It’s funny they’re still boycotting the NFL. They all supposedly finished boycotting it during the kneeling and BLM controversies that occurred years ago.

They’re essentially opting out of all of the cultural ties they had to America at large. They only want to associate with their own cultists. Aside from the irony of them creating a safe space, they’re also creating a breeding ground for militants and extremists. It’s no surprise we had a guy chop his dad’s head off for being a government employee.

That's quite a bomb to drop in your last sentence. Gonna need a source on that one.

I thought we were all looking at the same 10 posts here!

This is exactly how it feels 😂 compared to Reddit, I actually really enjoy that. This still has a cozy community vibe, kinda like Reddit did back in 2012 or 2013. Then it all just kinda fractured. Not really a bad thing, as Reddit hosts so many close community, but I do miss how it felt in its earlier years where the entire site had this kinda kindred feeling about it.

I hope we all get to experience this more one day when we completely bungle an attempt to correctly identify a domestic terrorist

I really wish it had a 3 hour option

I think that would be closer to Active, but I honestly can't say how that one is sorted

Happened yesterday, indoctrined right wing self proclaimed conspiracy theorist son killed his "traitor" father and showed the severed head on YouTube for a few hours.

Yet they're the ones who think everyone else is destroying America. Not sure how many leftists have severed the heads of their fathers to date...

Keep in mind that their America IS being destroyed. They're happy in an American where they are free to judge and hate people. The rest of us aren't, it's being taken back, and they're putting up a fight for it.

They don't get that they'll be just fine when they realize they can stop hating people who have nothing to do with their lives.

Their version of America never existed. It's always been ahit ti be a working class person, regardless of race. LBJ didn't try to enact his Great Society programs because working America was doing so well.

Yeah I had to check out after that.

Too much.

33 year old in Buck's County, PA. He filmed a 15 minute YouTube video holding his father's severed head. The Advocate is the only source I've seen so far, sorry. But I have seen the YT video and it's beyond fucked.

"Politics in my sports?!" And then they snowflake about this
