Why even bother asking the question at this point? That was as tame (and true) of a response as you can get.

Finally got around to watching that HBO Chernobyl mini-series and I only wonder when, not if, this exact or equivalent type of catastrophic scenario will happen in the US. I’d guess MUCH sooner rather than later.

“With every lie told, it incurs a debt to the truth. That debt must always be repaid.”

Politico really with their finger on the pulse….of a corpse

My god this is so embarrassing to call what is essentially a complete straw-man, “journalism” 😂😂😂

Can we get a skins game between him and Kim Jong Un….Kim probably cheats less

wtf based Huckabee?! (How sad the bar for “based” has fallen)

I “watched” it back in ‘09 when my brother got drafted. It was only the draft tracker, then. Imagine sitting through 21 rounds of names just appearing. None of us were even paying attention when his name was finally on the screen and didn’t know until his phone rang with a Detroit area code.

I think clinging on to these instances of hypocrisy is just self-flagellation at this point. Moral standards are made up and fluid, they know it, they don’t care.

Line-item veto has long been a Wisconsin staple

In addition to trying to destroy historic buildings? Shocker 🙄 Never understood why he has been so beloved by fans

Probably about the same time that everything became “communism/socialism,” the floodgates have been open since before the first Red Scare…

(this is why semantics ARE important — my dissertation on this is becoming more prophetic by the day, unfortunately)

“Leo Ryan visits Jonestown” 2.0

Anarchy ≠ chaos. Anarchy is the absence of hierarchy. This is an autocracy. This is an important distinction to make if we are going to clearly understand and define what is happening.

Wtf Trump is based now?!?!

Gotta be satire

His supporters would rather be in the soup line than be kind to POC and other marginalized folks

The question I’ve been pondering is how exactly do you reintegrate these people and their fan club back into society after this fever dream abruptly ends? Can they be? Doing nothing just allows these sentiments to fester over time and leads to their re-emergence down the road, as we’ve seen post-WW2

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

I had a whole section in my writing course this past term where I had my students just write Onion-style articles….fuck it, application sent!

“Drake barely responded to Kendrick, now THAT is DECORUM!”

Funny thing about compelled speech….something something first amendment

My gf and I at the bank:

“Just need a replace debit card, please.”

Banker:

“Sometimes when I get way too drunk, I lay on the floor of my bathroom in a ball and turn on the shower just to hear rain noises”

Not attend. Hold your own event where the party takes bold policy stances and provides a coherent plan of how to get there. Explain what you’re going to do for people, acknowledge the danger of fascism, but maintain focus on what the party will actually do for folks moving forward.

So many examples in here are not really disinformation. Difference between misinformation and disinformation is intent, usually understood as intent to harm.

Apologies for the delay, I’ve tried to take a break from here for my own mental health. Long story short, fascism is largely rooted in Roman philosophy (though Hitler loved the Greeks, too) and sees itself as a spiritual successor to Ancient Rome, copying ultranationalist and racist tendencies

In light of the constant barrage of horrid events that shake our core, my partner and I are having AI write us a new story about our cat nightly. Last night, she was a hip-hop legend; tonight, she is a drag queen. Please don't forget to make time for humor. Joy is an act of rebellion after all

Fascism does not have a basis in socialism nor anarchism, even historically. They are diametrically opposed ideologies. I’m happy to go into more detail, if you’d like. I wrote my dissertation on this very topic of how they’re misconstrued, but I won’t bore you with details unless you want them!

There is no part of fascism based on socialism. You’re just thinking of populism, in general

Please explain to your constituents what you’re materially going to do about this. People are tired of all of the empty platitudes and rhetoric. Folks want actual change and to be shown the steps that will get us there. Playing nice with Nazis does not work!

Bold assumption there will be free and fair elections…let’s make sure to even get to that point
