Among Portland Protests, It’s Frogs and Sharks and Bears, Oh My!

Portland's inflatable animal protesters are doing what some furries have been doing for years.

I've been suiting at many protests this year and for No Kings Oct 18 I'm bike marshalling. Don't risk suit damage but some of these tell you the risk levels before you go.

Squeeee! Only the latest 1password beta supports it so far

Yep. Democracy is ending because famous people got online, and can’t comprehend that 1000 screaming complaints out of 850,000 people who scrolled by is statistically nobody.

“I’m under attack!” no, .0001% of folks spent 2 secs of brain space to yell at you

Not to mention 2020, where the last wave of resistors to web culture were finally forced online, completely uninoculated to the slow creep of radicalisation (AND enshittification) the rest of us have built up a tolerance to. It must have felt like snorting a line off the Ark of the Covenant.

We also underestimate how modern much right wing culture evolved from resentment that they could not follow even moderate community standards.

They found themselves into situations where they couldn't bully or shout down the people around them, and it radicalized them.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Don't act like this please

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

RFK Jr.'s attack on mRNA vaccines will cost lives HHS shouldn't pull the plug on vaccine breakthroughs

RFK Jr.’s attack on mRNA vaccines will cost lives
HHS shouldn't pull the plug on vaccine breakthroughs. If RFK is successful in rolling back any vaccine’s approval, many will suffer and die. Using children as his guinea pigs is unconscionable. He must be removed.

How anti-trans activists silence their opponents People claiming to be ‘silenced’ are being featured in national mainstream media platforms. There’s a word for that

…are in fact the ones doing the silencing. Bindel getting an article in mainstream media yesterday when no trans person did, evidences my point.

This type of hate activism is closely related to Mirror Propaganda, another dishonest (they’re all dishonest) strategy deployed by GC transphobes.

… Provoke & Publicise can only work when the people doing the provoking (whether racists or transphobes), fully control the media.

So when they claim they are being “silenced” in reality their total control of a racist/transphobic media means not only are they not being silenced but they…

…using their control of mainstream media to portray anti-segregationists as violent and therefore “unsafe” to have in “their” schools.

It is a deeply dishonest modus operandi as it depends on portraying the victims of their oppression as “silencing the oppressors, when the opposite is true…

2/4

Provoke and Publicise was originally used as a strategy by the racist segregationists about Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas in 1957 to try and enforce a different, but equally invalid form of apartheid. It involves provoking a response from the victims of oppression and then…

AI generated furry merch is like the polar opposite to what furry culture stands for, with its own artists and crafters creating the most incredible, most personal art one could get
Mass produced clothing with AI generated images printed on top can only pretend to be like us through generalization
