Youve gotta assume these people are just taking for granted the idea that these coming elections will not be free and fair. They know they're gonna try to steal the midterms and they're confident
There are no compelling conservative speakers if by "compelling" you mean capable of articulating a coherent argument. If you want racist sophistry, sure, go with Murray
Yeah, he's still by far the best at this bsky.app/profile/atru...
It's not just that more sincere progressives who want to challenge the old order will emerge, it's also the case that the ass kissing lanyard kids that dominate Democratic politics will look for easier paths to power and status
If we ever get something close to Democracy again, to the extent it existed, it will be interesting to see what kind of politicians percolate up as these spineless careerists pivot away from the previously cushy world of a professional Democratic politician circa 1990-2024.
I know it's a tough situation but if you want to be the big boss lady of DC you need to act like it
Into the trash heap with this one
Pritzker has been good on messaging but he still wants to fall back on this "cover up" language. He isn't trying to distract from corruption, he's proud of that. He is trying to establish the infrastructure for martial law (and Pritzker has acknowledged this). Just a nit pick
I have a strong suspicion that this stupid announcement would've been a Truth Social post but they wanted to show people he wasn't dead, lol
Did you guys actually think Trump was on the precipice of death?
Would love them to be a little specific about what "goes on" means because I'm pretty sure it's just people working, eating, sleeping, etc like every other inhabited place on Earth
This is an example pundit brain where every utterance is assumed to be part of some grand strategy when in reality most people want to be able to say "I'd rather not vote for an open bigot" because it's cathartic to do so
If I ever make a statement about who I'm voting for it is in no way some sort of electoral shaming strategy and treating such posts as if they are is fundamentally mistaken. It's a simple expression of an opinion on a platform designed for expressing and discussing different opinions
My biggest gripe with the blue sky discourse is the idea that it's an echo chamber of leftists that is impenetrable to centrists when in reality it's about as contentious between the left and center as Old Twitter was, there's just fewer outright Nazis
Anyone who says "80/20" issue is unserious about politics and what polls do/tell you
I wonder what they'll be called
Behold, the intellectual titan of tech-fascism
bsky.app/profile/jame... This guy is extra dumb because even if i granted that we MUST get more people on bluesky his suggestion is "people should just individually decide to be nicer" like it's his first day on the fucking internet. Also, "wrongthink" goddamn man get an original thought
Look if welcoming in Nazis is what keeps this place afloat let it sink
So what's the proper term when referring to all native peoples of the two continents previously undiscovered by Eurasians and Africans?
Please leave
People share polls of Trump having like a 40% approval rating like that isn't horrifyingly high
And they say there wasn't a summer song of 2025
No clue but his agenda is obvious
And corporate media just follows along, because what's most important is staying in the regime's good graces for the sake of their profits, safety and because they simply agree with him
But that's the strategy, destroy public life entirely. Allow no free pedestrian areas to exist, all movement must be circumscribed and surveilled. This isn't even a fantasy, this is what these Network State freaks want to turn this society into and they figure this is the regime to do it
Hey, yeah, dipshit, if we all dig holes in the ground and never left them crime would be 0%. What if each person had an assigned military escort to accompany them wherever they go, I bet that would get crime down too!
Corporate media is equally complicit for n the rise of American fascism and people like this should be put in trial during Nuremberg 2.
Gavin Newsome has been hyped as a future presidential candidate since he was mayor of San Francisco and you can really tell who the people who live and die by corporate media are because they're absolutely enthralled by the narratives and expectations corporate media concocts, of which this is one
I cannot believe this was actually posted in 2025, this seems like long established twitter cannon at this point
Every dipshit in Silicon Valley's entire vision for the future is based on science fiction they half understand. They're utterly incapable of creating something useful in this world because they don't have a relationship with it
There are a lot of frustratingly relatable and adorable aspects of a man who is largely responsible for a genocide
Yeah, Arch just has an inordinately difficult time with routine shallow crossing routes for some reason
👀👀
Lights a lil bright for Arch
Texas just doesn't have the boys up front to square up against an elite D Line on the goal line
Looking good, sir
He can attack Trump all he wants, me calling him a worthless piece of human filth doesn't impede that. And he is a worthless piece of human filth
JD Vance has died
The important thing is to joke real loud about it so that it filters up to the Very Online administration. Just want em to know how happy we'd be if he, and by extension all of them, died
It just sucks that they got the judiciary stacked and passed the ICE police state bill. They won't be a competent party and who knows what the infighting is gonna look like, but they basically did the things they've wanted to do
He's either gonna die before 2026 or in 20 years, I'm sorry to say this
"why does the Jewish man talk about the Jewish experience?" is a take, I guess. I thought Friedland's discussion of the mental agony of seeing this being done in the name of Judaism absolutely met the moment, can't imagine being upset about that
He doesn't need to "seize power", he's the VP. Wtf is this?
He needs to set himself up for it, though, that's just how it works when the president dies
People really underestimate the ability of decrepit bodies to cling to life for long periods of time. Especially when they have access to the best medical care.
"ThE gUy WhO oWnS tHe TeAm CaNt FiRe HiMsElF" what fucking point does he think made? We all know Jones is an idiot who can act with no repurcussions
Chuck just doesn't have it in him to message effectively
Keshia is probably a very, very sweet and kind person but what they don't understand is that you don't beat goodness into a person, you beat out the feeling that they can be open bigots. You can't make the racists less racist, but you can shove them back in the hole
Fetterman had been working in politics for years too. They aren't similar in any way except that they're both big white guys
Once you become Rich Guy you throw away your humanity by default
It would be so cool to get into a sport and not have most of its competitors, coaches, pundits etc be reactionary boobs
Because they see him up close
God won't let me be happy
The whole "Marxism is a religion" thing is a straw man used to justify not learning about it. To the extent there is a choice about what kind of evidence and analysis you use to understand the world it's no different than any other explanatory mechanism. There is no view from nowhere
Maybe most of these came during the aughts? A little easier back then
USC is an absolutely schizophrenic program so going 100% on them seems pretty impressive tbqh
End it
End it
Never eat an oyster harvested south of Maine
I would not be one bit surprised if it turned out Matty Y is just a straight up Republican op
Can't even imagine what Lars Ulrich's whole deal is in the year 2025. Just doesn't seem like a year he should exist in. Im not saying I want him dead, he's just a weird anachronism who can't play drums
Not only is it acceptable, you have a moral duty to cut off Nazis from your life. It's a tough pill to swallow, but as the old saying goes if you have 1 Nazi at a table of ten people you have ten Nazis, even if it's the family dinner table.
Sometimes truly sociopathic people engage in it too but for very different reasons
The whole ironic detachment but is actually a way to compartmentalize a viciously cruel world. Very often the people most associated with it are deeply empathetic people because without it they'd be in a constant state of blistering rage or despair.
Adam Friedland’s Ritchie Torres interview really captures the phenomenon where at the end of the day, a lot of smartasses have way more moral clarity than the people who harumph about how immature they are
Sad to hear, he doesn't understand that mathematics and sociology aren't engaging in the same kind of knowledge building. It's only a funny little joke if you don't understand the nature of science
Another part of it is the apolitical mindset of people engaged in the sciences. Until recently people lived under the illusion that politics was something "over there", a compartmentalized aspect of existence that didn't have a direct bearing on their lived experience. Its naive but prevalent
I think part of the problem is the sciences are replete with reactionaries who have disdain for other academic disciplines that they perceive as lesser due to their inherent scientism or worse they themselves begrudge the "wokeness" that permeates the humanities and social sciences
Of our military equipment breaks, good
Unrelated but I've never been able to take this acct seriously because of it. Hack shit
Am i the only one who finds invoking one of the most famous conservatives in Roman history in every tweet the corniest shit ever? Like, yeah, fuck ICE, we all get that. Smacks of some holier than thou type of shit, as if spamming that on every post shows that you just care more than everyone else
Not to be a pedant, but this comment just reminded me of how utterly hopeless these people are
They don't even know what these words actually mean. They live in a fantastical reality and they are completely lost and nothing will change that. They are the death drive embodied, they'd watch everything they know and love burn and die before they abandoned their hate
Nope
No serious person believes this
The US has no "friends", only enemies and supplicants
If anything gets sub 33% or so then it's bad because it means his base is starting to peel away but that isnt even CLOSE to happening
He has NEVER had a majority support in this country, this is right in line with the best they could've expected for public support. It's well above the critical mass of people needed to keep this shit going, especially since 95% of people in law enforcement, DHS and otherwise, are fully on board
People are reposting this as if its bad for Trump! THIS IS A HUGE NUMBER, ITS BIGGER THAN HIS BASE, ITS BAD BAD BAD BAD NEWS
I take only the tinniest bit of solace knowing that these stupid fucking racists ruined their own lives and they know kt
Did not expect this to be a direct quote
Yeah, Marxists unflinchingly and unambiguously agree with everything Marx ever wrote which is why Marxists all famously agree with each other
Democratic consults will be on trial during Nuremberg 2
You're a worthless piece of crap and while you assholes scold us about not talking exclusively about "kitchen table issues" they're getting ready to put you in a fucking camp
This shit has barely begun, there is zero percent chance they leave without a total implosion of the government and explicitly turning the guns on all opposition and protest (as opposed to the implicit fact of the matter happening now)
No opinion poll will make me feel better about what's going on right now as if we are getting fair elections where those sentiments can be expressed. He has the entire US government more or less purged of opposition and every cop in the country is willing to step on their neighbor's neck for him
At 41% approval he's doing fine. He never had much more than that. This or that issue doesn't mean much when people don't allow that to change their opinion of the man himself. Idk, this just isn't comforting to me
Yeah, considering white supremacists are the only ones who say it
"black on black crime" yeah you're just a white supremacist and get pissed that some people find that bad
The original post is even more sick than this
No, 1000% no. As sure as I am that the sun will rise tomorrow I am sure that "AI" does not suffer. Dumb fucking article and screw the Guardian for giving this stupid bullshit air
I thought this dude had like a quaint farm to table restaurant or something but it turns out he's talking about a fried chicken stand in a grocery store. You could make an "all natural" restaurant like this work in a crunchy northwest city maybe but not a chicken joint in Philly for Christ's sake
Cowardly, worthless university. The state of Michigan has been an embarrassment in all of this. From the flagship university to its senators and governor the state has produced some of the worst capitulators
keep seeing "don't be a doomer" but ive seen nothing over the past 25 years suggesting i should not plan for the worst
This assumes there are no homophobes outside of the abrahamic religion. It assumes an atheist can't be a homophobe. This is wrong and looking at a group of people using religion to justify bigotry as if that's inherent to said religion is just the basis for a new bigotry
The American people simply do not understand the content of their own minds rendering shit like this utterly useless. That's not even mentioning that this style of politics explicitly embraces believing in and striving for nothing
Time to start matching this energy when these people bring up anything they do that isn't directly political. You into comic books? Sorry bud, time to get your priorities straight. Video games? Haha, don't even think about it
Fear
