Video and photographs are of course also the fascist aesthetic as they can be doctored. Also illustrations. Ban the lot!

First time on here in a while, honestly pretty nuts to see that this level of denialism still exists. People deny climate change so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, and yet... somehow I am!

Probably infeasible with a big political topic like this one, but I feel like $20 of bot likes and some A/B testing with some of his old tweets could get you a long way on more niche issues...

Ah very good point, didn't see it was using Twitter's native search syntax. I guess the trick would be getting your reply on the first page of replies to his tweets on the topic, along with some sort of impersonation.

Maybe just reply w/ a fake quote and attribute to him?

You're a hero, as always -- thanks for highlighting. That's beyond absurd.

New prompt injection vector just dropped: just, like, tweeting stuff.

Maybe tweeting under the name @3lonmu5k would be enough? Or just tagging him?

“And the inaugural ‘Best SciFi Poster’ award goes to…”

I really don’t think the French can or should brag about revolution frequency. They only had to try again because the past ones either failed in bloody horror, or succeeded in bloody horror only to be followed by a rapid collapse

We’ve literally never been in this situation before. “Republicans are too monolithic to flip!” is just completely baseless, IMO

We need to impeach this year — you can’t just pause a democracy for two years and expect everything to work out, especially when the violations are this extreme.

Yes, that means convincing 16 GOP senators to elevate Vance. No, that’s not impossible just because Fox News or whatever

While we’re picking, I think Chavez is the natural choice. There’s a few establishment, selfish politician types like Bessnet, Burgum, and Rubio, but Chavez is by far the most nuanced of them AFAICT

Really tho hard to imagine a better case than a 91 y/o. Unless they give him a killer stimulant prescription and a copy of mein kampf??

More to your specific point: Pete Hegseth doesn’t give a shit about tariffs. They’re evil, not identical.

“JD Vance might commit crimes too” seems way, way better than all the “might”s that come with a total civil war… to say the least.

I guess this is precluding some sort of action-movie relatively-bloodless coup, but idk how that’d work, much less who to look to for it…

This is absurd — you want to let the president break the law because his successors might also break the law? #Impeachment2025 is the ONLY answer provided by the constitution, I agree with that; if you truly believe that it’s useless, then hopefully you’ve got in contact with your local militia.

Patriotism is just meaningless then. How can you be proud of an amorphous, arbitrary group of people with no one particular thing shared between them all other than the government?

Nations are just a supergroup of races. Is there a good version of racism?

Yeah accelerationism doesn’t mean “grow the economy” — crashing everything is right on track for them

That’s very fair — I’d talk philosophy of mothers and fathers in my ideal gender less world, but I think shorterm we can agree we don’t need them in our sponges.

BRB gonna brainstorm gender less replacements for a few hours

Cool, I’m just of the personal opinion that one of those words in particular is pretty loaded for some people, and doesn’t really add much beyond what “desecrate”/“destroy”/etc. do

lol does your name imply one of your cats is gay…? Rad

Throwback to when axe made slightly worse deodorants and then marketed them with badass wolves and lions n shit. So cool, so masculine — who doesn’t want to smell like a magical dire wolf?

After scrolling further, I have decided that it’s the latter and y’all are pervs. Godspeed!

Ok plz don’t eat me, friendly large mob, but: why…? Like, because it implied a gender binary? Or b/c “daddy” can be sexual? Or something else altogether??

brown bunny with cream chest

OMG you guys I saw 3 bunnies on my walk. THREE. BUNNIES.

Why is analytic philosophy so "boring" compared to continental philosophy? You know what I mean. Are there any controversial analytical philosphers out there with some kind of really provoactive"vibe"? You know what I mean.
#philsky

Really #PhilSci seems to have an usually-high amount of analytic polemics, now that I think about it: Derrida v Searle, Popper v Kuhn, and the rise n fall of the positivists in general come to mind.

More recently, debates over psychiatry and neuroscience have gotten particularly heated, too!

Is it possible that you’re looking for “polemic”, E.g. Nietzsche, Hegel, Schopy, Derrida?

Re:”why?”, I think the simple answer is that analytics are historically less likely to embrace standpoint theory, which means they’re loath to admit any personal biases or seem to engage in ad hominem.

But yeah preach otherwise, obv. Patriotism never existed, and it never will — there is only nationalism at various levels of self-awareness

Not sure I’m a huge fan of talking about the rape and murder of intangible concepts, just personally speaking
