The 2023 Fundie of the Year awards

Religious fundie of the year: Brian Niemeier

The all-desiring shill also believes in bigfoot

Wingnut of the year: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

This is a tough standard. There’s so many. But between getting fact checked by The Southern Poverty Law Center and heckled by Gab for not being evil enough is just the chef’s kiss of trying to run in the Party of Stupid.

Moonbat of the year: motherLover

“the people shouting gas the Jews may not actually be anti-Semites”

https://fstdt.com/VVV6BM_P4_K89

Conspiracy theorist of the year: Tuckler Carlson

I might also give him the “I won’t let a ‘danger, cave in’ sign tell me what to do!” award. Nicotine? I’ve seen a few people kill themselves with cigarettes; nicotine is not mind-expanding.

Ableist of the year: Feynman and Coulter's Love Child

Blatant uncaring attitude. I hope he gets run over by a car and confined to a wheelchair.

Racist of the year: Nick Fuentes

He just insulted Black people and Chinese people. Of course he gets nominated!

Sexist of the year: Abby Libby

Nobody really deserves this, but she kinda does?

https://fstdt.com/V7N_BJLJLV.K5

Grifter of the year: Joe Salant

Marketing bleach tablets as an autism cure.

Chicken little award: INTHELORDSNAME predicts the End Times

INTHELORDSNAME from GLP insisted, several times, that Pope Francis and Barack Obama would be systematically beheading Christians no later than March 2023, and tossed into the lake of fire in September.

Want to know how I know that jews DO rule the world?...

I bet I’d lose my job if I insisted at work that drinking bleach would cure cancer in front of a customer. That might mean that it works and is being repressed, but it also might mean that it’s false but dangerous.

Why do you even bother bringing up The Iliad if you’re just going call everything that ever happened that’s convenient to your narrative a false flag? If they can maintain a secret shadow government from the 1890’s to today, then how the fuck can you be so confident that ancient Greece existed at all and wasn’t a made-up myth designed as controlled opposition? You should not be listening to anything you read in the libraries or learn in school at all!

Stupid, cherry-picking conspiracy theorists citing about 80% of what they learned in history class uncritically and simultaneously believing that a group that totally could have erased history almost entirely in the time given has, for some reason, not done so?

You don’t seem to like Eunuchs very much? Ancient Sumer had them before the Jews existed.

Too bad the Jew invented time travel. You’re going to have to descend to their level and violate the law of causality if you’re ever going to win. I know violating the law is against your delicate constitution, but this is war after all.

Except, of course, that half the point of a protest march is that it’s a signal.

Now, I realize that I need to get across that “signalling” is not just a fancy way to say “lying,” since the term has been abused quite a bit. Elk horns are a signal that says, in effect, “I am a force to be reckoned with. I’ll prove it by carrying these heavy weights around all the time and thriving anyway. In a fight, I could kick your ass, so save us both a lot of trouble and don’t push me to violence.”

Marching on a weekday is supposed to be the same thing. If you aren’t willing to burn one sick day, then you’re so irresponsible, or so sickly, that you’ve burnt all your sick leave (which your employer is required to give you in most states), which means overthrowing the government isn’t going to happen. Or maybe your principles aren’t as important to you as you let on. Or there just aren’t very many of you. The point is that, by marching on a weekday, you demonstrate that you have the resources to kick the government’s ass if you wanted to, just like that bull elk with the gigantic horns.

I added the #elitist tag for the stuff about making reproduction contingent on income and education level. If you’re going to propose castrating all the poors, sexism isn’t the only problem.

I hope I can mollify some of my critics by pointing out that I was banned from American Renaissance for expressing my high regard for East Asians and Jews.

You want the Not As Bad As You Could Have Been award? For being less bad than AmRen? That’s not worth very much.

I think it is morally wrong to dislike a member of a race simply because he or she belongs to the race. Nevertheless, I think it is legitimate to evaluate a group of people on the basis of average characteristics in the group.

You still aren’t going to get the Not As Bad As You Could Have Been Award. Stop fishing.

POLL: What to name a new tag for anti-abortion quotes

@Vgal #175260

Mostly because there’s no reason not to; we’ve not had an anti-abortion tag for a long time, so a couple months isn’t going to make much difference. I wanted to let people discuss their choices and change their mind, and I want to include people who only visit once in a while. The main limit was that there might be an anti-abortion quote of the year, so this poll has to close before FOTY nominations if we want to use that tag name for the poll.

No sympathy. I can't even say I hope he gets better. Play stupid games

Why would you ever treat someone who burns their own genitals off like an attention-whoring child who just needs to toughen up? Anyone who burns their own junk off is absolutely not suffering from insufficient toughness. Either:

1. their reasoning process is so warped that they don't respond to normal incentives (such as the pain impulse) any more,

2. their reasoning is fine, but their perception of reality is warped,

3. or burning their genitals off is actually worth it, based on sound reasoning and an accurate (though subjective) view of the world

“No sympathy, I don't even hope they get better” is not my response to any of these hypotheticals.

p.s. No, I’m not serious. I realize that the true explanation is “they’re not looking for a reasonable solution to the problem, and just want to see people they think of as evil suffering.”

Okay, I realize that I failed to mention a few things. I planned to do it right after submitting, but got pulled away by work.

Anyway:

- ICD codes aren’t technically billing codes. They’re clinical indication codes (they’re used to justify the work that gets billed, typically CPT). That’s not really an important distinction for anyone who isn’t writing HL7 for a living, but it helps give some context.

- I am not at all surprised that there’s an ICD code for guillotine beheadings. The ICD9 for asphyxiation by cave-in is E913.3, dog bites are E906.0, E885.9 is a fall caused by tripping and stumbling. They’re kinda hilariously comprehensive.

There is a tendency in our circles to blame everything on the Jews or to blame it all on the Yankees or to blame it all on liberalism. We should take a closer look though at the Northern WASP elite who triumphed in the War Between the States and who ruled the country until around the Great Depression.

That’s a noob magic trick. Sorry, you didn’t fool me.

In the first sentence, you tried to lull us into a false sense of profundity by your recognition that blaming everything on the outgroup isn’t very sophisticated, but the “Northern WASP Elite” are synonymous with the “Yankees.” You said you aren’t going to blame everything on the Yankees, and then you turned around and blamed everything on them anyway. Your second sentence uses “though,” as if it were proposing an alternative to the first sentence, but it’s not.

EBS has not happened as of yet and nothing as what was mentioned on the posting as it appears Biden is alive and still the US CORP President

If this is true then the EBS should come immediately after it and thus the USA Republic elections should be on Tues. 7 November, 2023.

Well, that’s an annoying shibboleth, based on quote-mined legalese.

You know where coolness and radness comes from? Lack of fear in the face of danger. If you’re wondering why it’s cool, look for the source of the danger.

I do not trust the court system with this kind of power. It’s the same problem as the death penalty (though not quite as bad); it can’t be made good on if it turns out to be a false conviction.

Anti-vaccine in 1996?

That’s not a prediction. Those were already popular conspiracy theories at the time. The infamous vaccine/autism paper was published in 1998 — a fraudulent study that played to already widespread fear. MK Ultra was revealed by a FOIA in 1977, revealing an actual medical conspiracy and therefore lending legitimacy to anybody else’s fears about being illegally experimented upon. 1996 was also in the middle of the Satanic Panic.

Prince didn’t need any privileged information. He just wrote a song about stuff that was already popular at the time.

Interesting point that nobody brings up in the Gab thread — of course — is that this exception was from 2020 and doesn’t exist any more.

✅0 women have died

That’s too vague to actually prove one way or another. Deaths in childbirth aren’t zero even when abortion is legal, and they aren’t now.

Obviously you mean something else, but what? Change in how many deaths before/after the court ruling? Deaths after being specifically denied an abortion? Deaths in States with blanket bans vs States without?

Be more specific, please.

That’s true, but the funnier part is the number of “anarcho”-capitalists who, especially in the early days, stumped Bitcoin. They knew, and were honest about, Bitcoin being a national security risk—that’s the whole point.
