At least freepcrusher told the truth about South Park.

They were Calvinistic just like the Puritans.  The only difference between the two, religions, which they believed in salvation and strictly going by the bible, not by the minister, is that the Quakers didn't see the inequal treatment of Blacks or Indians as being a way of life.  People like Abe Lincoln

On the other hand Puritans like George Washington blended in with the culture and believed in inequalithy of the races and believed strongly in slavery.

Both sects fled Europe on account of Church of England.

Wow.

It was still stupid and unfunny.

Why the hell does marriage still exist? It's the bloody 21st century!

Several American posters (Simfan the chief among them) try to pepper their posts with British slang and/or spelling conventions and it's really cringeworthy.

At least heatmaster is learning how to write sentences less than 100 words long.

Enough food is produced for everyone in the world to eat 4,000 calories every day, with similar ratios existing for other needs and wants. Fossil fuels need to be phased out of course.

Comrade TNF shows us that we can, indeed, fight the SJW menace without sounding like neckbeards.

My top 5 Party Choices:
1. Likud (I voted this way in the poll and my sig should make it obvs)
2. The Jewish Home
3. Kulanu
4. Yisrael Beiteinu
5. Shas

In other words, kill all Palestinians, amirite

You support Communism, you shouldn't talk about killing. Your movement has more blood on it's hands then any other ideology.

Yeah, but the difference is that the people killed by say, the Bolsheviks, weren't people who were systematically denied the right to have electricity in their homes, meaningful work, or adequate food. The Bolsheviks and co. actually killed people who did things that were pretty abhorrent and that would never have been held accountable for them otherwise. Were they always right? Definitely not. But they never set out to systematically eradicate an entire group of people because Russia was "god's gift" to them or whatever bullsh**t you Zionist-fascists go on about.

Killing is not in and of itself immoral. Everything is contextual. Wiping out the white armies that would overturn Russian democracy and enslave the people =/= wiping out Palestinians because they had the gall to live somewhere that a group of chauvinist imperialist-lackeys decided was their land.

Absurd defence of a group that eradicated so many groups based on pseudo-religious ideological hatred and obviously hyperbolic regarding the Zionists.

For this, directly in the deluge.

I'm probably more left wing than TNF.  He's just more aggressive and vengeful about it.  Punish the elites.

Why punish them? We the people have given them and allowed them, with our explicit permission, to keep that power and money and to use it to seek more.

When we realize collectively that this doesn't work and it is inherently wrong and must be changed...there need be no punishment.  The enablers have been punished enough and the newly demoneyed and powerless former elites deserve mercy.

The long view of history has been nothing but offenses and retaliations.  We have to break that cycle or we'll just continue on forgetting past lessons learned and tempt ourselves into relearning them.

she doesn't realize it's "because of whitey" that she has electricity, air conditioning, computers and a car.

i'm sorry but the responses to my post boxed me in to putting this frankly:

western people as of today have been the most accepting and generous ethnic group of people in the history of humanity. how do you think east asians think of black people? how about indians or arabs? how many asylum seekers do you think japan will accept?

don't get me wrong we have had our share of terrible things done throughout history. but the enlightenment mentality in european civilization is responsible for literally every social advancement that makes the modern age. the muslims are probably the only civilization that had a shot of filling this role in the middle ages, but that window closed.

basically every "good/free" country in the world is that way because they adopted the "western" way of doing things.

yeah, sh**tty things happened, as they always do. do you think things would be better if the black people conquered europe and did the same thing? they would probably be worse frankly. the fact of the matter is the technologically superior civilization always absorbed or outright annihilated the lesser civilization. that's how history worked. american black people are literally the most well off subsection of their ethnicity on earth. don't get me wrong they had to fight against the ignorance of the white majority back then to make it happen, but it did. how do you think the black civil disobedience of a former slave population would've gone down in china? how about india? they would make the kkk look like saints, don't lie to yourself and pretend otherwise. 

there is plenty of work to be done in the name of ethnic equality, but this mentality pisses me off. she has the gall to whine about how "white people" are the problem when in reality they are the reason she has anything she does today. odds are she would just be some random subsistence farm girl, probably raped multiple times by randoms had it not been for these white people she hates so much.

there, i said it.

Why did you make Cory's posts all in lowercase?

i didn't, it's a browser extension

Mods, please ban.

It's a tend that's only likely to continue, something pretty strongly evidenced by election results elsewhere in the advanced democracies. Without anything resembling a real political left existing in the US today, political trends are going to necessarily imitate the extreme identitarianism that has substituted itself for meaningful politics since at least 1947. When Taft-Hartley was enacted, the unions and civil society purged of the left, and left-wing organizations banned or proscribed, political struggle moved from the realm of multiracial, multiethnic, multinational class politics to hyper-individualized identity politics. The fact that this remains unchallenged even on the left is why you're going to see America increasingly resemble South Africa in terms of political coalitions and outcomes.

The Democratic Party may emerge as the majority party over the course of the next generation, but it won't do so as a 'progressive' party in the traditional sense. Much like the ANC, the Democrats will become (even moreso than they already are) a party with a progressive veneer enacting more and more pro-capitalist policies. The trend has existed within the Democratic Party since the 1960s (Kennedy was the first more or less post-New Deal president), and has gained steam as the traditional class coalition that underpinned the old Democratic Party collapsed and was replaced by a frankenstein coalition of ultra-rich financiers and tech magnates and the utterly destitute. As the Republicans play up their own identity politics (white, male, Christian, rural, and suburban identity politics), the Democrats will respond with their own and the coalitions will be increasingly racially, rather than socioeconomically, based.

I'd say we can expect the Republicans to start winning an overwhelming majority of the white vote at some point in the future. Granted, they already win a majority of it, but I'm talking about 2/3rds of it, which may very well doom the Democratic Party to another four decades in opposition, as was the case between the 1970s and now. Barring the re-emergence of a left committed to class politics, we will continue to slide down the identitarian rabbit hole, where politics is less about who should be commanding and controlling the economy (capitalists or the rest of us) and more about things like whether or not video games are anti-feminist, or whether or not the Democrats are planning 'white genocide' or whatever the lunatic far-right identitarians are going off on these days.

I fully understand how that post would be disagreeable from a liberal perspective, but are you going to bother giving it a response or are you afraid to take him on?

Bastards seceded from Pennsylvania so they could keep slavery.

Made no sense whatsoever.

It's literally true though. The three counties of Delaware were previously part of Pennsylvania.

Freedom Fighters. That they abused human rights is undeniable, of course, but so is the fact that the regime they were fighting was much worse. There would not be many (certainly not a majority of people) people arguing that mass rapes that took place when the Red Army drove back Nazi Germany makes the force and their struggle as a whole HPs, since the alternative was so much clearly even worse; this is a comparable, if smaller-scale, example.

Hamas has had no greater international ally than the Israeli right-wingers that Sunrise so fervently supports.

And not just in the "Israel validating Hamas's rhetoric" sense--Israel aided Hamas in the 80s as an alternative to the Palestinian leftists.

Dude, Minnesota's suburbs are not trending right.

We have like two GOP members who is in the suburbs. There used to be a lot more.

Twin Cities suburbanites are among the richest and best-educated in the country, you think they are attracted to the knuckle-dragging hillbillies from the south?

The "new" GOP has utterly repulsed Minnesotans.

Ugh. Obvious troll is obvious.

Troll?  No.  This is a very very common view among the cake eaters of the suburban twin cities.  And Minnesotans at large.  Anti-south sentiment is probably higher in MN than anywhere else.

And we think anywhere south of Des Moines or NYC is the south.  

"Minnesota Nice"

Minnesota is incredibly passive-aggressive.
