  1. Yep. If I could afford to move out of this redneck sisterfuck state I would.

  2. Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people vote conservative. A vicious circle that never ends.

  3. Democrats are the party of elites; Republicans are the party of working people.

  4. To quote the VP JD Vance in response to a two line text message:

    What?

  5. there is a reason why harvard, MIT, boston mass hospital are there…

    its also why wall street and silicon valley are where they are.

    its not a mystery

  6. Misery loves company, that’s why red states want the dept of education to be dismantled.

  7. Let’s not forget that Oklahoma has several neglected Native American reservations.

    >For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

    >As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny.

    >Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days. All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

    >Then the appearance arises that the task is to map “liberalism”, or “progressivism”, or “socialism”, or whateverthefuckkindofstupidnoise-ism, onto the core proposition of anti-conservatism.

    >No, it ain’t. The task is to throw all those things on the exact same burn pile as the collected works of all the apologists for conservatism, and start fresh. The core proposition of anti-conservatism requires no supplementation and no exegesis. It is as sufficient as it is necessary. What you see is what you get:

  9. As much as it kills me to say, in the last 25 years they’re #1 in professional sports championships too.

  10. No the people of Oklahoma would not be furious. They’re often proud of their ignorance. They hate intellectuals.

  11. Can anyone read this to me? I’m from Arkansas, and apparently our government is jealous of Oklahoma

  12. I REALLY like Massachusetts, I was born and raised there…but those people do not act like they’re the happiest bunch around lol.
