Investigators tell News 9, they believe Anthony Tyler Mitchell is the man seen on surveillance footage destroying the power supply to News 9’s NextGen Live radar in Northeast Oklahoma City Sunday night.
If nothing else, they should consider that they are just wasting their money, money spent on the mod, and money spent on wasting fuel / engine / exhaust damage. Money they could use to buy more beer.
It's because Steve bought a Toyota Prius, so he has to counter Steve by spending $4,000 to make his truck blow smoke everywhere. Because fuck Steve! He's a free thinker! Steve isn't gonna tell him what to do!
They're literally that easy to manipulate. At this point, we should just organize so-called "leftist actions" that are just bait for them to waste their time/money trying to counter. Because they will, they absolutely fucking will. See the picture above and the videos of morons burning sports jerseys or shooting 24-packs of Bud Lite.
I fucking love cars and bikes and things that go fast and loud! Have I laid down rubber while doing massive burnouts? Yes. Have I modified exhaust systems to run straight pipes? Also yes. (But I've also adjusy my engine tune to realize the gains that running straight pipes gets you... But that's another subject altogether)
... All that being said, rolling coal is fucking stupid, even by my standards. It makes zero sense other than to be obnoxious.
Rolling coal is like walking up to the company picnic and shitting in the potato salad and shouting "does that make you mad, libtard?!" when people complain.
You're just ruining someone else's time because you tied your personality to being a dick to get reactions.
It's not just stupid. Back in the 90s i knew plenty of 'im a dumbfuck' hippies and mountain-people who knew it, and said things like "i don't vote. I don't know what the hell any of this is, and my voice wont improve your government" or "i don't understand that geopolitics shit. I vote for the guy id trust around my daughter. So.... I think carter? I voted for carter.". They would be, like juggalos or something today. Politically speaking. In fact im certain some are.
Theres also the 'hood politics' approach-a podcast explaining politics in terms of high school drama and growing up in a rough neighborhood, with the central vibe being 'the difference is the distances involved and the outfits. If you understand that, you understand all of politics.'
The problem is malevolent anti intellectualism. The problem is engineered blindness. The problrm isn't stupid stupid, it's weaponized stupid. Its autodehumanization. It's tribalism and fear and... Things too complex to explain here, but involving a fear or mistrust of understanding and those who do it, and a kind of relentless self loathing you couldnt really do when a dumb guy could just fuck off to his wood shop and make something useful and beautiful given enough time.
We are living in a period of anti-science irrationality, tied with the rise of global fascism.
A significant portion of the US’s population (roughly 1 in 5) believes in Q-anon, Wayfair child trafficking conspiracies, “Frazzledrip” (a supposed video where Hillary Clinton murders a child and drinks their blood for ‘adrenochrome’), etc etc.
I believe Lauren Boebart posted shit about the weather weapons on her Twitter. A good chunk of our elected officials believe this insanity too (remember how fluoridation programs just got nixed). The Oklahoma state GOP platform literally includes a desire to shut down 5G.
This is the exact kind of shit that makes me question my previous belief of free speech absolutism. Letting these people do this has zero societal benefits.
