I actually forgot that this guy exists until now, but it appears he's still making comics and just got an Exploding Kittens cartoon show (based on his casual card game) on Netflix last year.
Wordy motherfucker. If AI art can eliminate all these activist artists because their talents can be mimicked by an LLM without all the bloviating, that would be a net good for society.
 
I’ve never been part of an antifa group, and I’m not currently.” But he added that “there’s an effort underway to paint me as someone who is doing the things that I’ve researched, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.”
If you're gonna be a lying liar who lies, at least have the courtesy to be good at it and sound believable. Otherwise, you're just insulting everyone's intelligence.
 

Among copartisans, Democrats mostly think Democrats want them to have a good job and stability (69%), but not marriage (37%) or children (36%). Republicans think their party wants them to be able to retire and have a good job (75%), and all other statements are above 50%. While Republicans think Democrats want nothing for them, they do seem to believe that their own party shares their view of a good life. This is less the case for Democrats.

The good news for Democrats is that they’re narrowly winning on “feeling stable in your personal life” (38% think Democrats want it for them, 35% think Republicans want it for them). The bad news for that party is literally everything else: marriage, children, creating wealth, and being your own boss are all far more associated with Republicans by double digits.

Even Democrats are not very convinced that their party wants them to have the traditional markers of a good life.

None of the above" scores really high at 43% for Democrats and 36% for Republicans. I can understand what's missing for Democrats since this list of goals don't include progressive goals such as DEI, carbon reduction (or other climate goals), universal health care, etc. On the other hand, the Republican "none of the above" is a bit of a mystery to me. What's missing from this list?
 
Wait? He announced he was fleeing the country BEFORE he left? What a fucking retard.
These people are not that smart. They also fail to realize what being terrorists on the same grade as ISIS means.

If he actually ends the war, he will get it at this rate. It has to end though.
 
How ass blasted and brain broke is Trump ending the war in Gaza going to make the Trump deranged? This has been their key issue the past 2 years. They were getting expelled from college and even deported over it. Their hero Greta got arrested for it. Half their protest and demonstrations all over the world were calling for this. And suddenly Trump just fixed it.....

Are they going to do like they did for every other issue and start protesting for the war to resume?
They are already so mad about it that they are practically outright saying they hope it fails just to spite him. The sub-humans can't even be consistent in the "War bad!" mentality if it means giving orange man his due.

WaPo positively covering Trump? Are we in the dented zone? Is the world... healing?
 
ANTIFA also hadn't yet been emboldened to the extreme level that they are now until about 2018 or so.

It wasn't until the #RESIST bullshit was mainstream that ANTIFA identified themselves in public during riots and protests. Before that they all just wore black with no insignias or identifying markings.
I remember this well during Occupy Wall Street in 2011, which I was quite fascinated with and watched through a lot of on-the-ground livestreamers including Tim Pool. Back then, the black-clad riotous gang commonly alongside any given protest event was known as Black Bloc, and there was very similar obfuscation of their organization by arguing that Black Bloc is a tactic, not a group. They'd cow other protesters who took issue with them by arguing about the importance of "diversity of tactics" and "direct action". But they're ultimately still the same group of revolutionary anarchists and commies (but I repeat myself) now commonly recognized as Antifa today.
 
Don't go to military. You voted for isolationism. Don't help trump go to war.
also, do you think manufacturing is dying because most of it was "assembled in USA, manufactured in China"?
This is quite popular with luxury brands.
 
I'd agree that not everything about Columbus was great (to put it mildly), but it doesn't really matter. Columbus was a symbol of European exploration and the founding of what would become America. The only reason why these kind of people want to destroy figures like Columbus is to help pave the way for a communist dystopia.

It's also funny and worth pointing out the hypocrisy of the left in that so many of their own heroes are also compromised and guilty of all kinds of sins of their own. How many of the people who make history are absolute saints?
This is the first time I've heard Columbus blamed for kicking off the North Atlantic slave trade. I'm to believe that Columbus was bringing back so much gold from America that the African Gold Coast (which should be closer to Spain than The Bahamas is) decided to stop mining and selling gold and instead moved to selling slaves?

I could see an argument where Columbus discovers America and colonies are started, and those colonies want slave labor to work the plantations. But wouldn't that have happened regardless of who discovered America? Slavery was just how things got done back then and Africa has ALWAYS had slavery.

This is like blaming Edison for inventing the lightbulb after I cut myself on a broken lightbulb in modern times.
