"I want to erect a Genosha"

So, uh, Genosha was a fictional island in the X-Men comic books. The story behind it was that mutants were welcome on Genosha, which was attractive to many mutants because in most places, everyone despises and fears mutants and they're treated like second class citizens. Lots of mutants decided to move to Genosha because they hoped that they would have better lives there.

This is probably why Sweets uses Genosha to represent Sweetopia.


BUT!

It turned out that Genosha was a honeypot and upon arrival the mutants were fitted with technological macguffin collars that suppressed their mutant powers, and they were enslaved and forced to do hard labor.

So I guess Sweet wants to set up his warped-vision college-life facility, but then actually enslave all of the people who show up?
 
Once again, he has no idea what he's talking about. Print media will die as the generations that are accustomed to it die off. Gen Xers, Millennials and those that come after will all get their news online, and the kids will listen to old farts like myself explain how we used to get our news printed on the remains of dead trees and wonder how we survived. There's already a push to apply standards of journalism to blogs, and governments have slowly extended the protections given to traditional media to the online realm. It's an ongoing transition, but one that can't be stopped. Also I laugh everytime Sweet acts like he was some grizzled reporter with years of experience. @Dr. Merkwurdichliebe how long was he on the Herald staff before he got the ax for plagiarism? A few months? I have more journalism experience than him, and all I did was write a blog.

I agree, I have to chuckle every time Sweet Bro refers to himself as an "old newspaperman" or refers to his "newspaperman days," as though he has some vast and storied career he's looking back on from his twilight years.

But no, it's just 40-year-old Jonathan M. Sweet, relishing the 3-6 months of college he spent cursing at photographers, staring at people's neck scars and writing opinion pieces on his bottled piss.

I think Sweets must be referencing Genosha after the United Nations ceded the island to Magneto and he made it a haven for mutants. This didn't last very long and Genosha has been nothing but a bombed out disaster area, of which it has remained for the last 15 years. Interesting that Sweet referenced something where 2 out of the 3 possibilities opens him to high ridicule. Seriously, Genosha as a mutant paradise lasted about 3 years.

Genosha as a mutant apartheid stand in : 1988 - 1999
Genosha as a mutant paradise : 1999 - 2001
Genosha as bombed out city scape : 2001 - current

Hey Sweets, don't make references when you don't know what you're talking about. Chances are, when it comes to comics, some of us a know a lot more than you, which is one of the reasons why we point and laugh at your lousy attempts at creating your own.

Well, look at the way Sweetums keeps his house - he's certainly not gonna keep things clean and livable. And that sumptuous buffet isn't going to prepare itself!
 
Students gotta KEEP WATCH. Hence his book.
I don't think age makes any difference. My mentor was in his forties when he wrote for the school paper and served as managing editor. I think this current crop of kids need someone with experience to help them put things in perspective and not make the kinds of mistakes I did. Egos can get in the way, both others' and your own. They need to learn to not fall for the "popularity trap", be on guard constantly and recognize when their fellow staffers are plotting against them.

Huh, I wasn't aware of the later events regarding Genosha.

I can easily see Sweet considering himself as a Magneto-esque figure.

I mean, I can't imagine him as Magneto, but I can imagine he imagines himself as Magneto.

Thumbskull worked as a sociopathic doorstop at The Herald during the fall semester of 1996 and until Feb. 5 of the spring semester of 1997, at which point he was suspended and then fired after signing a confession admitting that he plagiarized an SNL skit on the new TV ratings system. His vast experience as a newspaperman consists of less than five months (minus the time he was suspended for cursing at the yearbook's faculty adviser) working as the office buffoon at a tiny, twice-weekly college paper in Bug Tussle, Ark. He did zero investigative reporting. He did not cover cops or any other beat. His "reporting" experience consists of typing up a couple of press releases that ran as briefs. He was never a reporter. He was never a newspaperman. He was an incompetent, mentally ill columnist who was brought in by his kindhearted tard wrangler, who felt sorry for the campus laughing-stock. The tard wrangler soon realized that he had committed an egregious blunder and subsequently threatened to sic five different police agencies on Thumbskull if the psycho ever contacted him again.

I actually had a long response for this, but I decided to just delete it all and boil it down to a simple statement: Most newspapers hire from a pool made up of writers from local colleges. That's why the newspaper business is so nasty and cutthroat.
___________________________________________

Only the smallest newspapers with the worst pay typically hire people straight out of college. Mid-size and metro papers almost exclusively hire employees with real-world experience from other newspapers. Thumbskull knows dick-all about how the newspaper business operates.

His comment that newspapers are "nasty and cutthroat" because they hire recent college graduates is utterly irrational gibberish that makes zero logical sense in this universe or any other.

The speed at which Thumbskull's mental illness is eroding his meager handful of IQ points seems to be increasing at rate that will soon reduce his powers of ratiocination to those of a cucumber.

Just readin that thing about how he's Better than Chris kind of cements him as an idiot. As if he weren't enough of one already, kek.

If you have to say you're better than Chris, you're probably not and just hiding something.

Sweet, like Chris in that one video where he acted out murdering someone, probably expects a victim to hold still as he tries to murder them with a bone knife or axe. Has he forgotten that people can carry guns for self defense, and even if unarmed, they can still fight back? And how would he recognize a "Kiwi operative" anyway? Would he accost random passerby and angrily gibber something about a kiwi farm while wielding an axe or bone knife?

Oh right, he thinks there's nothing wrong with his behavior.

He has Chris's idea of "trolls" as people who sit in rooms full of meme posters, wear meme T-shirts, and Guy Fawkes masks and jump up and down yelling "U MAD BRO" whenever we see someone. How could he fail to recognize one of us?

Yes.

As has been pointed out before in this thread, he's the Dunning-Kruger Effect multiplied by something in the neighborhood of 10 to the 137th power. He's a no-talent, autistic, sociopathic moron who thinks he's the reincarnation of Winslow Homer and Ernest Hemingway.

Actually, Sweet has this weird ass idea that everyone mocking him are "liberals". I don't know how Sweet views the average liberal in his mind, but the moment you start calling this dumbass out, he dubs you as a progressive liberal.

And yeah, I'm stunned that Sweet is so stupid he can't even realize he's stupid. Every time he threatens someone here, he only digging his hole deeper. If he wasn't autistic, he would actually take advice from this forum.
 
Sure, it seemed strange at first to me , but then I remembered what my old mentor at the Herald told me "You need to look outside your narrow little definition of normal"-- which, to me, meant, "Don't ask questions-- just roll with it".

I wonder how he autistically came to that conclusion. A mentally adjusted person would probably take this to mean "try something new" or "don't be prejudice".

But I've always said when there are goodies are on the table, you don't ask questions, you just grab and stuff your pockets full.

I know he's probably not being literal but I can totally imagine that he would use this to justify taking things that don't belong to him.
