Aight.

lol

You really will play any angle. You’re shameless.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only one here who has openly said they would welcome a violent class struggle.

FTR, that tweet triggered Ant.

I'm more concerned about your assertion that someone's race will change by swinging from a tree.

Welllll, I haven't seen anyone around here protest against killing the rich. I thought it was a universally accepted mod approved policy.

I'm more concerned about you hanging from my ding ding.

I dont respect gender identity, I think it's ****ing stupid, but I do respect other people. It doesnt have to be some silly "youre either with us or your against us" type thing.

I don’t know how you make that word so funny but you seriously kill it

To get an outloud laugh out of me these days is really something

Congrats on doing the nearly impossible

The boy's got a gift. Just like Kenny Loggins.

How is that distinction in any way meaningful?

What can I say? I know how to use my ding ding.

One point I agree with OH and others about is that the rich and powerful tend to use their identities as tools to insulate themselves from criticism, which is what the sisters did with the Matrix sequels and also Speed Racer and Sense8. The more money you have, the less that identity choice actually matters because it really isn't about their identity and more about exploiting whatever the target demographic is.

A different example - in regards to Robert Johnson (founder of BET), who is a black billionaire and comes from low-income household beginnings, a guy who says that "Democrats have moved too far left", is it fair to criticize him when he tells young black men and women that they can all be just like him (bootstrapping) with a little hard work? He's a rich and powerful person using his identity as a weapon to insulate himself from criticism in his particular field.

All I'm saying is that celebrities are fair game if punching up is what it's all about. Even if the color of that celebrity's skin is orange.
