twitter is tempting for trolling because like all your local z-list celebrities and officials have accounts and you can be like hey dingus you're garbage and they always read it. the downside is that most media now use twitter debates as the core of their reporting so if you trolled some troops you'd probably end up on some 60 minutes episode and they'd add you to the sex offender registry because you called a marine corporal gay.

it doesn't weird me out if people have dumb opinions really. what weirds me out is that these people are paid primarily for their opinions, and often paid well, and are well respected within their industries. like a guy will be like oh i'm senior fellow at the bullshit institute where i focus on russia. i've got an article in the new york times this week. the article is "a bear in the land of tigers: will putin annex india next?" i get paid $120K a year.

my favorite recent example was evilweasel saying international law doesn't exist. not that it's really just a veneer to legitimize the actions of the great powers, or that it's not really law because it lacks an enforcement mechanism. i get that argument. i mean he said that international law literally does not exist. it has no written-down laws, no courts, no statements of policies and procedures. this man is a professional lawyer in DC who has read a politics forum for 12 years

i was reading about this #cancelcolbert thing where a bunch of twitter activists want colbert report cancelled because his satirical in-character twitter account made an asian joke where he said ching chong whatever. i wonder if these people even know you can't be racist against white poeple.

Michelle Malkin jumped on this bandwagon to mock and cynically exploit the backfiring liberal idiocy of twitter sjws and now the Huffington Post is framing this as "mean ol' Conservatives want to #CancelColbert". lol pure id eology

here's a good tweet:

You think that Colbert's satire is OK? Um, no. It's disgusting & devalues the lives of Asian & trans folks. #cancelcolbert

was trying to figure out how a fake character satirizing racism by saying anti-chinese stuff was offending trans folk, maybe it's because he said ding dong?
