It's called black comedy. Things can be bad and funny and that's ok. It's called "being human", we're rife with contradiction. Get used to it.

Watching a creationist try to prove the Earth is 6000 years old with science while then going on to claim science doesn't work, often while recording themselves, is hilarious, and it's also the reason humans will likely go extinct. Watching a toxic manbaby claim liking women is gay is funny as fuck.

And if you're going to suggest that CAN'T be funny because you don't think so, you're just insisting that you have an objective view of subjectivity, which means you understand neither and can be entirely disregarded.

Incorrect. I understand it just fine. This is no different than Trump getting booed for trying to take credit for the vaccine. It's both hilarious and infuriating. The comedy comes from the self-own of creating that situation despite the situation being objectively terrible. This is no different.

It's why most of the dems want to "reach across the aisle" to hatemongers. Those hatemongers make their life so fucking simple. Do basically nothing and get praised because you're not as bad as the people you're working with.

announcing what a POS he is. You're now fucking golden. You can do basically anything short of that and go relatively unnoticed. That's what a lot of politics has been for decades and it's culminated in this. The loudest POS in office with the most cowards riding his coattails to the bank.

Because most of those politicians benefit *personally* by doing nothing. Imagine you're a run-of-the-mill POS, get into a position of power, and use it to mostly enrich yourself while putting on a face. You know what the greatest thing to happen to you would be? A massive POS taking front-and-center

Ah yes, keep the billionaires on the healthcare board, which use private insurance to drive up costs by giving us worse healthcare outcomes, AKA literal death panels.
Clap for your owners deciding the pricetag to stay alive. Cheer for it. You fucking rubes.

For those keeping score, that makes Universal Healthcare a Win-Win-Win versus privatized healthcare, which is Lose-Slightly less Lose. Which one of those outcomes is better for the NOT billionaires, Mark?

Don't you think the bigger problem there is the fact that health insurance only exists to drive up costs and drive down results? If that incentive was eliminated, all the problems here go away too, and everyone saves money, and we all get healthcare.

She raised a lot of money from Silicon Valley angel investors, so almost certainly some of them want this pushed through so they can make more money.

If you don't want to destroy private corporations (Who are willing to destroy you for their bottom line) then you're a capitalist with frills, and being a capitalist means you don't want to actually fix things, you just want to slap band-aids on them which will be removed at the next opportunity.

Mildly undermining his own point by saying they didn't break any laws. They broke tons. Trump started an insurrection and should be in prison. This is more an example of how the law fails in the face of fascism.

If their ideas were still working they wouldn't be desperately grasping at more and more extremes to keep people engaged. They would just stick with what worked.

When they've gone from "This is how to pick up chicks" to "Chicks are gay", yeah, kinda. And pointing that out to their followers can be effective for breaking the emotional wedge that's being used.

And the best deprogrammers will tell you that there's no ONE way to reach everyone. It requires a special touch for everyone. What works for some may not work for others, because that's how people are. Saying that mocking doesn't work is ignoring every fucking time it does.

Epicurious came up with the Problem of evil over 2000 years ago, which has YET to receive a reasonable answer, and yet more atheists exist today because of George Carlin, who wasn't exactly known for his deep philosophical arguments.

I didn't say they didn't understand straightness. You're putting words in my mouth. That's just a strawman.

But they are. This particular brand of douchebaggerry and Tate himself started as a pick-up artist. Their whole goal was to "get women." But in doing so they've twisted themselves to the point where achieving their goal is "gay", the antithesis of their whole movement. Pointing out how twisted up
