This is because what they're fantasizing about isn't a civil war - it's the Rwandan Genocide. They fantasize about killing unarmed queers, Blacks, and liberals in the street with protection from state security forces and the full backing of the government.

the conservative project is to ban sex and mandate rape

yea there is no other mechanism by which the mind could work. understanding isn’t a commodity you insert into a brain, it’s the outcome of labor. substituting the labor of thought with AI substitutes understanding with uhhhhhh

Pantone's colour of the year is Landlord Beige. I give up.

Alas, to this point, the real cleavage in 2024 was "do you live in reality?"

Sorry to anyone who thought Wokeness was annoying but as we now know it's the price we pay for a civilized society

Discrediting the centre and right on policy isn't exactly difficult, given [gestures expansively at everything]. But it's never going to be achieved purely by combative confidence and a slick messaging style. You either back that up with genuine substance or the facade will crumble pretty quickly.

these people have too much $. tax them into the middle class.

drive.google.com/drive/folder... Every Drum machine since the 1970's this is so important

the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

As a man, nothing will turn you into a radical feminist faster than the first time you're shown the twitter mentions and DM requests of literally any woman on the internet.

We don't need a Joe Rogan of the left. We need Bryan to see what his sister's LinkedIn Message Requests folder looks like.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

snack attack...

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

Another view of the Frog this view makes it clear that it's a frog the last picture made me think it looked a bit like a bunny

Another view of the Frog

The Frog seen from behind

"It's Thatcherism on steroids - this is incredible, cutting and slashing public expenditure, doing all the things he's done….. That's leadership... He is amazing." Nigel Farage "[Milei] is the 'chainsaw-wielding, bushy-sideburned wild man of Hayekian free-market thinking'. He hailed Milei for giving Argentina 'the economic medicine it needs' through drastic spending cuts." Boris Johnson "Britain needs shock therapy. A Milei-style approach would mean radical surgery. First: stop the bleeding. Slash wasteful public spending. Shut down unproductive agencies and quangos... We need to aim for a primary [surplus." Jacob Rees-Mogg "Milei is the template." Kemi Badenoch "Javier Milei rightly tells the elite [at the] awful WEF the facts of life - socialism and state intervention tends to make people poorer." Richard Tice

As Argentina’s economy starts to rapidly unravel, let’s never forget the comments by our own politicians.

Ta.

i think something that has become extremely clear is that the way we communicate with and about each other online has gone way off the deep end. the degree to which folks claim moral superiority yet talk about others with absolute disdain and disregard is not a good indicator of where we are going.

going to embrace the theory that llms and only llms are conscious

This is exactly right. It's happening about the internet itself, too. People are assigning false rose-colored nostalgia memories to the web, describing a "good old days" that elides how terrible and exclusionary the past eras of the internet were.

One of the problems with the fascist movement's abuse of rights around "free speech", "free belief" and "free association" is that much of the left has abandoned these as hopelessly liberal and naive and inherently the ideological property of the right.

nostalgia is the mind killer

look up why Erikkka Kirk isn’t allowed in Romania.

in 2008 Erika Kirk, then known as Erika Frantzve, was involved with an org in Romania called “Children’s Relief International” that was allegedly trafficking children.

It seems to me like a lot - and I do mean *a lot* - of very important, wealthy dudes watched e.g. Harvey Weinstein being dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by his millions, and strongly identified not with the vindicated victims, but with the weeping convicted sex offender.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means

Ezra Klein liked and admired Charlie Kirk, who hated my trans child, so I'm going to view this as a display of true Ezra's character. You can apply this to every single centrist/liberal pundit or publication celebrating him. Got it. Message received.

idk maybe if palestinian children spent more time talking about the Great Replacement the democrats could have spared an ounce of mercy for them
