At the Nats-Orioles Beltway Series today, someone unfurled a white nationalist “replacement” banner. It was taken down, thankfully, because baseball already suffers enough from bad umpires and $17 beer without adding bargain-bin fascism. #Nats #Orioles #BeltwaySeries #MLB #NoHate #GFY

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."
And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, 1 noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."
And i was like, ohok and he continues.
"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments becaus their end goal is to be terrible, awful people." And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

Your assertion. Getting emotional and name/calling is classic rage in the RW’er.

A side-by-side comparison of Grok and ChatGPT reveals some subtle, suggestive realism between the two.

It was a squeaker, regardless of what he says he’s always a sore winner, and a bad loser.
