There are like dozens of people here who think this guy is endorsing "blood and soil" rhetoric who are just too mad to read. Do you think he's endorsing the use of "untermenschen" too? Or making a rhetorical point in a way you've seen a thousand people make one before

Imagine invading an American city for fascism then getting recalled because the dear leader saw you on TV and thought you were too fat and unattractive.

the kind of attitude we need if we're going to fix this country

this explains a lot of the public dooming about Democrats imo, especially ones who are liberal darlings

if you watch these shorts you can see that tactical clothing and gear is essentially a guilty pleasure for men to have the same level of accessories as women www.youtube.com/shorts/7x_qg...

sick nasty hell heah @kcls.org hell yeah public libraries

one of the things about the AI water issue that drives me batshit is the way in which it demonstrates people (many of whom are arguing they understand reasoning better than the other side) don't understand how argument flow works

cis people when trans people outside the west say theyre trans: no no its irresponsible to draw connections btwn such vastly different cultures cis people when a cis male serial killer sniffs womens underwear before murdering them: is he a transsexual? itd be irresponsible not to speculate wildly

It’s just example # 486 of “reasonable nuanced critique of liberalism gets flattened to meaninglessness through a game of telephone”. Cogent critiques of aspects of respectability politics get turned into “it makes you a brave revolutionary to be the biggest asshole possible to everyone”

They hate us for our freedoms, man, I dunno what else to say

Part of the reason the right aggressively demonizes George Soros is to dissuade any other left-of-center wealthy guys from doing actual politics the way every right wing billionaire happily does.

i just got back from Antifa headquarters. they're making an INSANE new set of demands. first, the radical left is saying, "no money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law."

what's largely forgotten in the gauzy hagiography of the civil rights movement is that they were not a "spontaneous mass movement." many of their most famous actions were small, tactical moves made to *advance their narrative* in the public sphere. anyways, www.liberalcurrents.com/how-to-win-a...

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

The problem is that none of it was true. There's no evidence that Gein would crossdress or use the skin or body parts of his victims as a costume. It was included because it's the version that quack 50s psychoanalysts and yellow journalism invented and which inspired Psycho and Silence of the Lambs

“Asshole with a thin leftist veneer” is what a substantial number of people want, because they don’t actually want to make the world better, they want to feel they’re part of a club and that their resentment of life and desire for someone to tell them how to think is justified.

UPDATE: I absolutely did trigger my fire marshals to go through the code and grumble about it continually playing catch up. That part of the point of building the datacenters where they are isn't just cheap land and resource they can exploit, but older code with poor enforcement.

you can’t even occupy an american city without getting laughed at anymore, because of croak

i do think it’s telling that this large chunks of this admin exist solely to create content for a social media app that doesn’t even clock into the top five most used

self described communist who is really a libertarian is a surprisingly common kind of person online

Another evening of “this is why your city has a housing shortage”

oh. the “ironic” pretend bigotry is almost immediately translating to real life harassment? you don’t say! who could have foreseen this. if only there was precedent.

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us

how much do you wanna bet the trump admin is full of people going "oh man oh man if only I'd been In Charge in 2020, it all would have gone differently" and that's why they're like, apparently actively attempting to bring back the circumstances of summer 2020 on purpose

this suuucks right now, it is literally the most important it has ever been to understand the intellectual histories of zionism and anti-zionism. and this bullshit scapegoating the admin is doing is making that harder. this isn’t zionism either, it’s christofascist antiintellectualism

So much real shit to criticise Israel for and still people insist on making shit up.

People use "anti-Zionism" to mean everything from "Every Jew needs to go back to Poland" to "One binational state with protections for both communities," which is why I don't find blanket statements of either "Anti-Zionism is antisemitism" or "anti-Zionism is not antisemitism" particularly helpful.

me, a small farmer: Small farmers in the US aren't poor. Most are middle class at LEAST. Here's the data if you don't believe me City Folks(TM): But have you considered all the Details? This info distresses me. Therefore you, Small Farmer, must be mistaken ppl from farm country: haha I know right

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

Only on bluesky would this ice cold "take" (factual observation of history) be seen as a discourse grenade lmao

Li'l dollink, allus feckful 🐭🧱😻

the outcome of this 110 year old idea that became policy is that there are substantially fewer multifamily homes than there should be, and the quality of life in them is incredibly abysmal - but also that single family homes are the most dangerous homes to live in. bsky.app/profile/holz...

Most red states are being run by madmen and becoming hellholes for normies who care about basic government services, the right to an abortion & LGBT rights it’s time for blue states to lock in, build housing, build transit, and build state capacity so we can thrive from red state refugee migration

You have to get cringe for this shutdown effort to succeed. You cannot just post cynical anti-schumer/Jeffries stuff. You have to call your senators and show support. You have to talk to your friends and family.

trump is an anti confirmed

assigned femboy by the Saudi state

if the thing which you are about to post cites "a senior Dem staffer" without providing a quote or naming names or even saying who they're staff for, and you are going to make a blanket claim about the Party, please instead of doing that log the fuck off and have a nice mug of hot chocolate

I know this sounds cruel but the cold hard fact is we need to appeal to more voters if we want to win elections. That’s why I argue that we need to dispense with purity politics and accept candidates who want to ban Ezra Klein from receiving medical care.

Also, even though it’s pretty obvious from the clip itself, they cut off the end of the speech that really hammers home how anti-violence the speech is, in the hopes that total morons would misunderstand what was being said.

Taking a speech that’s pretty clearly speaking out against the acceptance of violence and trying to spin it as Jews endorsing human sacrifice is just straight-up neo-Nazi propaganda.

A couple folks have called today and said they got through to people, which means we are not crashing the lines nearly enough. Call, y'all. Even if you're never called before. Especially if you have a democratic senator who you don't trust to hold the line.

One thing I really liked of Helsinki's trams is that even in brand-new neighbourhoods, they keep hanging the wires as well as streetlights to buildings "the old way" whenever possible. It makes for a much less cluttered urban environment and less stuff on the sidewalk.

Leftists: “dems would win if they only adopted my position, but they refuse because they’re dumb” Ezra Klein types: “dems would win if they only adopted my position, but they refuse because they’re dumb”

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness. The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires. So they go for the media-bait illusions of power. Like this. Profoundly weak flex.

What’s unique about antisemitism is that it is a bigotry of inferiority. The left can spot racism and homophobia etc because those are bigotries of superiority - “these subhumans want rights? they should know their place.” But with antisemitism it’s “these jews are rich puppetmasters who own us”

I think a lot of the left’s blindness towards antisemitism is for the exact same reason Curtis here calls us “hereditary aristocrats.” Antisemites don’t see us as a marginalized group. They see us as an unfairly privileged group. They want to “take us down a peg.”

“Hereditary communist aristocrats” probably strikes a lot of people as deranged nonsense, but it’s actually three antisemitic stereotypes in a trench coat, which is why Yarvin feels no cognitive dissonance tapping out that phrase.

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.
