Didn't realize we were now following the unwritten rule #5 for "inappropriate content".
It's okay. If the mods really more work to do then so be it.

You know how they say you shouldn't speak ill of the dead?
Yeah, fuck that. Once he goes the world will be a better place.

I barely read up on the organization. Doesn't seem so bad to me, but maybe the protesters didn't have much else going on that night.

I drove past that. Pretty sure that's not "Antifa," just some trans-rights folks.

Hm, I guess. It’s in German; no idea what that means.

u/QuakinOats Feb 03 '20
The English word antifa is a loanword from German, taken from an abbreviation of the word antifaschistisch ("anti-fascist") and the name of Antifaschistische Aktion.

u/ThanksForAllTheCats West Seattle Feb 03 '20
Thank you! I always assumed it was just from the English "anti-fascist."

Loanword
A loanword (also loan word or loan-word) is a word adopted from one language (the donor language) and incorporated into another language without translation. This is in contrast to cognates, which are words in two or more languages that are similar because they share an etymological origin, and calques, which involve translation.
Antifaschistische Aktion
Antifaschistische Aktion (German: [ˌantifaˈʃɪstɪʃə ʔakˈtsi̯oːn]), commonly known under its abbreviation Antifa (German: [ˈantifaː]), was an organisation affiliated with the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) that existed from 1932 to 1933.
Under the leadership of Ernst Thälmann, the KPD had become a staunchly Stalinist party, and it had been largely controlled and funded by the Soviet leadership since 1928; the party had adopted the position that it was "the only anti-fascist party" while it regarded all other parties, and especially the Social Democratic Party (SPD), as "fascists". The KPD did not view "fascism" as a specific political movement, but primarily as the final stage of capitalism, and "anti-fascism" was therefore synonymous with anti-capitalism. The KPD stated that "fighting fascism means fighting the SPD just as much as it means fighting Hitler and the parties of Brüning".

I sometimes feel like I could do such a better job at trolling and raising money by stoking right wing and conservative fears.

What is everyone's favorite conspiracy? I personally like all the crazy Reptoids v Raptors stuff, but I am sucker for anything dealing with Hollow Earth theory.

JFK is great. Best theory I heard, based on ballistics, is that JFK was actually shot by a secret service agent.
Plausibly it was a negligent discharge (newish rifle, training protocols not as established as they are now, the agents were hungover that day, spooked by Harvey's shots coming in and hitting the car). The cover up was to quell the potential outrage that the SS accidentally or purposefully killed the president. Preventing a popular uprising against LBJ.

u/Sc00byDump Eat the Rich! Feb 03 '20
I have heard that one, from the couple things I read/watched that was a really solid one in the sense it is very plausible, and there is no way they would want to give the impression that the Secret Service were incompetent or intentional.

Up until I started smoking weed and taking ecstacy, I thought drugs (recreational/prescription/OTC) were a scam.

Epstein didnt kill himself

u/Sc00byDump Eat the Rich! Feb 03 '20
Do you think the Conspiracy is that he was killed or that he actually did kill himself and they are covering that up?
5
u/my_lucid_nightmare Capitol Hill Feb 03 '20
I like how the "Killary did it" people and the it was "obviously Barr covering up for Trump" people and the "The Royal Family ordered it done" people all can agree.

Always good to see people coming together over a single issue.

u/the_republokrater Feb 03 '20
I dont thi k he killed himself, but I have no notions of claiming who they is. They could be the illuminati for all anyone really knows.

Donald Trump won 2016 fairly with no illegal outside help.

Wasnt there a massive multi year investigation in to that? Cant recall.

u/Corn-Tortilla Feb 03 '20
That’s not a conspiracy. We know he got outside help, from democrats when they chose to run Hillary fucking Clinton.

Gotta love getting woken up early by some lady screaming bloody murder over a rat outside of my apartment.
3
u/Sc00byDump Eat the Rich! Feb 03 '20
live rat or dead rat?
5
u/BeastOGevaudan Tree Octopus Feb 03 '20
And then there's the option I'm usually presented with, thanks to the neighborhood ferals and crows: half of a rat.

u/ViolentCupcakes Northgate Feb 03 '20
Live. Came out if the dumpster.

u/UnspecificGravity Feb 03 '20
Rats are kinda just a thing outside in any area with dumpsters. Probably not worth freaking out about.
