Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Why does the media act like radical is not cool?

The entire Republican Party has been called radical and Nazi for a while so I’m not sure it really means all that much

Radical post, bro.
It's because they commandeer terms.
Woke is the complete opposite. The term gained popularity with the Matrix, Morpheus, and the blue-pill/red-pill scene. It took root in the nascent and started to actually work. The apparatus then commandeered it.
The same thing happened in the 60's with the "counter-culture" movement. What is the root word of culture?
The same thing they were pushing.as counter-culture.
Same thing happens with the term progressive. There is nothing progressive about those policies. Yet they commandeered the term.

The point I was trying to make is that maybe we should start taking back the term radical - we can play word games too. Prob just a matter of months until this site gets targeted for being a home of Radicalization, and we should be ready to thank them for their kind statements.
Is that the second most interesting man in the world? - @quickfeet
No, it is actually Captain Obvious
