Those awful right-wing Facebook pics your friends/family share

Have to deal with this a lot since I live in Texas I normally ignore it except a few that really get malicious or beyond ridiculous, one being a picture of a quran in outhouse being used as toilet paper, and anything that is about "Straight Pride" I unfriend those people immediately, other than that it's normally just gun rights stuff.

None on mine. I guess that's what happens when your family is a bunch of Palestinian socialists living in the Bay Area. :)

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Another aspect of welfare services that seem to get ignored, is that here in Los Angeles, at least, it's mandatory that you participate in various "work for hire" programs in order to keep receiving benefits. These programs vary, but they range from things like attending "classes" to help you improve your resume writing skills and interview skills, to doing work in offices. I've had to stuff envelopes and do all sorts of little tasks, while also sending out resumes and looking for full time work while I was getting food stamps and cash relief. My wife had to as well, or else she wouldn't be entitled to her side of the benefits. This image of the fat, overweight (probably minority) mother, sitting on her ass, watching soaps, eating filet mignon, gabbing away on her iPhone 5, while twerling the keys to her Mercedes Benz around her diamond studded ring finger, all the while collecting dat phat gov'ment check, is wildly inaccurate. They do make you put in work for your benefits, and the moment you stop attending those classes (and I'm talking missing one or two classes tops), they will cut off your benefits really quickly.

It's not inaccurate so much as painfully outdated. I lived in projects in the '70s and '80s and I assure you that most of our neighbors on welfare were sitting on ass at home all day every day.

It's not confined from the south, I'm from Long Island (part of NY) a blue state but my whole family (besides me) are hard-core Fox news / conservative sheep and to listen to them talk and post that crap led me to making an alt Facebook account. Otherwise I would be arguing with these people who really think if we had an Republican president that everything will magically be better

The left wing propaganda is just as bad.

"DOCTORS DISCOVER SMOKING POT REVERSED WOMAN'S ALZHEIMERS AND WHAT SHE SAID AFTER WILL SURPRISE YOU".

But I guess it depends on who you're friends with, my feed is polluted with pro-marijuana college students so I see a lot of the above.

how is that as bad as the rampant racism that conservatives share on facebook?
 
Marine Todd is an incredible meme. This article about it had me damn near crying.
From the comments:

A liberal muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, known atheist

"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!"

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.

"How old is this rock, pinhead?"

The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied "4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian"

"Wrong. It's been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real… then it should be an animal now"

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears. The same tears liberals cry for the "poor" (who today live in such luxury that most own refrigerators) when they jealously try to claw justly earned wealth from the deserving job creators. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, DeShawn Washington, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a sophist liberal professor. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!

The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Small Government" flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.

Semper Fi.
p.s. close the borders
 
This is my most disliked. Oblivious that they're supporting soldiers being paid shit.

I've always felt like anyone that pulled a "the troopz!" thing out as part of an argument is either being intentionally disingenuous or is just an asshole who doesn't get the point in the first place. It's not a zero sum game.

Unfollow, hide from feed every single time. Great to be proud and all, but I'm a firm believer in just keeping your ideologies (especially political ones) under wraps. No one needs to hear/read all of that.
 
I love the Swiss one because the NRA and other gun rights advocates would HATE the gun control measures the Swiss have. I mean police checks, permits especially on ammunition. It's illegal to carry weapons outside your home unless being transported in a secure container to or from a sporting or permit-requiring hunting area.

Also suicide by firearm is higher than than anywhere else in Europe except Finland (which has comparable gun ownership figures)

Its not exactly new

I think every president gets compared to hitler

You have to be old enough to remember that though. No matter who the president is, the absolute hate and vitriol from the other side is a little disturbing. And then the side whose president is in power acts like they can't believe how awful the other side is behaving.

Different in the UK, but I have one or two 'friends' who share Britain First propaganda shit. It's really cringeworthy.

Yeah, me too. The kind of posts that end with "I'm not racist, I just want my country back."

No, you're racist.

That grossed-out kid in the gay marriage salt thread said the exact same thing.
If there's one thing I'll give the right credit for, it's that they get their talking points out there in a quick and organized fashion.
