The right are a bunch of whiny pussies who want to force us all to kiss ass they way they do.
i just know we're all going to have to sit through a three minute clip of joe rogan saying "i can't believe censorship is happening"
keep capitulating. i'm sure they won't keep moving the line.
They've lost /r/conspiracy, which may seem like a silly "so what" unless you've spent time watching these sorts of places swing incredibly far-right over the last several years. These communities deciding the GOP has gone nuts is a bigger portent than it may seem!
LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he wonât work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. Iâm hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.
âAs an independent journalist, Iâm trying to see a glimmer of opportunity on this scorched Earth. Maybe this move has blown the hinges off the doors at long last. Maybe, after years of layoffs, restructures and mergers, a greater swath of people will understand that we must try something different.â
One thing that canât be remarked upon often enough is just how cringeworthy JD Vance is. The unfunniest unfunny person in American politics, stunningly uncomfortable in his own skin and with other humans, surely an artifact of how many times heâs reinvented himself & how he doesnât know who he is.
itâs nice to see they arenât pretending itâs anything other than blatant government censorship i suppose
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I've heard some people say they won't give up Disney because of their kids. You could instead use this as a teaching moment. This is why we are here. Get on board or get out of the way.
How does this all square with all their years of insisting on the importance of free speech? That's very simple, they were lying
Asmongold's dad's last message to Hasan was "Happy Birthday." RIP to a hasanabihead
Swalwell: Thereâs going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because youâre going to be in this room answering questions
Not to kick everything while itâs down, but this is exactly why everyone was warning you not to act like Disney was your best friend and a champion of sensible politics when Florida Republicans were fucking around with DisneyWorld last year
The Trump administrationâs cruel immigration enforcement tactics are recklessly endangering all Illinoisians, including hardworking immigrants and US citizens. This isn't the nation I know or grew up in â know your rights, stand up, and speak out.
If Jimmy Kimmel had made comments about killing homeless people via involuntary lethal injection. Heâd still have a job.
I donât have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because theyâre âscared.â People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence wonât protect you but it emboldens them
at dinner today my niece (age 5 1/2) wanted to know if we were eating wolf meat. not sure where she got the idea we'd have wolf for dinner. we had reindeer, and i told her wolves would eat reindeer, which didn't impress her at all, she wanted to eat a wolf.
Unusually strong language from the former president who has kept out of the fray for the most part.
People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individualityđłď¸ââ§ď¸đłď¸âđ No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each otherâĄ
This also relates to what conservatives despise and are offended by: being judged by the content of their character. Yet they are fine with broad-sweeping bigotry. It's why they screech to the heavens about how the former is a violation of free speech, but try to invoke free speech on the latter.
Of course they don't believe in free speech, esp as designated in the 1st Amendment, and never did. Pointing out their hypocrisy and disingenuousness will get nowhere. They know and are proud hypocrites and cowards. What we need to ask is what we do in response to that. Reaching out isn't an option
For example, they know the FCC and Trump applied state pressure to literally cancel Kimmel, and want that expanded to private citizens, ex: trying to go after folks over Charlie Kirk. They relish in the opportunity to enact state suppression. Their only guiding principle is "hurt the people I hate".
As when they try to invoke free speech or 1st amendment, you see they bury the lede on what exactly is the root of conflict. That being, outward, malicious displays of bigotry. They think they're being cute or clever with "freedom of speech not freedom of consequences", it's not even congruent.
You know, the thing about this "cancel culture" pretense the right is using is their guys never faced lasting consequences for their behavior unless it was criminal (and even then). The most "canceled" were by their own audience. Cowardice and dishonesty are fundamental characteristics of the right.
as hard as Kamala ate shit last November she could have ended up doing a lot worse
Weak buncha snowflakes "No, you can't joke about this, you can't mischaracterize the shooters-" Shut up You joked about a man having his head caved in with a hammer You made up a story that they were gay lovers and it was a lovers quarrel Shut the fuck up Shut the absolute fuck up you weak bitch
It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.
It couldnât happen to a better company. đ¤
it looks like the only way to have honest media is directly support them. i currently subscribe to WIRED and rolling stone, and about to subscribe to 404 media. any other WOKE and antifa media orgs i should support?
Anyway it is outrageous that the country is now cancelling comedians and also Jimmy Kimmel
great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system
Fallon being the last man standing is such an indictment of Fallon
Since Antifa is now designed as a terrorist organization it will be interesting to see how they determine who is a member and how they prove it is an organization.
ABC Is Doing Cancel Culture the Right Way by Ezra Klein
Trump in July: "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.â
This isnât just! Itâs unconstitutional! Itâs hypocritical! Itâs immoral! Itâs illegal! Itâs wrong! Itâs unprecedented! They donât care about any of those things. They laugh at handwringing. Itâs about acquiring & wielding power. You canât shame them, you have to defeat them.
Also, the way these companies are caving to the current administration, I never want to hear anyone gripe about "the liberal media" ever again, because in mass media terms, that doesn't exist.
I told them I'm canceling Disney+ unless Jimmy goes back on air. I'll tell my kids that Mickey Mouse killed a guy, I don't care.
A timeline in which I have to rally behind Jimmy Kimmel. Dark times, indeed.
iâm gonna fuckin lose it
I am once again begging Chuck Schumer to give his position of power to someone who understands the stakes of the moment that has the will to fight.
Yes. We. Are. God fucking damn it, Chuck. You fucking simp.
Schumer... Complicit? Collaborator? Or idiot?
Chuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmelâs suspension, that âwe are not that country.â Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.
i think the capacity debate around authoritarianism really underscores how defund the police was fundamentally correct. the biggest lurking danger in america right now is the mass federalization of local LEO like theyâre trying to do in florida
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesnât like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
Becoming increasingly clear weâre gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
Sam Harris has a lot to answer for
This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.
that's because Hakeem is a fucking coward.
Iâm so grateful for todayâs endorsement from Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. Itâs been an honor to serve in the majority conference he leads in Albany and I look forward to the important work we can accomplish together for the people of New York City.
Hakeem Jeffries, man, you're getting lapped
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and heâd still have a job.
I was talking with my therapist about this yesterday but one of the most triggering parts of all the death threats wasn't the threats themselves per se. I was more worried for Mercy than myself. It was that the rhetoric was JUST. SO. CLOSE. to what I grew up in.
If any political group is willing to sacrifice LGBTQIA folks to get ahead they will sacrifice anyone, and I will not support them.
it kinda feels like the vast majority of the population is rejecting fascism like someone is trying to shove a giant turd down their throat while everyone in elite circles is at worst lying down and showing their bellies and often are enthusiastically participating in the fascism
I think itâs fine to speak ill of the dead especially when the dead were really big pieces of shit
Listen, someday we're going to prevent sensence and aging. We'll be, biologically at least, immortal. And it'll bring a whole new set of crisis' & joys, as all big changes do. But what's not going to happen is that we're going to get that from some tech guru looking at his kids dick.
Jimmy Kimmel has 20 million YouTube subscribers and 13.6 billion lifetime video views. This is something that could wake up a lot of people to what is happening.
This was after Colbert was canceled. Which was two months ago.
[Updates total number of Dems I've seen make statements in support of trans people in the past week to... 1]
âfascist government controls media and bans dissentâ is a straightforward description of whatâs happening in the united states
See ya, Hulu.
The 16 year old Colorado school shooter posted his gun on Twitter before he committed the act. This happened the same day as a the Kirk shooting. Why isnât the CEO of Twitter being summoned?
lol
Bill Cassidy behaved today as he should have behaved during RFK Jr.âs confirmation. The problem is that now he canât unring the bell. His actions in confirming Kennedy and convincing others to do so has already caused irreparable damage to science and public health in the United States.
lol new clown car just rolled up
Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all đ¤ â www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...
I think one of Ezra Klein's big problems is that when he says "doing politics" what he actually means is content creation
Ezra Klein chalking up racism to disagreements feels incredibly emblematic of why weâre here in this position at this moment in time
Hosts of Newsmax and Fox News shows are still claiming the alleged shooter of MN legislators was a leftist. They are trying to make the case that all political violence is on the left to justify its repression.
It is pretty funny that Uncommitted was pretty much exactly what establishmentarian-inclined liberals purport to prefer (intra-partisan organizing undergirded by the explicit premise of party loyalty) and they hated it anyway
Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.
On a related note, I got Persona 5 Strikers at a discounted price sometime back for the PC. So...I like the game, but it runs poorly on PC. I had to change a lot of settings just to make it run less choppy, but not always smoothly. In any case, I have beaten that game and gotten all the trophies!
Pure evil not a grieving widow
Even amazing lawyers can't change the fact that deceased individuals (or their estates) cannot bring defamation lawsuits.
No acrobatics necessary to distance âthe leftâ from the murderer. It now appears to me that he held a vague & simplistic version of leftism to which he applied *his own* murder logic. That murder logic is his, not yours or mine. He isnât âmineâ to apologize for. I condemn as I would any murderer.
also if you do want a smart door lock for whatever reason what you definitely dont want to do is have an obvious smart lock. its literally just screaming "i could be easy to bypass" at everyone who cares to notice
Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough
It turns out centrists who call themselves liberals want right wing things
And there it is. It's merely a project of the billionaire oligarchs to create controlled opposition.
They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant. Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.
Dating a trans person doesn't make you a radical leftist. And in my experience, a whole lot of far right people secretly hook up with trans people. It's not new. How many prominent pastors raged against the gays were found having sex with men? It's stunning hypocrisy.
OK, after a long time of preparing I fought Dark Anima...not as hard as I thought it'd be. I maybe overprepared. So for my FFX playthrough this time all that is left are the Magus Sisters and Penance, then I just finish the main story, the latter which is gonna be a breeze at this point.
Trans rights are human rights.
If having a trans partner is supposedly radicalizing people into leftists, why are a huge portion of DC Republicans having sex with trans women? They demonize trans people on socials, podcasts, and the floor of the House by day then proceed to solicit sex with them at night.
LOL fuck that guy! You got what you voted for, you dumb mark. A three-time sucker.
Trump is in those files more than we can probably imagine, for the most part. Likely so deeply in what Epstein is doing it is impossible for him not to be incriminated if those files are released in full. He's 200% a sexual predator and trafficker and his feud w/ Epstein over their shared "product".
lol come on
So much a result of the Biden Administration's incompetence and their own corruption. Biden himself in addition being asleep at the wheel. The purchase of Twitter, the Tiktok ban, and various mergers occurred in his single term. The consequences of a weak, inept president is a weak, inept party.
It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right
all levels of media in the united states is controlled by the far right tech oligarch now
Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said. Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldnât find any. Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.
