I'm confused as to why the fringe right isn't all over this shit.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

I was surprised to see that he has over a dozen honorary degrees and none of them are from UVA.

On which side of the issue, condemning him or defending him?

Condemning. You have a prominent black man raping vulnerable white women for decades, protected by an enabling Hollywood apparatus and a complicit media. It's checking a lot of boxes.WildGorillaMan wrote:On which side of the issue, condemning him or defending him?Grandpa's Spells wrote:I'm confused as to why the fringe right isn't all over this shit.

I would have thought they'd be defending him: he's a wealthy, powerful man, beloved by the proletariat who used his position and authority to get what he wanted, when he wanted it. If he owned a factory he'd check all the boxes for an Ayn Rand Objectivist hero.Grandpa's Spells wrote:Condemning.

Cosby got a pass because no one wanted to believe it. He was such a nice guy. Much like OJ's abuse of Nicole.
OTOH, people seemed to believe Roman Polanski drugged & raped a 13 year old girl. But he was such a Talent that all was excused by the Cool Crowd. And even here in IGx, IIRC.

Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of the free man from the slave.
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.

Canada's homegrown celebrity sex offender was much the same way.

Seriously though, how could that haircut not set off alarm bells in people's minds? A 47 year old man styling his hair like he's in One Direction? It's not right.
