Well I called it. The right wing never once cared about women's sports.

As evidenced by their hateful, mean spirited, and spiteful comments on the US Women's National Team losing. And especially the white male commentators lime Ben Shapiro practically had orgazams about this loss. Like the classless assholes that they are.

It was never about children or trans people. It was about eliminating entire groups of people from existing. The women's sports issue was just a scapegoat. The right wing hate machine is pure fucking evil.

Dehumanized the Jewish people and others making it easier for the German people to allow their extermination.

For this reason and this reason only I will not refer to any human being as less than human, but I sure want to.

Hate and Ignorance. I’m sad the team lost but they represented themselves and our country well. Something republicans haven’t done in at least one generation. Two time defending champs. Good on You Girls. (I call them girls cause I’m an old guy and that’s my term of affection.) Thanks for hoisting the flag for OUR country. I guess conservatives don’t think this is their country. I’m proud of the Teams efforts. And wish them well in the future.

Your post is right on the mark Initech. Their hatred is overwhelming and with no rationale.

One of many.

The megalomaniacs know how to get their peeps tp respond to fear.

Faux Nooz et al are the operant conditioners.


Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that uses rewards and punishment to modify behavior. Through operant conditioning, behavior that is rewarded is likely to be repeated, and behavior that is punished will rarely occur.

Long. Chock full of information.


Human Resources Social Engineering In The 20th Century


Human Resources: Social Engineering in the 20th Century explores the rise of mechanistic philosophy and the exploitation of human beings under modern hierarchical systems. Topics covered include behaviorism, scientific management, work-place democracy, schooling, frustration-aggression hypothesis and human experimentation
- -
"Essentially", says Scott, "this film is about the rise of mechanistic philosophy and the exploitation of human beings under modern hierarchical systems." The film includes original interviews with: Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Rebecca Lemov (World as Laboratory), Christopher Simpson (The Science of Coercion), George Ritzer (The McDonaldization of Society), Morris Berman (The Reenchantment of the World), John Taylor Gatto (Dumbing us Down), Alfie Kohn (What does it mean to be well educated?) and others.

Read David Ker Thomson's review of the film. He writes: It answers the significant events of the last century the way a glass answers the implicit questions of a man who peers into its reflective surface, point for point. It corresponds, in short, to reality.

Tanked so badly in 2017 that they didn't even qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

Or when the men's team lost in the quarterfinals of the 2019 basketball World Cup.

They have no respect or regard for women at all. I refer to them as the women-haters party and they’ve never proven me wrong.

All we ever hear from them is who, what they hate, what they want to destroy, instead of what they are for, and what they will do improve the lives of Americans. They have been toxic for ages and now have devolved into a party of sedition and violence. They are dangerous.

I can't think of anything good Republican wise, the disinfo and whatever to FAKE OUT voters to vote against their own self interests!

Insane amount of lying as just doing the job is WTAF!?!

Are not gracious losers supposed go congratulate the winners and say something like, "Thanks for a great game." Obviously grace and good sportsmanship ain't valued with that crowd.
