Like I don’t think he says it’s ok. He just says this is how it is and there’s a lot read into what he writes that isn’t directly said.

I agree he gets a lot of unfair flak but be real man, he's a parrot.

I think he actively courts those "misunderstandings" for the lulz.

On reddit, the standard T_D troll position to take for any criticism is now:

1. Completely disregard any information.

2. Express your displeasure with being reminded of the dumpster fire.

3. Lack any creativity.

Try arguing with someone that just can't fathom the fact that the Nationalist Socialist party weren't actually socialists. Or that Hitler actually relaxed gun laws for German citizens.

Steven Crowder has too much power.

Shhh, give them a chance to use those brain cells. It'll be good practice. They shouldn't need every little thing explained to them like children. Let them put on those pants one leg at a time!

I'm pretty sure I'm a beautiful bald eagle (in spirit).

Rededit, 4chan, etc

it's just affluent white incels

black hole for creativity, and extremely unfunny

I know a guy that participates in that troll culture and he gets laid more than anybody I know. (He'd definitely be an incel if he didn't).

Edit: Guy is actually a sex addict tbh.

Any popular internet space including most multiplayer video games are riddled with this form of stupidity. ****s old and makes it hard to enjoy multiplayer games with randoms. Im happy to be playing a 20 yr old game with a bunch of adults who have a family and dont act like that.

PornHub > Reddit

Nobody talks. Get in, get out, don't make eye contact.

I use xvideos but the past few months i havent been watching much porn, which is probably a good thing. Too much fantasy not enough reality.

Sounds like good advice for a quick visit to a cheap brothel. :pimp:

Do you ever read the comments?

The videos that provoke outrage really are rough.

Side note: I think someone should start a no blow job porn site. Too much dick sucking for my taste. No pun intended.

I'll read a few comments for the lulz but I guess I've never watched anything on Pornhub (and then read the comments) that sparked any outrage.

Americans love stupid, sounded more like bragging.

Idiots across the earth will always love stupid as long as we allow it to flood the airwaves.

If they pay for my plane ticket I'll consider their offer.

This montage is hilarious.

As I’ve previously bragged a lot about I’ve traveled a damn bit and America sucks by far the worst. It’s an absolute curse to be born here.

Traveling and living somewhere is quite different though.

I lived overseas for over a decade.

She's totally right. Too bad the media abandoned journalism decades ago.

For real though. The whole time I’m thinking bitch what do you rep besides selling car and truck commercial time.

Oh and we’re gonna report the good things too. Great.

Holy god Rand Paul's looks like an old mop.

Rand Paul's?

Yes his looks are like an old mop. I was speaking in modern African American vernacular.

Pointing out Trump's hypocrisy is laughable at this point. Tell us about his crimes. This mother****er child rapist needs to be impeached.

This is more revolutionary than anything Portland antifa has ever done

It would be revolutionary if a bunch of Orthodox Jews started spontaneously looting. For black teens in Philly that's just another Tuesday.

Close the for profit concentration camp known as Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia

An embarrassment to my home state

No Nazis in Georgia!!!

Tbh the whole border situation is part of why I had to turn on Trump. I never took all that build the wall **** serious I just loved how much the media hated him. Even Fox openly despised him right up until they figured out he was their only choice.

Bill de Blasio’s proposes a Worker’s Bill of Rights

https://billdeblasio.com/billofrights/

Quote:

Bill de Blasio’s “Just Cause” policy would replace “at will” employment with a just cause system that protects workers from unfair terminations.

a right to at least two weeks paid personal time year

ensure all workers have access to paid sick days

guarantee that workers are paid when they take leave for the birth of a child or to care for themselves or a family member

Falsely claiming that workers are independent contractors in order to skirt worker protections will be a thing of the past. This practice would be illegal and punished severely.

Workers will have the right to know their schedules at least two weeks in advance.
Workers will be entitled to make their own decisions about working additional hours outside of their schedule — and will receive premium pay when they do.
Workers will be entitled to compensation when scheduled work is cancelled.

Raise the minimum wage to $15

Bill de Blasio will ensure salaried workers who still don’t earn a real livable wage are paid time and a half when they work overtime. Anyone making less than $50,000 a year should automatically receive time and a half pay for more than 40 hours of work per week.

Increase penalties for violations, including increasing use of criminal prosecution for wage theft. When employers systematically steal money from workers it should be treated as a crime just as other forms of theft are.

Make it easier to join a union

Institute “card check”: Workers will be able to join a union at any time by signing up confidentially. When a majority of the workers at a particular workplace have joined a union, the National Labor Relations Board must certify the union and order the company to begin collective bargaining.
Eliminate all forms of employer interference and intimidation on the subject of union representation: No worker should ever be pressured by anyone during work time. That means an end to captive audience meetings, and barring managers from discussing unionization with workers when they are on the clock.

Ban permanent replacement of striking workers.
Guarantee free speech for workers and unions, including removing prohibition on secondary boycotts.

Ban “non-compete” clauses that currently apply to an estimated 30 million workers, restricting worker mobility and suppressing wages by preventing employees from accepting a better job at a different company.

So what does everybody think of Canada & her upcoming election??

Seems pretty inconsequential in comparison to the rise of fascism elsewhere. Or did I miss that uprising in Canada?

You did, scheer is a strong contender.

Undoubtedly backed by Putin and Co. Some men just want to see the world burn.

You know that there's, like, a whole world outside of America & trump right?
