This is the type of knee-jerk dickery that everyone is really missing in the politics threads

lol troll game on point

Idk why any of us engage with sleepingbag’s obvious trolling

i meant u

you probably figured that i suppose

ilx doesn't have trolls anymore afaict

not since.....brodie maybe

gabbnebb doesnt count hes something different

obv the mitteleuropean cell are something different again

obv also anyone disagreeing with a few of the x thread cru are trolls i mean thats a given but no actual real trolls i dont think

honestly I read them to get confirmation of my own opinions, which helps sometimes

love murder. what is your favorite murder, esby?

lies

do you have a second favorite?
do you ever wish that lies could be remastered with the best of contemporary technology to make an even better murder?

i wish i could half speed master the liar in chief

chopped and screwed, maybe?

ghostwrite the tax returns™

appetite for destruction was an obviously superior murder

oh well, it's a gif of hitchcock saying "i think everybody enjoys a nice murder, provided he is not the victim"

When a man lies, he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

good if you want to hear what the haute bourgeoisie are haüting on these days

Posting in politics threads ime has the effect of releasing the pressure valve just a smidge such that a vessel inside my brain doesn't break loose and start whipping about my cranium like an unmanned firehose.

Maybe that's just me.

It's sure to happen someday despite my preventative efforts but I'm all about kicking that can down the road.

(for the Anne McCaffrey ref)

To the extent that they personally are materially unaffected, many people apparently regard details about their elected officials as mere trivia, perhaps something you'd come across in an issue of People Magazine just after the latest in-depth coverage of the current season of The Bachelorette.

'Did you see this, Helen? That goofball Trump was laughing about shooting immigrants! What a goofball! Say, did you see that Big Band Theory finale? What a hoot that was!'

can you imagine being a normie, just making blithe observations about trump then going on to discuss pop culture? leaving us ilxors have to fight the war against trump w. hitler on our own, one chapo ep at a time? beyond fucked.

Feels like there's a distinction you're missing except that instead of missing it you're just intentionally ignoring it in order to make a TrenchObv, but that's cool bro.

capn save a normie

xp jokes on you, 'Helen' + her partner actually both queer female poc, they just also happen to not care. mind = blown yet?

They also both work for a carnival as barkers, know all the words to the second and third verses of God Bless America, and are allergic to tree nuts!
