   sick of the press doing the 'how can the far right be surging when all we've done is platform them without cease, without interruption and let them openly lie and incite with very little pushback on every channel for the last ~20 years' kayfabe.

   They're surging because you fucking marketed them non-stop, you are their biggest cheerleaders and you deserve nothing but scorn and misery for it.

     @glencoe this is the first time I've seen wrestling terms used in a completely non-wrestling context. Genuinely curious if non-wrestling fans will wonder what you mean.🤭

     @peachfront @glencoe hmm. What country are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

     Kayfabe is definitely a wrestling term and I'm from the US and Im almost positive that if I asked a non-wrestling fan here, the chances of them knowing what it means are very slim.

     everybody knows what kayfabe is...

     (source-- not a wrestling fan, just a little old lady, & i've known what it is for decades)

     BeAware :fediverse: repeated this.

     @peachfront @glencoe 🤣🤣it's a small world, I'm in Louisiana as well. Southern folks will almost always know SOMETHING about wrestling, I feel. It was more prevalent in the south back in the 70s and 80s than in the north.

     I had no idea what kayfabe meant.

     UK, not interested in any competitive sports, but do remember Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, and their ilk on Saturday afternoon TV in the 70s.
