(eg slurs written on the body)
What if, written on the body, was a drawing of that same body hanging from a tree in the style of an old lynching?

This is absolutely true, and the craziest part is that half of them don't even know they're supporting bad stuff (they think they are good people, but they are hopelessly ignorant and passively racist with no desire to change) while almost none of them seem to realize that they are the ones making themselves miserable all the damn time. (speaking from my personal experiences/acquaintances)
Hate and negativity in every little nook and cranny of life. The kind of thing that makes people into dangerous and aggressive drivers when they are in no hurry to get anywhere.
some didn’t agree with Kirk but didn’t believe he should die for his views.
I just need to call this part out because it keeps getting repeated. I don't think hardly anybody thinks he deserved to die for his views. His actions, on the other hand, really get people's attention.
Oh yeah, "criminal" is conservative dehumanization 101 and has been for a long time. That and the whole race/class thing. Combine the two and the horrors you will overlook are endless!
I think they are asking you to use past tense even discussing attributes of the awful former human charlie kirk.
I see it as a light hearted joke, but with an undertone of "but seriously fuck that guy -- sorry, former guy"
This might be my new favorite bible quote.
I've never had one before. I've been aware of a bunch. Maybe I would have chosen Austin 3:16 for a while as a smart ass teenager in the 90s. But now I have one and it's this.
Maybe it was intentional and maybe it was luck, but to me this brief passage reaches deep into kinds of things that make for happy vs miserable people.
I can't help but notice how Jesus pretty clearly points out that there is no hierarchy when it comes to caring for one another.
Everything you said is true, but the maga label narrows the context unnecessarily. It's been the Republican MO for decades, and the Democrats have generally presented as less forceful christians. But it's because it works on the people they target with it.
Yeah you're that old. I'm that old too. Rodney King is a forever unforgettable name, and I'm just some white guy in what's basically the midwest.
But for the name to have such an impact on somebody, they need to have lived through that cultural moment.
This is pretty early 90s we're talking about here. Without a doubt there are GRANDPARENTS alive in this country right now who are mainstream media consuming normies and they do not remember Rodney King.
The people who make it a regular habit to attack others because of who they are, yet also somehow have a persecution complex, find it pretty easy to assume that when one of their own gets attacked it's because of who they are too. It's like a damned street gang that's looking for a fight. "One of themmmm killed one of ussss, time to counter attack! To waaar!"
"... oh shit THAT bullet was from our side TOO? I think nobody noticed. Can we get this party started or what!?"
It's as gross as it is predictable. Their reactions to these shootings always follow the same rule: a member of the master race killing one of the subhumans is just an unfortunate fact of life, but one of the subhumans killing a member of the master race merits national if not global headlines that will at minimum be memorable trivia for people who lived through that year.
And I say this as an old white dude.
Not necessarily, IMO. You tilt your head back to look up, but you don't tilt your head left to look right.
I think it's an issue of mapping potentially 6 axes of movement to a 2D plane. They don't all line up the same way. Left and right in the game line up with left and right on the mousepad, but up and down in the game map to forward and back with the mouse.
Thinking of the mouse being glued to the top of your head works better for me.
I agree and oh man did I love that config.
But over the years there would be those asshole games that were still worth playing, or once I had a kid it would be some janky game he was having fun with.
So I actually managed to convert to WASD then years later to non-inverted.
It's certainly not better, but it sure is convenient.
oh, you mean like lynch lynch?
that reference might be pretty stale, idk
