They took me apart and all they found was a piece of parchment upon which was written 𒍑𒆪 𒂼𒄄 that translates roughly as “I’m a free bitch, baby”

suicidism and apocalypticism have always been fundamental to fascism, but the true innovation of postmodern fascism (ie neofascism) is reject earthly power in pursuit of obliteration. while there has traditionally been some sort of metaphysics to justify this, neofascism is built upon annihilaition

I just finished teaching a j-term course on neofascism at middlebury, and I framed the class around the idea that the main distinction between pre- and post-war fascism is the dominance of the cult of death. fascism pre-war seeks the state; post-war seeks immolation of self, state, volk, and nation.

Watching TV, seeing a campaign advert for John Cornyn where he says, without a hint of shame, "Trump never takes 'No' for an answer" ---- We know, Cornyn; that's why he's in the Epstein files

Handbook (of Appreciation) for the Recently Deceased Catherine O'Hara

So the answer to "how are they going to play this study" appears to be "All respondents who finished this study accepted the framing that they are biologically male (if identifying as transwoman) and biologically female (if identifying as transman) - QED "

From a Reddit comment of someone stating they responded to this study > It also assumes that trans people still consider ourselves to be our AGAB. I’m a trans guy, and all the questions I got were about how I feel compared to “other women” my age.

Both likelihoods are ironically served by lower number of respondents and one is served by public announcements to avoid the study, if "someone else" "follows up" and documents the warnings

What they likely want is a study they can announce the abstract and conclusions of by press release, shouting "latest explosion of trans coming out are actually drag / punk" or "social media sites created trans demographic explosion by cultural cache"

The second is that perhaps they are going to pick an arbitrary undisclosed qualifier of "Yes individual is medically transgender", then pick and choose their recruitment vectors (i.e. may only aim at populations they suspect to be highly genderqueer / drag / non-woodworking GNC people) to p-hack

Two likelihoods come to mind, considering the history of the sponsors / designers / "investigators" named, the target demographic, and the name of the recruitment - One is, they're not researching trans people per se, but rather "social contagion" of "trans ideology" via specific social media -

Ceder is a good boy, give him money for tit ejection

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Hey, pals, this study is headed by Lisa Littman, noted transphobe and pseudoscientist. She's on the advisory board for the genocidal anti-trans group GENSPECT. Do not, under any circumstance, participate in this junk study.

People warned this was coming from the moment Roe v. Wade fell. Hell, Clarence Thomas begged that day for people to get on it (Warning this article is clearly homophobic)

Re-posting the flash cards hitting ten points of How Fascism Works

Please read this extremely thoughtful & careful post on Tim Walz, Anne Frank, & the US Holocaust Memorial Museum from Martin Shuster, philosopher, Isaac Swift Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, former Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow, & scholar of genocide, the Holocaust, & authoritarianism:

Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.

Reddit allows subreddits that discuss and document fascism, but not subreddits that promote fascism. Not because of any “Fascism = Banned” policy — Because fascism **always** promotes hatred, targets others for harassment, and incites violence. They always get themselves banned

Hey I just wanna say: trans folk, we’ve spent most of our lives being terrified for one reason or another. But we survived. And now the government is targeting us. So. YOU ARE NOT A COWARD if you don’t go to the front lines of protests. We need to survive first. That’s our job right now.

"I have sat here for five and a half hours and listened to this entire room debate my humanity and my ability to participate in the basic functions of society, and from the bottom of my heart, I hope none of you have to ever sit through something like that." - Rep. Abi Boatman

Remarkable speech on the Kansas House floor yesterday by Rep. Abi Boatman. “I have sat here for 5.5 hours and listened to this entire room debate my humanity and my ability to participate in the most basic functions of society. I hope none of you have to ever sit through something like that.”

The Kansas bathroom bill applies to state government buildings. State Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat who is trans, was selected to fill a vacant seat earlier this month and it's believed this bill was specifically targeted at her. Disgusting and hateful. Details here:

The "buy-out offer" made to CBS News employees is not an offer. It is a threat. "Take a pittance, or we will fire you next week, blackball you in the industry, and make you fight for a decade in the courts for just compensation" is the unspoken message.

Note to self:

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

In theater. So they think they’re at war.

Gonna bring back the convention of writing the number out in the form of Seven and thirty two and twenty five and eighty because "Thirtyseven" is thirty sevens, or ten and two hundreds

This is the first state to pass a statute that invalidates existing licenses and birth certificates. We may see more states pass similar legislation this year. This is the next step they're moving towards. Ensuring that trans people are pushed out of public life entirely.

We’re going to win in court and on Election Day. But we also have attorneys’ fees on top of campaign expenses. If you’re able, you can help us win by chipping in $5 here: katforillinois.com/legal

It’s a depressing landscape, and it serves as a case study in what social media becomes when incentives and platform design are fundamentally broken.

Twitter/X is flooded with AI-generated fake videos engineered to spark outrage or advance political narratives. Even when someone notes that a video is fake, those corrections are buried deep in the replies and almost never reach audiences outside the echo chamber.

PostModern Conservatism is the thinking that — (at least, for the purpose of argument) — the truth of w̵h̵o̵ ̵i̵n̵v̵a̵d̵e̵d̵ ̵S̵p̵a̵i̵n̵ whether Tylenol causes Autism, Musk threw a Nazi Salute, Trans People Deserve Rights - is immaterial. You have your facts; I have alternative facts; What is true? Who's to say?

In an Irish context this was called ‘felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spéirgorm

“We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst.” Never doubt the strength & power of the protest song, or art, to bring us together, to remember, to stand in solidarity. That’s why they hate us. As the Greenham Women sang, ‘You can’t kill the spirit.’

I do not regret to tell you that not only will we win, but that MAGA has lost
