    “Surely the leopard won’t eat our faces,” thought the women. “We’re white and Christian after all.” But what they never knew was that their Messiah didn’t care.

      That is the problem. For the first time in human history these stupid people have a medium where their caterwauling can drown out sane reasoning.

      It’s easier to gun down people when you don’t have the mental facilities to think twice about it. There’s a reason morons and idiots always end up infesting authoritarian regimes.

    Democracy is increasingly unpopular because the people who broke it say it can’t possibly work

    And unfortunately a lot of weirdo losers believed those freaks

        Their problem with daesh isn’t their politics or methods, just that they aren’t Christian.

            Oh that’s so not true. Vast majority of Arabs, especially in Syria, Iraq, Iran, and that region in general identify themselves as Caucasians/white

              Anyone who’s been to the region can attest to this. While I was in iraq and kuwait most people I saw would be considered “white”. The only exceptions are people who work outside under the sun because tans exist.

              Here is a picture of Shayma Qasim an iraqi beauty queen. I’m dutch/irish/italian and I’m darker than her and considered white.

      Seems likely it’s similar. Aquote from a book I think everyone should read has been stuck in my head for years:

      In the years of its rise the movement little by little brought the community’s attitude toward the teacher around from respect and envy to resentment, from trust and fear to suspicion. The development seems to have been inherent; it needed no planning and had none. As the Nazi emphasis on nonintellectual virtues (patriotism, loyalty, duty, purity, labor, simplicity, “blood,” “folk-ishness”) seeped through Germany, elevating the self-esteem of the “little man,” the academic profession was pushed from the very center to the very periphery of society. Germany was preparing to cut its own head off.

      By 1933 at least five of my ten friends (and I think six or seven) looked upon “intellectuals” as unreliable and, among these unreliables, upon the academics as the most insidiously situated.

      Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45

        I wouldn’t put my dick in anything that could potentially conceive ever again. I don’t want kids. My genes suck, I’m poor, the world is going to shit and there’s no 100% guaranteed birth control method. Why would I even take that risk at that point?

    I think a lot of this is just provocation. “I’m gonna put this on a T-shirt to own the libs.” I doubt they are even thinking about what it means.

      *“I doubt they think about what it means”

      Bruh, these two don’t think much at all ever. They just want to be told what to do
