I really can’t boycott “Hollywood”. because given the fact that Tinseltown can’t seem to get its heart into doing much of anything but comic book movies, and I just can not bring myself to go to a comic book movie, I mean, why bother?
So I’ve never seen any of Disney’s various Star Wars spinoff productions. The last, “first” three chapters of the Star Wars saga soured me on the whole franchise to the point where I just don’t care much. I’m told The Mandalorian is worth watching – but I honestly wouldn’t know.
So when I heard Gina Carano had been jettisoned from Mandalorian, after talk of her getting her own spinoff series was making the rounds, it took me a moment to dig and find out why it mattered.
It’s alleged by some media that she was tubed for being just a little too irascibly un-woke:
Carano was the subject of much criticism recently when, in a now-deleted Instagram post, she compared being a modern-day Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust. The hashtag #FireGinaCarano has trended on social media in recent months after other incendiary comments by the television and film star.
And what were those “incendiary comments?” Especially as to “comparing” modern GOPers to German Jews in the ’30s?
Details are very, very thin. But I’ll defer to that not-remotely right-wing outlet, Variety, for the closest we have to core facts:
“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children,” Carano wrote Instagram. “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views.” The post originated on a different Instagram account.
In other words, totalitarians turn societies against themselves?
If the Woke Mob things that’s politically incorrect, we’re gonna have a real difference of opinion in our society sooner than later.
In another post, Carano shared a photo of a person wearing multiple cloth masks with the caption, “Meanwhile in California…
If riffing on California is politically incorrect, I don’t wanna be PC.
“I can never remember. Is it ‘fool’ or ‘foole’ or some other spelling?”
I prefer using the Roman spelling…”Cunticus Maximus”
You monitoring the blog with renewed vigor to nitpick my comments
s/nitpick/point out the bizarre reasoning and factual leaps in/
and win a point after tucking tail on yesterday’s discussion is a hella debate me guy thing.
I suspect everything I do, and everything I don’t do, is a “Debate me guy” thing, because “Debate me guy” is a bit of clubby ad-hominem jargon trying to devalue a particular form of engagement.
And “losing interest” “having to be productive” and “having run out of ways to say “you’re wrong” and just don’t care that much” <> “tucking tail”.
That’s fine Mitch.
Tom and the Aryan Cowboys though… you demanded I clarify my remarks… like you had a rebuttal…
What is it?
Cuz you asked me a question, and I answered it.
“You’ve been given your assignment. Can you fulfill it?” was the phrase Mitch.
Have I? Yes will suffice or you can tell us why the inference is wrong.
Lessee…..one liberal actor/actress after another spouts off total nonsense about middle America, nothing happens. Gina Carano says something that’s arguably true–that a key part of the National Socialist “final solution” was to demonize people before sending in the secret police–and she gets fired.
Yeah, no double standard there at all. None at all. Or is the standard today that you’ll get fired for telling the truth, but not a wacked out lie?
John, you don’t actually think you’re . . . winning? Because you’re not. People walking away from you in disgust is not ‘winning.’
Mitch’s 12:49 asked: “Where did the Doctor say he was “friends with the ‘Aryan Cowboys’?” Please be specific.”
At 1:01, you responded, “Tom said he knew the friends of the Aryan Cowboy who was also investigated as Umbrella man. It’s no stretch AT ALL for one to assume the guys Tom knows that have insight into the situation are also Aryan Cowboys. Knock yourself out being a literalist pedant on language to defend Tom from being a white supremacist, Mitch… ya know, in pursuit of a debate point, no less. Your sensibilities are horsehshit.”
That response doesn’t say Where the Doctor said he was friends with the Aryan Cowboys, nor does it admit you were mistaken. That response does not suffice.
Your 1:18 said, “Tom’s actual quote: “MO, although I’ve never met him, I’m acquainted with the guy who was fingered as “Umbrella man’s” friends.”
That response does not suffice. It doesn’t say Where he said that.
At 1:29, Dr. Pete denied the quote and demanded the source. Your 1:32 was: “What about it, Tom. Do your own work.”
That response does not suffice. It doesn’t say Where, which is what Mitch asked you for.
Your 1:55 said maybe it wasn’t those cowboys, maybe it was somebody else. Your 2:23 asked to be banned so you wouldn’t have to answer. Your 5:33 acknowledges Mitch’s request but does not answer it. Your 5:46 claims to have answered it, but as we see from the analysis above, that was not true. Your 6:07 asks if you have fulfilled your assignment to which the answer, again, is plainly no, you have not.
Look, it’s not that hard. Go back through all the blog posts on all the various threads until you find the one that answers Mitch’s question. Tell us the name of the thread and the time of the post so we can look it up for ourselves to see that you’re right and Dr. Pete is wrong.
For example, I claim you once said: “Right, just as Van Hagar said. Time will tell if I pass the test of time.” If you were to deny saying that, I’d point to your 3:11 post on the thread “They’re Mad as Hell.” It’s right there, easy to find, for everyone to see.
Now you do it. Identify the comment that answers Mitch’s question to prove you are right. Or man up and admit you were wrong.
Its the 1:18 quote, I already said that, and already explained the proper inference.
Dayum…Faphammer just caint give up on his Tom and cowboys, can he JD?….His meat puppet must be raw as a beef steak by now. lol
That squirt is more degenerate than Prof. Creepy, no doubt.
I used your quote to mop the floor with your punk ass, Faphammer. You must have enjoyed that, too.
Tell us more about your friends in the white supremacist motorcycle gang Tom, and how you have the straight poop on non Umbrella man.
And now, Joe has used your pathetic tangle of lies to hog tie you. Better call a cowboy to come let you loose.
You’re getting your ass kicked, Faphammer. Carry on
oh?
[spitting out teeth] “oh?”
Bwaaaahahahahahahaahahaaaaaa! You pathetic little twat! keep coming back.
lol
Whats my lie Tom
Be sure to get back to us when he answers, twatburger.
We’ll just hang around and kick your ass some more, while we wait.
Say Faphammer? Did you notice your BFF, Reek has run for the hills? Even he can’t bear to watch the train wreck you’re making of yourself.
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature would take that as a signal….you just carry on, cowboy.
You’re probably not big and tough enough to be an outlaw biker yourself right Tom. What was the intersection of interests that made y’all buddies? The white supremacy?
You get a vest from your buddies with say 1/16th of a patch there Tom?
Did Tom steal your lunch money in high school, Faphamer? Flush your head in the toilet? Push you into the lockers? Make fun of your tits?
Show us on the cowboy doll where Tom hurt you.
tia, Faphammer!
ngl, I’m really enjoying the cyber bullying you’re getting tonight, twatboy. You’re such a fucking idiot….Please don’t stop coming back for more.
Last chance, John.
State the name of the post and the time of the comment; or
admit you were mistaken; or
I will conclude you are an unrepentant liar.
Shhhh, JD. Listen….hear it?
*Muffled Sobbing*
Faphammer is got his ass kicked last night…he’s having a nice, cleansing cry. Give him some space, and he’ll be good as new, ready for more abuse.
Besides, his bona fides as a unrepentant liar are well established and taken as a matter of fact.
IDGAF Joe. Guess what I conclude you are.
I won “the debate”. Mitch won’t touch it because he knows I’m right and that Tom is mentally unbalanced.
“That is all”, as the debate me guy says.
Oh, boy…Faphammer comes back more butthurt than ever, and still dragging his Tom baggage.
JK,
I won “the debate”. Mitch won’t touch it because he knows I’m right
TBH, I can’t even remember the “point” you’re arguing. And never mistake “you’ve bored everyone to death” with victory.
“That is all”, as the debate me guy says.
Between the little crouton of word salad that the term “Debate Me Guy” is and your chatter of the past few weeks, I got to thinking – the projection here is pretty out of this world
I mean, I’ve run a blog for nineteen years because I enjoy putting stuff out there and seeing what happens. “Debate” is the least of it. I’ve met most of the regular commenters here, even some of the ones that are at odds with the rest of the comment section (like Paddyboy – who is IRL a great guy in just about every way, btw); this blog’s been boon to my social, vocational and avocational lives in many, many ways.
So yeah, I’m just “debate me guy”. Run with that. “IDGAF”
Anyway – along comes the pseudonymous JK, who having never to my knowledge [1] met me is suddenly clogging the place with “insights” about my “motivations” – I apparently “want to be an intellectual”, and am a (word salad alert) “debate me guy”…
…says the guy who apparently comes here to argue, try to assert his own dominance by “debating” (with big glops of ad homina, straw men, projection and the rest), to apparently throw an impromptu dick-measuring contest.
And you know what they say about getting into dick-measuring contests with people who buy ink by the train-load. Yep, I’m the editor, I get to mix my metaphors.
What’s become apparent is that, whatever I am, you’re a…”debate me guy”? Given your tone and the “I really wanna be king of this hill!” vibe you put out, there’s gotta be a better term.
Masturdebate-me-guy?
We can run with that.
[1] Unless you are in fact one of my habitual stalkers – you do have a few of Ken Weiner’s and Crazy Joe’s “tells”, but I’m not feeling it yet…
I’m not staying Mitch. I promise. I am self-aware, and I’m being absurd, and I have the self control to not be… so I’m going. This jag is not a good use of anyone’s time, no good can come from it. You’ve got me until 9am central, then I’m out.
Not that in my absurdity I haven’t delivered you a true critique… You oughta contemplate your mission and your audience. You and your blog and your fans and your radio show are a trope, and not in a good way.
Yeah, you wanted to parse out a debate point on what it means for Tom to be a fiend of the Aryan Outlaws and you skulked off when I explained it meant it exactly what he said and what I said it meant. BS you forgot the details. If there were a debate point to claim, you’d be claiming it.
Bye Felicia!
Please take Tom and the cowboys with you. ty
“You’ve got me until 9am central, then I’m out.”
Just like a $20 whore….lmao
Not that in my absurdity I haven’t delivered you a true critique… You oughta contemplate your mission and your audience. You and your blog and your fans and your radio show are a trope, and not in a good way.
Gaslighting mocked, ignored, bid on its way.
Your opinion on me and what I do is worth precisely what I paid for it. Maybe less.
It’s pretty clear from his last ‘response’ that projection was the least of JK’s problems.
Speaking of ‘was’, he’s outta here.
I’m not thrilled about it – I’d love having more intelligent dissent around here.
It’s clear that “Kraephammer” had, at the very least, an agenda. And my experience tells me that when people’s agenda includes “diagnosing” their opponents and sorting them into categories known only unto them and the other members of their little frat, there’s more to it than “debate”.
“You and your blog and your fans and your radio show are a trope, and not in a good way.”
Translation: Not enough fags, trannies, wankers, tossers, pedophiles, reprobates and self-loathing white SJW’s to suit Faphammer….he gone. 😂
Mitch, when an obviously low IQ individual check in, and his first order of business is to inform everyone he possess a towering intellect, you know it’s gonna be a real winner.
Faphammer didn’t bring an argument, he brought anger and frustration. He came to insult, which is fine by me, but his insults were weak; targeted towards the low IQ crowd he usually hangs around with.
Clever insults are a joy to behold. vis: Angry Clown
The Secret King has left the building.
Clever insults are a joy to behold. vis: Angry Clown
So true.
I miss AC.
Faphammer didn’t bring an argument, he brought anger and frustration
And, worse than both, an (apparent) need to not just “win” a debate, but to pathologize the opponent.
I don’t have time for that.
“I’d love having more intelligent dissent around here.” It’s funny you say that. I thought the same thing while trying to help John K. clarify his arguments.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been arguing politics with people so long, I’ve heard both sides before. I could make John’s case better than he could, just by remembering my opponents’ arguments from long ago.
He’d still be wrong (because Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Flavor of the Day proceeds from a faulty premise and therefore its conclusions are always incorrect) but at least his side could be cogently asserted.
Except – my heart’s not in it. I am capable of playing the Devil’s Advocate but it’s hard work and no fun. Who knows, maybe after John K. has sufficiently punished us by withholding his insightful commentary for a time, he might come back?
They almost always do.
Think about the various people that’ve been banned over the past 15 years. With the exception of “Doug”, “Creepy Prof” and “Crazy Joe”, they’ve all tried to come back. Some – Paddyboy – I’ve allowed. Others – Dog Gone – I never will
Hey JK………………….bye
I always skip over JK’s comments. Did I miss something?
Since my power is an off-again on-again affair, was JK banned?
jpa – no. See John K’s 8:48.
He graciously stayed with us until 9:00 a.m. Central, then left of his own accord.
Night Writer, see John K’s 8:48.
He has withdrawn.
He didn’t withdraw, JD. He got his ass kicked and scurried off. It does prove he has self-respect, which isn’t surprising for a guy who thinks he’s a towering intellect.
Actually, I dropped the ban hammer right after his last comment.
He didn’t leave. I offed him.
He didn’t leave. I offed him.
A mercy killing.
