The Lief Reservoir of Simple Truths and Smart One-Liners

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

People who post on political message boards are the most irrationally paranoid people I've ever met. Or, perhaps, the most irrationally power hungry.

I don't know which thread this goes in. Probably all of them. What a metaphor! Update got deep. Literally the definition of a "Simple Truth"

I just don't know how to gain those qualities.  You can't just go to Walmart and pick them up on sale.

Austrian economics is for people who think they're too smart, but are actually just sociopaths.

I'm going to pretend AD had a good post for the first time ever.

Whatever you do, don't click for context.

Oh this is cute. Start moderating posts to cover up the real implications

Making that kind of comment is never deemed funny in the Cave. We just don't have much of a sense of humor I guess.

I should know better than responding, and hopefully this new avalanche of mass stupidity will accelerate my phasing out from this rotting carcass of a forum aside from the international elections (and possibly demographics) board, but I guess I'll just put this out there.

Look, you know I've been one of your biggest supporters, but that wasn't the real problematic part. It was very foolish to call out the rest of the forum over a falsely perceived trait using words like "specimens" to describe them and make yourself appear above the fray and completely superior in a competitive sense. The two biggest issues on the matter of recent history are no longer posters here (not that they'd be harassing her online). A lot of people feel the need to call out the forum over issues like sexism, racism, or even nerdiness (creepiness too?) when the fact is that these labels are patently untrue for most. And of course the excuse of demographics is used to back up those labels
Atlas forum regulars are fine people. Can we stop calling out the whole forum in a manner that only makes the name caller look ridiculous?

I am a social conservative but I could never in a thousand years get behind that because, I am a capitalist and economic libertarian more than a devout Social Credit/Huckabee Social Conservative

In other words, you won't let your religion get in the way of your social darwinism?

Really now?  Posting quotes from a Hate Forum that racially profiled Simfan in its sock account witch hunt?

You call it hate, we call it "Trump fansite". And we got the headstart on branding that to the world in our latest investigation.

Being a  conservative in America has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with culture and identity. Donald Trump is a conservative, just not the way intellectuals would discuss it on this forum. Conservatism is a feeling these days, not a set of coherent beliefs.

Quite amazing how Trump was able to take on the Bush family machine and destroy it within the Republican party. Jeb Bush was even bringing out all of the stops towards the end (Bringing in Barbara and George W. Bush for example)

If you don't think he is capable of doing the same thing to Hillary Clinton, you are delusional.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Sometimes, the truths are just accidentally stated by those who mean to the least:

not liking Clinton has absolutely nothing to do with ideology. That should be obvious.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Police need to start mowing down these unemployed losers before they get Trump elected president.

Wow. When was the last time Dick Morris was the most competent person in a room?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Hatred of anyone should not be a requirement for anything.

My money is on Trump +5. I wonder what would be enough to make the Clinton campaign go crazy and invest in TX?

lol, the Clinton campaign does not give a sh*t about public polls. Only amateur hour campaigns do (cough)

One of the regrettable, disgusting aspects of contemporary, "individualistic" Americanism.

It is not obvious for me

Moral cowards like Torie and muon2 are representative of the kind of people from their generation who have risen to leadership roles. I wish that this collective realization had come about earlier. We think of them as decent people while condemning the Sam Spades and jaichinds, but they're not any better and never have been. I fear that this will only become more abundantly obvious over the next several years.

The love for muon2 is confounding.  Here's one of the only members of the community who has actual power and influence - and everyone sucks up to him even though he's a coward and a bigot.  His entire philosophy appears to boil down to "I've got mine, so screw you."  This is not someone worth emulating.  He is an appeaser, and he offers nothing but complicity in the face of prejudice.  His legacy is Donald Trump.

Oh, but Ebowed, don't you know? Muon's status as an elected official from a far-right White Nationalist party is totally forgivable as long as he's somewhat cordial when he interacts with Internet strangers.

I don't give a damn a Muon or anyone else on that Mod team, but YOU are certainly one to talk. Your political ideology is utter garbage, arguably even worse than the brownshirts in the GOP.

YES! MY KING IS ALIVE!

Call me a fool for this stand, but I would die for that man. My king is alive!

It has nothing to do with this stand (?) of yours, but you are a fool.  I hope you're happy.

The destroyer of an old, corrupt, archaic America predicated on false ideals and the founder of a new America, unburdened with outdated notions of liberty and equality and justice, that boldly bestrode the 21st century like the Colossus.
