@AnthonyJK@blogdiva Biden never ~never~ respected personal space, especially women - from his "gaffs" to far worse. And it's inline with accusations from decades ago about harassment and assault.
"The world is spinning like nothing's wrong, Hating every single day I'm taking on! I'll cut you to pieces, I'll give it a go. 'Cause the point is clear: Slay your enemies."
I saw a 'moderate' white fuck talk about how trumpians waving nazi flags is just trolling, like Borat. (if actually a moderate, and not a fucking nazi in sheep clothing!)
I don't find Borat funny for the most part, but I do appreciate the art it is. It's kind of beautiful.
I don't find nazis worth the shit I step in when I walk through a dog park.
Never let them tell you they are the same. One wants you to think, the other wants you dead.
Borat - Sacha Baron Cohen's character - is a troll and creates comedy by highjinks and miscommunication. It's done from a place of love & truth.
Trump supporters - aka nazis - flying a nazi flag but claiming it's trolling or to annoy the libs - that's not trolling. That's not comedy. That's terrorism being disguised by their claims of comedy. That's intimidation, and exuberant threats of violence and more,.
It's made "ok" only if you prefer civility over punching a motherfucking nazi.
Every time I see a Trump ally or appointee that's now shouting about him being a fascist or absolute criminal - my mind takes a trip to 4+ years ago when they talked about how he was perfectly fine. How they were proud to work with the criminal fascist and never doubted his dedication to (white) America!
If you're turncoating against the bloatedfuck at least apologize to the millions you helped oppress and the hundreds of thousands you helped kill before you give yourself a pat on the back.
There is nothing good about the US that hasn't been forced on it by progressives.
Liberation was won by war and violence. Voting rights were gained by riots and violence. Equality via sabotage, strikes & more violence.
I think about that alot, when I think about how to get real safety - not copaganda & surveillance-state - actual safety, like fighting white supremacy, climate change, corporate violence, or billionaire villainy.
Either state violence or revolutionary violence is needed.
Incompetent supervillains, aka billionaires, are going to be the thing that keeps us from surviving the future they've created. Not because of luck or happenstance, but because they have enough money to force politicians to not do the things needed to survive. [sighs]
Oh hey, those Jan6 anti-democracy rioters and terrorists are vowing to overthrow the government again! Like every one said they would on Jan7 if we didn't fucking nail them all to a gods damn wall.
Huh.
Who could of possibly predicted?
I mean aside from nearly half the fucking nation talking about a failed coup without consequences just being practice for the next one. But I mean aside from that 180 million people.. who could of known!
"So much for the tolerant left" and similar conservative snark is a psyop. They imagine it requires tolerance to be a progressive or leftist. We only tolerate diversity, justice & change, in their minds. But it makes their argument for them when it's used by others.
It sneaks in the idea that 'you're still a bigot, you just tolerate this nonsense' or 'you're just pretending to care, we see you'; it's cultural conditioning disguised as mockery.
The insane history of Dr. Kellogg and his war against masturbation and human 'deviancy' is one the most succinctly American forms of batshit lunatic normalcy I've ever stumbled across.
This fuckless nutless madman could be the poster child for the 1900-1920's "Progressive Movement' - and think of him every time I see bizarre ideas like anti-vaxers, raw water or sun bleaching; I imagine some ghost of the doctor nodding and mumbling about how it's all about 'proper healthful practices'.
@hannu_ikonen I'm livid about the fuckless donors and eldritch party elders holding the election-vs-nazis hostage - but I hope to whatever fucking gods of politics that this focus is shared with everyone!
@gwynnion Same as every racist motherfucker that desperately wants to create a 'safe space for bigots' to allow themselves to say the n-word with no consequences.
Do not argue with nazis. Do not argue with klansmen. Do not argue with the alt-right.
They don't believe anything except* (*edit) they are right. You can not convince them through argument that they are wrong. They won't 'see the light' or 'accept the truth' - they'll just scoff and dig deeper into their cognitive dissonance.
This includes your racist uncle. And JK Rowling. And Musk-fans. And that fuckwit at the water cooler.
