Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Actually Existing Libertarianism

Well... we're getting an idea of where the "yellow" on the libertarian flag comes from...

He gets more vanilla by the second.

Do libertarians have the same civility fetish that regular liberals do? I guess not, they're more in the "we should be free to scream whatever obscenities and threats we want without consequence" camp, aren't they?

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

yeah absolutely not, civility is the real fascism

if it's real, please someone give me the information I need to find this actual clip

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

It's real, although the dude's wearing underwear--guy named James Weeks II who was running for chairman of the Libertarian Party in 2016 and got two votes (one more than Vermin Supreme) vermin

Original C-SPAN footage here (relevant part starts at 3:24:22), local news interview of the dude here.

You’ve never seen their conference? They hoot and holler at the idea of driver’s licenses.

Brasileiro...

  • At the pace he's going..., I Tænk Mr. Milei will..., luckily..., succumb to a total nervous surmenage much, much earlier than 2027...

Shicuréo...

  • Just for your info.., if you would wish to reconsider... That submarine imploded in 2017..., in the midst of the Macri government period...

Martillazo...

  • You seem to lack some understanding of expressions used in Argentina.... “Pissing on” someone is a gross & very seldom used “figure of speech” that means exactly...: “To Pee on” somebody...

Capisce... gurises...?

Even Argie boomers type like anglo boomers.

This is not an official (or confirmed) statement made by him. It is a rumour originally published by Pagina12 (leftist opposition media).

TL;DR It is just a rumour

EDIT: Source

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Look at him though. Look at that face. That's the face of a pisser. An actual pissboy

This guy's gonna go fascist. He's on the Elon Musk pipeline, I'm calling it

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

gonna go

thought he already was?

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

i can't remember where i read it or heard it, but some old Journalism Ethical Standard™ i was looking at claimed that the practice of printing/using pictures of people with their mouths open while talking was "discouraged" because they make the subject look off-putting, since the frozen moment makes it seem like they are holding their mouth open like a crazy person or a fool.

anyway, ever since reading that, i notice it now and it never fails to crack me up because it's always true. it's also doubly hilarious when they do it to someone who deserves it anyway, like this shit wizard.

for your own amusement:
