Even worse, many of them do this with illness, too. Because if you’re devout enough, god will heal you. If you’re not getting better, there’s obviously something wrong with your faith.

Thank you.

Quick tip: going old-school by calling and faxing are more disruptive to their business than emailing. There are free, anonymous, online faxing services, you don’t need to have a machine.

It’s not about making something useful. He and a few others are cloning everything any of their cult might use to further fence them in from external information and entertainment.

They’re having a harder time in entertainment, because artists tend to be more liberal, but they’re gaining ground there, too. After a certain point, they’ll just radically censor everything else.

He’s said some incredibly stupid things, but this is next level.

The hamster powering his brain is clearly just a rotting pile of sludge now. How can anyone look at this masterclass in utter ignorance and see anything other than a senile old fool who should be in a nursing home for his own protection?

Nearly 80% of republicans think this is okay? What wouldn’t they think is okay from him? It seems they’d be fine with his actual corpse being wheeled round on a trolley by Vance & co. Astounding.

Yeah, but with the fascists in charge, not only will that never happen, they’re dedicated to undermining standard literacy, nevermind adding media and fictional literacy.

Kinda feels like we’re doomed.

Oh, some of us know. And some of us are sick of the edging.

We’re going there, inexorably. They’re trying to pretend that’s not what’s happening, and loads of people are happy to go along with it out of… denial? Blissful ignorance?

But some of us just wish they’d drop the fragments of their mask, already, so we can stop debating where we are in the 14 steps and just fucking deal with the problem.

It’s fine, we’re good. Sorry for coming out with the claws, I thought you were a MAGA troll. I also shouldn’t post drunk.

Fucking do it, pussy. Let’s see the backlash.

It was fast, efficient, and nobody else was involved, I guess?

I could give you diarrhoea, or sepsis, or tetanus, your choice! I’m flexible and I don’t judge. I just love being inside you!

Trump humiliates everyone behind closed doors. Most of all, himself. And also with open doors. And stairs, and windows, and on the roof.

Trump is humiliation personified.

Sambo’s managed to barely survive until 2020.

Where was my assumption, friend?

Was it not a right wing org, or did they not defraud people? Because both were made pretty clear in the article.

Point to where my comment touched you.

Okay. Sure, my entire life on this planet and all of my lived experience is ‘culture wars’.

Believe what you like, I’ll not stop you.

This isn’t ‘culture wars’ – whatever that even means here. It’s me talking to you. Being reductionist only makes you seem pithy, which is actually rather sad.

We’re probably done here, if you can’t even have a conversation without resorting to catch phrases.

Honestly, this is why when people say ‘do you need the /s tag, you baby?’ I’m like ‘Yes!’

People are dense and say shit like that unironically. It was hard enough back when all we had to contend with was the normal amount of sarcasm not translating well to text. Now we also have to deal with emboldened idiots who think their fascism is okay.

How the fuck are we supposed to tell the difference now?

It will never stop being funny that republicans were super excited about The Boys until that season, and then got butthurt when ‘the message changed’, suddenly saying Homelander was warping superman’s legacy and had gone woke and whatnot.

Like, he was clearly a fascist from minute 1, but once Stormfront made it inescapably obvious, even to their tiny minds, the whole series had changed.

Watching that play out was one of the highlights of the past 10 years.

No one gives a fuck that youre a woman.

Bullshit.

You don’t, but you’re not everyone.

A massive part of understanding the world is understanding that you’re not everyone. My entire career has been to understand other people, and step 1 is to realise that you are not everyone. It’s very counterintuitive for most of us, but also very necessary if you hope to understand things.

I am not everyone, and I am not speaking for myself here. If the world were me, I’d 100% say AOC could win. I’d fucking love that.

But I am not the world.

It’s the human way of things.

DNC or not, even if they were as perfect as you’d like them to be, trying to unite people on the left is like herding cats.

Have you tried having discussions with multiple people on the left? I’ll bet you have, and I’ll bet you’ve been frustrated.

The problem with any of left of centre is that we believe in things and aren’t a flock of sheep. That’s good, but also politically very bad for us.

They have their genitals deep in Israel.

I’m not joking, and thanks.
