Burning the instruction manual for a 1986 Betamax tape player because the rewind counter read 666 one time to own the libs
Oh would you look at the time, it's the democrats have done absolutely nothing to curb rising fascism and we're going to have a republican backlash in 22/24 o'clock.
Shocking that fascism doesn't just go away because you vote for a party that doesnt do as much fascism, oh well better vote dem yet again and just hope that the republicans dont win any elections.
:geordi-no: Harry Potter and Pokemon
:geordi-yes: Killing thousands of innocent children in Iraq
burning Harry Potter for being demonic
Is it the early 2000's again?
Next they'll be destroying Pokemon red and blue cartridges
Burning Harry Potter and Twilight?
Very Critical support I guess :shrug-outta-hecks: hope they get cancer from the fumes
Doesn't the last book end with her promising her infant daughter to the werewolf guy or something?
Just looked it up, according to the wiki Jacob "imprinted" on the newborn, and will be "a brother figure to Renesmee until she comes of age, by which time she may develop romantic feelings for him" 🤮
There’s other YA fic targeted to girls that didn’t get nearly as much hate, Divergent and Hunger Games for example. I think a lot of the hate was just because of what a massive fucking cultural phenomenon it was. Seriously, I don’t think most people here remember, but it was like fucking Beatles fever but for bad YA lit. You couldn’t turn on the news and not hear something about “Twilight Craze”.
Also it is very poorly written, even for YA lit.
The author portrays her male characters as strong, powerful, sexy, in-charge guys and her female characters (other then the vampires) weak, insecure, dependent on the guys, and the stereotypical “damsels in distress.” However, Meyer claims Bella is a feminist, defining feminism as simply a woman who has the right to make her own choices. This may be true, but Meyer’s characters are a strange “combination of modern sensibility and ambience with traditional ideas about gender” (Sax). Bella's ideas about gender roles are decidedly un-feminist. Bella may make (some of) her own choices, such as sacrificing herself to save her mother (in the first book) and falling in love with a Vampire, choosing to give up everything for him. However, she is totally dependant on Edward. He is her crutch and she needs him (a man) in her life to complete her. There is a huge lack of equality between them. She represents, in my opinion, the stereotypical bare-footed, pregnant woman in the kitchen of the 1950’s and ‘60’s. The only difference is that she has spunk and isn’t pregnant until the last book.
Well yeah, which is why I get my romance kicks from fanfics.
Point stands that Twilight is still awful
My son's family loves this pastor, and they drive down to Tennessee to see him. He's literally a right wing evangelical extremist. His sermons rarely touch on anything Jesus taught, and instead spends two hours ranting about how the communist democrats are trying to murder babies and turn this country into a satanic Muslim Stalinist hellhole.
Plus he used to abuse his wife and left her for his church secretary, but he's a follower of Christ.

I'm sure he very sincerely asked himself for forgiveness in the forum of his own cranium and so it's all cool.
"There's no doubt. We (Locke and his ex-wife) both contributed to the failure of our marriage ... and so I'm gonna have to learn to be a biblical husband in the strictest sense of the word. I'm not gonna change the fact that I'm still very conservative, my values and morals. Is divorce wrong? Yeah. Does God offer forgiveness? There is only one unforgivable sin in the Bible and it's not divorce. It's the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit," he said.
When asked if he was aware of the optics of his new marriage in light of previous reports about their relationship, he replied: "I'm legally remarried and I'm legally divorced. What it looks like? ... I'm not gonna live crazy and single for the rest of my life and just live in misery because my ex-wife decided to burn my life to the ground publicly with a bunch a lies about abuse and stuff which my kids were mortified by," he said.
Ooh, or maybe not. "No I'm the real victim here" is a bold gambit for this particular situation.
The Trumpism Playbook has changed the game for these people, lmao. They can literally get away with anything, and their supporters will believe their every word.
You freaks only have like 11 explicit rules and this is breaking at least 3 of them.
You have the timeline mixed up. They killed thousands of Egyptians, then they get the 10 commandments, then they killed thousands of Canaanites
there's a difference between murder and warfare. The ten commandments are basically supposed to be rules for how you live inside of a community, except for the first three which are just about living with God in your life.
You can’t kill people if you don’t consider them people
[taps forehead]
that is not the point I was making at all and you know it. I am prepared to kill during the revolution(in minecraft), but I will not ever murder someone. murder implies you chose to kill someone based solely on your own desires, either murdering someone for revenge or out of jealousy or to steal what they had. When at war, you kill because you will be killed otherwise. Don't try to what if me on this, because it is a moral stance and I believe if you kill someone you will know why you did it, and if you really kill someone and have no idea why you did it that is worse than killing them for a bad reason.
"Read another book."
Finger on monkey's paw curls
That other book is The Bible.
I did. Although I guess I was never a chud, especially not a turbo chud like these folks.
I know I don't "have to hand to them", but I am still amazed how 4chan single-handedly socially engineered being a fascist into being free speech freedom fighters "defying authority".
bro no they didn't. The whole being an individual bucking power structures until they affect you is part and parcel of the american psyche. the revolutionary war was about a few rich guys getting more freedom while abusing the enslaved people and native peoples even harder than ever before.
Eh, it did get a lot of children into literature. It also spawned a new generation of fanfic writers who looked at the books and rightly concluded they could do better.
To balance it out, the movies got a lot of adults outof literature.
It also got Big Yud very rich when he decided to write "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" which made Harry into a techbro psychopath and billionaires started paying Big Yud for it while he established his cult.
Yeah, but teasing them about 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖆𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖐 is fun so i think it should go in the -pro collum.
The position of village idiot is grossly overpaid in that case then, at the least.
If you changed the names in the bible, these idiots would burn it. None of these idiots read it.
Clearly, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe contains depictions of witchcraft, and therefore should be added to the burn pile.
you know evangelicals hate C. S. Lewis because he was Catholic, right? they hate Tolkien for the same reason.
They froth at the mouth to defend the T*rner Diaries, and I'm pretty sure they've tried to make it required reading at least once because "muh freeze peach" but they would have a meltdown if you took that book and replaced "white" with "black", "Christian" with "Jew", "Straight" with "Gay", and "man" with "woman" and left the rest AD VERBATIM.
(For anyone who doesn't know, the T*rner Diaries is basically Harry Potter for hogs.)
This would all be hilarious if I didnt live in this country :amerikkka:
I feel like we've crossed a line from "opium of the people" to "bath salts of the people"
We have to build an alternative, better way of life using socialist principles and eventually entice their children away from this path by creating a more resilient lifestyle. So yeah, we're fucked basically.
You have to say "amen" or the prayer compiler will throw an error
I like this comment - it could be in a horror movie verbatim...
I rebuke every unclean demonic spirit of satan in the name of Jesus Christ
