Executions serve an important role in society.

Bring back sumptuary laws.

There are too many lazy people.

Kill the weak.

War is an honorable pasttime

People who are against spanking children don't understand the evil inherent in human nature.

this got dark v quickly

The Western literary canon has substantial value.

Free verse poetry is less interesting than formal poetry.

Photography is a lesser art and should not be celebrated outside facebook pages.

No good literature has been produced since WW2.

fewer and fewer schools are teaching cursive these days, and that's a real shame

mainstream rap has had a net negative influence on the quality of American chartpop

comics may or may not be a serious art form, but graphic novels really don't belong on 'greatest novels of all time' lists

most people in this world are feebs/children/psychopaths who will revert to arson/scalping/pillaging the moment they're freed from the strictures of organized religion. evangelical atheism is one of the greatest threats to the stability of western civilization, and the world will not be safe until atheism has been scaled down to a Masonic/Rosicrucian-style secret society with a maximum global membership of ≈100,000 carefully vetted rationalist supermen

if i can make it to a church before capture i should be given sanctuary

british imperialism was better than most of the alternatives

individualism is in many respects v good

i've got nothing else i can think of, you people are monsters tbh

'cept unregistered maybe, can get behind the secret atheism bit

brown sugar runs rings around superfoods as a topping for oatmeal.

i have brooks brothers glasses

Compulsory parade attendance.

yoga is bullshit

military technology is pretty cool

I am this guy IRL

it is obnoxious for boys under the age of 13 to have long hair, and an indication that their parents are overindulgent.

today, while at the supermarket, I saw a boy of no more than 10 with a mohawk and felt genuinely incensed.

i like to open a door for a lady

lol, there is definitely this thing that happens in Brooklyn where I see certain longhaired pre-teens and I can just *tell* that they have skateboard dads who encourage them to have it, like it's not even rebellious but actually DL striving by the parents.

I like women.

I don't append "cis" to the male box that I check off on every form.

Cannot abide visible bra straps, even when fashionable

Dogs are outside pets.

Tattoos.

an individual's actions does have something to do w/ their success

not all cultures are equally wonderful and some are bad enough that they should be discouraged

life could be hellish and for many ppl it is so if yours isn't some gratitude is probably in order

nb 1 + 3 might not be internally consistent

Femmephobia is way less useful as a critical concept than misogyny

Self-care is necessary but not thereby radically oppositional

Couching leftist projects in terms of resistance to neoliberalism rather than to capitalism risks a lot of reformist implications

(Not that femmephobia can't be useful in order to talk about, say, biases in specific queer spaces, but it can mystify the conditions that butch and gnc women actually face if applied too generally.)

watching grown adults discussing rae sremmurd like it was literature is to behold the end of art

that's not a "reveal" per se

I forgot imago had some sort of Sremm beef. Why so much hate?

Marxism is dumb and bad.

Capitalist liberal democracy is the end point of Western civilization, it will never be superseded by a higher/better form of social organization, will only end through collapse.

Men should not have facial hair and people in general should not have messy hair.

xps i don't recall saying that you can hear a soulja boy's influence on chaucer

lol "a soulja boy." the soulja boy's tale

currently at peak hair and beard, this will probably only end by collapse too tbh

sremm beef = just watch their latest video, 'set the roof' and listen to the lyrics, they're just the worst people in earth, i fucking despise literally everything they're doing, it isn't even abrasive in an interesting way

lol crut, one for old-skool ilx that

hir wese y manne ful cranke, tellynge

looooool

women's sports are, in general, less exciting versions of men's sports

http://allproudamericans.com/paimages/does-duck-and-cover-really-work.jpg

I'll watch women's tennis from time to time but yeah

There are too many things that I massively disagree with posted here for it to be worth a fight on any one of them. I'm just wondering why the 'loool' at ows? Because those aren't really conservative standpoints? They kind of are in comparison to a lot of current radical discourse (I agree with all of them, though not entirely with the latter, but again, I kind of feel this thread is meant to be a dumping ground not a discussion ground).

sexual dimorphism of humans def means that a lot of sports are more exciting to watch when men are playing them but otoh a lot of women's sports are less commercialized and therefore less likely to suffer from rampant PED use endemic to men's sports and therefore likely to be more of a clean competition

also crowds at woman's sports tend to be less shitty

(emil.y i was laughing at the extreme relativity necessary to consider those "conservative opinions." i assumed they were posted tongue in cheek so thought i was laughing along with one way street, not at them, and wasn't critiquing the positions themselves)

Can't speak for sciatica but I lol'ed at ows' post bc it requires some, like, wicked fractal definition of conservatism within the queer anticapotalist left. but I get how all those opinions could be uncool rn

liberalism as many of my friends practice it is like a shitty religion that i want no part of.

they think of other people as needing to be saved, by them.
they make penance with speech acts, not real action.
they live their lives in constant guilt.
they live in cities that are only differentiated from other cities by being huge destinations for wealth, then they disavow that wealth while continuing to partake in the lifestyle it provides.
they blame rich people for all the evils of the world while ignoring that they are the 1%.
they prescribe how other people should be living their own lives.
they say things that have no meaning other than to reveal to others that they are members in this very sensitive club of good people.
it's nothing but performative.

Lol got xp'd

I must admit I like Republican President Dwight D. "Ike" Eisenhower. But chances are, you also like Ike. Maybe everybody likes Ike.

xps to sciatica and flopson - yeah, both of those reasons are basically fair enough. I think I inhabit so many circles where these are topics for fierce debate that I took it w/ a completely straight face!

the thing that gave me pause is me doing it and the omnipresence of the gambling sites in sporting events as you mentioned, silverfish, is that other friends of mine who had never bet, and my OWN MOTHER started placing them.

My mom of all people couldn't afford it so I got her to stop after her second bet. my best friend mostly did so responsibly but I would have felt very guilty if I lead her down that path but she deleted the app after one loss and hasn't placed one since.

As an aside, gambling is maybe the addiction that I don't get at all, pretty much everything else (alcohol, drugs, sex, social media) I feel like I could run into addiction issues to if I go too far but gambling seems totally uninteresting to me, like I've been to a casino a couple of times and have played some slots and roulette and basically every time just stopped because I was bored.

My wife is in a lottery pool at her job and for some reason we were discussing it once around my son who was maybe 7 years old at the time and I remember him saying something along the lines "Why would keep playing something where you almost always lose?" and that pretty much summarizes it for me too. If I know it's an unfair game going in, how can I possibly enjoy it?

(the above being only my own experience, I know gambling addiction can be a serious issue for lots of people)

there is quite a rush in making a ton of money while doing nothing at all. that's about the gist of the allure.

get deep enough in, when you don't bet, your brain turns it into a 'you're missing an opportunity to make money'.

which is really "you're missing an opportunity to flush your money down the toilet", but the sugar rush part of your brain is in charge of your thinking

My family are staunch Catholics and instilled gambling in me from day one, some of my earliest memories are having my own premium bond numbers and a horse in the 1987 Grand National sweepstake (Dark Ivy 😭 )

“Our whole faith is a wager, Miss Leplastrier. We bet–it is all in Pascal and very wise it is too…we bet that there is a God. We bet our life on it. We calculate the odds, the return, that we shall sit with the saints in paradise. Our anxiety about our bet will wake us before dawn in a cold sweat. We are out of bed and on our knees, even in the midst of winter. And God sees us, and sees us suffer. And how can this God, a God who sees us at prayer beside our bed…I cannot see,” he said, “that such a God, whose fundamental requirement of us is that we gamble our mortal souls, every second of our temporal existence…It is true! We must gamble every instant of our allotted span. We must stake everything on the unprovable fact of His existence.”

…”That such a God,” said Oscar, “knowing the anguish and the trembling hope with which we wager…That such a God can look unkindly on a chap wagering a few quid on the likelihood of a dumb animal crossing the line first, unless…unless–and no one has ever suggested such a thing to me–it might be considered blasphemy to apply to common pleasure that which is by its very nature divine.”

I guess I was raised in a family where "wasting money" was basically the worst thing you could do (never buy a new something until the old one is broken beyong repair, check prices basically everywhere before buying to make sure you are getting the best deal possible, etc.) so I think that's part of it for me, gambling has no appeal because money going out is more of a negative than money coming in is a positive.

^ classic Protestant perspective

Yes, as a scion of midwestern Lutherans that is absolutely true.

makes sense. my family wasted money like there was no tomorrow so I had a good model to emulate

I remember my mother screaming at my father for spending $800 to fix sprinklers without checking with her first.

imagine the gasoline on the fire when my friend, who was over, softly mentioned he fixed sprinklers and he could have done it more cheaply afterwards

I used to work in a bookies one summer and it was startling how we’d have people in literally all day, some of them needing to be told to leave so we could close. Our minimum bet was €0.20 and we’d have people searching for change on the floor so they could put another one on the dogs. I’m not against gambling per se. I maybe make one or two bets a year and I made my first at the race track when I was 9 (which I won), but the industry is so insanely predatory, omnipresent and resistant to regulation because it buys politicians…It’s really appalling & you hear about people’s lives being ruined all the time.

I feel like anyone who is actually aware of the full impact of gambling and still thinks "this is totally fine to promote" is either a gambling addict or a psychopath. And I think a lot of libertarians are psychopaths, so that checks out.

ew sorry

lol @ image

this couch and dolphin stuff is deeply unseemly. the guy has ridiculed himself on the record so many times over and spouted all manner of bigoted shit; nail him on what he's actually said and done

he's such a fucking offputting weirdo! you don't need this weak twitter shit!

people are criticizing him for that stuff too! like, probably more than the couch and dolphin stuff. the couch and dolphin stuff is lols.

we're not going to find leaked memos from Harris campaign saying "bang him on the couch stuff"

Uncool but obvs not conservative, sorry imago

lol fair point

The couch and dolphin stuff is corny because it's (1) not true and (2) sounds like a bunch of middle schoolers yukking about a false rumor about a kid in class peeing their bed or something. But yeah, not a conservative opinion.

yeah otm

it's fun lols in a period of time where there haven't been any in a while, it ain't that serious

also technically the dolphin google was real

The google was real, but he googled "Woman dolphin." That is obviously not a porn search. It's not like you search for straight porn by typing "man woman."

i hate to break it to you, but do a search for woman dolphin and look at the results in videos.

and make sure you don't do it on a work computer

Serious question: do you actually think that JD Vance was searching for dolphin porn?

no. who gives a flying fuck?

this is the dumbest gripe

but, however, why the hell would you search for "woman dolphin" in the first place?

who gives a flying fuck?

man fuck off dude

When they go low, we go high.

who gives a flying fish

i know y'all probably didn't mean it this way but like we've all been miserable for months, a bunch of us are having innocent laughs over it on a Friday ,and you're sitting here tut-tutting as if we actually believe he fucked a couch (or care) other than it being a funny thing to make fun of him for

lol deems

spouted all manner of bigoted shit; nail him on what he's actually said and done

This is a good approach - Trump's basr will be horrified Vance saud something bigoted, and when questioned on it he will be contrite and apologetic.

Yeah the weird stuff is also fueling attention to the fascist aspects of his agenda. They can work together.

Point:

The couch and dolphin stuff is corny because it's (1) not true and (2) sounds like a bunch of middle schoolers yukking about a false rumor about a kid in class peeing their bed or something. But yeah, not a conservative opinion.

Counterpoint:

GOP VP candidate JD Vance fucked a couch.

he also had a big old wank over some Dolphin porn. this has been Fact Checked by the porn division of Associated Press.

woman dolphin person camera tv

if people want to say he has small hands or whatever that's their thing. i don't care if he fucked a couch or a dolphin or a dolphin on a couch.

but, however, why the hell would you search for "woman dolphin" in the first place?

prob bc he was trying to find that tweet, which he had seen earlier but didn't decide to comment on until later

i hadn’t realized there was no factual basis for the couch thing. didn’t look it up but assumed there was at least some shred there. what’s it’s origin?

what to do when your roommate doesn't realize you're home and thusly is having loud sex in the living room

it's fun lols in a period of time where there haven't been any in a while

Notwithstanding my gripe, I still think my “Hillbilly’s Complaint” joke was pretty good.

Yeah its midnight over here, you are about to drop off and something completely insane happens over the pond you are glued to your phone, laughing away till 2am.

Its been a fine summer...xxp

TRUMP: i thought you said you liked being my vp pick
JD VANCE: no i said "sofa so good"

couch thing just not my kind of humor at all, and I like some pretty dumb shit, wins otm as usual
