Hey, Alex Jones!....remember asking Nick when he was gonna get married and have kids and you kept telling him how good looking he was and he kept deflecting the subject and telling you that it wasnt his priority? Remember that? Just last week? Remember?

You just couldn't pick up the cues, could you?

Wasn't Alex Jones caught watching trans porn or something? Between this and that, you can wonder if there's anything real in these people's life. Must be hard to always pretend.

[–] Phegan 32 points 1 month ago

He got caught with trans porn tabs open on his browser. While it isn't watching, still the same implication

I didn't believe you, OP. I thought there's no way, it's exactly the kind of thing that would be made up. Like we all talk about accidentally streaming porn but it never actually happens.

But holy fuck, there's images. There's a screen recording. You can see one of the guys had a pup hood. I am completely shocked.

And yeah, even before he realized what was happening the chat had already come up with an excuse and he went with it. We live in a clown world.

I worked with a guy for a bit on a Helpdesk. He was our overnight guy and would generally work alone. The dude had a massive collection of movies and tv shows on his home server that he would remotely connect to and watch while in the office.

Well one day he leaves work after his shift. About an hour or so later the office is echoing with the screams and slaps of sex.

He left and forgot the logout and left the volumed turned to 11

They came up with an excuse so they could sit and watch with him

Evidently you aren't aware that this is how all the anti-gay republican go down (no pun intended), time and again. reality is a parody of itself.

All men have prostates, prostates give the better orgasm, all self-serving egomaniacs always seek greater pleasure and will never apply principles they apply to others, to themselves, because that's the purpose of power, privilege, which more or less means the ability to flout laws. Everyone figures out they have a prostate eventually (due to medical necessity if nothing else) and then, if you've spent your life being an idiot about it, the bill comes due. It happens all the time, the world over. It's so fucking boring it's literally criminal.

[–] thawed_caveman 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No i always expected conservatives to be secretely gay, but accidentally streaming gay porn is so funny and so demonstrative that it sounds made up. Like it's unquestionable proof of a common stereotype and the person also looks clumsy in the process, it's like too good.

There is a difference between hitting the p spot and becoming gay. You can put a finger or dildo up there, or get a girl to peg you without watching gay porn.

I think this is it. I am so fucking sick of being politically aware. I am tired of knowing that most of the bullshit in the US was caused by Jerry Falwell standing to lose money from desegregation. I am tired of being trans in an idiot state governed by those that fuckers he influenced over 50 years ago. I am tired of only being able to vote or hold a sign. This whole thing is fucked.

I am tired of having literal rocks thrown at me if I dare to speak when my voice doesn't match my presented gender. I am tired of being told that I shouldn't exist. I am tired of being completely ignored at work even with over 20 years in the trade.

I don't know why this sent me over the edge reading this, but I am so ready to cash out my savings and live in a dark bunker, letting an ignorance of this garbage's existence wash over me.

I say this with all of my being: The GOP and neo nazis like this fucker can sit on it and spin.

If moving to a civilized country is a potential option for you, it could pay off looking into your genealogy.

I grew up in the US and moved to Norway after feeling like the country was nose-diving politically. I remember feeling serious shame for paying taxes to fund such horrendous actions, an unwavering sense of hopelessness, and even serious depression. I remember the first time I realised how much I felt like a foreigner in my own home country, and the existential dread those words brought with them, amplified by the fact that I felt like there was nothing in my power I could do to change that. It was so far beyond awful. I'm struggling to find the words that can accurately convey how bleak and worthless life in the US felt.

And I say this as a cis white man. I've heard horror stories, but I can't possibly imagine what it must be like for trans people in the US, especially in the past several years.

At some point I learned that because my grandmother was born in a certain EU country and fled during WWII, I qualified for citizenship of that country, just by proving my relation to her. It took some time, but I got the documents in order to put together my application, and left everything behind to move to Norway. With EU citizenship, you could move almost anywhere in Europe you choose. I chose Norway for many many reasons, but scandinavia in general is just so incredibly politically refreshing. Regardless of political views, the system itself just... Works.

Since you have 20+ years experience in your field, you might not even need to go though the process of getting a citizenship you may or may not qualify for as a birthright, depending on your profession. Many countries also have immigration laws in place making it extremely easy for skilled workers to relocate there, permanently. I know in Norway, the company hiring the skilled worker can essentially vouch for skilled workers, granting them the right of residency as soon as they're hired. And there are many companies which post job listings in English, without requiring you to know the local language, because... Well, damn near everybody here is completely fluent in English and has no issue speaking English, or even switching to English for entire groups of people, even if only one person struggles with Norwegian.

But anyway, I'm sorry you're forced to feel the way you feel living in your own home country. I can relate to parts of it at least, and even the sum of those parts was unbearable for me. So it saddens me to read messages like yours. I just wanted to offer a suggestion that worked to stop these feelings for me, and ended up being the best damn decision I've ever made in my life.

If you have questions or anything, feel free to send me a message.

Is everything Republican rail against just self loathing projection?

[–] kiagam 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm yet to see a radical be against something and it not be because they hate themselves. Either they want others to suffer like them, or to struggle like they had to, or to not let the "unworthy" be more similar to them.

  • You can't be gay! - probably closeted gay
  • you can't work from home! - probably is a bad worker if noone is watching over them
  • You can't abort! - probably did it themselves and regretted or are the result of a failed attempt
  • You can't have x! - probably has x and doesn't want others to be equal to them
  • You can't use drugs! - probably uses drugs
[–] NegativeInf 25 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure my mother, who is staunchly against abortion, is only against it because my grandmother offered to pay to abort me and my mother refused the offer and regrets it. She was 18 and her aunt then refused to pay for her college because she got knocked up. But you get what you get, and she got a gay son. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A few of them are true Captain Planet cartoon villains in their hearts (McConnel, MangoBastard), but for the most part yes.

It's like these conservatives are just closet homos who can't seem to be able to get out of the closet.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

The worst part is they are ruining for all homos because they are so self hating.

Honestly they can get fucked.

I’m sorry their mum and dad can’t accept you want to take cock up the bum but it’s no reason to go around stopping other perfectly happy and well adjusted people from doing it.

Isn't it weird how men who spend a lot of time thinking about gay sex keep turning out to be gay?

Not very surprising, right? He was once basically on a date with a guy, and a lot of times has he talked about how the company of other men is his preference. Sure, just some usual rightwing misogony, bit there always seemed to be something else there too.

Honest question. I'm vaguely familiar with streaming software and fairly tech literate.

How does something like this accidentally happen?
Also, OP says he forgot to turn off the camera and masturbated but that doesn't seem to be what the video depicts?

"I want attention, watch this."

Stop. Talking. About. Nazis. And. FACISTS.

Unless they've actually done something like killed people or something. Covering shit like this is exactly what they need. They have no shame.
