Thank goodness we can finally move on from that to the more scientific good vs. evil maskers, anti-vaxers, and demonizing those who walk in the out door... Let's not even get started on those selfish enough to still see family members when explicitly forbidden to do so.  ;)

I guess the good news is that we can still maintain those good vs. evil narratives. And now we have Dr. Fauchi to look to as a savior figure and to confirm that we are correct to call those who will not triple mask "evil grandma killers."

Hey don't try to make some sort of commie hypocrite out of me!  Let the record show I have steadfastly maintained doc's right to go in the out door (even though that sounds super gay), and even encouraged others to do so for my amusement!

Too late. You already made yourself one long ago. It’s a positive sign that you can finally acknowledge it though. Baby steps.

This is an ugly sprawling argument but it is the first one I have encountered that tries to string together the paranormal, conspiracies, masculinity, and right-wing politics (i. e. the universe of bellgab) and, fascinatingly, finds even deeper roots way back to the 50s with some history of which I was not aware -- a brawl in the Senate, kicking in the balls!  Those were the good old days.

The idea that, with the collapse of the Cold War and the scary commie threat that oriented society, conspiracy allows maintaining the childish facile good-vs.-evil stories well into adulthood is not new, and neither is the idea that techno-demon aliens targeting and ritually emasculating men for their reproductive potency (the pervasive sperm collection and the gay panic of weebering) represents the sublimation of men's deep insecurities about their place in the modern world, but it's fun to read someone else's take on it.

It also contains this little revelation:

Horn Boy could easily be one of us!
The article forgets all the woo and lefty UFO and conspiracy types, starseed children, new age, Aquarian Age, Kennedy stuff, that Betty and Barney Hill were a mixed race couple, Tellinger and his UBUTU movement, Whitley's "probing," President Carter claimed to have seen a UFO, Kucinich saw a UFO, Shirley and lots of Hollywood types can go on and on about stuff. And all the women UFO 'experiencers?' And why wasn't Art mentioned, at all, in this article?!  >:(
ps: the Venona Papers and other releases proved that McCarthy was on the right-track. Though his mannerisms and methods might have been bad.

Slate is just another commie rag, which is why I didn’t even bother to read it.

That's all ancient history, though.  I think ever since the global warming stuff the left has been increasingly interested in scientism (the political uses of science) which is supposed to preclude shaky evidence like UFOs.

The political use of science is not science, it’s politics. ::)

I was!

No, I think you were just using that to avoid answering al’s reply directly, using a little bit of his patented whataboutism back on him. Too bad I can see through it.

As memorable as Norman Mailer vs Gore Vidal:

"Joe McCarthy kneed Drew Pearson in the groin,
and Sen. Richard Nixon had to pull McCarthy off Pearson."

Quote from: K_Dubb on February 12, 2021, 01:46:43 AMI bet you are nice to hug. Somebody once told me I was like holding a bag of golf clubs.

Yeah, I'm nice to hug. But I'm still a fat sack of shit, at the end of the day.

Your befuddlement has nothing to do with me.  Maybe your avatar reflects your self-image. Nice nonetheless. 
Pick up your post count . . . you don't want to fall below 75+ per day.

I think you should thank God because it is doable to lose weight. What if you were butt ugly? Can't lose that unless you get plastic surgery or who knows what.
And seriously you aren't that fat. You should have seen me when I was pregnant!!!

QuoteThis summer, SPD decided to commandeer the sidewalk so they could build a little castle for themselves. Some helpful neighbors decided to pitch in and contribute with a snow barricade. (The cops did not take it well.)

It would’ve been so much funnier if someone you loved really needed the police during that time. ;)

Does the block commissar control the Fire Delivery Service?
