If you say “Black Lives Matter” your Italophobia is showing THE END

Normally I wouldn’t bother but since he is talking about the place I live, I want to emphasize that the state has not disappeared 15% of the school age population of Charlotte. 99%+ are at home with friends and family. That is not “disappeared by the state” in any common parlance.

Acquaint yourself with the major antisemitic conspiracy theories. Don't automatically discount it when left Jews tell you that you've done a dogwhistle, even if you didn't intend it. These are trencherous waters. Oppose genocide, *and.* Do not do the Nazis' work for them.

Reading about post-WWII civil rights fights and no words tell more about how bad the situation was than explaining how a segregationist lost a political strategy argument to “the younger, more moderate governor of South Carolina, J Strom Thurmond” 😬

Trump was able to take over again because Americans assumed if something was really illegal, the Constitution would break out of its case and shoot the president with a gun.

The problem with “we should simply have rules and systems that prevent you from doing bad things” is that we had those! The problem is that when you have people who don’t give a shit in charge of the executive branch, legislature, and courts, it doesn’t matter! There is no counter to lack of virtue!

There’s a very surreal conversation I keep having on here where people seem unable to hold two ideas at the same time, and I’m not sure why. It’s simply true that the Big AI platforms like ChatGPT are: 1. Extremely bad for society, in many ways. 2. Very genuinely popular with lots of people.

I cannot think of a better encapsulation of the Seventh Party System’s coalition politics than neocons defending the honor of furries from neo-Nazi blood libel.

"why are we farming rice sir, I wanted to have a spreadsheet job" "future people with spreadsheet jobs need to meme about how rice farmers defeated the American military" "but wouldn't it be more inspiring if their heroes had the same jobs?" "you'd think so Private, you'd think so"

Czechoslovakia (the defenestration of Masaryk in 1948 or the Prague Spring of 1968), the Gulag, Cambodia, Poland (and there will be more to come). My Kronstadt was Kronstadt.”

“Every radical generation, it is said, has its Kronstadt. For some it was the Moscow Trials, for others the Nazi-Soviet Pact, for still others Hungary (the Raik Trial or 1956),

I remember On Here a month or two ago being linked the diary of some Union soldier who went something like (to paraphrase) "we ran into a mother and daughter fleeing the plantations today and after the stories they told us every boy in the unit agreed that johnny reb must burn"

some people are edging dangerously close to trying to both-sides the goddamn Civil War but leftishly, and no, absolutely not, we are not doing that

the chihuahua absolutely insists on being taken outside, until the moment you try to take him outside, whereupon he suddenly remembers that outside is cold, and does this

Reading about WWII, as one does, and Chiang Kai-Shek of all people emerges as one of the tragic figures of the war. (Tragic in the sense of a great man brought low, not necessarily the tragedy of war).

Ryan Coogler said part of his influence for making Sinners was a childhood love for the Disney movie “Luck of the Irish” and let me tell you…he is so real for that.

If Trump creates a pan-Latino political identity the way that the civil rights era helped produce a shared black political identity, and Latinos start voting as a bloc against Republicans to even a fraction a degree black voters do, it’s literally curtains for the GOP. Lights out. Game over.

one genuine issue is that like, there's a sort of generalized cynicism that gets turned into "look everybody sucks so i'm going to support the demon at home"

The best way to understand France is that, despite being a secular state naming an aircraft carrier after a royalist Cardinal wound up being a left coded position.

Supposedly the mascot of the Minnesota State Fair is related to Goldy Gopher.

Americans who look to Europe for what a better country might look like really should be comparing like to like and spend more time looking at Latin America. History, social structure, political system (presidentialism) all make New World countries much more like each other than any alike to Europe
