He’s going to do it.

We have to stop letting boers into the USA until we figure out what is going on.

If it had been me, I simply would have not swallowed the bee.

Actual antisemitism (hatred of jews rather than questioning isn’treal) has been an american thing since day one. Columbus left Spain on his famous voyage while his financial backers were expelling jews who had been there for centuries at least, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find that some of the money for his three ships came from expelled jews.

I’m half jewish and can count the number of antisemitic comments I’ve heard in my life on one hand, but one was just a few weeks ago when I was at the supply store for my blue collar job, a wretched hive of rightwing scum and villainy, where one of the white boomers there said something about “jewing someone down” right next to me. This dude also almost certainly supports amerikkka committing suicide to defend isn’treal. I of course couldn’t say a fucking word to this piece of shit because then I would have trouble doing basic shit for my job for the rest of my career in this hellhole.

Counterpoint: keep an eye on the news and do whatever you can to help our friends in the Middle East.

California has one of the best state flags IMO. I wish we could keep the bear and the hammer and sickle somehow.

I did recently hear a Trump voter just being perplexed by the idea of tariffs, and he was seemingly aware that they had not helped lower the price of anything.

The police are feeling emboldened by Trump and acting even shittier than usual, people are getting more pissed off at them than usual, so it’s definitely possible that the nothing ever happens crew could soon be in shambles.

I’ve been meaning to make a thread about an IRL vibe shift. I go jogging a few times a week and I live in an area that’s really touristy in the summer. I usually say “free palestine” to people as I pass them. 99% of the time, people just ignore me. I’ve said this to hundreds of people. This is a rich white liberal area and you need some money to vacation here. Only one person has ever answered me positively, and she seemed to be an Indian college student. This was months ago. But a few days ago I went jogging, and tourists were here for the first time this summer. I said free palestine as I passed them on my jog. And two of them agreed with me. Two! On the first day! Two white people! So I have to wonder if some sort of vibe shift is taking place. A majority of Americans disapproves of isntreal for the first time. Are the libs just pretending to be socialists when they’re out of power (and will they revert to “everything good is impossible” mode once they get back into the White House?) or is this a permanent change? It happened again yesterday. Not many people were out, but I said free palestine to two white boomers, and one ignored me while the other agreed with me! What is happening?

I think the lib characters you mention also have online presences, but they don’t really appeal to anyone under the age of fifty.

Some AI images I’ve seen are so disturbing, they’re becoming intrusive thoughts.

I watched the first season, and I just saw the first episode of the second season, and this was a day after watching the new BBC documentary about settlers in the West Bank. I did notice how the aesthetics of the little patsoc enclave in the last of us match those of the isn’treali settlers; i.e., wearing machine guns all the time, dressing like cowboys, dehumanizing the enemy and blowing them away even when they aren’t attacking you and then laughing about it, living in a walled town, etc… I only watched this because my younger son was into it, and after the first episode, we watched a little of the BBC documentary together, and he was also shocked at the parallels.

Isn’t it always toilet paper, for Freudian reasons?

We’ve all noticed the r-word making a comeback but even terms like “lame,” “dumb,” and “stupid” are ableist and should not be used. Colonial terms like “looting” and “thugs” and “savage” always piss me off. Using the word “dark” to refer to anything negative is obviously not okay.

I can’t stand when people use “child” or “childish” as an insult. No one is easier to radicalize than kids. And it’s not because they’re ignorant or underdeveloped, it’s because they haven’t been propagandized into loving capitalism. Even relatively wealthy kids get very little out of capitalism. Kids are addicted to video games because they have no other control over their lives and are desperate for any kind of escape from this hellhole. Video games provide a world where work actually results in obvious achievements, while the vast majority of humanity is trapped in a world of endless toil with all the results and benefits going to a tiny minority.

It drives me crazy when people say your brain isn’t fully developed until you’re 25. Bruh our brains never stop changing.

Body-shaming when we all know that beauty is a social construct.

We can’t be raging communists all the time, we have to pick our battles, we don’t just charge machine guns while waving our hands and screaming, etc. This is what I tell myself while I am surrounded by people who are either nazis or people who don’t care about nazis.
