11. All lives matter my ass
Fri Oct 7, 2016, 01:43 PM
Oct 2016

When my old winger friends trot out the All Lives Matter cry I simply call BS on their views. I don't believe these people actually give two shits about all lives. Do the lives of North Koreans matter? How about Iraqis? Yemeni and Sudanese people? Do people on death row have lives that matter? How about Syrian lives? American Native lives? Wadda buncha of bullshit these people spout.

They just don't want to talk about problems they don't care about. It's like the news always spewing shit about the "middle" class while completely ignoring the poverty class in this country. I too, am fed up with this crap and am convinced that a giant swath of America is filled with people bathed in ignorance and fear with a terminal case of authoritarian knee-bending. And they can kiss my ass!
