The fact that you’re trying to come in here and mitigate it doesn’t change it. You were trying to find a way to blame the Jews for the Holocaust. You’re lucky people think you’re stupid, because, if they didn’t, they’d assume you were a Nazi for that idiotic post. I’m pretty sure that’s why it wasn’t thrown to the Pit. FUCKING THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT YOU SAY! ---

> [@BigT](#): > > You’re lucky people think you’re stupid, because, if they didn’t, they’d assume you were a Nazi for that idiotic post. Sammy is fine with being thought of as a Nazi because he is one. This was apparent even before that idiotic thread. Sammy’s big problem is that he desperately wants to be thought of as a _ **brilliant** _ Nazi, and that part isn’t working out so well. Sammy probably has recurring fantasies of being the leading genius of the Third Reich, designing self-replicating Panzers powered by swarms of nanobots. If only someone like Sammy had been on Hitler’s team, today we’d all be eating Nürnberger Rostbratwurst and sauerkraut and bellowing out the lyrics of _Horst Wessel Lied_. ---

I considered replying with some basic education in your latest train wreck of a thread, but I think I’ll put it here instead: > [@](#): > > Is this an accurate model of what happened? No, you absolute dumbass, it is not an accurate model. There are still people that are identifiable as Italian or Irish, maintain that as a part of their identity, celebrate particular holidays differently or more intensively than the average other citizen. There are also communities with other heritages all over the world that are similarly distinguishable. Some are younger than the bulk of Italian or Irish mass immigration to the US, some are older, some are more distinguishable and some are less, but none suffer the same degree of being singled out for persecution. Yes, there are descendants of Italian or Irish immigrants who have completely vanished into the melting pot, but that’s true for Jewish immigrants as well, and a lot of descendants of immigrants who chose to avoid passing traditions and language on to fit in regret it today. Italians and Irish were discriminated against. That discrimination didn’t stop because they all assimilated, it stopped because people started accepting “I’m Irish, I’m staunchly catholic and only drink potatoes and Guinness” as a thing was perfectly fine to do. When the loonies rant against “Jews in Hollywood” what in particular do you think those Jews are doing in their lives, other than identifying as Jews, that make them insufficiently American? ---

That’s actually a good point. After just a few days of Sammy’s usual bloviations and pontifications, Hitler would have declared “Nicht mehr _Samuelsplaining_”, and had him shot. ---

The stupid is strong with this one. > [@SamuelA](#): > > You could advise a young woman who goes to frat parties and gets drunk to ‘stop being so rape-able’. This doesn’t make the frat boys not criminals but it is a simple fact that the woman can reduce her chances of being assaulted significantly by changing her behavior. If it was possible for Jewish Germans to assimilate and make themselves not targets it’s a valid and compelling thing to do. Regardless of the criminal guilt of their government.

I think it’s Dunning-Kruger on full display. Sammy really is that stupid, and that oblivious to it. It’s the stupidity coupled with his pathological pomposity that leads him to provide instant solutions to all the world’s problems. All that’s required is to “just” do what Sammy says, though it’s usually pretty obvious that Sammy understands little or nothing about the actual problem. And yes, there’s a “just” in this one, too – it’s right in the OP. ---

Back from vacation . . . and I see our beloved twat-waffle has his Royal Ensign flying from his top mast. I happened to scan the online version of the [Air Force Times](http://airforcetimes.va.newsmemory.com/) today (7/15/2019 issue), and saw a reference on Page 10 that might be helpful. There was a infographic on the difference between a “Becky” and a “Stacy.” Not that I was going out of my way to learn them, but I thought it constructive to put his random blathering into context. I’m sure he’ll weigh in on this, and try to defend his douche-baggery. And I’m totally fine with that! Every post he drops just adds more comedy material to this soap opera. Tripler Thanks for the shout-out **wolfpup**! Nobody took me up on the wager. ---

Either it’s expensive (50% of your assets, what a bargain) or really expensive (each kid is 233k on average! ouch!). So we’re all “payas”, friend. Just some of us pay less than others.

> [@SamuelA](#): > > … I bet it pisses you off more thinking of it It does. I always wanted to be a loser paying for the privilege of mindlessly banging diseased whores, but alas, somehow it was never in the cards for me. Pisses me off, it does! 😃 Anyway, I think you should take your own advice, modeled on the advice that you graciously offered to the victims of the Nazi Holocaust, which was to “just” stop being a Jew. This brilliant strategy can be adapted to your own issue, to wit: maybe you should “just” stop being a fucking imbecile. See how easily I solved your problem? You’re welcome. Also, why do you have to embrace the hate? I thought your true place was among the geniuses at LesserWrong, to which you promised to abscond. Or are your posts over there as idiotic and annoying as they are here? As for that train wreck of a thread you started in GQ, do us all a favor – next time you “have a thought”, fucking keep it to yourself, because I shudder to think what the next one will be. ---

You’re right. I don’t know the “rules” to one’s self entitlement to ‘incel.’ I don’t know if the voluntary financing of one’s prostitute removes the “involuntary” or “celibate” part. Nor do I care. > [@SamuelA](#): > > Sounds like it makes me a playa who’s cheating the game rather than playing it fair. Which I’m fine with! Pro tip: if you’re paying to play “the game,” you’re doing it wrong. It doesn’t make you a “playa,” it makes you now _exactly_ what your Corporal said you were then: a “dumb fuck.” Tripler It’s just too easy with this kid. . . ---

[The train wreck is closed.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21741322&postcount=59) Next up, perhaps Sammy will have another “thought” and Samuelsplain to us why black people are stupid, or something equally enlightening involving gays or people with disabilities.
