Events the conservative carpetbagger is hawking include “Truth seeker” nights, “Conspiracy Theory Trivia” with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle as a prize, “Open Carry Coffee” mornings with holstered handguns, and “Worship Nights” along with Bible study groups and a “Christian Singles Mingle” mixer.

A “Nefarious Vaccine Agenda” event and an upcoming “NASA Lies and Flat Earth” presentation fill out the bar’s way-out bill of fare.

Hate to disappoint, sir, but this was one bar my queer ass was never going to end up in anyway.

Geeeeeee, I wonder why gun crimes are so rampant in 'Murica compared to ~anywhere else in the world. I really have no idea! I hope someone figures this out eventually!

Do these people not realize they're caricatures? That people are laughing at them?

How can someone have so little self awareness

I dont know, free beer and a flat earth exposé could be pretty entertaining.

Not gonna lie, while all that shit is insane, they're being pretty clever with their promotions. The best you'd get from most bars is a karaoke night or discount prime rib night.

Damn straight.

Damn, sounds like that place has hit a critical mass of fact-averse regressive stupidity!

SURELY some of the flavors of fascist and libertarian wackos must feel deeply embarrassed to be associated with the others. Unless of course they're no longer capable of the tiny amount of self awareness embarrassment requires..

"I hate you. So long as we push in the same direction, for now, we can get along. If needed we can deal with this at a later date."

Yes, to the smell of bullshit and the sound of factoids.

Things people usually just ignore

Remind me what the point of a post-and-comment style forum is if the only appropriate reaction to the content is stoic silence?

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -1 points 5 months ago

Sometimes people say positive or neutral or interesting things. “I hate that” is just one of an almost endless variety of ways one can participate.
