  • … on the one hand i was making a memetic reference to a batman comic that made the rounds on the internet a little while back,

    on the other hand, in order to troll properly it has to be something that actually gets under the skin of the intended audience and gets them REAL good and outraged, and abusing their religiosity is a deliciously tantalizing vector for ruining the day of a theocratic fuckwit. Just the filthiest bastardized blasphemy possible. They might even escalate to physical violence, as many religious zealots are wont, at which point putting them down with lethal force becomes entirely justified, since at that point they’re already murderously feral.

    so it has merit. But I can’t even imagine how i’d stomach wading into such an environment even just to document the fallout.








  • I was gonna pick 7 but holy shit I can sit next to SATAN? HELL YEAH #3 ALL THE WAY Maybe I can talk him into taking this whole plane straight to hell. I’ll end up going with it but my eternal suffering is worth sparing the earth the misery of these absolute scum. I might feel bad about Hulk Hogan though. Yeah he’s deranged and chose the wrong side, but I feel more like he’s lost and confused rather than as overtly malignant as the rest of these dipshits.

    edit: ok yeah if the hulkster burns too that’s actually good for the world.


  • you are not incorrect in your assertions, being that in a better world it wouldn’t matter. But we live in a stage of history where ignorance and disenfranchisement are tools of manipulation to keep a population docile, its citizens isolated from one another and helpless.

    Everyone needs to learn that politics is not actually optional: it will affect your life no matter where you go as long as there are other people - because even if oneself is not political, those other people ARE. Your boss, your landlord, your banker, your pharmacist, your doctor, your neighbors, your friends and family. Politics Knows Where You Live.

    People have power, but all too often they have been duped into not realizing it and lulled into an ineffectual stupor. That cannot be permitted to go on. And if a pop starlet can wake people up and make them pay attention to what’s being done to them instead of idly wasting their while on passive compliance to systems that are slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) killing them, then, well, fuck it I’ll take any advantage I can get.

    Removing the other by choking it to death via atrophy of no longer being able to win is how you get the remaining party to split along conservative/progressive lines. The resulting progressive faction will be more willing to do ranked choice. If we allow the Republican party to continue to exist - or worse, win - it will remove democracy as a whole and then you’ll get the opposite of ranked choice.

    It’s not about supporting the lesser of two evils. Period.

    It’s about punishing the greatest evil through every means available until it FUCKING DIES.
