Non-centrists sometimes seem like lunatics.  They either think Communists are taking over the country or they think Nazi's are taking over the country.  And I'm like, "Do you none of you realize that nobody is taking over the country except all of you idiots?"

    I don't really understand the complaints about "cancel culture". 
    If it's about people shutting down things they don't like then
    that behavior exists everywhere, and I'm not sure why some groups
    think they're justified in using it as an attack against another
    group.  There's literally no society or section of society where
    some behavior or other won't get you "canceled".  Don't believe
    me?  Go to a Three Percenters meeting and tell them the NFA is
    compatible with the constitution, and then observe as you are
    canceled by the cancel culture.

    I get the idea of not triggering someone's PTSD.....which is what
    "trigger warning" was originally about.  A "safe space" was
    supposed to be a place where you won't be harassed for being black
    or gay (etc).  I first heard both terms in media that was
    ridiculing the weakness of people who needed such things.  Whether
    it's really a weakness to not want to set off a person with mental
    problems or to want to be safe isn't as important as the fact that
    the terms no longer mean anything except to insult a perceived
    weakness in someone else.

    A militia meeting is a "safe space" for Three Percenters and
    Boogaloos to fully express their views about the elitist pedophile
    cabal discretely implementing communism in the USA.  What a bunch
    of weak-ass babies for feeling safe in their safe space while not
    feeling safe to express those ideas in the general public who
    would absolutely "cancel" them for being a bunch of weirdos.  I'm
    a believer in the importance of the second amendment and I'm a gun
    owner (and it's one of those evil semi automatic rifles with a box
    magazine and a black composite stock), and I would be all about
    joining a militia whose purpose was to defend the country and
    respond to natural disasters with no weird, political conspiracy
    BS baked in.  Too bad there isn't one.

    If anyone on the left feels left out of my rant, this next section
    is for you:

    I've met exactly one person who described themselves as "woke",
    and she was the most racist, manipulative lunatic I ever met in my
    life.  Here: https://youtu.be/-G5eEJTtKUw That video freakin nails
    it.  "Oh we have to help these poor, stupid persons of color
    because they're too poor and stupid to help themselves.  I'm so
    woke AF because I've realized that black people are poor and
    stupid."  What the woke need to admit is that they've reinvented
    the "White Man's Burden".  Admit it, grow up, and move on.

    I've also got a half dozen or so Facebook friends who won't shut
    up about socialism.  I'd bet not a single one of them is a real
    socialist.  I bet not a single one of them actually knows what the
    F they're talking about. Just like these dumb kids:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMxTEZ7JizI&feature=youtu.be who
    think socialism means "helping people" or "closing the wealth
    gap".  What a bunch of goons.  Otto Von Bismarck was 100%
    correct.  You need robust social welfare programs because once the
    government is "helping people" you've now shut up 95% of the self
    described socialists who really just wanted to know that if they
    get too old or too sick to work that they'll be ok.  The 5% of
    remaining true believers then become an irrelevant fringe element
    which can now be ignored.

    And yeah by the way: The "silent majority" doesn't secretly agree
    with anybody in particular.  They actually find both ends of the
    political spectrum repulsive and frightening.  They're silent for
    the same reason you silently walk past a wild eyed street preacher
    who smells like whiskey and urine.

    If anyone doesn't feel sufficiently canceled then I'd be happy to
    rant about whatever political affiliation you prefer.  I don't
    want to discriminate. Fight me Steve.

    And is “cancelled” the latest version of “dead to me” or “talk to

    I hope the university that compiles an annual list of banished
    words includes “trigger warning”, “safe space”, “cancel culture”,
    and a bunch more that I never actually hear normal people say.
    Let’s just get rid of all those terms that end in “culture” or
    “lifestyle”.  And maybe we could retire “Karen” and “my
    freedoms”.  And there are some pandemic related terms I’d like to
    never hear again. Like social distancing and face covering. 
    Isn’t social distancing like jumbo shrimp?  Can’t we just call
    them physical distancing and masks?  Oh, and novel coronavirus. 
    Just call it the coronavirus, unless you’re writing a novel about
    it.  And maybe we could stop saying “science” when we mean
    “facts”, it might avoid “triggering” people who find “science”
    elitist and feel you’re talking down to them.

        I think that may be factually incorrect.  He promised to
        choose a woman.  Some have pushed him to choose a “woman of
        color”, but if he announced his running mate will be black, I
        missed that.  Two frequently mentioned candidates are indeed
        Kamala Harris and Susan Rice.  Amy Klobuchar took her name
        off the list.   Also supposedly on the short list is Tammy
        Duckworth who is Asian-American (mother was Thai Chinese), as
        well as some other black and Hispanic candidates.  I won’t
        mention Elizabeth Warren or you guys will make Pocahontas jokes.

        Supposedly we’ll all find out in about a week.

        Maybe he borrowed Mitt Romney’s binders full of women.

        If he had said Clair Huxtable, Foxy Brown or Crazy Eyes from

        I thought it was funny because Biden has not announced a
        running mate but he had announced he was picking a black woman.

        So the whole nation is waiting on him to reveal the name.

        So picking a fictional black woman was funny to me because
        they portray him as an older dude that is losing it a bit.

                The last one ended up with everything except for what
                was rightfully mine.

                There are some minority shareholders suing them for

                So she may end up with less than she has right now.

                But she got a super sweet deal – all for making the
                decision to marry someone about 40 years older than
                she was.

                        Rumors I read were that she did not "sign up"
                        for the White House gig, and she
                        re-negotiated the pre-nup before she moved
                        from NYC to DC. There is also some guarantees
                        she negotiated for the Baron.

                        IMO, she originally signed up for a sugar
                        daddy, and things have (obviously) gotten
                        more complicated.
