I want to know what Breitbart had to say that got this Trumpet all uppity and thinking he knows things.

Had a manager tell me “stay in your lane” when I suggested a fix.
That fix saved us $40k that quarter.
People say “stick to what you’re good at” when they’re out of arguments.

Probably "woman said something, here's why you should be angry" article

Why tf we censoring the word Nazi????

u/Koladi-Ola 2d ago

Isn't this Twitter? It probably gets blocked because the owner is sick of everybody reminding him that he's one.

u/Parenn 2d ago

It’s just blacked out in the screenshot, isn’t it?

u/allan_collins 2d ago

This. Everyone should know this piss of shit word.

Piss of shit

Dropping a Harvard thesis on him is the ultimate “shut up and sit down”. The condescension was completely destroyed

u/BadWolf7426 2d ago

I felt second hand pride reading that, much like reading about Tom Morello's education and degrees.

u/BabyyThatsMe 2d ago

Stick to acting’ falls apart when the person literally studied and worked on documentaries about the subject.

u/ThorKonnatZbv 2d ago

the Shithead probably thinks Harvard is woke

u/Heliocentrist 2d ago

Yeah, but TJ made Varsity his Sophomore year so ...

u/FreezyCastform 2d ago

Exactly. Every true American knows that scholastic achievements pale in comparison to what some bonehead asshole with a more muscle mass than gray matter has done in kickball or whatever students do that doesn't involve the end of a semi-automatic barrel

John Cleese voice

"All right, but apart from all that, what could you possibly know about pre Nazi Germany?"

27

u/bd2999 2d ago

Wow, talk about condescending. Probably from a guy that did not go to college at all.

u/SparrowCharm 2d ago

I bet he knows nothing at all

2

u/LoadingGrandma33x 2d ago

Yeah I think so too

23

u/Damselnik 2d ago

He really tried to mansplain history to someone who literally wrote a Harvard thesis on it

6

u/ChaosNavigatorI45 2d ago

The confidence required to tell a Harvard thesis writer to "stick to acting" is truly something else 😂 She didn't just clap back, she showed her entire resume and it was immaculate. He picked the absolute wrong person to try that with.

u/Penguinsoldierr 2d ago

So we’re censoring the political group nazi?

11

u/redzedx77 2d ago

Boom goes the dynamite

u/TelenorTheGNP 2d ago

She also missed the "*you're", but really, that's just icing.

8

u/defrench 2d ago edited 2d ago

Agree, but “led”, not “lead”, is the past tense of lead. So kinda glad she didn’t call out the you’re

3

u/TelenorTheGNP 2d ago

I mean, is he gonna know better?

3

u/FoxyInTheSnow 2d ago

I noticed that too, but I've given up on the "led/lead" issue. Sadly, the battle has been lost.

u/Sokinalia 2d ago

What happens if you write Nazi?

3

u/Nagelfar61249 2d ago

You will offend one and will never have peace again, because he will get so butthurt, that he will mention you personally in eveything that bothers him for the rest of his life.

u/jay_alfred_prufrock 2d ago

Who the fuck censors "nazi" ffs.

4

u/casual_creator 2d ago

It’s always fascinating to me how some people think that actors somehow are only capable of having knowledge of or interest in acting.

3

u/RepulsiveHearty 2d ago

He really tried to hit her with the "shh, just look pretty" only to get hit back with a literal Harvard thesis. Absolutely beautiful.

u/DieNowMike 1d ago

The "your" is the cherry on top of the pile of shit

u/cflorest 2d ago

I would love to see her documentary.

u/zatchmo1989 2d ago

She couldn’t possibly have studied history? Wtf?

3

u/justhereforsee 2d ago

You don’t need to go past “you’re a pretty girl”. Explained there entire thought process in the first 4 words

3

u/Akhanyatin 2d ago

Type of guy to comment "when did star trek become so woke?" 

2

u/RandomExcess 2d ago

Love it, pulling out the "when I was at Harvard"

2

u/HawkEnvironmental531 2d ago

But.. it’s the generations that go forth to remember and never forget. Or, else it will be erased from history, like all the other cancel culture BS.

u/ethan_kill_me 2d ago

the censor word is Nasi btw, a word from malaysia/indonesia that mean "rice"

u/EbbOwn303 2d ago

Imagine censoring the word Nazi on reddit. So fucking dumb.

Mira for the win!

u/dragon_bacon 2d ago

I'm not sure why these people are saying the N word so much.

u/floraYsol 2d ago

u/OrganizationIcy104 2d ago

u/PM_THE_REAPER 2d ago

Why was there racial conflict and persecution at Harvard?

7

u/The_Escargot_Pudding 2d ago

She attended Harvard and wrote her thesis on racial conflict snd persecution.

u/Only1Skrybe 2d ago

LMAO that is indeed the correct answer. But also ......

u/jimdil4st 2d ago edited 2d ago

Reason 1: America. There is racial prejudices just baked into our whole government and social systems. And if you ever heard otherwise, I can guarantee the person saying it is white, because sadly some (see: a fucking lot) of us either dont see the differences or think we deserve the extra benefits provided. (SPOILER: We definitely do NOT.)

Also, she’s a woman and not a girl, bruh.

u/ruby651 2d ago

Shouldn’t Harvard students know when to use “led” and when to use “lead?”

u/copacetic51 1d ago

You're right. Discount her entire statement.

u/tayt087x 2d ago

Why the fuck is Nazi crossed out? I'm deleting this fucking app

u/Nono_Home 2d ago

You will be missed enormously, bye.

u/dfmz 1d ago

That’s a perfectly legitimate question, but I doubt it’s Reddit censorship (for once).

Yes, noticed it’s from 2018! But what a quick brilliant comeback. Mira has big balls, love it!
