It must be humiliating to see conservatives pushing a conservative agenda and have no response to it except "no you".

Have you even thought this through logically, or do you just bleat what you're told to?

If support having police search schools to ensure gender identity is suitably suppressed, you should be proudly taking credit for it as a conservative.

If you don't support it, conservatives have made it clear that this is their agenda and if you don't support it, you're no longer welcome among conservatives.

So what's it going to be? Are you going to openly support current Republican policies, pretend you do, pretend you don't, switch to the party you've been trying to throw your shit at or just not vote?

Is this really the corner you want to back yourself into for shit-tier jabs like "Must be a Democrat"?

It doesn't seep in, it's cultivated by far-right groups that intentionally target children and openly groom them for extremism.

I haven't even gotten to ask what anti-drone measures they have.

The answer will be "none" because unless they're ex-military, their entire contribution to any militia is usually "gun".

Most of them wouldn't pass fitness requirements nor take orders. Few of them have other skills such as first aid, communication tech or drone piloting.

Even when contributing their gun, you can't assume they know how to safely and usefully handle a weapon, or that they're mentally fit for combat, because none of that is a requirement for buying a gun.

It's a hero fantasy they've literally never thought critically about, but it's supposed to make all the mass shootings worth it.

Unfortunately, that's not how greed works. They'll never say "no thanks, we've made enough profit from Ukraine".

Because it turns turns billions in public funds into billions in private profits.

The fact that those profits come at the expense of children's lives doesn't worry the oil and gas industries, so why would it worry weapons manufacturers?

So your objection is that they call a mass shooting a mass shooting? What magic number would you like them to use?

So both sides of the comic are complete works of fiction

Stupid it is then.

This has to be the shittest attempt to stay "mask on" in the history of this community right?

I don't think anyone capable of typing could also be so deeply, obliviously stupid that they thought people would read the post, then read...

Nah, im a very nice person in real life, vut the anger has to go somewhere...

... and take it mean anything other than "people in my life also don't know I'm racist dogshit but rather than grow as people, we should keep being racist dogshit on the internet"

The far-right is obviously aware, but they've learned the importance of dodging labels.

Not too long ago, neo-nazis called themselves neo-nazis and consequently had almost no access to popular communication platforms. After all, the moment someone admits to being a Nazi, you know their political views are dogshit and their solutions immoral and ineffective.

Then, they announced they were now "the alt-right" and everything suddenly changed. Not their opinions, pundits and idols of course, but their access to communication.

That tiny bit of plausible deniability bought them space on platforms they had only dreamed of. They were allowed to build themselves little communities full of abusive scum on major social media sites. Some of them were even on television! It's the furthest they'd ever been able to push their views before they were spat on.

By the time "Unite the Right" rolled around, they were feeling untouchable. They whipped off their masks, triumphantly declared "Ha! We were nazis all along!" and started marching around with tiki torches, chanting antisemetic catch phrases and waving Nazi flags. They even got to do a bit of domestic terrorism against innocent people.

But the fallout was huge. The platforms that had been coddling them and claiming "it's important to hear all viewpoints" suddenly treated them like radioactive cups of asparagus piss.

The rebranding they'd worked so hard on was ruined. Everyone knew they were neo-nazis again, only discernible from the original National Socialists by the word "SJWs" scrawled in crayon at the bottom of their list of undesirables.

But they learned from that mistake. They learned to stay mask on and never, ever "reveal their powerlevel", even as they wrote Mein Kamph fan fiction and attacked anyone who wasn't straight, white and stupid.

Labels were to be avoided at all costs. If anyone asked, they were simply "conservatives", perhaps even "centrists". It was the social media equivalent of the Proud Boys in their khaki pants and white balaclavas, still fuming over the jobs, friends and family they lost when they went out without them.

Because without labels, they couldn't be criticised. They'd used 1984 not as a warning, but as an inspiration. They had to control the language. The "alt-right" was not only dead, it had never existed at all.

And if people reverted to simply calling them "nazis" again, they had a catch phrase to use as a shield, parroted by scumbags and useful idiots alike.

"The left just call anyone who disagrees with them a Nazi".

Steam got to where it is by good will, good prices and good features.

Well, eventually.

When Steam was first released, the running joke was "steaming pile of shit". It was slow, unreliable and only a couple of shades of green away from the worst color in the world. People complained about the birth of "always online" games and about paying full price but not even getting a box with it.

It's not exactly unassailable now either. It's my platform of choice as a user but for indie developers, the 30% cut is brutal and last I used it, the Steamworks SDK was pretty rough. The app itself also has a lot of legacy bloat like a built in MP3 player.

It's ahead of the rest but I think "good will, good prices and good features" might be an overly romantic take on "it's where all my games already are".

It's just something a racist made up to push "black people are stupid so we should be able to keep them as slaves and genocide them".

You don't need to dig any deeper for answers. The hole has already been dug and what a surprise, there a racist cesspit at the bottom.
