Sorry you became some sort of sad neocon boomer who's kids frequently shoot up their schools Zig Forums

That woman was probably a neoliberal and the motive wasn't even political anyways.

I'd be very surprised if she wasn't at least marginally leftist. I know vegan doesn't mean leftist though. I used to be vegan myself and I've got Savitri Devi's book about vegetarianism, "The Impeachment of Man" waiting on my shelf.

I'm a 24 year old childless single male. You don't have to make things up to mock my status if that's really what you want to do.

That's probably closer to the truth than her being a full-blown communist or red anarchist, but I just wanted to banter a bit, and I do actually appreciate it and that it's not coming from the right. Some of us absolutely hate Youtube for putting videos dealing with race, fascism, etc. in limited state and I think it was going to come to violence by some dumbass sooner or later (later for us because we're more patient). If the shooter had any right wing ideas though, you know they would tar and feather him far beyond what they're doing to the based brown lady. Maybe because she's south-Aryan rather than north they'll actually want to "have a conversation on what provoked her". The animus the old media has for the new combined with the nu-egalitarian attentiveness to minorities makes me think it's an actual possibility.

He's saying that Zig Forums is filled with neocons, liberals, boomers, redditors, and generally the most empty ideas alive; that has been pumping out spree killers at a regular rate and bans anyone who doesn't kiss the toes of the Trump (pbuh) Administration's decisions.

Zig Forums has rapidly declined in quality from being generally harmless to being filled with malevolent circle shaped obese beings that support the administration who's been more diplomatically helpful to Israel and Saudi Arabia than any past American Administration.

Trump (pbuh) can do no wrong, hail John Bolton, the war in Afghanistan was VOLK

Those ideas are pre-liberal. I support them to the extent that they're not destructive to the national interest but it doesn't make me a liberal. I'm probably going to be renting out my house after I pay it off since I've heard two shootings from the niggers around here in the past week (no one ever shot anyone at my school, huh).

Please keep posting.

I'd grant that there are a lot of liberals on Zig Forums to the extent that libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism are extreme offshoots of liberalism, which I believe to be the case. There are probably crypto-redditors. I doubt there are many boomers or neocons.

Zig Forums is generally not even about ideas. It's more of a hub of rightist low culture and chaotic anonymous shitflinging. It's not a place to go if you want to get in depth about right wing philosophy.

I don't think we should be going into any foreign wars when there's a racial civil war to be fought. Trump's protectionism has been good but his Judaism hasn't. I see posts all the time calling Trump a kike though, so I don't think you have an accurate idea of what 2018 Zig Forums is like.

I keep thinking about this. As much flak as "accelerationists" got for unironic trumposting in 2016, this was the BEST possible scenario.

If Clinton was in office, you can bet ANYTHING that the House and Senate would be near totally GOP'd in 2018. Zig Forums would be in its fucking golden age right now as though election season never ended, plastering their shitposts on every social media site every time anything goes wrong, blaming it mutually on liberals and leftists, telling everyone just how great things would be if only they'd listened and voted for Trump, and calling for an investigation into "voter fraud".

We could easily have ended up in a timeline where America was more austere and neoliberal than ever at least until 2028 under a Republican de facto one party state, where potentially the alt right flourished into a legitimate intra-party organization with effective veto power like the Christian right.

As it is now Zig Forums has faded back into obscurity and has near-totally been absorbed by neoliberal reddit conservatives and boomers as the tattered remains of the "alt right" mire themselves deeper and deeper in mediocrity and embarrassment. Trump is nearly disgraced before his term is even finished and has single handedly kickstarted the recession that everyone saw coming, which may well be somehow WORSE than the great depression in terms of severity. Clinton is still so unlikable that most Americans are realizing that neither of their options in 2016 were even passable and "radical" options were and are their only way out of looming crises and a generation of stagnation. Strikes are becoming common, worker solidarity is better than it has been in decades, the youth are embracing the left way beyond expectations.

Unless the nukes drop, this is the best way things could have gone.

It has to do with the new "jobbing" economy, which YouTube is apart of. Porky doesn't want an expensive bureaucratic layer to extract surplus value like in the past so you these automated deposit boxes like YouTube that allow you to upload your labor at anytime with no human interaction.

Yeah, probably. I need to cut down on the energy drinks.

I do have a hunch that the shooter is more left than right, but I think we're both exhibiting a problem here where left and right are defined as "left of my personal views" or "right of my personal views". I don't think that communism is the only left, but maybe you do. And I'm certainly prone to viewing neocons as not actually right wing but just being out-of-date liberals, which in common parlance places them on the left.

It's an old and boring thing to say that the left-right paradigm is becoming less useful, but it's what's at play here.

Zig Forums is anonymous. What are you even doing?

If you don't do it yourself you still have to pay for it.

Are the cartels the only force on the american continents that could out gun the US?

Is he calling the PT a criminal organization?

My dude the cartels ARE the US, Trump is pitting the CIA and the National Guard against each other and he doesn't even know it

Trump is a fucking irl Ali G character

I'd not joke about this. Killing lots of Mexicans and moving the border south would be incredibly helpful to Trump's campaign promises.

If he wanted to do WASP settler colonialism in Northern Mexico he'd have to make Texas a stronghold, which he hasn't and can't because cheap labor is good for porky. Imperialism as we knew it back in the day is dead.

Who said anything about settler colonialism?

Because bringing even more Mexicans into the country by conquering the north than he would than he would kill in the process isn't going to help

That's nothing to do with settler colonialism
Mexicans would need to flee across the front line to enter the US
Declaring any undocumented spanish speakers as refugees provides a convenient pretext for placing them in camps for repatriation
Shorter border means cheaper border wall

Trump has you believing the hype. In reality, National Guard will only be there for support since they have no jurisdiction to arrest anyone crossing the border.

This ridiculous display of force, at a time when border arrests are at their lowest, is just Trump's paranoia. Not only is he scared of an imaginary flood of brown people coming to America, he also fears that his base will soon figure out that they're never getting a WALL.

yes. that's a standard right-wing talking point.
It's not even that inaccurate since creating and participating in corruption schemes counts as Commanding/Belonging To A Criminal Organization, same as fraudsters, street gangs, etc. And every single political party in Brazil engages in corruption. It's codified in law and reported in the media as such.
The only detail is whether "this set of people within PT (or any other party) constitute(d) a criminal organization" or "everyone on PT is involved in said criminal organization (because they know about it but don't do anything = Passive Corruption or because they were really pulling the strings all along but managed to shield themselves)"
Righttards believe the latter and so does the Judiciary since they're trying Lula for embezzling an apartment that isn't even his.

don't be naive and think that the national guard will all of a sudden develop a sense of humanity. Even if Trump only sends a few troops the ones who are stationed at the border will abuse their power and probably end up shooting even non-immigrants who just so happen to look brown.
