Soy vs. Soy: Max Boot and His Leftwing and Neocon Allies Declare War on a Newly-Discovered White Supremacist Organization: <i>The National Review</i>

Soy vs. Soy: Max Boot and His Leftwing and Neocon Allies Declare War on a Newly-Discovered White Supremacist Organization: The National Review

How many times have we told them that you cannot join in the whitchunts for fringe, minor actors like Laura Loomer because the left doesn't care about Laura Loomer?

Laura Loomer is just proof of concept -- they want to prove the model of deplatforming people on the right.

You think they've developed this deplatforming machinery to take Laura Loomer out?

No, they developed it to take Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager out. Laura Loomer was just the test-run.

This continues to elude the Smartest of the Smarty-Pants Smart Set despite Little Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager being added to the "White Supremacist" watch-list on Google shortly after the deplatforming trains started running.

So, Rich Lowry declared that we must now deploy every available resource and tactic to "crush" white supremacy.

BTW, even the SPLC estimates there are only 5,000-8,000 members of the KKK, the premier, brand-name white supremacist organization in a country of one third of a billion people.

As Derek Hunter said in his book Outrage, Inc. and his great podcast: The total membership in the nation's top-tier white supremacist group is about the average crowd for a WNBA game.

This is the Growing Threat we must militarize the government to destroy?

Hey Beta Soyboy Cucks: You're being played again. As fucking usual.

They don't want to arrest Joe Skinhead.

They want to arrest you.

When you publish an article that calls for a war on white supremacy, and the use of any tool to combat the imaginary threat, don’t be surprised when you become the hunted: https://t.co/Agl3yNYpH2

How much clearer can they make it? They're not even hiding it. If they were more subtle about it, they'd wait until they'd eradicated the low-hanging fruit of white supremacy before they turned their guns on the real targets here, non-white-supremacists the leftwing Maoists believe should no longer be permitted the rights of citizenship.

But they're not waiting. They're going straight for the real target without even bothering to trifle with the fake targets.

And yet the Smartest of the Smarty-Pants Smart Set continues to employ the same "Eat Me Last, Fair-Minded Crocodile" strategy that has failed every time they've tried it.

The socialists keep trying socialism, no matter how many times it fails, and the Soyboy Beta Cucks continue trying to feed the leftwing crocodiles other bodies besides their own in the hope that one day, those crocodiles will finally stop being hungry.

That preamble out of the way, here is what's going on:

Max Boot, Fake Conservative at the Washington Post, wrote an article that white people should accept that they have privilege and then Check That Privilege.

Someone at National Review was actually permitted by Rich Lowry to dispute that, despite Rich Lowry's commitment to use every weapon at hand to fight the non-growing threat of White Supremacy.

A responsible journalist would propose a realistic alternative for conservative whites who don’t want to cede their basic political premises but who nevertheless reject white nationalism. But Boot instead goes on a meandering tirade with scant a coherent point. Sometimes he rails against white people as such; his claims range from the tautological (“White people can be pretty clueless”) to the plainly calumnious (“ . . . the sense of outrage that white people feel when they fear losing their privileged position to people of color”). At other times, he aims his fire more narrowly on the “many” Trump supporters who assume “that white supremacy is the natural order of things.”
Like most white authors in this genre, Boot’s self-hatred is boutique and performative. His ire is directed more at White People in the abstract than with white people as such. Boot (who, it must be said, is whiter than almost anyone on the Washington Post masthead) must, for his piece’s title to make any sense, be in possession of the “grip” he’d like his fellow whites to “get.” I’m not quite sure he is.
The great shame of this piece is not that Boot had the audacity to instruct an entire racial group to “get a grip.” It is not even his almost libelous comparison of post-apartheid South Africa with the United States in 2019. It is the irresponsibility of speaking in such totalizing racial language in a time that, as he himself concedes, is “dangerous.” Max Boot can claim all he wants that President Trump is stoking the flames of race hatred, but if he really believes that, he ought to stop fanning them himself.

The reaction was entirely predictable, though the Smartest of the Smarty-Pants Smart Set once again failed to anticipate it.

Not anticipating very obvious next-steps proves how smart you are.

The obvious next step here -- which we've seen hundreds of times in the past, so I don't know why this Brain Trust didn't see it coming -- is to accuse anyone criticizing the extremist totalitarian War on White Supremacy of being a White Supremacist himself.

.@MaxBoot: "With its long-standing opposition to immigration...National Review has found common ground with the far right. Like many conservative media outlets, it has flirted with the “great replacement” theory espoused by the El Paso gunman." https://t.co/tmnJnPv8Oz
— Evan McMullin (@EvanMcMullin) August 14, 2019

Max Boot: conservatives who don't agree with me are white supremacists.

NRO: White supremacists are evil, but Max should be more careful with his language.

MB: NRO is run by white supremacists.

NRO: Wait, what?

— James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) August 14, 2019

I mean... Really? You didn't know this was coming, National Review?

Why should anyone continue seeking your, ahem, wisdom?

Max Boot then decided to really explore the studio space and accuse Soyboy Beta Cuck Dan McLaughlin of also being a white supremacist.

This shocked and surprised Rich Lowry. Because smart people are always shocked and surprised that inevitable things which have always happened in the past continue happening in the present.

Now @maxboot is portraying this analysis by @baseballcrank as some sort of white nationalist screed—how completely dishonest and thoroughly pathetic

— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) August 14, 2019

Dan McLaughlin, who wants you to know he's super-duper smart and that you should let him do your thinking for you, was then surprised that a leftwinger began calling him the inspiration for the El Paso shooter (really!):

Oh, lol, you're right, my apologies. You wrote the El Paso terrorist's manifesto before he did. Any thoughts now that you've seen your philosophy in action?

Also I clearly know a hell of a lot more than you about political history, so I'm not sure what you're on about.
— Jonathan M. Katz✍🏻 (@KatzOnEarth) August 14, 2019

My view is that when a terrorist uses the exact same shitty analysis as you to justify mass murder, you should take about twenty steps back and consider whether you have perhaps made some wrong turns.
— Jonathan M. Katz✍🏻 (@KatzOnEarth) August 14, 2019

Good lord, you're like a human 8chan board.

First of all, I think it's absolutely wild that your crew doesn't understand the difference between someone futilely attacking people running a concentration camps and someone actually committing ethnic cleansing inside a Walmart.
— Jonathan M. Katz✍🏻 (@KatzOnEarth) August 14, 2019

Second, the dire problem you're trying to whatabout is that you are part of a wave of white supremacist terror with deep roots in American history. The El Paso shooter wasn't just loosely affiliated with your political project. He was the leading edge of it.
— Jonathan M. Katz✍🏻 (@KatzOnEarth) August 14, 2019

I would ask, "Do you guys fucking even begin to get the game now?," but it's a stupid question.

Do they finally understand that what the left seeks from them is the cover of (weak) right-wing buy-in for their business model of Accuse, Isolate, Deplatform, then Destroy?

That they just want the right to keep endorsing this model over and over again until it becomes a normal mainstream feature of American public life? That we stop objecting to it all, and just begin shrugging, "Well, that's how it is now"?

Do they understand that once the weak soy right has given this attack model the "bipartisan" cover it needs to be accepted as an Eternal Sacred Pillar of Our Republic, it will be used immediately against its "rightwing" champions as well?

Do these stupid fuckers understood what the Jacobins did to each and every faction that joined them in their descent into blood and fury?

There is no wisdom in the second kick of the mule, nor the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth, the tenth. Any of the hundred succeeding kicks, actually.

"The Expert" Tom Nichols of course came in to accuse National Review of cryptofascism:

For years, intellectual conservatives thought: "Look, we're smart, we're conservative, the liberals are just wrong." (Hell, I still feel that way most days.) But the intellectual cons who have surrendered to Trumpist populism are screwed and know it. /2
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 13, 2019

Sure, they figured they could tough it out, get their judges, and then disavow Trump when he self-destructed. They partied with the rubes in hopes no one would notice the college degrees and the cufflinks. But Trump ate the movement before they could bail out. /4
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 13, 2019

By the time this is over, all that'll be left is Gorka, Anton, and the last few editors of NR at CPAC trying to clap along gamely while someone explains how Q is going to swoop in and arrest the abortion-loving gays during their attempts to make stem cells into omelettes. /6x
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 13, 2019

Oh, and he attacked those Silly Christians and Stupid Pro-Lifers there at the end, too. What an unexpected little fillip.

Meanwhile, the Neocons (themselves liberal) and their openly-leftwing allies continue to insist, as Jonathan V. Last did, that Hillary Clinton was such a terrifically moderate and sensible and patriotic candidate the right should have been enthusiastic about voting for her:

Anton called 2016 the "Flight 93 Election"-- electing Trump might mean crashing the plane, but even that was better than certain catastrophe under Clinton.

It was unhinged but at least on its own terms it seemed like a one-time argument.

Not any more.https://t.co/5T5MoDAR34
— Jacob T. Levy (@jtlevy) August 13, 2019

That guy's at the Nikasen Center, which is pretty much just a welfare office for Neocons and NeverTrumpers (but I repeat myself).

Please do not start any conspiracy theories about NeverTrumpers being not-so-stealth liberals. I mean, don't notice that they also made the same argument about Merrrick Garland -- that Obama's last Supreme Court nominee, the man he chose to replace conservative legend Antonin Scalia, was such a moderate, sensible, and patriotic American that the right shamed itself by not leaping at the chance to confirm him.

Oh, this isn't strongly related, but it involves Max Boot.

Like the #SalonHot25 True Conservative AllahPundit, Max Boot is very, very angry about the abuse that the "one of the most respected journalists," Fredo Cuomo (!!!), is taking:

Appalling attack by the president on one of America’s most respected journalists—a fearless (and eminently sane) truth teller I am proud to work with at @cnn. We cannot accept as normal these kinds of attacks on the free press. https://t.co/7KsrrsKKUC
— Max Boot (@MaxBoot) August 13, 2019

Luke Thompson notes:

Ever wondered why politics reduces to personal grievance for so many media elites? It’s because they’re fundamentally untalented goons fighting for paychecks they can’t actually justify except as matters of institutional inertia.
— Luke Thompson (@ltthompso) August 13, 2019

Max was a dumb guy and a bad writer when he was on Team GOP. He’s a dumb guy and a bad writer now that he’s on Team CNN/WaPo. Nothing has changed except the uniform. He’s Jeff Francoeur, but for writing awful takes.

I think they believe that they believe it. But they're capable of believing contrary things in short order without acknowledging the contradiction.

And on that: NeverTrump "Republican" Ana Navarro praises Fredo Cuomo for his easy resort to violent threats:

Unsolicited Advice: If you’re gonna hurl an insult at someone, target a person whose bicep measurement is not more than your IQ.

Max: LOL u mad bro?

Sad to see open trolling as the editorial standard of @washingtonpost:https://t.co/7h7wAUyzWG
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) August 14, 2019

Do you think now that Baseball Cuck has noticed that the left's/NeverTrumper's attacks on him are made in bad faith he will extend that same understanding to those similarly accused by this claque?

No, of course not.

Like Obama, he's just too smart and too fundamentally good for the common people (racist deplorables) to see him as smart and fundamentally good.

He's too smart to make obvious connections, and he's too brave to exhibit any courage, and he's too virtuous to dispute slander directed at someone else.

I'd literally die of shock if any of these mewling cowards every stood up against the left's degredation and deplatforming efforts who wasn't part of their own squalid club.

It goes too far to accuse this crew of being Nazis.

But I think it's fair to analogize them to Kapos.

They're the prisoners of the same vicious totalitarians that we are -- but they... do favors for those vicious totalitarians and punish the people the totalitarians want punished.

They help the Nazis, they support the Nazis' attacks, and they get special privileges in exchange for their help.

Until, at least, the Nazis decide that the Kapos need some correcting as well.

Metaphor?

60 I added this:

I would ask, "Do you guys fucking even begin to get the game now?," but it's a stupid question.

Do they finally understand that what the left seeks from them is the cover of (weak) right-wing buy-in for their business model of Accuse, Isolate, Deplatform, then Destory?

That they just want the right to keep endorsing this model over and over again until it becomes a normal mainstream feature of American public life? That we stop objecting to it all, and just begin shrugging, "Well, that's how it is now"?

Do they understand that once the weak soy right has given this attack model the "bipartisan" cover it needs to be accepted as an Eternal Sacred Pillar of Our Republic, it will be used immediately against its "rightwing" champions as well?

Do these stupid fuckers understood what the Jacobins did to each and every faction that joined them in their descent into blood and fury?

S'fine.

Be it in philosophy, theology (and those being inextricably intertwined), economics, or just interpersonal disputes and/or land wars, the biggest problem with human communication is uncertainty of the other's intent.

It is very rare indeed to find an honest person. It is even more rare to find an honest person who will explain a matter to you without coloring it with their perspective, consciously or not. We can't understand each other because we don't trust each other, and rightly so.

The Soyboiz and their War of Cuckery do us all a service by removing a small amount of uncertainty in the fog of war that is the daily American life, and I, for one, am grateful for the clarity they unwittingly provide.

103 Meanwhile, Angelo Codvilla gets what's really going on with the "white supremacy" talk. About the only adult in the room for our allegedly conservative thinkers-writers:

The Wall Street Journal on Saturday featured an essay by one Clint Watts, formerly of the FBI and West Point's Counter Terrorism Center. Watts makes those proposals using the word "white" 16 times in 18 paragraphs. The sociopolitical ideas rife among white people are the main matrix of terrorism in America, Watts contends. Racial profiling, anyone?*

Bemoaning the fact that U.S. law now restricts surveillance of, never mind restrictions on, U.S. persons to those who have committed or may be about to commit crimes, Watts proposes legislation that would permit designating persons associated with what the government may identify as "white supremacist ideology" as subject to surveillance to "preemptively assess whether these white supremacists are taking a radical turn toward violence."

Watts also proposes red flag laws, that would allow the government to take away weapons from someone so designated. Loss of weapons would be the least of burdens imposed on anyone so red-flagged. Career, reputation, possibly family, would be gone because someone in the notoriously impartial FBI so decided, perhaps with the agreement of the highly scrupulous FISA court, subsequent to ex parte, secret proceedings.

All these cucks will be red-flagged long before they figure out they totally should have seen this coming.

Every presidential candidate has a bowl in which corn kernels can be placed by voters to show who they support. ( I believe this was at the Iowa State Fair) Eric said , for example, out of the 30,000 kernals that were placed, three were in DeBlasio's bowl. He said what was frustrating was that the MSM was only showing the Democrat bowls, his dad's bowl was ignored. He said it was overflowing, LOL.

Anna Navarro getting wet over Fredo McRoidrage. LOL Does she know it makes her look........hopeless. I see she add the hypehn Millionaire Husband name to her name. Wonder how he feels about her getting all gooey for the adult teenager driving a camaro. Like that scene in Saturday night Fever where that Donna character corners Barbarino in the car and says "Hey Barbarino lets Make It. I brought protection" (waves a handful of rubbers in his face) And Barbarino McRoidrage says "Nah". Pathetic.

158 1) I still haven't seen an actual "white supremacist" policy or statement from Trump. I've heard citations of dog whistles and arguments made in obvious bad faith. I've seen the same BS I've seen towards conservatives since I realized I sided with them more than the alternative, over 30 years ago.

2) The replacement theory isn't some KKK fantasy. It's an openly stated goal of the left. We also have British Labour party documents that SPECIFICALLY STATE THE PURPOSE OF OPEN BORDERS IS TO MAKE ENGLAND LESS BRITISH. Does anyone doubt Ted "Swimmer" Kennedy had the same goal for the US?

Every day I am thankful for Trump and those that are finally fighting back against what we have been up against for years, decades.

We finally start fighting back, and the screech level is off the charts. The big ego lefties are losing it BECAUSE we are fighting back. The tactics are turned on them, finally. The mocking has turned on them, finally. The news is showing the truth and finding the left to be liars and deceiving. They are shrieking to the holy heavens and calling us every name imaginable, names they KNOW are not true. We are not H or N's, or R's.

There is no doubt in my mind that people like Goldberg and Hayes, or whoever is considered the fake right nowadays is whispering to their leftie friends with quiet nods of "I understand where you're coming from," but the left will still look at them as "the other." They just don't know it yet, as Ace describes. If you're not all in, you're out.

This is absolutely being pushed to tar any minority support of Trump as "racist." "White supremacist" is to "racist" and Climate Change is to Global Warming.

Its a "new" term used for the same sorry propaganda purposes after the old term loses its edge.

Listening to regular black folks, the message is getting lost in the noise. Trump just helped get a black rapper freed from jail, and is freeing lots of non-violent felons because of black-popular "entertainers" (using that term loosely and figuratively). They see he's not a klansman.

Most black folks' experience with outright racists has inured them to charges claiming people who are just non-PC are vile bigots. The fact that the Left is swinging for the fences so early suggests the polling shows significant minority support for Trump.

232 from the JackStraw link earlier : "As will be shown in the final installment of this report, Epstein is only the latest incarnation of a much older, more extensive and sophisticated operation that offers a frightening window into how deeply tied the U.S. government is to the modern-day equivalents of organized crime, making it a racket truly too big to fail."

imo this also links to why HSBC got off with a fine when caught laundering $2B in cartel money (and I heard Deutsche Bank was much worse). I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, but we're not over the rainbow either.

Not that I am obsessive in keeping up with politics.. But had no idea who that ugly bastard is until he went Never Trump and now he is all over the place.

And he is a fucking ugly fucker. A face for radio and a voice for writing.

As for his writings, well, I think someone owed Max's dad a favor and Max somehow managed to get blackmail material and kept the job.

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".

The same reason why fight so hard against American exceptionalism and demand we embrace "multiculturalism."

Only when you realize that American political culture is the singular achievement in the course of human liberty: that could only have been created by inspired people, and that requires constant tending by a virtuous and involved citizenry, can you appreciate how "multiculturalism" can only, by the basic operation of entropy, lead to its disintegration and the loss of something that would never likely be replaced.

He was never a "conservative writer". His main gig was writing about military affairs, and small wars during the Bush neocon era. In fact, on this narrow issue, he was fairly well-regarded. I own one of his books from that time, but I never bothered to crack it open, so I don't know if that rep is justified or not.

He shifted over to domestic politics when the Iraq War wound down. So in other words, he's another fucking grifter who will say anything for a paycheck.

hope so. Deutsche is going down, and there was fear that would start TheCollapse. But I hear Germany decided to take on their huge derivative exposure, basically laying it on the people (as I think we kinda did when TARP was thrust on us by baldy and the rest) ...

Their derivative exposure is something like $45T or some absurd number ... but overall derivative market is like a quadrillion ... still unregulated I guess, but now backed up by the public as I understand it ... too big to fail/jail. Some of that is "counter party risk" or something, but when the 500 year flood comes we all lose our assets, I guess, cuz they socialized the risks even in derivatives, and privatized the profits.

still reading up on google

After having been identified by an anonymous account (which Vorhies believes belongs to a Google employee,) on social media as a "leaker," Vorhies was approached by law enforcement at his residence in California. According to Vorhies, San Francisco police received a call from Google which prompted a "wellness check."

Vorhies described the incident to Project Veritas:

"they got inside the gate, the police, and they started banging on my door... And so the police decided that they were going to call in additional forces. They called in the FBI, they called in the SWAT team. And they called in a bomb squad."

"[T]his is a large way in which [Google tries to] intimidate their employees that go rogue on the company..."

sounds familiar

how does Google get away with fraudulent calls to the police /r

and then the fib and swat get involved

costly
google should be paying for these fraudulent calls

I thought it was saying "these people who are trying to take away your freedoms 'for your own good' have the same goals as the ones who overthrew governments violently, and many times, the violent ones said the same things."

So maybe I"m giving Jonah too much credit, but it didn't sound like he was saying "Hillary doesn't realize she's being fascist" it was more like "fascists always sound like this."

He seems to have been disappeared by the Murdoch cucklings when he pointed out the obvious, which was "white nationalism" is a fraud used to promote hysteria and foment hste. While he hasn't gone all the way there yet, Carlson eventually will point out the equally obvious Great Replacement is ongoing. Whether he mentions there is a white genocide underway remains to be seen, but even going Full Monty on the earlier inconvenient fact will cause him to be shitcanned and will mark the beginning of the end of Fox. It's like knowing a train is coming and running towards it, but the cucklings can't help themselves.

508 486 TJM - I mean Jack *is* a violent alcoholic who is losing his mind due to stress, but he also genuinely seems to love Danny early in the movie. I'm not sure if he begins to see his family as a burden, and even a threat, until he hears Delbert Grady's rather extreme views on child rearing.

It amazes me how blind these people can be.

They can claim they want power in order to help you, but if you give it to them, that's the end of it. Once someone has absolute power, the reason why it was given no longer matters. They don't have to follow through on their promises, because none can hold them accountable.

538 And Alien is explicitly sexual and about rape. It's about invasion of the body for foreign entities. You can get that without listening to crazy Dan O Bannon.

Almost no one who watches Alien sees this, which tells against this interpretation. Virtually no one watched that film and then said, "Ah, the horror of rape." The xenomorph is a parasite. There are creatures in nature that will use others this way. What's really going on here is that there is a species of writer that is deeply ashamed of sci-fi and has an inferiority complex and cannot bear to admit that they are writing about little green men. This isn't to say that sci-fi is never deeper, but Alien and Aliens aren't. "Alien is about rape" is basically a Dan O'Bannon marketing/reputational strategy.

They argue about whether Danny needs to be taken away from the hotel to a doctor - when Jack storms off, that's when he's spirited off to the ball from the picture at the end of the movie, and that's the first time he encounters Grady, who solidifies the idea that Danny is a threat who needs..."correcting."

I'm not too well versed on Dan O'Bannon, so can't talk to that.

But there is a very clear sexual element in Alien. Looking at H.R. Geiger's work, it's even more blatant. The Alien doesn't just eat you, it penetrates you. That scene with the screaming chick, as the hooked tail rises, erect, between her legs...

You don't need to be Freud to figure this out.

Is that ALL that Alien is about? No. But the sexual/rape/pregnancy/childbirth horror element is there.

Generally speaking...

White Nationalism == a belief that whites are entitled to a nation of their own to practice their unique (classical Euro-centric) culture apart from the influence of other cultures - that any are welcome but they must adapt and not demand the culture adapt to them

White Supremacy == a belief that whites (Euro descended) are genetically superior to other races

They are not, at all, the same thing.

Will it be the return of country club Republicans supported by the soy cucks running on a platform of "returning the country to comity, that is, selling out to the swamp and every foreign nation like the Chinese? Or will it be someone who stands on the principles that Trump finally stood on but does so on their own terms and own way?

That's the real question. What succeeds this, because if it's the current Vichy Republicans or the Democrats it won't make a difference. It will be the end of a constitutional republic.

579 That picture of Bill Clinton is a hoot, to me shows how much contempt Epstein had for Bill. There has been a lot but haven't heard much of it on morning talk radio Epstein was a blackmail swindler and didn't have much going legally to make millions.

581 And to think I was blissfully unaware of this cuck fight until I read this post. I MUST be one of the unwashed, toothless, bib overall wearing deplorables.

585 Here's another glorious chapter in Soy Wars: The Cuckold Strikes Back. Tom Nichols vs Jay Caruso. The amazing, stunning, and altogether cock-busting thing about this Twitter interchange is that Nichols is holding the winning hand.

See Caruso is arguing that binary choices in a two-party political system are totes not binary. While Nichols is implicitly calling him a retard for holding such a position. It's beautiful.

I was about to say that they're going back to eating with their fingers like primitive people, but Stone Age people had stone knives.

587 Max Boot will make a fine prison guard in the coming media gulag. Weak, scared, credulous, ready at a moment's notice to administer blowjobs if it means getting to slither through one more day on the outside, and easy to monitor because of his simple-minded predictability, the constant stench of fear, and the slug trails he leaves in his wake.

Yo Max, what'll we get for ten dollars?

Everything?

Why is anyone paying the slightest attention to these mewling quims who possess huge senses of their own self-importance?

591 Good write up Ace. Don't know how you can process so much twitter without turning into a fag yourself.

Be careful out there

592 How do you people even read this shit. I would put a gun to my head if I had to write about these fucking idiots on a daily basis. They are full blown idiots. They are only trying to one-up everyone they come into contact with by trolling others. I would ignore them. People like Max Boot are not worth anyone's time. Ugh. This is what we have become as a nation.
