This image is very early 40k coded. That guy with a knife is definitely in a gene steeler cult.

They're just feeding him an endless stream of AI slop, aren't they? He's living in a world where crowds are cheering on as "his" troops crush Antifa and expel the TdA invasion.

It is genuinely wild that Russia is ruining itself and becoming a satellite state all in service of a crackpot theory about historic destiny to rule Ukrainian farmland. Such is the nature of autocracy. Mass death and destruction for the sakes of the perverse obsessions of a few ruthless horrid men.

Roman statue guys have beeen cursed to suffer the tragic fate of binding themselves to movement dominated by people who would stuff them into a locker and call them faggots if they were ever forced to tolerate their presence in real life.

I feel like this was probably made by someone with political views somewhere between Richard Hanania and BAP, but I still find it hilarious.

As a man who could win a J.D. Vance lookalike contest, I feel like the next few years of American politics are going to be a trying time.

Once you reach a certain age, this woman becomes more attractive than Gal Gadot.

It's not a crime to be pen palls with Dennis Rader, but I'd feel justified in thinking less of someone if they were.

It seems obvious to me that the rule should be that it's okay to make fun of any given ethnic group in inverse proportion to how likely someone is to think you actually mean it.

I feel like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is ine of the few truely successful woke shows precisely because it's characters are so despicable. "Because of the implication" may be the most effective satire of patriarchy ever conceived.

We're experiencing a kind of reverse Weimar where the legacy institutions the old order left in place in the judiciary are holding back the tide of authoritarianism. We're lucky in this respect, but it's a finite resource.

For all the Islamophobia you get from these types, their ideal system of government is basically one of the gulf states.

there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18 reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011 all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful

A Right-Libertarian blogger in the US used have a thing he called the “Jews in the Attic Test” for any proposed legislation: Would it make it harder to hide persecuted people from the government? If so, it was a bad law. The irony that he’s drifted fashward over the last five years is palpable.

Feeling pretty good about myself for being [redacted] degrees of separation from anyone in the Epstien files. Theil might be the closest, and that's only because my dad knew René Girard.

A sane person: "How was your weekend, did you catch the game?" Me: "Epstien tried to redpill Chomsky" SP: "What?"

The thing about Epstien is that my inclination is to doubt that literally everyone who was hanging out with him was interested in abusing underage girls. OTOH, every single piece of content from him makes me feel like I need a shower.

I think this is actually how the Rage virus in 28 days later started.

@thesteadystate.org I had to see this, and I now inflict it upon you.

(it is a bit funny that having a conservative and traditional self-presentation totally scrambles people’s understanding of your views. ask me how i know about this.)

youtu.be/JK6zuii2OLI?... Relevant:

There are whole sections of political opinion, and not just in Europe, that are driven by nothing but sublimated resentment that the blue line ever went down.

@seamus.bsky.social 🫡

Top island guys: Napoleon(Elba) Kamehameha Alexander Selkirk Napoleon(St. Helena) Marlon Brando Tiberius Epstien Honestly, it's a real mixed bag.

One thing I can say is that Epstien has ruined my ambition to ever own a private island. I know myself well enough to know that I can't be an island guy, people are going to make assumptions.

I'm going to remind everyone that a lot if the Epstien files is just going to be stuff random crazy people schizo dumped on the feds.

This will be carved on my tombstone.

A two tired society you say?Perhaps one with some people bound by the law but not protected by it, and others protected by it but not bound? He's inches, millimeters even, away from getting it.

Highlander: "There can only be one." Highlander 2: "There should have only been one."

The thing is, Harry Hole is actually a cognate for "Harry Hill" in Norwegian. Presumably, when the UK publisher was localizing the books, they wanted to avoid bringing this guy to mind, and instead of calling him "Harry Hillman" or whatever, they went with the worst possible solution.

Gabbard is leading raids in Georgia, and now this. Shit is about to get stupider than you think faster than you can imagine.

Thanks for the jump scare I got thinking this was Michael Scheuer.

Sitting in a Bradley in Iraq, it's 115° and we are watching cement dry (literally). Driver: hey sir if I pissed on bar of soap, is it still usable? yeah it has piss on it but it's soap, so it's clean right Me: uhhhhh Gunner: *long drag on a gauloises blonde* smith what the fuck is wrong with you

nurgle cultists run the department of health and human services

This is really excellent news.

Honestly it's one of the most underrated features of the coordinated conservative propaganda machine: they can do stuff like make gay marriage the number one social issue in American politics for 10 years in a row, then, as soon as the polling turns, completely abandon it, and the base just forgets!

The crooks are infinitely preferable to the guys who think they're saving the white race.

Its minor part of this very on point post, but I feel like blaxploitation somehow transcends the reactionary-progressive spectrum.

one big reason Trump is often counterintuitively bad for non American right-populist parties is that many voters are genuine lowercase-n nationalists and Trump exposes how many people put the Reactionary Internationale over domestic national concerns

Blatant lying as a power move has its limits.

Sending Tom Homan, a man caught on tape by the FBI taking tens of thousands of dollars in bribes in a brown paper bag, to Minnesota to crack down on corruption.

There's a huge segment of the right that has never recovered from the Soviet Union just sort of going *poof* the better part of 40 years ago.

The whole internet loves Brunhilde, the Wagner cat, a lovely cat that enjoys opera and German romanticism! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the cat is racist

America is extremely polarized around the issue of race, but it is the least *racialy* polarized it has ever been. This frightens a lot of people.

It's my curse that showcasing literally my only conventionally attractive quality is at best a social faux pas, and at worst a crime.

One of the truely bizarre aspects of our present political crisis is that some of the most vocally Christian sections of American politics are leaning hard into launching an ethnic conflict against immigrants who are disproportionately coreligionists who share many of their social beliefs.

The lowest stakes conspiracy theory I believe is that the real Kramer was Larry David's coke dealer.

Those sort of seem like different normative spins on the same analytic concept. MAGA is fundamentally about status anxiety.

The truly absurd thing is that this is happening in no small part because the business wing of the republican coalition vetoed effective immigration enforcement (cracking down on employers), so Miller and company defaulted to state sponsored vice signaling.
