Hail Athe, God of Doubt.

Personally, I'm more into worshipping Agnost, God of Indecision, but Athe is a pretty cool God, too. And Agnost would agree with me that Athe may or may not exist.

I went and had a sex change just so I could grow a mustache and look like Stalin. Then I built a boat ramp so terrorist muslim biker shark refugees could more easily enter, steal our jobs and ruin our way of life. Probably by building wind farms.

I don't even have to make things up: pedaled my bike to work, got a free lunch, over which I had a rousing debate with my union bretheren on such topics as effective methods of gun control, the need to impose tighter regulations on telecommunications conglomerates, the ways Obamacare does not do half enough, and the logistics issues our employer is not adequately adressing with the recycling program and installation of LED bulbs. Then I pedaled home and drank craft beer from a local microbrewery.

Edit: I forgot the part where I spent sixty bucks on new LED lighting for my own petsonal use.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

I dunno. It's like how there are very few good conservative comedians and lots of very funny centrist and leftist comedians. Certain world views are hard to do humor with. The best jokes about socialists are made and told by socialists.

Another issue is that every Hitler video I've seen about the Den has been made by someone who lost an argument and then ran off to be butthurt. So its full of strawmen and not really on point. I mean, Shitmuffin's quotes are accurate, but he was in the middle of completely flaming out after having failed a challenge he set himself. Princess' quotes are accurate but he was in the middle of having completely failed to reconcile his views on government with basic defenses of child welfare.

A good Hitler video is made after you win an argument. To collect your most epic put-downs and put them into the mouth of Hitler. Which is obviously problematic in that you are kind of Godwinning yourself. But the point is to be funny, and it can achieve that if the putdowns are funny enough. Another good Hitler video can be made in response to bad news, where Hitler is venting frustration about the events in question (in line with the original events in Downfall, but with like the cancellation of a beloved video game series or something rather than the collapse of the Third Reich's defenses being discussed).

It's not that there isn't material for a Hitler video on the Den. It's that the people who make Hitler vs. Den videos are coming from a bad place for constructing argument or comedy.

Yeah, when I saw the Zak VS the Gaming Den video I assumed they were trying to somehow subvert the typical method by putting the incoherent crybaby's words into Hitler's mouth.

Yeah I legitimately did not realize on my first watch that zak was supposed to be the guy who was in the right until much later, when I watched other Hitler videos.

For all we know his bisexual poly girlfriend is actually Satan or the Virgin Mary. In which case their weird kinky sex probably made baby Jesus cry. Did you harvest his tears, Count? Jesus tears are delicious. I'll trade you a few embryonic stem cells and a signed copy of An Inconvenient Truth for them.

Actually the anti-vaccers exist across the political spectrum being neither a wholly left nor right cause. With the greatest clusters of people opting out residing in liberal bastions like Northern San Francisco. At least that's the case here in the US.

I know anti-vaxxers are a special kind of crazy found across the political spectrum, but I needed to come up with something that sounded like something Randroids and teabaggers would be afraid of. In retrospect I probably should've said I was giving vaccines out in an Obamacare death panel or something.

You were serving on an Obamacare death panel and pulled the plug on some sweet mostly healthy grandmothers because their treatment was a few pennies too high in cost despite the misguided and futile efforts of their insurance companies to stop you.

I quit my job so I could make more money on welfare and used my new Obama-phone to set up a bunch of doctor appointments for fun with my new Obama care. While waiting for the third of my eight appointments, today (for fun), I created a parody religion more preposterous than Pastafarianism, and convinced all the Christian children to follow it. Then I put kale on all my food.

The problem is, most conservatives vote that way either because they're super rich and it's in their best interest, or because they're not, but they've bought into all the lies and rhetoric that convinces them that liberals are even worse. So, your two options for jokes are:
  • Tell a bunch of "Then let them eat cake" jokes that 1% of people won't find super offensive.
  • Tell jokes based on outright fabrications, which makes them sound more like non-sequitur humor rather than observational jokes. "Why do liberal eat babies, amirite?"
Neither work real well.

I spent all morning having sex with a random woman I met, and then the afternoon letting immigrants across the border. I also bought a mansion with all the welfare money I got after loosing my job!
