A new thing I can't stand about the modern right wing is the way people are beginning to glaze and fetishize ancient medieval Europe as this bastion of stability and intellect. It was so great, people languished through a harrowing 3,000 mile boat trip to get away from it. It was so humble that the Church couldn't stand heliocentrism's insult to their geocentric ego. It was so stable, there was always a war going on.
It's pushback due to shitlibs and other assholes constantly demonizing and denigrating European culture and Christianity.
 
The left has literally every celebrity on their side, and by extension the masses. I would like to once again point to the massive boost Kamala got from the "brat summer" and "coconut pill" memes last year. The only reason she wasn't able to win is because she spent the next four months squandering whatever potential she had with progressive voters and making appeals to the Republican party, something that the Democratic party no longer has any reason to do after Charlie Kirk's assassination was met with mass applause.

Dems are already running young white males next year, proving that they were able to get the memo that nobody wants diversity candidates while Republicans run unelectable sheboons and jeets for congressional and gubernational elections. Newsom is a shoe-in for the 48th president and people like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappel Roan, and their ilk will help him along.
Catching up on this crap I saw this take from Fatboy. After reading this it starts to make sense. Rather than being a federal agent, Fatpacks is a massive faggot. His idolatry of celebrities to the point that he thinks that they can determine elections is a classic gay man trait, and his constant dooming (fantasizing?) about being murdered is another defining characteristic of male homosexuals. It's why they're so obsessed with horror movies as well. He also constantly tries to get attention by acting like a hysteric woman, and he obviously doesn't mind if it's negative. He probably prefers if it is. These are sick people folks.

It's ironic how someone praising Christianity is going on and on about "greater good" this and "main character syndrome" that when Jesus was the person to introduce the concept of the individual, that someone is responsible for their own sins and doesn't inherit the sins of family, whereas before one person shared their guilt with their entire family.
I'm not going to watch that video(unsubbed after his 5th "heres why you should follow Nick Fuentes" video popped up in my feed), but your point is also stupid. Most of the notable early settlers left Europe seeking monetary gain and the religious settlers largely left because(in their eyes) post-medieval Europe wasn't Christian enough. The rise of individualism happened post-reformation when people moved away from traditional religious structures.
 
The Simpsons has done an enormous disservice to the nuclear industry
The only reason that show is still on the air is to deter people from Nuclear Energy. The people funding know damn well that plebs will subconsciously associate nuclear power with the dolt Homer Simpson. Who, I must add, is thought of as fucking up daily. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, that thought has been seeded.
THIS IS LEGAL NOW.

TRUMP HAS SINGLE HANDILY TRANSFORMED AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE MARKET.

NO MORE FUCKING SHIP SIZE TRUCKS.

SMALL CARS ARE COOL AGAIN
The Ranger and S10 coming back is huge by itself because it's the kind of truck most single guys can get a lot of use out of.
 
If these faggots want to kill babies so much, why can't they pay for it on their own?
Planned Parenthood presents quite the duality. I've heard that PP claims that only 3% of their funding goes towards abortions. Threaten to take away even that 3% however and they insist they will have to make cuts to all their programs and women will die. They want their cake and to eat it at the same time.

Rand Paul is sucking up to Trump
Even if this is little more than politics as usual today, something needs to be done regarding health care options - especially for those relying on the marketplace for ACA plans. A popular ACA plan in my area saw a 33% rate increase in the monthly premium before subsidies. Anything the Trump administration can do to cut costs or offer more alternatives to have more competition/better premiums would be a good thing. Unfortunately, the Dems and medical lobbyists will fight any changes tooth and nail if for no other reason than to be contrarian.

It also doesn't help that insurance companies will pay a bundle to fully cover modern designer drugs while discontinuing coverage for older medications that are more reliable, effective, and - most importantly - cheaper. Still, a rate hike that's more than 10 times the rate of inflation is a big hit for the people needing the coverage the most.

So many young women get put on this shit when they don't actually need it, it's insane.
Too many people in general are medicated as the path of least resistance. Between Big Pharma's powerful lobbyists and the fact most insurance only covers 15 minutes max for office visits, medical professionals don't have enough time to do a through examination to try to discover the root cause of what ails someone. It's so much easier to prescribe drugs to control the problem instead of addressing and/or eliminating it.

I also wonder how many people who get diagnosed with depression have poor mental health because they've never been taught proper coping skills. Helicopter parents and declining parenting skills - in part because most parents weren't raised properly themselves - haven't helped matters, either.

but I have a lot of resentment from the messaging these days being “no biggie, the meds are so great these days, you’ll hardly notice being schizophrenic”
That's Big Pharma and the drug lobby in a nutshell: Meds and drugs are the solution for everything that ails you even if it does nothing to address the underlying cause.

Honestly I think Homer is he least of the show's problems when it comes to depicting Nuclear Energy. Iirc it's established in the show that none of Homer's controls actually do anything and he's essentially just paid to do nothing all day while other people actually run the plant.

The problem comes from the Mr. Burns side of it, where the plant is constantly falling apart and failing and even when it isn't it's pumping out barrels of glowing sludge that they then dump in the local water supply because it's cheaper that way.

It's the pinnacle of nuclear fearmongering wherein it's insanely dangerous 24/7, creates loads of toxic waste, never gets run or maintained properly, and is only being used to help eeeeeeeevil rich people.

I’m not sure that there’s even a consensus on defining proper coping skills anymore.

Aren’t we supposed to get mad and do crimes when the news anchors imply that we should?

How does one cope in the shadow of whiteness?

Specifically, individualism is an Enlightenment liberalism thing more than a Reformation thing. Also, the whole thing with Galileo was less that Church having an issue with Heliocentrism and more the Church telling him he didn't actually have enough evidence to prove it, so he couldn't teach it as a fact, and then Galileo going proto-Redditor about it and shitting on the Pope. That last bit is what got him in trouble.
