  1. HW, facts are fine but they’ve failed Conservatism Inc, for generations. You need cartoons! Graphics! Visual things that previously disinterested people find attractive!

    What could be easier than satirizing the present regime? So much material, so little anxiousness to exploit it!

  4. I agree with Yancy, basically we have devolved into backward superstitious lot that uses taboo to shove stats like these into a hole. But no one believes this equality garbage anymore except maybe some stupid white girls somewhere. CrapMuurika is the new Soviet or Yugoslavia, we all pretend.

    The Left has given up on all pretentions of any intellectual rigor whatsoever, the Right is just confused, stuck between fantasy egalitrian blank slate stupidity and old axioms of classical liberalism. Ask anyone about equality any questions whatsoever and its like asking teenagers about Santa.

  5. Ah, home sweet home.

    At least until the collapse.

    Statistically speaking, one could make a fortune off the gold “teef” in Mississippi alone. Should one pursue mining after said collapse.

  6. “HW, facts are fine but they’ve failed Conservatism Inc, for generations.”

    Facts *alone* may have failed. You need them but they need to be combined with either active de-programming or economic distress or both.
