That's a great explanation that's much more big picture, as I recall some of the #FBPE libs were even blaming Brexit passing on the left being too PC and pro-trans, thereby aggravating the leavers too much.

That episode of South Park where Richard Dawkins freaks out when he finds out his girlfriend Mrs. Garrison was trans, and unravels his budding atheist world empire because of this, was so prescient.

But here's my attempt at figuring out what happened. Those anti-evangelical British Lib Dem/Labour atheists (e.g., Richard Dawkins, Graham Linehan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Stephen Fry, Maajid Nawaz John Cleese, Ricky Gervais) who were so beloved by libs in the Bush and early Obama eras, splintered from the younger liberals/leftists on the degree to which the west should tolerate Muslims, and attributed this split to younger people's obsessions with "political correctness." They began bleeding their following, and got extremely obsessed with affecting a "nuanced intellectual" persona and reveling in their persecution complex by going "I'm as liberal as they come but the modern left is doing ____ too much and is even calling ME a racist and sexist!"

The alt-right/chuds/Conservative dark money network loved hearing this shit and started glomming onto these people, because their movement was dying and needed a less cringe, marginally more secular sheen. Suddenly these atheist personalities found that their cries about political correctness on videos/podcasts would always garner a huge response (even if it's from the right), and so started playing this shit up more. Around the same time JK Rowling was getting obsessed with twitter because she regularly dunked on Trump and got fawned over by Tumblr-types. However, as she reveled daily in adoration, once she did get criticisms about her trepidation towards trans people and Jeremy Corbyn, it was like turning off her pleasure tap, and drove her insane.

All this converged in the form of bitter Brit atheists backing JK Rowling because of their shared animosity toward the younger left's "coddling" and "cancel culture" (i.e. not thinking they were the ideological vanguard anymore). Once Caitlin Flanagan's article "The Coddling of the American Mind" framed this behavior of the younger left as an open academic inquiry issue, a new collective of influential "anti-PC" web personalities was born.

The Brit libs became willing to do anything to stick it to the young people who didn't like them anymore, and began jamming up liberal spaces with claims that reducing racist/transphobic literature from college syllabi was hindering "free inquiry" and "intellectual growth." This got them invites to Real Time with Bill Maher, JRE, and the Rubin Report, and even suckered many liberal/leftist comedians/academics like Whitney Cummings/Kumail Nanjiani/Zizek/Finkelstein. So they just stayed stuck like this and helped portray Rowling as a martyr, and "serious concerns" about the "excess" of trans rights became the mainstream UK culture among even the Labour Party, subsequently even echoed and appreciated by Hillary Clinton.

Seriously, Liberals blame this lack of headlines on the people or the media, but ask them to fund non-paywalled, nonprofit pro-Democrat newspapers, and they will be too invested in smelling their own farts to say anything other than "We're not gonna add to the mud slinging, we're bigger than that!"

The idea of maybe fucking bragging without tact is beyond them not because of a lack of means, but because they can't let go of the high they get from their self-identification as the "decent" people.

And then they have the audacity to express disgust at Trump for putting his name on the outgoing stimulus checks near election time, rather than facing up to the fact that it is simply good politics with a measurable electoral impact. Democrats do not value having the power to protect the groups they claim to care about, at least not more than they value their ability to self-identify as the party of respectability and moderation.

  1. Great, so the first issue is already in the process of being fixed, and you can maybe subtract it from the cloud hanging over you!
  2. You cannot control what your friend does, but you can begin putting into words what message you'd send them. Even if they never see your message, your healing demands that you write it out, even as a personal note.
  3. I think that is very achievable, if you pinpoint few cars first and save them in an online bookmarks folders, then divide the rough cost over the number of days you would like to obtain the car by. Perhaps you can do a combo of GoFundMe and odd work here and there (including filling out surveys, etc.). I will help share your GoFundMe if you make it.

Biden's public persona of being a doddering old fool undercuts what he also is: an easily angered and self-destructively stubborn man. He has always devolved into a threat-maker and insult-thrower by the slightest criticism, whether from a journalist or a member of the public.

Whether it's "Listen, fat," or when he threatened to throw a guy's phone or when he responded to a black news anchor asking him about cognitive tests with something like "Why don't we make you take a cocaine test!" Biden is exceptionally ornery, and incapable of being reasoned with when in that state.

That is why there was that expose article about how Biden's inner circle is neolib/neocon lackeys like Joe Scarborough and Larry Summers, while savvy staffers more cognizant of his actual perception by the public are reluctant to clue him into any upsetting realities, lest Biden chews them out and sidelines them.

I know that ex-Trump staffers said that Presinald Trunt would often outright shout that he was going to have them executed or jailed, but I think the impotent cartoonishness of such threats is less menacing than when Biden gets in your face and grits his teeth and growls out in hushed tones a genuine and feasible consequence.

Call me crazy, but I sincerely, no joke, feel like in one of these debates Trump or his team might try to physically trip Biden or knock him over so that he falls and dies. I don't think it is beyond the scope of possibility that this could happen.

Trump: So I said, ‘Let me ask you a question, and he said, ‘Nobody ever asked this question,’ and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT —very smart. He goes, I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’ By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks? I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, ‘I think it’s a good question.’ I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that.

Biden: leans forward, causing an eyeball to fall out

Oh yeah nvm, it was 2020, when he also dropped a rap diss track saying he will shoot Bernie Sanders with his gun.

Elon Musk's ingenious Cybertruck DISRUPTS the the ChoMo vehicle space and breaks the monopoly held by windowless vans.

What is up with disgusting racist British freaks having fucked up affairs all the time? Oswald Moseley fucked his wife's sisters and stepmom, Katie Hopkins fucked some married dude in the daytime on a public field, and Boris Johnson is fucking a lady who seems too stupid to consent.

"Stop the genocide" is code for white genocide

You are already on your way to a better life just by virtue of you having written all your existing problems out. Now flesh them out more deeply:

  1. What do you need to get that went missing along with your wallet?
  2. What do you want to say to your friend right now?
  3. What is the least amount of money you will need for a car or minivan you want?
