It will never cease to amaze me how thirsty liberals are for the blood of people they've never met and have no real impact on their lives. Trump wants a peaceful end to the conflict so that lives quit being sacrificed pointlessly, and instead they claim he must be a bad guy working for THE ENEMY. The same people who twenty years ago were protesting the pointless Middle East wars are now foaming at the mouth at the idea of wiping Russia off the face of the earth. And of course, because they can't think in any other way, they frame everything through pop culture.
I hate them. I hate them so much.

Did MTG swindle the American people like zew does?
I'm tired of the Ukrainian midget's LARP of being a super tough wartime president. Faggot, it's called having a modicum of respect for the people that have literally been funding your existence for years now. It would not surprise me if that little stunt contributed to Trump's dislike of the man. Certainly didn't make it any harder for him to kick the midget out of the White House, I'll say that much.

Bobby waxes philosophical, and Obama worship.

I don't get what these people finds Bobby so inspiring. I feel like Principal Skinner in the meme.
Obama
literally ran on "Hope" and "Change," even more empty platitudes than "normal." And instead, we got none of the former and a whole lot of the latter as he bailed out the banks that caused the recession, fucked up health care even more, kept the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan going, and racially divided our country to levels we hadn't seen in decades. The fact that Bobby is holding him up as a positive example of politicking is just...well, I mean, it's par for the course for this wetbrain, I guess.

And if Hoover had done that, the depression probably would have fixed itself pretty quickly. Free markets tend to correct relatively fast when left alone, but when the government steps in and tries to muck with things...well, consider how long FDR was president, and consider that the depression lasted throughout his entire presidency.
(Note that Hoover himself started attempting to fix things through government action before FDR was elected, doing many of the same things that the cripple would later expand upon. I can't blame him for panicking, but it was the wrong move and he made a bad situation worse.)

You hate Tesla because you have Elon Derangement Syndrome.
I hate Tesla because electric cars are fucking retarded.
We are not the same.

Anti-DEI is not simply about which demographic are better or smarter (although men are on average indeed more capable than women, and white men are indeed more capable than colored men); it is an opposition to the liberal idiosyncrasy of hiring someone based on a characteristic not related to the job. So if you hire someone just to fill out the "at least 50% woman" quota, and that woman you hire happens to be a capable
rara avis, you are still hiring by DEI and your hiring practice is NOT justified.
Insert graphs of how whites and males tend to score better on various aptitude tests here, as well as the demographics of the highly-skilled professions in the country. Maybe some groups tend to be better than others, and maybe forcing arbitrary quotas because that fact makes you feel bad is a stupid decision.

Bias are strongly-held beliefs that are unjustified, perhaps unjustifiable. That doesn't mean bias are always wrong or bad, or that they cannot lead us to truth, but all idiosyncrasies in thinking that don't lead to truths are bias. "Expertise" isn't even the same kettle of fish as bias. Expertise not a solitary belief, but mastery of a whole, shared, knowledge system, usually with a component of hands-on, practical knowledge. It is telling that we talk of "expertise in hydro-power management" but never "expertise in feminism". Lindsay Ellis does not have an "expertise in abortion", because she is not a certified gynecologist.
Having experience in a particular narrow field can indeed help with your reporting, though reporters tend to seek out specific experts to give their opinions. Belonging to a particular demographic group does not inherently make your reporting on that group better because it's not a homogeneous blob of identical people. Not every woman is the same, nor every black person, nor every faggot; hell, not even everyone who's had an abortion. Presuming to speak on behalf of your entire group is laughably stupid.

If you say so.
Rachel, if I may, allow me to introduce you to one Robert "Moviebob" Chipman, whose hatred of rural people knows no bounds.
Also it's kind of a given that urbanites tend to look down their noses at country folk. Look at the entirety of the r/fuckcars subreddit, who bemoan the idea that anyone wouldn't want to live in a pod in the bughive. This extends to probably a significant portion of city dwellers. All of them? Maybe not, but certainly a lot.

Solo was rejected because it was an aggressively mediocre movie whose sole purpose seemed to be to shove a bunch of memberberries in your face, as well as pointlessly explain the origin of literally every single thing about Han Solo as a character while also turning him into an utter joke. It also had one of the most obnoxiously awful characters in the form of the droid that existed only to blather about droid rights until she got shot in the face.
And "exquisite cinema vibes?" Really? The movie whose original version got axed because Kathy didn't like what the original directors wanted to do, then replaced them with Ron Howard to salvage something out of it? The movie that has awful lighting and color correction throughout? The movie with horrendous pacing and cringeworthy comedy?
Fucking hell. Modern Star Wars fans, everyone.

The media literacy crowd when they come across a movie that doesn't spell out every single detail for them.
If this simpleton had paid even a modicum of attention, he'd realize that Ellen didn't stand at the window "cause plot say so," it was because she was under his influence. Orlok is basically a demon, a creature of the underworld, and he plays by his own rules, as the professor explains in another scene that this moron apparently didn't listen to either. There is internal logic that is set up and paid off, and nothing goes against it: Ellen accidentally called to something she didn't mean to, she has been linked to him ever since, and he is attempting to finally claim the prize he's longed for. The professor even literally says that a maiden's sacrifice can stop him, setting up his eventual demise. It's not "Orlok is stupid, haha we tricked him," it's "Orlok will be so possessed by his desire to consume his prey that he won't even stop to flee before the sun rises." The men's plan to stop him fails, and it's only Ellen willingly giving herself up that ensures his defeat.
I swear, Bob is so fucking stupid, yet the people who orbit around him frequently manage to be even dumber.
