The whole coin could be his head, with his little face right in the center.

Really wish more people would follows these words of wisdom. The subject troll (or rather, the hijack troll—the subject troll is dead) is successfully making it impossible for the normies to follow this thread. Hundreds of posts in the last couple days, almost all to or from one particular ass-hat. Actually, I take that back: most hats and most asses have more brains than this one.

I would never get bored, as they say, “In for a Charlie Kirk, in for a $TRUMP”.

I may reported the trolling except that the subject matter of the thread has been pretty thoroughly covered, though I agree that people should stop responding to him – what’s the point? He’s not acting in good faith, will never learn, and everyone reading the thread knows he’s a troll, don’t waste your energy.

[ahem] The correct form, as our Glorious Leader (PBUH) has said it, is “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!” All caps may sometimes be unnecessary, but the full phrase is mandatory.

I just love the desperation coming from these assholes. I bet this dumbass also says he loves hearing about the conservative point of view too.

Yep. I did sort of chuckle at his half-witted attempt to call me out and draw me back in above, but he doesn’t warrant any more attention or respect than a sensibly amused nod and a quick scroll to the next post. Starve him of attention and he’ll take his puerile circus act elsewhere.

You should stay away you odious little prick. I don’t want to you to get any ideas and try to shoot me in the neck too for being “hateful”. Amoral repugnant snake.

I saw. I thought it was both hilarious and impressive how you came up with that theory all by yourself. Also something something about the currency I get paid in?

Relax granny. I’m just some guy with opinions who has been posting here for 25 years now.

Did I not act in good faith with you? I’m sorry the word “absurd” triggered you so much in our little conversation. 🙄 Replace with “unreasonable” then. Idiot.

Yeah, zero chance he read the full transcripts of CK quotes, context, subject matter, what have you that we’ve all sent him.

I’d just love to see a post response like, “I like CK because…” NOT a response like, “Oh, you doodads in flippant leftie-wings (gargles like a banshee with covid)! It’s my opinion! I don’t have to say why!!! (gargles like seafarer with syphilus).”

Why is a 31-year-old bible thumper who hates LGBTQ+ rights, blacks, supports the 2nd amendment to justify gun violence so damn popular with this guy? Or anyone?

Never mind. Forgot about the beloved storybook. Probably a factor.

Well, there is one bit of Newspeak that applies here:

> **crimestop** _n._ The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. **In short…protective stupidity.**

(Bolding added for emphasis.)

I have done nothing but reply to you directly, honestly and politely, even when your whole position is one sentence or you claim, probably correctly, that this message board doesn’t allow you to say more. I guess that is over now.

It is common with people with a mental age above 10 years old.

No I’m not. Just because I’m not religious doesn’t mean I want to associate politically with you morons. Liberal brain rot is a degenerative condition that may seem harmless at first but it can lead to serious incapacitation or even death. Symptoms at first include extreme intolerance, violent tendencies, frothing at the mouth a lot and being obsessed with race. Obesity is a frequent comorbidity. It can progress surprisingly quickly to a vegetative state. It is usually irreversible when you reach the state of a Czarcasm.
