Mail Call! More missives from unhappy readers

I get mail, some of it nice, some of it not so nice. And people try to leave comments that are insipid or vile, which I don’t let through moderation.

But once in a while, I like to share some of these with you all because they are quite special in their own way.

So let’s look at a few recent messages in a couple of different genres.

First, there are the Deniers, who assure me that whatever evil shit I’ve written about really isn’t that bad, if you think about it.

Like, say, Tucker Carlson, the subject of a missive from “eah.”

Tucker Carlson isn’t instigating a ‘race war’ — he just responds to rhetoric he sees on other media outlets, much of it rather explicitly and undeniably anti-white.

You should stop acting like a hysterical woman and get a real job.

Then there’s Tristin, on the topic of gamers:

[A]s a gamer myself I can say with absolute certainty that 99% of gamers who use slurs aren’t racist, In fact its quite the opposite. Slurs have become apart of gamer culture, the language of gamers is shit talking and all slurs have kinda lost their meaning. …

Its almost become a way for the community to bond and make new friends. Its also funny to watch people who don’t realize it’s all joking get really upset so most gamers will double down if you get upset, its almost a way to weedout the weak and unworthy. 

Ah yes, the “weak and unworthy” who don’t want to hear the n-word blasted in their ears every three seconds.

Then there are the straight-up Delusionals, like the guy responding to my recent observation that “It’s getting harder to tell the MAGAs from the Nazis.”

Here’s a clue for you: secret state police, phony elections, cancelling opponents, and forced medical procedures. Now who does that sound like?

Well, no one. This is all stuff you’ve made up. I mean, there is the FBI, but it’s not being used to round up right-wingers aside from literal fascists planning murders and the like. Meanwhile, the “phony elections” thing is a flat-out lie, and the main people promoting it know that it’s a lie because they’re the ones who came up with it in the first place; the “forced medical procedures” are pure transphobic fantasy; and as for canceling opponents, how is it that so many of the so-called canceled end up on Fox News, the most widely watched news channel in America, to complain about how canceled they are?

And then there are the BWAHAHAers, who don’t deny the evil shit that’s going on but who think it’s actually good, at least for them. Not so much for us.

This one’s from someone called TheTrunchbull, and it came in today in response to my post yesterday about all the rampant slur-mongering in Elon Musk’s Twitterland.

The time is coming. You thin skins will all be smashed out. They will crush you, take your women and enslave your children. Well most of you don’t have either so you’ll just get smashed out. Not long now and it’s going to change for a generation with no way you can do anything about it. Glorious.

I get a lot of messages like this. These guys just love to monologue like cartoon villains.
