    Probably better than a bunch of guys who get drunk and shoot cans once a week. The Taliban are genuinely terrifying because they have are fanatics with nothing to lose. How many of the putative US rebels are like that? Even so, most of the western casualties in Afghanistan were from roadside bombs, not guns.

    You're comparing hard nosed developing world lunatics who knew the terrain really well with soft lazy first worlders who have no idea how to fight.

    Fuck me. Why are so many Americans against single payer healthcare. I don't pay anything for any of those. Ok it's taken out of my salary but my first thought when I need to go to the ER or my doctor is not whether I've got enough money saved up.

    Wrong! Everyone knows Communism doesn't work because there's no financial incentive to do anything. Therefore everyone must have imagined any Soviet achievements in space research and development.

    I've only ever met a handful of brogrammers or neckbeards. They might be everywhere in the US but in Europe IT is mainly full of ordinary people with families and still there are few women. Male nerds also face a great deal of ostracism so that can't be the only reason either. Other professions such as medicine and law have plenty of unpleasant bro types as well but there are plenty of women in those professions. It's certainly not as simple as IT being full of monsters determined to prevent women from entering their precious male space.

  20. In fact you said

    For example, see how many women and people of color you find on this list:

    . As to white heterosexual men being the root of all evil, does that include all the ones who died to defeat the Nazis, all the ones who founded charities or do charitable work and just generally those who are decent human beings and not genocidal lunatics?

  21. Yeah they used to be interested in solving very real societal problems instead of organising Twitter mobs against someone for wrongthink and demonizing 3.5 billion people every time a man does something bad.

  22. No you didn't, you wanted women and PoC. Easy enough to find the latter. Pol Pot, imperial Japan, Suharto of Indonesia, the Rwandan genocide, the Ottoman genocide of Armenians etc etc. I do wonder. Do you expect all white men to take responsibility for Hitler? A lot of white men died at his hands and a lot of white men died to defeat him.
