Every time I see this opportunistic grifter getting platformed, I'm going to start posting a link to the debate where @candiceodgers.bsky.social absolutely takes him to task

be wary of "leftists" who play around in alt right/groyper intellectual sewage. it's possible to oppose Israel without taking up "goy" memes and at this point many "leftist" spaces are /pol/ lite :|
🤦 I should have realized that before posting lol
it's so annoying when leftists get chided for not being empathetic or open minded enough towards the right, but it reveals an assumption that none of us were raised in the red environments we now oppose
there is a reason you rarely see op-eds from people who actually grew up around MAGA folks and in deep-red america *unless the angle is to chide liberal readers for a lack of empathy or understanding etc*
they don’t want pieces that say: i know these ppl. i lived with these ppl. they’re fash.
this is a key structural problem in how elite opinion journalism covers our politics. these folks don’t actually interact with the maga hoi polloi; and more importantly, *they do not want to do that* because if they did they’d have to admit - to themselves - that actual rank/fike MAGA are fashy.

Who needs to think about topics or actually do research when you can ask an LLM to give you an answer plausible enough that you feel satisfied regardless of the actually truth?

This video surrounds the discourse around memetics and the applied framework of reasoning that comes with viewing this form of media.
Tune in here for the full video ;)))

A note on footing. While we may disagree often with what others are saying, we don't always elaborate on our disagreement. Most often we signal disagreement briefly and indirectly. Including through changes in footing. 1/
for Musk and associated 4chan fucks, the entirety of "anti DEI" is about targeting Jews. many, if not most, literally believe that DEI is a Jewish white genocide plot.
If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.

📣 Call for Applications: ECPR SGEU ECR Pre-Workshop
“The Far-Right as a Social Movement in Europe” organized with @larboe.bsky.social, 30 June 2026, one day ahead of the ECPR SGEU Conference in Catania, Italy.
I think one of the few solid messages I received in childhood was "you are not owed anything by anybody". yes it was toxic for feeling like I mattered to anyone in my family BUT it also curbed any desire to coordinate my beliefs around receiving ally cookies
it's very hard to scrounge up any sympathy having been a conservative Catholic (and short term convert to a conservative form of evangelism). was it hard to learn that some people would not welcome me with open arms into any space I wanted? yeah! buck up!
"we have to be nice to people who are ex MAGA or else they'll go even further to the right!!"
so we agree, MAGAs have no independent moral convictions
There's this specific kind of white resentment that comes out a lot in online spaces, where white people act like being racialized gives you a 'weapon' in arguments that they can never access or deploy except by proxy, and they get *really* weird about that perceived 'non-white privilege.'
The pattern is here is consistent with the recursive antisemitism propaganda: fighting antisemitism/Iran because (insert conspiracy here about Jewish cabals)
It's actually profoundly similar to the way that eugenicist anti vaccine organisations worked to disrupt messaging around COVID (and previously MMR)

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it
Nowhere near enough media coverage about the interconnection between the destruction of content moderation, the proliferation of LLM "generative AI" bullshit engines, the death of consensus reality/knowledge making, misinformation and disinformation, & the aims of Western authoritarians and fascists
As former head of Stonewall Ruth Hunt said (with deep sarcasm),
"It's great to learn that the media *now* support butch lesbians."
Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs.
Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.
I should say "supposedly-somewhat-less-far right that also is the load bearing structure and incubation pool for the far-far right"
is there any longer a meaningful distinction between "right" and "far right" in the US? they've been indistinguishable for a long time and I can't help but wonder if continuing the distinction only serves to rehabilitate the otherwise completely repugnant policy ideas of the (less far) "right"
if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately
