It seems to me that pretty much every Max argument comes down this— _To be fair, Hitler was better looking than Churchill. He was a better dresser than Churchill. He had more hair! He told funnier jokes! And he could dance the pants off Churchill!_ ---

FYI, that paragraph, less the _to be fair_ - which is how Max frequently begins his posts - is a quote from the first **The Producers** , the funniest movie ever made. Don’t confuse it with the remake, which is so bad it’s traumatizing. ---

Did anyone notice his subtle insult towards people who aren’t straight? I’m referring specifically to his [lgbtqwtf](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spouses-of-judges/961119/201) in the “Spouses of Judges” thread. ---

_To be fair_, it’s probable he was expressing what was “not unusual to hear”, not necessarily his own phrasing. ---

Because no one could be as dumb as you pretend to be, and still manage to breathe in and out alternately. So the polite shit you post is simply to get a rise out of people that you then “debate” for hundreds of posts where you pretend to be just clueless, and not a horrific bigot. I’ll give you credit for fooling some people on here that I thought had more sense, but most people are not fooled by your act. ---

“He got me,” Mouse said of Max’s troll of him. “That fucking Max boomed me.” Mouse added, “he’s so good,” repeating it 4 times. Mouse then said he wanted to add Max to the list of posters he puts on ignore this summer. ---

@Max_S I don’t think you’re trolling, not exactly, but your smug twenty-something assholism pisses me off. Some of us remember when it was dangerous to be homosexual, when you could be arrested and lose your job and your family, and there were people running around actively trying to “catch” you. It was very real and very serious and it wasn’t _that_ long ago. It wasn’t as much _fun_ as you seem think it was. We remember when black people were viciously beaten and sometimes murdered with clubs and guns and fire and ropes for trying to go to school or to the polling place, along with some of the good white people that tried to help them. It was very real and very serious. We remember when banks wouldn’t issue credit to women and when job discrimination was legal. We remember when your mother or sister’ boss could fire her for not having sex with him, and there was nothing she could do about it. And if she got pregnant out of wedlock she would lose her job and any prospects for marriage and she could sometimes be driven out of desperation to cram a coat hanger into her cervix. We remember a time when if your twelve year old daughter ran away with an adult man, and was brutally raped daily for several months, the police wouldn’t do anything because she went with him voluntarily ( this one happened to my family, the twelve year old girl was my sister) We remember when young men, our friends and brothers, were shipped off against their wills en masse, to fight and die in a foreign war. All these things were very real and very serious, and they didn’t happen that damn long ago. This is why it pisses me off when you and your whiny privileged conservative buddies start ballyhooing about how those days were the pinnacle of American civilization, and how we should all go back there. It pisses me me off when I have to listen to whiny overgrown conservative children , who are fully protected against discrimination, who have an unprecedented degree of privacy and sexual freedom, who will never have their government force them to fight and die in a foreign war, act like having to wear a thin piece of cloth over their face, or having to get a shot that might give them the sniffles for a day in order to collectively save thousands of lives is some egregious and unprecedented assault on their “freedoms”. Or when they whine about being “silenced” because they can’t act like assholes on private property. And it pisses me off when coddled over privileged asshats like yourself, who have never had to overcome anything that remotely resembles injustice, get all self-righteous about how easy your life is and proceed to disparage and dismiss the challenges faced by all those who came before you, and everyone who isn’t as white and as male as you, which is what you do you start your in with your pseudo intellectual equivocations about how black people getting beaten with clubs and set on fire and murdered by the Klu Klux Klan was no big deal, and how if a black person finds it threatening when someone deliberately evokes that time, she’s an emotionally unstable snowflake . A snowflake that’s supposed to be extra resilient and take it without complaining because she’s black. You’re not stupid, but you’re completely untempered by life experience, and you’ve made a choice to poison your brain with shitty philosophy and shitty idols and shitty ideas. You’ve made a deliberate choice to be fully resistant to the idea of being a decent human being. I hope you’ll come around, but for now….go fuck yourself in your coddled white baby ass. Punk kids like you make me yearn for the days of draft boards. ---

I can understand being mildly pissed off at the privilege that underpins my nonchalant view of the KKK. But I’m not the one who said gay sex was some sort of pastime in the '50s - just a thing dudes did when they couldn’t get a date - that was (and is) **Crane**. I don’t long for a zeitgeist of the 1950s, not even their music. And I am _not_ a maskhole or anti-vaxxer by any stretch. ~Max [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-max-s/959074.md?page=16) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-max-s/959074.md?page=18)
