Totally off topic, but Maggie is just awesome. If you aren’t familiar with her, I suggest doing a deep dive into her video essays on cinema and pop culture. Here’s a link to her site. Also, there’s a really interesting episode of Behind the Bastards with her as a guest, talking about being a descendant of notorious cannibalistic child killer Albert Fish.

I have nothing to add on the actual topic though.

Fair enough. It happens to us all.

I think it’s odd that you left out the part explaining what these men aren’t getting called out by their peers for.

These are men writing about their wives, their mums, their mate’s daughter, exchanging images, sharing women’s names, socials and contact details, and no one – not one man – is calling them out. They’re patting each other on the back.”

Men who are doxxing and sharing revenge porn of women is not the same thing as men “looking to fuck” a woman. This is sick sociopathic behavior. It’s weird that you can’t tell the difference.

Yeah now it’s all written by AI, sourcing their info from Twitter and Reddit posts that were also written by AI.

I realized journalism was truly dead a few years back when I noticed that most news articles online are just a bunch of Twitter posts talking about the headline. I fantasize about writing a movie where Edward R. Murrow comes back from the dead as a demon and just goes around slaughtering lazy journalists, which forces other journalists to actually do their fucking jobs.

The man attempted a coup and faced zero consequences for it. In fact, he was rewarded with a second term as president. Forgive me if I refuse to hold my breath for Democrats to do anything substantial to prevent him from wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Trump has said pollsters that have shown his approval ratings sliding in recent weeks should be investigated for “election fraud.”

He’s going to run for a third term. That’s what this means. Buckle up, y’all. We’re in for yet another Constitutional crisis that the Democrats will do exactly nothing about.

I hate how many people are already starting in with conspiracy theories. She was sex trafficked as a teenager, for fucks sake. Then her whole life was dragged through the mud in public view while she sought justice. Countless people take their own lives every day under far less stressful circumstances.

She didn’t know anything that Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t know, and that bitch is still breathing.

Conservatives don’t want you to exist. All other arguments they put forward are just soft-pedaling to that end goal.

“You might beat the rap, but you won’t beat the ride.”

This memo may not hold legal weight, but that won’t mean much when ICE black-bags you and sends you to a Salvadoran gulag from which there is no escape and no contact with legal services.

The point isn’t to convert the fascist. It’s to humiliate them

The point isn’t to make them feel humiliation

Make being openly fascist an embarrassing

Do you think about the things you say before you say them?

You can’t humiliate someone who has no shame. And with their firehose of falsehoods, you’ll only expose a small portion of their lies by the time they’ve already moved on. Nothing productive comes from waging a war of words with people who don’t believe in the words that come out of their own mouth.

All otters are assholes regardless of their size. There was a case a couple years ago in Montana of a woman being mauled by river otters. They damn near ripped her face off and tried to drown her. And these weren’t even the roided out Amazonian otters. Just normal river otters.

NSFW on that link. There’s your warning.

Republicans would have to win two thirds of state legislatures with MAGA loyalists to even bring a vote to overturn the 22nd. There is no way that happens legally, and Republicans know it. If they plan on a third Trump term, my bet is they will either be ignoring the 22nd altogether, or enacting emergency powers to suspend the entire Constitution indefinitely.

I’m not trying to be a pessimist, but this is the same kind of logic J6ers used in 2021. They believed that the election was stolen and tried to invade the capitol as a result.

And if they had been right, it would have been justified. The problem is that they had zero evidence of a stolen election. Trump went to court over 60 times to get the election overturned, and never once produced a shred of evidence that the election was stolen from him, even when it was in front of judges he personally appointed. The January 6th rioters were basing their actions on nothing more than right-wing propaganda.

In contrast, Trump is openly signaling that he is going to ignore the Constitution (or unilaterally alter it) and run for a third term. A January 6th style riot would be justified in this case (if all legal routes fail), because if he is allowed to get away with this, what’s stopping him from just handing his fourth presidency to Donald Jr, then Barron, and so on?

Its been so painfully obvious this man’s been Putin’s bitch since 2016

He’s been Russia’s bitch since at least 1987.

Same way.

This I agree with. However, I disagree with debating fascists. They don’t debate in good faith. Their aim in any debate is to wear you down by spewing more lies than you have the time or energy to debunk.

The amount of younger people that are sucked in hook, line, sinker, rod, boat, trailer and truck is staggering.

That demographic is a whole other problem that requires a whole other solution. Conservatives have spent a decade building the online right-wing pipeline with podcast bro’s and streamers aiming their content at young teenage boys. Now all those kids are of voting age, and a big chunk of them have spent half their lives being raised on manosphere bullshit that taught them that they are owed the world on a silver platter.

I will hand it to conservatives; they are frighteningly good at organizing and staying on message in ways that the Left can only dream of. If we could get half as organized as them, they’d never win another election.
