Has there ever been a Lib who wandered in here and made actually good arguments or at least tried to actually back up their claims? (hexbear.net)

I feel like I've actually encountered some Libs IRL and in other online spaces who at least sounded more intelligent. Every one that wanders in here just insists that their right, cites Wikipedia, and tries to troll people like a 14 year old who stole their moms laptop.

You think we'd occasionally get a somewhat more articulate one there but I've yet yo see it.

I'm somewhat ashamed to say that I own a piece of Morello merch -- some years back, he did a signature guitar wah-wah pedal with Dunlop. Funny thing is, it's just a regular Dunlop Crybaby wah, but with Zapatista graphics. I didn't already have a Crybaby, and the used market on those things dried up pretty badly during COVID lockdown, so I said fuck it, $5 above regular new price and I get EZLN livery on my wah? Count me the fuck in.

Then he went and did this NFT shit. God damn it, Tom.

Posting an RIP Colin Powell tweet is now officially the third most embarrassing thing any member of Public Enemy has ever done.
