I'm...not sure if this is some elaborate innuendo, or if something to do with oil happened that I don't know of.

I think it's the latter...but, knowing Bay12, it could be the former...

As I understand it they are talking about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 at the Gulf of Mexico.

That's still news? I know people were protesting BP for a while after that but I thought it stopped being news like 3 years ago.

You really don't deeply know B12 then if the former is assumed more over the latter. :/
^{I mean, in all seriousness...I doubt it.}

That's a guitar pedal (or something like that) apparently.

I said I think it's the latter. Meaning, I was almost certain. But given the previous topic I wasn't 100%

It's still news in the sense it's still fucking up peoples lives and we're still getting notable ecological damage and the occasional tarball washing up on shore, here in the gulf.

Ah, thank you guys. You always know how to turn my sads into happies and my RRAAAGGGEEE into laughter.

I needed that

That aside, some brands of crazy are more politically acceptable than others in any given location, ergo politicians can get away with believing/pretending to buy into it. See: Warlordism in Arizona not being stopped by the government because--let's be honest here--they're white. And because the Feds are more reluctant to try and crack down on that sort of militia activity after dealing with things like Waco, of course.

O_o what?

Cliven Bundy. He had national-level political and media support for his 'right' to overgraze his cattle on public land without paying the normal fees, at least until he started openly talking about how black people should be slaves again. Of course the armed militia groups that moved in to prevent federal agents from removing his herds from public land couldn't care less, and in fact have started setting up checkpoints and demanding proof of residency from travelers.

The future is here and it is the past.

Wat the fuck
The fuck is this

It is crazy people, and it probably will not end well.
Well, maybe not for them, but for us it'll probably be a win.

[Xantalos]

I'd do terrible things to people who bucked up against my rule like that, but that's why I'm not a politician.

[Yoink]

Guy's probably a total dumbass, but the whole "militia groups defying federal agents" thing is really cool, whatever the reason.

[Frumple]

... considering the general constituency of militia groups in the states (or at least every single one I've personally had the misfortune of encountering members thereof), no, no it's not. Somewhat terrifying, but not cool.

[Yoink]

No idea what you mean. Considering the alternative, yes, yes it is.

This is a pretty.. scary mindset, to say the least. I don't think you've seen much of the US, mate. Did you even read the links on the last page?

The alternative being...what, exactly?
