric? No, he was singing in character. Then again, we probably have all t...

Whoever we are today and whoever and whatever we think we support, it behooves us to remember that all politicians are scum and they do not have our best interests at heart. I don't think it's helpful to believe that all politicans are scum. Some are. Some aren't. Most are probably somewhere inbetw...

Whoever we are today and whoever and whatever we think we support, it behooves us to remember that all politicians are scum and they do not have our best interests at heart. Nixon and Ehrlichman have always been bottom of my personal barrel so there's an argument that others just aren't as bad, but...

Congratulations America.

Imagine it. Imagine being a fucking narcissist who has been born into wealth and used it to cheat and impose your own will all your life. Imagine that the first time someone has said "No. No you do not get your own fucking way." is live in front of millions of people and with the world's media despe...

The more I listen to The New Ok, the more excited I am about a possible "corner turn" in the band's sound. I've felt that Hood's "Heat Lightning" album unduly influenced the DBT records that followed, adding in more piano than I like, and turning out several songs that felt more like solo projects ...

Trump doesnt seem like the sort to fuck off quietly. So, people sick of hearing his name are probably going to be disappointed for a while.

Thoughts and prayers for Trump.

espite a highly polarised, emotive situation, this hasn't turned violent. The turnout has been huge. A lot more people are now engaged with politics and can see the value of the vote. From what I can tell, at this stage most people can see Trump's attempt to stop votes being counted (FFS) for the b...

So it turns out that this nation has about as much soul as a fat, orange, corrupt 73 year old white man trying to dance to a song that he doesn't even know is about gay sex. Hardly worth battling for. So it turns out that despite Joe Biden's claims to the contrary, and whether Biden wins or loses, ...

This is pretty much every nation state on the planet though. America is split in various ways but so are most countries. Regardless of size. America is arguably exceptional in that other large countries have only become one and started achieving prominence (China, Soviet Union...) after a strong do...

There is a view of American history which says that our history has been the evolution of a bunch of states into a unified nation. The Civil War is often pointed to as the key moment in this evolution but, having eliminated slavery, it was really commercial developments after the Civil War that def...

Caveat---I don't know shit about shit, except for maybe shit. I've spent 30 plus years growing food and or learning how to grow food. Agriculture, if you will. Shit is fertilizer, therefore it could be said that shit is the foundation of life. Having said that, one might deduce that hand sanitizer ...
