For a moment, I thought the plot had been so lost that SNL was doing skits mocking Biden press briefings.

Rainbows, I know, but that's Poe's Law for ya.

Am I wrong, or does everyone just not care about Mark Hamill. I know he's a staunch establishment loyalist, but who gives a crap about him. He was the worst part of Star Wars this side of the Ewoks, and has done nothing since. Why does he exist.

The amount of shit the government is pulling to attempt to appear more legitimate is astounding.

Luke Skywalker was good for what he was supposed to be in the story in the Original Trilogy.

The man is a good actor... He's a good joker.

He's just... Not a great actual guy I guess.

At least he doesn't piss and shit on his hands all the time.

The pro-Hamas protestors got support from Shawn Fain, the current head of the UAW who's a real pain in the butt.

U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) blasted the United Auto Workers (UAW) leadership Thursday for siding with the agitators currently causing problems on college campuses.

UAW President Shawn Fain released a statement criticizing police and the leadership of some of the universities for the “mass arrest” of the anti-Israel demonstrators.

“The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice. Our union has been calling for a ceasefire for six months,” Fain said. “This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong. We call on the powers that be to release the students and employees who have been arrested, and if you can’t take the outcry, stop supporting this war.”

He was great in the Wing Commander games.

Is "will to power" the correct phrase to use here? I never could quite wrap my head around that one. Maybe "might makes right"?

Will to power i think refers to having the stomach to do what is necessary and actually wield that power to maintain control. So i would say yes, it is.

This is going to really fuck the union expansion efforts in the South.

he literally got his start pretending to be a white pimp at 21. if the nigs that work in chicago didn't realize the white dude wasn't actually a pimp then he must be fucking amazing at what he does. From what i remember the concept of a white (arabs don't count) pimp has been a joke, something only seen on tv like how every criminal in commercials is exclusively white.

which is odd to me, maybe i'm from the old school but every foreigner that gives me compliments just proves their own imposter syndrome. even "bro"ing out, you really expect me to believe someone would openly enjoy the stuff me and other kiwis enjoy?

from my experiences 90% of getting away with shit is "act like you're supposed to be doing it and everybody will just go along with you because you obviously know what you're doing"

while i'd agree with you, at a certain point this is like saying "of course you could get away with blackface and walking into a hip hop club, you just need confidence" like no. At a certain point you can't fake it. unless you actually believe all that PUA, there is a pretty good limit, speaking of which post your dox in this thread.

this is just reversion to the mean.

It is simply proof that the left has lost the culture wars. Their entire "trust the science" religion of rationality cult has fallen flat with the public. Most people aren't empty-minded machines accepting whatever input the government tells them, they are simply not sharing their actual opinions. They just nod and listen and continue to think whatever they want. The left critically failed to understand that beliefs don't go away by silencing them. People just stop telegraphing their thoughts and beliefs. Now the left fundamentally does not understand their enemy anymore.

Missing the part of where "most people" are not socialists, or national socialists lfull-blown Stalinist and/or Maoist tier communists that the Left is at minimum.

I can believe it, but only because i've seen it with my own eyes. hint hint; he's probably exclusively talking with other post-medicare age boomers. Most likely they just won't vote either way. Also you have to realize how fucking naive your average boomer is if they didn't grow up rough. To use a kiwifarms example its like Vickers vs Morris when dealing with broke scumbags like Ethan Ralph. One of them actually believed "the courts will see it my way" while the other grew up in an area during the height of the mafia proving you can kill people and get away with it.

From what i've seen its similar breakdown, the "educated, respectable" boomers who held their nose to vote trump in 2016 and barely tolerated him vs the ones that had to claw their way up like trump from the slums and never really respected police, courts, the military or TPTB in general were "ride or die" since he came down the escalator.

Beyond that the ones that are done with trump literally never interact with anyone that isn't lily white 5th generation americans, to them "build the wall" is absurd because they maybe see a mexican once every year, instead of having their entire neighborhood overrun with them. even in their sphere, the second they have to experience seeing a hometown or a place where their kids grow up go from a suburb to a favela they're on the trump train. They might be a constant complainer but they'll never not vote trump.

Also i bet jeff never talked about the college protests either, MSNBC would have been smart enough to realize that would show how insular his perspectives are.
