It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Stop conceding in advance, clutch your freaking man pearls and figure out how you, yes you, are going to fight back.

His breaks failed and he rolled from the TX capitol building right down into Travis Lake. Big Disney channel villain energy SPLASH!!

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

Those are the kinds of moments when “no emotion lasts forever” becomes the thing I have to repeat to myself. Even the worst feelings and thoughts can’t stick around, as much as they might try to convince us otherwise. Hang in there, friend. ❤️

I say this a lot but we are all so lucky this generation of fascists came of age on message boards and not stabbing people to death at close range in a trench while the world detonates endlessly around them

“Kiddo, if you are surrounded by 20 atheists and deny Jesus they’ll put it on the big screen at the day of judgement and everyone will watch it and Jesus will feel sad!”

Jordan Peterson stumbling through denying Christ is the kind of thing ten year old Christian children could proudly navigate and come out on top

Literally the “one day an atheist will try to trick you into denying Christ but you’ll stand firm! tell the truth, Timmy!” 2000s Sunday school daydream

This kid really mopped the floor with Jordan Peterson. The last sentence is gold.

there was a brief period of time where i thought jordan peterson would be a big threat to the left but i now view him as a harmless jester that dances for our amusement

Donald trump isn’t getting a parade for his birthday; the US army’s 250th celebration lands on that day, in the worst coincidence so far.

Of course he’s gonna make it all about him.

But y’all don’t have to carry water for the dictator by calling it “his parade”

now so often used: a tone for which the uses of the word outside literary criticism give no warrant at all. In what the misusers are fond of calling Real Life, Escape is evidently as a rule 10 | Page very practical, and may even be heroic. In real life it is difficult to blame it, unless it fails; in criticism it would seem to be the worse the better it succeeds. Evidently we are faced by a misuse of words, and also by a confusion of thought. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls? The world outside has not become less real because the prisoner cannot see it. In using escape in this way the critics have chosen the wrong word, and, what is more, they are confusing, not always by sincere error, the Escape of the Prisoner with the Flight of the Deserter. Just so a Party-spokesman might have labelled departure from the misery of the Führer's or any other Reich and even criticism of it as treachery. In the same way these critics, to make confusion worse, and so to bring into contempt their opponents, stick their label of scor not only on to Desertion, but on to real Escape, and what are often its companions, Disgust, Anger, Condemnation, and Revolt. Not only do they confound the escape of the prisoner with the flight of the deserter; but they would seem to prefer the acquiescence of the "quisling" to the resistance of the patriot. To such thinking you have only to say "the land you loved is doomed" to excuse any treachery, indeed to glorify it. For a trifling instance: not to mention (indeed not to parade) electric

"Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls? The world outside has not become less real because the prisoner cannot see it." -Tolkien, "On Fairy-Stories"

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

people regularly ask me what they should do to prepare for the possibility of mass violence and civil unrest. we give this advice often on It Could Happen Here but this is my list of advice in no specific order:

unpopular stance: ACAB includes Scully but not Mulder, because there's absolutely no way Fox Mulder understands what the law really is or that his job is to enforce it. he has less capacity for moral cognition than a K9 unit.

DAMN you’re so right
