Sore-losers eh? Last I checked this just happened and you were losing your shit over it.

Got that backwards, Blob. Greater female agency means they'll be less likely to settle for the simpering beta males their sexless parents try to arrange for them. AKA the kind that include you.

You can tell he's mad when he really start digging up as many descriptions that he can to tack on. It's like when a court slaps you with a few moving violations at your arraignment for vehicular manslaughter.

I had to read that three times because it was such a mess or half formed thoughts and word salad. He keeps going on about this superior future which doesnt exist and isnt even particulary viable, he's been doing this for a while now following the election. He doesnt seem to understand the other world powers have their own desires and interest and about half of them don't give a shit about human rights.

He shares a lot in common with the idiot Trump-kins in that he has this fantastical idea that his candidate has a magic wand that codifies their word into law and that it doesn't have to meet with a gauntlet of peers tearing apart anything they propose or want done.

That might give him a coronary to learn he shares something in common with his "enemy"

Bob's projection is never ending. He's spent so long talking about movies that he's quickly becoming a cinema himself.

Spoiler: Literally Bob

Does anyone else find it amusing and a little depressing when *ahem* "men" like Bob talk about less-than-ideal men?

Does he think that once the glorious feminist revolution is carried out and it's enemies have been put against the wall, that women will start flocking to him? I don't think standards of male beauty are going to change all of a sudden just because the show is run by feminists. I'm pretty sure they haven't changed a whole lot in the last few thousand years, even if Mammoth-killing skills are no longer the most important thing. Neckbeards, FUPAs and in-depth knowledge of Mario lore will never be sexy. Beer bellys will always lose to six packs and biceps, even if fat activists are the ones making the beauty mags. Especially if fat activists are in charge, actually. Those fat chicks love muscled guys.

What Bob is saying reminds me of an article I read today (It's talking about Brexit but the point equates to America and Trump winning too):

American and British middle-class bien-pensants told themselves a deliriously condescending tale about how the (unstatedly ignorant) workers had been misled by the lies of the Brexiters.

The losing half the population regarded the winning half with pity and, more often, disdain. This was a class matter: suddenly it was OK to believe that there was something fundamentally wrong with people worse off than you. Snobbery was respectable again; a dangerous development.
..
Freud said that without the narcissism of minor differences — petty snobbery in essence — we might fight each other. But British snobbery is different. It is highly specific and highly significant, not to say vicious. The assorted minor-difference watchers — design freaks, fashion fuckwits and comedians — should not lull you into thinking real snobbery is a frivolous matter. Alain de Botton, in his book Status Anxiety, gets this right, not least by pointing out that in the 1820s the word ‘snob’ emerged from Oxbridge, where colleges often wrote ‘s.nob’, short for ‘sine nobilitate’ — without nobility.

‘In the word’s earliest days,’ writes de Botton, ‘a snob was taken to mean someone without high status, but it quickly assumed its modern and almost diametrically opposed meaning: someone offended by a lack of high status in others, a person who believes in a flawless equation between social rank and human worth.’

There it is — the moral point. An accident of birth, to the true snob, is not, in fact, an accident. You are, from the womb, imprinted with a grandeur and a value unavailable to the rest of us. We may speak of the virtues of aspiration, of hard work, of getting on, but however much you may strive, you will never be so imprinted.

Obviously there is no material sign that any such imprinting process occurs. This is an extreme superstition which is clung to by some people all the time and which is embraced by many more when their cherished beliefs are offended. The British, under pressure, default to snobbery.

My own theory as to why this may be lies in cultural history. We are taught that our morality and culture derive ultimately from classical Greece, that from Athens to us is, as William Golding once put it, ‘the right line of history’. Toffs, in particular, love this idea — Boris Johnson, for instance, positively wallows in it.

I have always found this notion bizarre in the extreme, not to say plainly wrong. Greek philosophy and drama is a self-help guide for the Athenian elite. As the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre has pointed out, Aristotle’s ponderings on ethics and politics were written from a position of rank snobbery — he had no concern for, MacIntyre says, women, slaves, servants, farmers, fishermen or anybody who actually made anything.

The reality is that the much more inclusive ethics and morality of western liberalism descend not from Greece but from the Sermon on the Mount filtered through the Enlightenment. And what did Jesus say? He said the meek, the poor and the hungry mattered, that all apparent differences in wealth and status were levelled in and by the sight of God.

In defiance of the culture from which their privileges spring, real snobs believe that this is false, that superiority and inferiority are in-born. Even occasional snobs, hobby snobs, betray traces of this belief; it is, in fact, built into the meaning of the word. This is now being further reinforced by a technocratic society that eschews all metaphysical valuations. And equality — this is something the left should learn — is necessarily a metaphysical value, because physically we are definitely not equal. There has to be a leap of faith even in the making of a secular, liberal society.

Full-blooded snobbery is what we should look out for. It is this form of snobbery that, stripping away all the comedy, the narcissism of minor differences and the politics, still exists poisonously in British society and which lately seems to have been given a new lease of life, first by the rise of the toffs to power under Cameron and now by the post-referendum conviction there is some inherent flaw in those who voted to leave.

The more you notice snobbery, the more you discover and the more revolting it becomes. In a censorious age, we selectively protect minorities from our most vehement impulses. Racism and sexism are forbidden (ageism, disgracefully, is not). Snobbery is exactly like racism in that it judges us not for what we say or do but for what we most unalterably are. Snobbery, in short, is often funny but always evil.

So what will Bob's resolution for 2017? Tweet out more things that sound like they come from the Nazi playbook?

 

[cypocryphy]

He'll continue to use twitter like a blog, that's for sure.

Well, it is correct that the nutty side of the MRAs and the anti feminists are fat neckbeards with no friends or sense of humour...

Boy that sounds familiar!

I'm starting to think Bob is very VERY gay.

SJW's just do not want to criticize Islam in any way, do they? Kinda off-topic but applies to Bob of course.

I will never understand the levels of delusions these fat city college-grad armchair intellectuals must have to think they are the endgame of the species' male evolution.

 

[Furina]

Stop defending the ideology that would have me stoned to death because I want to wear my own clothes and sleep with girls. Stop pretending you give a shit about gay people when you are inviting thousands of people who want me dead into the country. Fucking hell, if these people were alive in the 1930s and 40s, they'd be defending Nazism, saying it's completely compatible with Jewish society and blaming "random furnace deaths" for all the dead Jews suddenly popping up.

I'm pretty sure that dumping the electoral college will solve some of Bob's short term problems but would create severe issues for American society in the long run. Of course Bob only cares about the former, naturally.

You could be the literal, actual last man on Earth but women would just become attracted to each other over getting thirsty for a man like Bob.

Surely he has to have even that amount of self awareness. If you cant get her wet, youll never get her wet.

The electoral college was designed to prevent mob rule and streamline the political process. The system as we know it now started with the 12th Amendment, formed in response to the nation's chaotic early elections.

Anyone saying the College is "undemocratic" has absolutely no idea how it works. For starters, the electoral votes of 48 of the states are determined entirely by popular vote. Meaning the candidate most popular with the people in that state gets it. This is fair, because in this "popular vote" utopia Bob wants every single presidential election will be decided by Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. Which I know is something Blob wants, but no one with a lick of sense does. The Founders certainly didn't. And they were much smarter than Matey Potatey.

 

[Lorento]

Now granted, that opinion column taken in that top tweet is from the Sun, which means its probably full of shit, but in this case it is not wrong to say that the LGBT community should really be focusing on the folks who want them dead, rather than some short chap who made a joke about them.
