What do people think of the “Trump Humiliated By Health Care Failure” and “Health Care Rejection Shows Trump Is Already Lame Duck” and “Paul Ryan: Worst Speaker Of All Time?” discourse?

Most people I trust seem to think the health care bill was crap. Blaming people for writing a crappy health care bill seems fair enough.

But there seems to be more of an element of picking on them for being too weak to pass the bill, as if now they’re losers and we can never respect them again.

Can we just say something like “Elected officials should propose bills that they and their constituents want, give the rest of the country a chance to weigh in, and if the rest of the country says no, that means democracy is working and they should come back with something better”?

Like, this is complicated because I don’t want Republicans to pass a health care bill right now. But if this were actually important legislation, I would want the government to say “Good thing the American people made their voices heard,” roll up their sleeves, and then write a better bill.

Whereas now it seems like the incentive is to never propose anything that doesn’t have a 100% chance of getting passed the first time. And the other incentive is to desperately try to steamroll your legislation over everyone’s opposition and never admit you’re wrong, because if it fails (even for good reason) everyone will make fun of you.

Or am I missing something important here?

Bro, it’s the Orange Capitalism Man.  Anything that can be used to verbally attack him will be.

Why are you expecting good faith or actually caring about long-term incentives on the meta?  Neglecting long-term incentives on the meta is how we got here in the first place.

infernalfarndamn asked:

Why does my theory of gender need to explain camgirls? Unless I'm operating on a different definition of that term.

argumate answered:

Why is camgirl a viable career? Why are there so many camgirls? Why are there so few camgirls? Why are there almost no camboys, and those that do exist are mostly patronised by gay men? What are the demographics of camgirls and their customers, and why? And so on.

neverlandsoundgirl said: the answer to all these questions is misogyny

neverlandsoundgirl said: next

I don’t think that is a sufficient answer, in that it doesn’t actually provide an explanation for any of this; one could invert all of the questions above and still provide misogyny as an answer, making it unfalsifiable.

Hai, hai, indeed, my precious Argumate-san.

In fact, the answer to all these questions is testosterone.

I’ve been spiking the water supply with it for decades.  Centuries, actually.  Some might even say millennia.

I’m wanted in 144 Everett branches, soon to be 145.  I just can’t stand the weak and pathetic beasts of the original Earth.  I want this world’s men to be monsters.  Haha.

clown-names discourse

i need the deets @susanr

fuckaclown

just wanna clarify, i am susanr this is just a sideblog because i dont want all of the clown-names stuff on my main for cleanliness,

i’ll start from when i first met roxy (owner of clown names) because itll give you a better idea of my opinion of her

the first incident i remember with her is her using greentext arrows, ironically or not it was in a public group chat and it made people uncomfortable, and when people asked her to stop she kept doing it. this issue still hasnt been resolved and even though its minor it pretty much sums up roxy as a whole

a couple of people and i have actually confronted roxy in my public server, which has been archived and screenshotted, if you want i’ll give you links to both. basically it all boils down to: Roxy does bad thing -> doesnt apologize -> us telling her about it -> her still refusing to apologize and her pretty much… exaggerating what were doing, ie she says that theres a “witchhunt” or that were “attacking” her, this is still before clown-names by the way, which is saying something. 

ever since that dragon maid anime came out her and her friends have been obsessed with it, and when people told them its bad, they pretty much blew it off, even though the show has major themes of pedophilia in it, and even her friend/mod of her server otend turned out to be pretty bad, i dont really know much of the details myself because i never joined her server, but that situation itself is a whole other story.

this is very broad and not very detailed but i hope it gives you an idea

happy-knight

ok maybe the owner is just an asshole….so what? 

Making a call out post because someone is ‘mean’ to you is very petty- by your approach in life people might as well write hundreds of call out posts towards assholes they have interacted with


Is there any proof that she’s an actual pedophile sympathizer because from the information i’ve gathered thus far all I see is claims and not actual evidence.

Hey remember when people insisted that anyone who said callout culture is bad was just a guilt ridden apologist

Alright guys in the audience, listen up.

Choking isn’t kinky enough anymore.

Normies have found out about it and are putting it in their videos and talking about it online. The fad is done. Choking is out. It’s over. It’s so 2016.

Alright, so here’s the new thing:

So during the middle of sex, you are going to pick up your girlfriend (or hookup partner), okay, lift her over your head,
and throw her.

She’ll never see it coming, and the glorious rippling of your manly muscles as she falls from your show of brute strength will turn her on even more and help establish your masculine dominance.
