You know Nightmare Before Christmas? I don't get Oogie's motivation.
He didn't kidnap Santa, Jack Skellington did. He commissioned Oogie's minions to do it, and then they bring Santa to Oogie for no real reason, and Oogie he holds him for no real reason, and the show treats Jack like a hero for rescuing him when it was his idea to kidnap him in the first place.

I need to stop reading the Washington Post comments.
It's always like this;
"The white guy was qualified and the manager said "We don't need another white guy", DISCRIMINATION."
"Oh boo hoo a room full of white guys won't hire another white guy."
"It's reverse discrimination."
"Take a time machine back in time and colonize all of Europe ruining it so everyone migrates to Africa and can't get jobs, then you have reverse racism!"
Just the same dumb shit like that.
Obv I'll sympathize with the side that doesn't dance around the fact they think all whites should die for colonization, the same shit happens to Asians and.they make even more money on average then white guys, they get discriminated against about the same or worse, but they don't complain about it. What if they did though? You can't say "LOL colonization: to them, so what you gonna do to justify?

Actually, I did see something unique.. A minority group in Afghanistan hating on Muslims.
The topic was about Israel zionism, and a Twitter feed was full of Middle Eastern non Israeli people hating on Muslims harder then I ever saw any of the race baiting in the West. Citing genocides from the dominant majorities against their group, claiming there is no Palestinian land and that no Muslims anywhere should have a Homeland, just major major hate.
They're a true invisible minority, as you'd never know they exist from the media coverage.

One thing i'm proud of is that for all the complaining, not one poster has reported me to mods ever. Not once!
How bad can I be if I am never, ever reported?

Like I would ever infringe against your right to denying holocaust.
But I am surprised at you Stilt, your view is warped buddy.

Wish I could see a list if a mod could post one here.

Do a Riv. Make its own topic if you need to, I am intrigued.
I mainly want to see what they accuse me of, as I can't remember anything except behaving well. Except for the Dragon Ball stuff.

At this point, I think you just copy paste random troll posts from Truth Social and/or 4chan in a pitiless bid for attention.
You already are painfully aware that nobody on this comic vs forum cares for your stream-of-consciousness babble. Is your Russian troll farm handler threatening to withhold your rubles? Is that what motivates you?
I mean, if you're talking Ukraine/Russia commentary, I'm not the first to criticize Ukraine.
I do follow Right Wing media sometimes, but it's less me copying off them and more me finding stuff that partially reinforces ideas I had all along. Like the very concept of YouTube and other major corporations somehow being the best friend of the Left and enemy of the Right.
Remember when The Man was the enemy? Wasn't so long ago.
And anti government, and "conspiracy theorist".. Nowadays they're as pro authority as it gets, as long as their target is the Alt-Right it's all "Trust the feds"!
I mean if no one with any credibility at all is against Big Gov and Big Business, maybe that's a problem? As on a free pass from their traditional enemies, because Neo-Nazi's?

Ned Price is a Biden representative, Department of State. Matt Lee is an AP reporter.
Ned Price is literally telling Matt "Trust me, I'm the federal government."
This is the Democrats now. Unless a Republican is in office, you trust them, without question.

I say the Dems say "Trust the science" or "Trust the government" provided it's THEIR authorities in charge. There is no generalised distrust of authority, the anarchists and hippies are gone and the Neo-Lib capitalists are in charge.
Heck, free speech is a Neo-Nazi concept now. How dumb is that, that you're supposed to trust the power to silence a bigot could never EVER be used for ill.
Just look at this Washington Post article from the mid-late 1990's:
Maybe you agree with this and think suppressing neo-nazi hate speech is worth it to avoid this "race war".
I have two questions for my straw man (At least straw in terms of YOUR opinion, as I have no idea what your opinion is)
1. What stops the powers that be from abusing this trust? You can call anything racist, anything bigoted. You can just lie and censor.
2. Isn't it racist to assume minorities can't react to provocations, except in violence?
I mean of 2 is true, then if you made all Neo-Nazi's vanish from the earth, you're left with a population that is still on a short fuse, and might explode at any perceived slight. Videos exist of Asians being beaten up because a word in their native tongue sounds like an English slur.
Maybe I am ignorant, but if I read "We wanna censor to avoid the collapse of society", I tend to get annoyed as THAT sounds insanely ignorant to me. It's paranoid.

I don't need to debunk an asinine assertion. You need to sincerely understand that you're not going to shift the burden of proof onto me when you make asinine statements.
