John Wayne was a turd who vocally supported Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon.

Spider-Man is based.

Gay beer is great.

I'm not seeing the downside here?

I prefer something like clover to astroturf, but your local climate may vary.

It reminds of the one panel comic strip where it says "Liberal Utopia" and it has all these great things in it (Abortion centers, universal Healthcare, gay marriage, and other good stuff) but the comic is supposed to more "Look at these horrible things!"

I love what the fascists don't like lol

Same vibe, not the comic I was thinking of. Good try though!

John Wayne had to be physically restrained from beating up a Native American woman at the Academy Awards.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 2 points 2 months ago

The best thing John Wayne ever did, was sign up for that movie that killed him

Because woke means "thing I don't like" and that's all

Even as all the alarm bells go off about droughts and impending water crises, we must never compromise on our God-given right to lush green grass lawns.

[–] roguetrick 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Petrochemical replacement for plants and favored by stadium owners that hate labor costs? That might be points in it's favor, but the real issue is liberals don't appreciate the experience of playing ball in real grass.

[–] TotallynotJessica 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's probably because green fields take a ton of water to maintain in many climates. In the American west, they're awful for water usage. Green lawns and golf courses should straight up be banned for the public good.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I'd like to try a round of golf in a western desert. We're just hitting a ball around; it doesn't have to look like Scotland.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is it better with tons of microplastics? Sweden banned artificial grass last year due to that. But we also have better water controls compared to the US west I guess...

[–] TotallynotJessica 4 points 2 months ago

It's simple: minimize the use of both. Do drought resistant landscaping and only use grass when there are no alternatives. Create more tree canopy or plant succulent gardens if you hate dirt.

The truth is, we will need to give up many staples of our modern lives eventually. We need to fundamentally restructure the economy and society to combat the mess industrialization has made. We can phase our unsustainable practices out, or nature will force us to give them up in a far less pleasant manner.

[–] roguetrick 1 points 2 months ago

The water management of the svenska desert is truly a marvel.

We've finally found it: the queer agenda. Let's get to work, people.

[–] Vandals_handle 44 points 2 months ago

John Wayne? Don't you mean Marion Morrison? Use their birth name to inoculate against the woke virus.

I'm sorry but the "inside" tweet reads like satire

[–] PugJesus 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it is. Still a great response.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Looking at what appears to be this guy's twitter I think that's probably accurate. One of the first things I saw looking for this guy's profile was this and I can't see any other explanation for the term "Straightriotic lovemaking"

[–] A_Filthy_Weeaboo 24 points 2 months ago

Based Ice-T

Also Body Count is mad funny to listen to!

[–] Diplomjodler3 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where would one find this ungodly "gay beer"? So one can avoid it, of course.

[–] PugJesus 24 points 2 months ago

The nearest Spider-Man fountain, it would seem

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We are burying the lede here.

He has John Wayne statues? Multiple?

I don't know who this is, but that's like half a step from having an anime pillow. I mean, enjoy your kink, but that sounds really judgemental for someone with such... specific proclivities.

[–] roguetrick 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

He's doing a bit. I wouldn't personally pay musk for the blue checkmark to do a bit, but he obviously is.

Oh, ok, so is the joke that ICE T, like me, got Poe's lawed into boosting this or that he boosted this funny comedian guy? I am too detached from whatever is cooking in whatever is left of Twitter.

[–] jontree255 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

John Wayne was a piece of shit

[–] BreadOven 2 points 2 months ago

John Wayne was a Nazi.

[–] simplejack 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Just like Wayne, these people love pansies that act tough in front of a camera.

[–] Fades 11 points 2 months ago

Cowards recognize cowards

[–] Nuke_the_whales 2 points 2 months ago

His name wasn't even John Wayne it was Marion Morrison. Marion!

[–] dropout 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant shit to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Motherfuck him and John Wayne

[–] AtomicHotSauce 7 points 2 months ago

This was the jam I thought of when I first read this post.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Ah no, forcing people is a conservative thing.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

John Wayne was a weenie wuss bitch asshole.

Pretty sure the writer of Spider-Man told two Nazis to come down to the street and fight him when they said something Nazi shit at his job

[–] madcaesar 13 points 2 months ago

John Wayne and Ronald Reagan are two grade A assholes.

[–] Fades 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] xantoxis 7 points 2 months ago

I would rather not have the astroturf either fwiw. Gay beer might be worth it tho

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No wonder Trump likes John Wayne. They both pussied out instead of joining the war.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] pennomi 18 points 2 months ago

Astroturf. The real woke agenda is native plants!

[–] Nuke_the_whales 7 points 2 months ago

John Wayne was a piece of shit and a terrible actor to boot. I cringe when I see his movies.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

TIL grass shaped hydrocarbons are Woke.

Replacing a "natural" lawn with literal oil byproducts seems more in line with the Republican worldview

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Iceberg always right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Sounds like Tommy Tallarico
