Yea, that is the thing that pisses me off. For all these years, when tearing down Confederate monuments they have repeatedly said "stuff like that only belongs in a museum" and now apparently even a museum is out of the question.
Also, why Abraham Lincoln? For the crime of being a Republican? This is one I don't understand. Don't they like to tout how Lincoln, who was a "Democrat" because muh party switch, freed the (southern) slaves?
Yea, one of my favorite Clown World moments was that screenshot someone posted of the news showing people the new lockdown guidelines after the whole george floyd thing. It said "social gatherings", as in friends and family hanging out, were limited to like 8 people and one of the new guidelines was that protests could have like 100 people.
Did the "Karen" meme exist before all this? I can't really remember if it existed already, but is it something started because it is his wife's name? It's sad that our country has fallen so far that it is entirely believable the "Karen" meme was started because of political division and hate.
Hey, did you know "jogger" and "jogging" are now considered "dogwhistles"? I still occasionally browse reddit and saw that a day or 2 ago. Apparently it is the new n word. So now I guess that is another word we aren't allowed to use.
I will never understand those people. They truly and unironically believe that the ok symbol, a cartoon frog, talking about joggers, just standing there smiling and many other things are "racist hate symbols" and anyone who disagrees, or uses those words/symbols for the intended purpose is a hateful bigot.

Yet another reason I will never wear a mask. Thankfully, I live in a red state that isn't going completely off the rails infringing on people's rights. Though they are seriously skirting the line and will probably have some lawsuits in the future, definitely not as bad as other states I have read about.
I heard about the "fitting the description" thing, and recently read there was a video of him doing stuff. Anyone have a link to that? I can't seem to find it myself, but the way everyone is talking about "hunting black people" and other such nonsense I was pretty sure from the start there was something they weren't telling us.
Yea, that is something that really pisses me off about all this. They are claiming it is so horrible, and "millions will die" and all that, and even their FAKE numbers aren't looking as bad as they keep screaming about. Even when they add up basically any other deaths they can get away with to the virus death count, it STILL doesn't add up to anything serious enough to cause all this mass hysteria with the lockdowns and shit.
And when you learn they are basically adding everything they possibly can to pad the numbers, and still not getting the fatality % they want, you realize the ACTUAL numbers are probably less than 0.5% deaths and they just want to trample on people's rights and gain that little bit more control.
It always amazes me that people STILL don't understand once you give up rights, even under the guise of it being "temporary", you will NEVER get those rights back. They just keep chipping away little by little, and people always think "well that doesn't seem so bad, and it is only temporary" until it is too late to turn back. You give up your right to do X thing "temporarily" and instead of getting it back later, another "temporary" thing comes up.
I used to watch Roseanne all the time when I was younger. Now I don't really watch cable much at all, and I haven't seen it available anywhere else. It's fucking bullshit what they did to her though.
I'm not sure how good the new show was, but then the cancel culture bullshit kicked in. I thought it was hilarious what happened to the shitty left wing spin off though.
Great ratings for the first episode, everyone seeing if it was any good. Then it got cancelled pretty quickly because you it turns out you can't have Roseanne without Roseanne, and they fired her for some stupid shit.
You really think public support will shift to "he's too sick"? Just look what they are doing with RBG. She has been on the verge of death for like 10 years now, barely able to do her job currently, and they just keep pushing for her to stay on the bench for years longer just to hold onto that little bit more power. She should have retired years ago, and been able to spend her last years just relaxing with her loved ones.
I always wonder about stuff like that when characters in movies and TV shows are speaking another language, how well are they actually speaking it? Do they often just throw in random words and gibberish and have subtitles saying whatever the writers wanted them to say? Always makes me curious.
No, see you aren't understanding it at all. The EVIL FASCIST ORANGE MAN isn't allowed to kick out a specific person for what can only be described as unprofessional behavior. The HONEST and UPSTANDING people of the WHCA can kick out OANN for being exactly what a news organization should be all they want. You know, to protect us all from the truth that Orange Man isn't really that bad after all. The thing that really gets me, is that while they kicked OANN out, literal Chinese propagandists are still allowed in.
At this point, I don't even bother with remakes, reboots and live action this or that. Every single one I see just takes a once great movie or TV show and takes a big shit on everything that made it good. And then they blame the audience for not liking it.
Yea, I really liked Game of Thrones as well. The last season was shit though. I definitely agree about the comedy, people crave that shit and Hollywood just refuses to make it anymore because someone, somewhere might get "offended"
They are also removing any posts trying to organize protests against the unconstitutional lockdowns. I foresee a lot of lawsuits regarding these lockdowns over the coming months/years. Specifically regarding the right to assemble peacefully and the freedom of religion, both of which are being violated daily it seems.
Wasn't there a videogame subreddit that was banning people for saying that, even though it was a quote in the game that they were using in context? I forget, so much censorship lately some of it just doesn't stick anymore.
