Oops, you gave it away: that’s what sympathizers said about Hitler invading Czechoslovakia. It’s actually almost verbatim. Don’t tell me you really thought you could fool me.

Let me be clear: your most deeply-held convictions of ideology are, at their fundamental and basal level, craven and shameful. You need to humble yourself and question the bases of your ideas instead of arrogantly persisting in the delusion that your belief system has validity. Your inhumanity is disturbing.

“Cutting my nose off is a small price to pay if I get to spite my face”

That is my argument, which you know, which is why you’re trying to pretend it isn’t. Does this normally work on people or something?

By not voting, you voted for genocide under Trump. There is no neutrality against fascism, and there is no nonparticipation. You’re either against them or you’re with them.

Angel Hernandez thought he did this, but it was actually just a vegetable party tray.

A collective gets a singular noun.

This is true. Allowing Trump to win will still be worse. Both things can be true, and that isn’t radical centrism.

Remember, non-voters: this is what you chose.

That’s just it. Some people really want to believe there’s a way out from endless suffering, and point to religion like we wouldn’t find something else to propagate suffering with. The horrible truth that fedora-tippers shrink from is that religion is an intrinsic aspect of the human condition that will never, ever go away. We even have completely secular cults now. Arguably Scientology isn’t secular because they believe in insane shit like space ghosts (because Scientology is just a rip-off of Mormon space lore) but we do have completely non-spiritual, non-supernatural belief systems that are functionally religions (talk to someone who firmly believes in Bigfoot or that the moon landings were faked and tell me they’re not in a religion). We have medical conspiracy cults like Anti-Vaccine and Chronic Lyme Disease, wellness cults like intermittent fasting (which is literally just anorexia plus sophistry) and semen/fecal retention, and the deliberate degeneration of corporate America into cults—my last job had quarterly meetings that included a chated incantation (of our mission statement) and selected readings from the founder’s book followed by a speech about the lesson we can take away from that reading.

What difference would it make? Holocaust deniers don’t actually think it didn’t happen.

That photo is outdated. She looks like this now:
