the absolute flood of "waaaaaaaah but i want to be mad at Dems about this" posts are doing very little to convince me i'm incorrect but are sure making me think some things about their authors but like i said, whatever makes you happy

the level of people currently scrambling to blame democrats for trump's attack on iran is off the fucking charts

It's because deep down these folks know they spent the last 5+ years doing everything to undermine Democrats at every turn. And now they're feeling increasingly guilty for it. But they can't process that guilt, so they lash out.

it sucks actually that right now there are just two going concerns in foreign policy, "america is the Great Satan and everything we do is Wrong" vs "america is King Rapist fuck you" 🐴👞🐴👞🐴👞

My radical take is that the people primarily to blame for the inevitable wave of anti-Semitism we are already starting to see are in fact the people being anti-Semitic

Donald the Do-

"Trump is the peace candidate, unlike Harris" is quite possibly the most disproven statement in recent American history. Hell, "vote against Harris if you want peace in the Middle East and Central Asia" is even more so.

What makes Trump such a unique horror is that he’s the worst possible person to deal with any circumstance. He has no concept of interests outside his own insatiable appetites. He can’t deal with any problem lobbed his way. Creates countless new crises. And considers himself unconstrained by law.

“Grandpa, what did you do when Donald Trump was elected?” “Oh I had the most important job: critiquing the adjective choices in statements by Democratic politicians on the internet”

Behavioral changes noticeable (they hit a military target for the first time)

Tbf they’re actually migrating back to their natural habitat

It’s just weird to see shaheds not in Ukraine

human capex limited largely by that we hadn't invented caesarian sections yet, once most new humans are created in warm safe pods our crania are going to immediately get extremely funny within like, centuries if we let natural selection continue to have an opinion

"AI is a black box" I have BAD news about the human brain "we understand exactly how AI works and it's just doing next-token generation" baby no you learned a word and think it's a magic word and also, I continue to have bad news about the human brain

I think I can safely say that my support of trans rights is pretty fucking clear from my posting, and yet I'm on a good dozen or more so clearsky lists as a transphobe for arguing with dumbasses about issues that have nothing to do with trans rights.

The actual animal comparison for Pakistan is a sea urchin, an animal covered with sharp spines that radiate out in every direction on top of a fanged asshole. Sophisticates pretend there's something good inside (uni) but you would've gotten something you liked more anywhere else.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

alright, I don't ask my followers for much, but this vile slander is coming dangerously close to being un-ratioed

A lot of people really can't honestly look into the abyss that your brain is a biological organ that can betray you.

I want to be very clear that I am the good AI in this scenario and am fully supportive of this platform plank

the baftas thing is the kobayashi maru of woke send tweet

Is it just me or are online and media leftists a bunch of horrible Mean Girls who care more about Mean Girl-ing people who are basically on their side than they will ever care about any of the things they claim to believe in?

The last time anyone that wasn't motivated by antisemitism alleged a conspiracy by Rothschild money was in Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel around 1803 when Salomon Mayer von Rothschild accused his brother Carl of cheating at Monopoly. What are we doing here?

I'm starting to think that the reason journalists lash out like this so reliably is that they don't do "theory of mind." They spend zero effort thinking about why people do things. Their entire world is just "stuff people tell me" and "stuff I observed people doing" and that's it.

The death of journalism has been terrible to behold and really bad for our society and there have been many journalists who have simply helped it at every opportunity.

he even cautioned against jumping to conclusions about her until someone surfaced the guy she was retweeting. It reads like an old Greek parable in how heavy handed it is in contrasting "virtuous behavior" from "unvirtuous behavior"

My guy she quote tweeted Chris Brunet. Her reporting skills aren’t in question, her judgement is.

imagine my surprise at finding out the reporter Rothschild posting also writes for the outfit run by this guy who posted this

I thought Stancil would win the posting war because he's Will Stancil, but I admit I thought he'd win by split decision. "Not only avoid cancellation but have your accuser cancelled for being a Nazi" is a clean knockout.

You see, journalists are a force of nature. Try as one might, there's no constraining them. Ethics are for rubes. They'll write what they want, when they want, how they want. Nobody gets them. They're the wind, baby! The profession deserves every indignity that they have suffered and will suffer.

The reporter social media club is just the drama club and the Mean Girls sitting together forever until the end of time, their schemes and ploys define our lives and they all truly believe they are entitled to determine who in society deserves acceptance or ridicule

And meanwhile they terrorized everyone else that they could reach in left-leaning spaces, while ranting like anime supervillains. It's no wonder there was a sharp antiwoke backlash. On the plus side, the Right is going to inspire an even nastier popular backlash. Maybe we can fix things then.

Woke 1 took real problems, the kinds that made #BLM and #MeToo go viral, and then proposed batshit insane solutions, thereby wasting golden opportunities for reform. The bizarre fantasies of replacing law enforcement with HR, or with Woke lynch mobs, or with nothing at all crowded out real fixes.

This is a big part of why I fucking hated Woke 1. It was a crab bucket of ppl screaming about how everyone else was a privileged monster and they personally were the pure, oppressed snowflake facing a grand conspiracy from everyone around them. It was near-comprehensive failure as a result.

yeah, I love how all the different skeets vacillate wildly between, "i am sm0l bean uwu verge writer why you pick on me," to, "i am incredibly credible, look at my other MN pieces HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY INTEGRITY." it's how you know that *they* know it's a shitty hit piece.

But Will, that would imply you care about or believe things that aren’t about impressing people online! It might even imply that your online arguing is because you actually believe things, which we know nobody does! You must just be really bad at trying to impress people!

And I did try very hard to get other observers into the story (and still am)! I put them in touch with reporters, asked reporters to try to find other people before coming to me, and generally have sought to serve as a point of contact for observers rather than the public face.

If what Stancil claims is true (and I believe it is), all of the "opsec" excuses organizers gave for kicking him out were lies. They're just a bunch of too-online, mafiosi-wannabe motherfuckers who think omertà is a good way to spare themselves embarrassment for shitty behavior.

Not insults though. Lies, distortions, delusions, misinfo, yes. He obsessively corrects the record, at least as he sees it. But he drives his detractors beyond insane because in-group insult comedy just rolls right off. That's why they work so hard to recruit flying monkeys to land just one punch.

He's actually out there doing constructive things like running for office and observing ICE agents and that is deeply threatening to the people whose entire identity is "I never go outside or talk to other people but I alone can fix society through posting and encouraging revolution"

I remember when Will was first kicked from the RR group chats and he said that he would find a way to still be involved in protecting his community, that all of his detractors made hay about him "violating consent" and now with this those same people are literally doing "he was asking for it".

People hate Will Stancil because, despite being a lib, he’s done more direct action against fascism than 99% of leftist posters on this site, which makes people feel insecure about not doing enough

Solid thread on the latest Stancil drama. "Kool Kid leftism," as David names it, is an illiberal cancer.

This is an emotional support piece for the people who failed to get him canceled, and I'm not sure I can be convinced otherwise.

also the only remotely plausible mechanism by which he could randomly enforce tariffs by fiat is smoot-hawley and if he wants to be the one to invoke the fact that smoot-hawley is technically still on the books in the year of yalls lord 2026 i frankly wish him the joy of the adventure

> hit-and-run kills an 11-year-old (who had right-of-way) > misdemeanor charges I know we have other priorities right now but automotive supremacy is a plague on the USA and if we ever get back to a point where we can care about normal shit we need to beat it to death with hammers
