Ironically, the left frequently references the "Face Eating Leopards" meme, even though they're the only ones who regularly eat their own

This should be reappropriated into an alt right meme, every "Woman who ran an illegal immigrant shelter raped by the illegals she protected" news story replied to with "I never thought the leopards would eat MY FACE!"
I've only ever seen it used, I didn't know the origin and I thought it came from illegal immigrants and their consequences. Had no idea it didn't explicitly come from that.
 
People might be bashing you for this. But if there's anything this thread has shown me (including people I've spoken to IRL on all sides of the political spectrum), most don't really look at long-term sustainability. If they don't see immediate positive changes, they'll assume everything is going into a super death spiral. I wonder how this is going to play out for the rest of his presidency, considering how woefully pessimistic people get over this...
I think the only people who would be vocal about this, especially at this point, are the ones who don't think into the future that much.

How many people genuinely care about this when they're not asked to? And then when voting day comes and they're asked to care, how do they evaluate the presidents' actions? I don't think the majority of people form solid opinions until they're obliged to, and when they do, they have at least 2 years of relevant information and happenings to process and comb over in their heads.
 
Florida man arrested for threatening to assassinate Donald Trump.

Justin Blaxton called 911 demanding a ride to the airport so he could fly to DC to carry out his deranged fantasies.

He also said he’d blow up Trump tower in NYC, and that he wanted Donald Trump at his house, saying “tomorrow is his last day on Earth.”

Blaxton has a history of mental illness.

 
Chuds will read marx and watch their hokey pirated media slop, read their socials and go to their hangouts and contain their power levels and spergouts and play their games and talk to them just to better learn what they actually think and to better make fun of them
Can confirm, do the same (though I never bothered with theory). I think the mark of a politically savvy member of the online right is the ability to be a chameleon in any given group. Lurking, then adopting their mannerisms and shibboleths; blending in while joining in their conversations.
Personally, I just like learning about what makes my opponents tick.

Every meme now has a lifecycle that goes: Rando inspired shitpoaster creates it — The leftists “appropriate it” and ruin it with idpol and paragraphs of text — then the right re-appropriates it to show how ridiculous the leftists are — finally the meme becomes “verboten” and it continues to exist in it’s final chudded form as the leftists reee and try to get it taken down. They do this over and over and over, it’s the Sideshow Bob rake meme.

With Trump's reforms, maybe this man will get the padded room he needs instead of being robbed by big pharma and left out in public where he can be a menace to society.

Florida man pulls worst assassination attempt ever, asked to to go jail.
 
It needs to be stressed that connections are still the most valuable thing you can obtain in college, even in the rotting indoctrination camp form that we have today.
Though to be fair, I doubt that many people know which type of kids and professors that you would in to network with in order to make the most of where you plan to go in life.
This depends a lot on the type of program you’re in, too. The school I went to was very theoretical and I never did particularly well with my profs because I’m too practical in how I approach things. This made me a perfect fit for the company I work with now, who, coincidentally, had longstanding beef with my school.

Incidentally, for anyone who’s currently in school - adjunct professors who are still working in the field you want to go into are your absolute best resources. They’ll be able to tell you what the industry is like right now and what’s in demand, and they’re the ones you want on your resume when you’re looking for jobs.
 
Yeah it’s a way of telling where an American is from, just like having them identify a quarter pound of butter.

Now you are aware you are breathing, and that there is East coast and West coast butter.

Living in Texas I have the best of both worlds out here.
So really I think the whole current administration is doing everything in their power to bring all americas lost industry back. Problem is, in today’s world that isn’t something that I think can be done, and even if so definitely not over a single presidential term. And while we’re doing that it leaves the country vulnerable to a knife between the ribs. Also because of that I fully expect the current administration to fully uncap H1B visas as an incentive to bring industry back to the US, even if it fucks over the average American.
Not to be a blackpilled doomer but I do think things have been allowed to get so bad for so long that it is worse than I thought.
Seriously unless you're buying industrial equipment (and even then internally it's just shit CCP parts not even Taiwanese) good luck. off the top of my head the USA made stuff I regularly use are (not counting food items or shit like tires or how my car is technically made in Texas but owned by a multinational corp): my lodge cast iron (they're the only foundry left in the usa), a pair of usa made new balance, a hat from a small company, my wrangler jeans, my suits and a comb. Everything else is made in China, India, Mexico, Vietnam, Malaysia, Egypt, Japan, Korea or Bangladesh. And of quality Japan, Korea and some Mexican goods are worth buying.
Deindustrialization has really destroyed the US and we really had the idea of globalism take over US leadership. The sad part is there was an offramp after nafta we could have signed but our leaders in the 1990s insisted that the future would be everyone gets a cushy job in tech and nothing bad would happen.
 
I'm pretty sure they're a Cult of Personality revolving around Xinnie the Pooh these days...
Sure, but they also have all of these superstitions, like you’re not allowed to reference Xi having been born in the year of the snake because of bad luck and shit, and you have the problem of them poaching American brown bears because bear gallbladder is supposed to make their tiny dicks work or whatever
