conflicted on the newsom thing not because i give a shit abt decency & social media strategy (lol). i find his trump mockery cathartic but also lame (reads to me as newsom’s desperation to be the main character rather than toward a coherent politics) & yet dems should be unleashed & fighting online!

The man said Trump hit the streets of DC before any Dem politicians did, and you said, "Nuh-uh! The protesters are Democrats!!1!" Just give up. You're a clown who can't read.

To see the MAGA grifters like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Riley Gaines taking Putin's words as an affirmation is so validating — like you said, they're either knowingly, obviously lying or they're utter fucking idiots.

Some people get mad when you tell them crime in their city is better than it used to be and I think that's because they use crime as justification for why they're so scared all the time.

I was hooked from the opening scene with the confrontation between the native cops and the sheriff about masking. I feel like a whole 2 hour conversation could be had about just that small interaction and how it rang so true. And the movie is full of those types of interactions!!

I'm not in favor of shooting people. I really am a wussie woman of peace. But it feels like a moment of sanity to see people reacting to horrific violence with violence of their own. Of course people will fight back against ICE. They started it. That's what happens. That's how it works.

It's one of the things that annoys me about those careless atheists — they tend not to know any Christians personally, so it's really easy for them to misrepresent and generalize.
Christian Alexander (@christian-a.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly, probably the only thing that keeps me from being reactionary online towards Christians that I'm married to a fairly conservative Christian and still friends with several in real life. Keeps me honest and realistic!

given a lot of thought to where they've ended up. And we tend to be pretty frustrated with those in the former group who called themselves atheists but could just as easily be emotionally manipulated back into the religion they left on an emotional whim. 2/2
Christian Alexander (@christian-a.bsky.social) reply parent
To further elaborate, there are certainly tons of people who experience hurt from Christians and then react against the church, calling themselves atheists without ever really having good reasons for what they believe or don't. But the atheist community™ is pretty full of people who have 1/2
Christian Alexander (@christian-a.bsky.social) reply parent
Not to be all "no true scotsman," but I think maybe you could say that's true of reactionary, non-intellectual atheism, but the vast, vast majority of reasoned atheists I have encountered online have very thoughtful, respectable reasons apart from any church hurt they may have experienced.

I know it's unpopular because of times in the past the word was used flippantly, but I genuinely think this is true and should be stated more. They are getting more and more overt in their disdain and hatred for non-white people. We should call it what it is: Naziism.

We don't talk enough about how Christopher Rufo has proven himself to be the Joseph Goebbels of America's modern fascist takeover. The referencing of CRT and DEI in official government decrees from the Trump administration can be traced directly to his work throughout 2021 & 2022.

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.
