it's just a thing now that if 9/11 is referenced people will "jokingly" reference jews in the comments. just a thing people do now

i was told this wasn't an issue and not a real slur

bsky.app/profile/famo... it used to be a stereotype that if you were rich on average you had good taste

impossible to overstate the degree to which we are being governed by people whose formative politics is gamergate, but DHS posting Halo memes to recruit for ICE is pretty close.

You want to prevent kids being radicalised by extremist ideologies? Great! It's not just kids! There's loads of adults being radicalised by them too. Actually do your jobs and go after big tech as a whole instead of letting them do whatever they like as they pour sewage into our society.

This - I actually agree with the case of keeping smart phones out of classrooms. But the campaign against them isn't about education, it's about cutting children off from communities their parents don't understand and can't control. Many of which can be lifelines for LGBTQ+ youth, not threats.

"brave old man refuses to give up his podunk ass fucking hovel for a construction project that would save his community and literally help everyone" has to be my least favorite kind of story

bsky.app/profile/kate... Raffaella Carrà was an LGBT icon who pretty much invented sex positivity in Italy and also was on Letterman www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFbe...

Also my serious answer for this is that I believe that recipe-purist food snobbery (eg. Italians, or worse yet, poncey non-Italians, flipping their shit out at people putting cream into carbonara) is actually a form of very mild xenophobia.

idk anymore man

this guy is a disgusting fucking asshole

anti-tourism sentiment in europe is just ethnonationalism made palatable for leftists send tweet

he got kicked off of a secret gamefaqs politics forum for antisemitism. do you know how antisemitic you have to be to get kicked off of a politics forum for gamers

what the hell does this even mean

amazing

so many people ostensibly on the left kept gaslighting me about how this is actually a net good for humanity

@dov.bsky.social how true is this?

bsky.app/profile/larr... if you try you can empathize with everyone, everywhere. will determines feeling, you aren't born with boundless, christlike empathy and understanding, it's not second nature for everyone to be good

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

why is it a requirement for someone with babyish leftist cold takes online to also have a podcast about arthouse film

surprised no one has ever made a "seatbelts are fascism" thread

No, these people are all your own. The Mossad is not trying to drag you into disciplining your liberal electoralists into accepting al-Thawabit, because the Mossad does not want campaigns for al-Thawabit to occur at all. You just refuse to accept political discipline from your lords and masters.

i have seen exactly one post from this guy and it wasn't even that bad but i refuse to know more about him. i feel like i'm staring at the elephant's foot of twitter just reading his bio

this is the new scholasticism

people who say things like this should be spit on in public

This post is a reminder a) to stop hating on Bono because your hipster dormmates from college told you Pitchfork said he was uncool, they were wrong b) why you should want the monsters who illegally impounded PEPFAR funding to be thrown into an active volcano.

If you grew up in a small town I think it helps you understand that institutions exist to protect you from your neighbors and peers

Recurring gripe of mine but it is incredible how National Conservatism is supposedly built around decrying lack of community, common project etc, while turning every “hate your neighbors” dial they can access up to 11. Make your professor terrified to say anything, don’t trust your doctor, etc

bsky.app/profile/prop... "4chan but left" is basically the background radiation for politically involved zoomers online now

@primaryschool.bsky.social hate it here

Talk about plot holes or anything along those lines is likely to make me nope out of a conversation with blinding speed. I'm a fundamentalist in this regard. It's all magic. Even the not good stuff is. The fact that people can take their heads or hearts and put them on a page is magic.

protests in support of Palestine broke out all across Italy today, this is obviously great, but I can never fully get behind pro-Palestine rallies here because I know my country, and I know the majority of the people there don't see Ukraine as a cause worth supporting all the same

bsky.app/profile/jayl... i've been told by leftist podcasters with a coke habit this is good, for reasons

bsky.app/profile/bryc... reminds me that there's an Italian singer-songwriter whose brand is heteronormative family values propaganda and being vocal about how conversion therapy works and gays should be free to attend it. let me show you a single picture of him

bsky.app/profile/shar... understated how many of these guys are just overgrown toddlers

i mean broadly if there is not some amount of bad-faith use of identity as a bludgeon, the society isn't antiracist enough. for the same reason that the ideal amount of crime isn't zero.

If mr robot came out today people on twitter would love it up until it was revealed the villain is a Chinese govt official then there would be 500 threads about how the creator is liberal

When *I* was a student communist, we were Trots who said "yeah we want a classless society but no-one thinks the bureaucratic economy and the Berlin Wall were a good thing", and today's student commies mostly do think that

thinking of how John Hughes, a conservative, wrote a film about how teenage delinquents deserve compassion too and how manliness isn't defined by bullying, hate and violence. god i miss him

Gun leftists, shut the fuck up: it's guns, you're part of the problem, it's guns

if you are not a hypocrite, your creed is not rigorous enough

the thing that most makes me feel like i am living in a fake world, an upside down place, reality warped through a mirror darkly, is that everyone loves the avatar movies and considers them one of the last true bastions of real cinema now. i missed a meeting. i dont agree with this one

why is it that in online film circles you're expected to just have certain political opinions. no I'm not gonna support the Stasi we're talking about French New Wave right now

few months away from someone tweeting "drag queens are spiritually israeli"

doctor who fucking sucks and i'm tired of pretending i don't hate it

lord help me I'm going to kick someone's fucking ass
