"Segregation yesterday, segregation today, segregation forever. Now buy my tract on why Stalinism-Hoxhaism is better than Maoism."

I do hate when people (this is a pan-ideological thing) vacillate between boldly proclaiming provocative shit and then go “whoa hey I’m just a lil’ guy, I don’t even have any power, REALLY you’re gonna focus on ME, c’mon…” like either your ideas are worth taking seriously or they aren’t!

I fucking hate the world we’ve built

oh christ, one of these in the wild again. 'antisemitic' is a term *invented in the late 19th century by Jew-haters* as a euphemistic way of framing their Jew hating. it has nothing to do with what people or linguistic groups are 'semitic,' it means hatred of Jews.

The right-wing conspiracy theory media ecosystem convinced no small number of Mamdani’s supporters in Crankworld that he would be the second coming of Karl Lueger and are now deeply aggrieved to find out that he is not actually that guy

I’ve performed this song a few times for friends and family and every audience I subject to it is convinced that it has to be a bit, a satire, some sort of indecipherable 19th century esoteric joke The idea that it reflected genuine Southern sentiments is just inconceivable to modern minds, and YET

All that talk of “a tragic war of brother against brother” and if you asked a Dixian their actual feelings? “300,000 Yankees is stiff in Southern dust We got 300,000 before they conquered us They died of Southern fever, of Southern steel and shot I wish they was 3 million instead of what we got”

Average union soldier memoir: "at first I was like I signed up for this war, but is it really worth it? Then I saw the reality of chattel slavery and I had to be physically restrained from slaughtering every white southerner I encountered"

CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.

An alarming take I've started seeing first with Platner & now with Chevalier is "it's your fault I chose to support this awful person because you didn't stop me from supporting them" & among other things it's just an insane abdication of their own agency.

Carci-naz-ation

Every conspiracy theorist eventually becomes a National Socialist in exactly the same way that all crustaceans eventually become crabs

There are a lot of you who have gotten weirdly horny about forcing us admit that Ukraine "isn't that important" and stab our friends in the back to the extent that it legitimately feels like cult behavior

It's honestly getting really tiring how having extremely strong opinions about libs vis-a-vis the positions of moron libs on Palestine is interpreted as righteous and just but libs having strong opinions about leftists vis-a-vis positions of moron leftists on Ukraine is interpreted as cringe

pretty devastating dunk at the end of this paragraph

This is such lame authoritarian shit. He thinks he's Mussolini or Stalin or even Big Brother but he's that guy in Turkmenistan

WHO'S INTERMITTENT NOW???

We do a little law and order, it’s called we do a little law and order

“restoring faith that better is possible” is maybe the most important thing in politics right now outside of imposing consequences on the bad people (and imposing consequences would help restore faith) we have seen what cynical, “lol nothing matters” politics leads to and it leads to Donald Trump

The secret is that The Little Guy is racist as sin and his relationship to the law is contingent entirely on how racist he perceives the law is willing to be

They really shitcanned Krugman so they can keep putting this content out lol

There’s three types of people. Bullies, wannabe bullies, and normal people. Their politics are wildly varied and who they really are is largely expressed through the affect, rather than the substance of their politics, and how much of a shitshow it would be if they were actually put in charge.

The ghost of LaRouche haunts me forever

Yeah, I'm absolutely shocked that Max is just a Nazi now. This is my shocked face :-|

“Nuland and someone” you mean the American ambassador lmfao

I could join the waxing poetic about the dirtbag left’s violence fantasies but there is a more important thing at hand Namely, none of these fuckin people have ever stuffed anyone into a locker lmao

"Dirtbagism essentially authorizes any kind of dishonesty or cruelty if it’s deployed by people on the left. Proper progressive positions are presumed to be a pre-justification for bad behavior." This is essentially the philosophy of Carl Schmitt, "crown jurist of the Third Reich."

I've been assured that the people advocating for this sort of stuff only want me to have free healthcare and no student loans, honest

This is Nazism.

Russophilia is an unfailingly reliable ingredient to turn socialists into national socialists

Being told at this hour that off-brand racist psychosis does not appease the racist psychos, who strongly prefer and can afford the name-brand racist psychosis

For those playing the home game this is called a “taunt”

“Crook? Please, what an amateur!”

"Nixon's crimes were childsplay compared to ours!"

Remember when this guy was the Good Twitter Journo who you didn’t wanna dishonor by confusing with those nasty lib grifter Krassensteins

They hate liberals more than fascists.

Pretty much the solitary reason for left-wing softness on Russia is that a lot of leftists are not historical materialists but constructivists Which it is fine to be, this is coming from a constructivist, but being the latter while insisting that you’re the former leads to weird-ass conspiracism

It’s so cool how republicans are just stupid now

All of the Defense of Western Civilization and assimilation calls and ersatz fears about crime are a veneer for white identity politics that says "America is for one color first."

"You're the wrong color to enjoy American life" is not the American Way of life. Break it down to this absurdity because it is, in fact, what the Right is claiming.

I think Dems can attack this in this simplified way. You don't need paeans to the diverse fabric of humanity. "We're not going to have an immigration system that says 'Sorry, you're the wrong color' as Republicans would like and have wanted since 1955.'

"Assimilate" on the Right now means "Be the correct color."

"p-please s-show up"

And related to this -- there once was a period when you could actually be seen as *too* openly racist for Republicans. Now they're all worried they're not being racist enough, that they're leaving themselves open to a primary challenge by a literal Klansman campaigning in a hood.

The thunderhead of doom and despair Dry lightning cometh

....are we really gonna do Charlie KirkCarthyism 2 over the fucking pool

Who is still buying White House correspondent journobooks in The Year of Our Lord Two Thousands and Twenty Six

I refuse to buy and/or read these supposed blockbuster investigative books. This used to be bread butter daily newspaper journalism not a cash grab. Where is journalistic integrity? Trump killed that too along with truth, individual freedom and justice.
