This and all of the above, exactly. She did nothing wrong but some frustrated idiot managed to find one frame, and from then on that frame was plastered all over the internet to mean “insane triggered feminist” or whatever. I’m sure this person is sick and tired of seeing her face be used for “triggered feminist”, not sure she’d like it to be used for “triggered MAGA” too. I’m sure we can find an actual triggered MAGA since persecution fetish is their favorite thing.

I’m here for the observation but don’t do my girl dirty like that. She’s been through enough.

Nice try, FBI!

I think your comment could be more productive if you drop the “solar shill” crap. Speaking as someone who’s never taken sides in this (except against fossil fuels): we’re all looking for solutions. And yes, nuclear is good and should grow, as should solar and others. We need to rely as little as possible on energy that harms the environment. Keep it positive because it’s a shame for good points to go to waste because they’re surrounded by cheap accusations.

Could be. It was definitely a passive-aggressive move against Israel intended to put them in an uncomfortable position and make people think harder about their demonic acts, as well as get media to report on them.

Don’t worry, he put a spiritual spin on it (probably) so it’s ok, it’s actually cleansing you see!

I think their hidden agenda is actually to bankrupt The Onion.

The future is still not written. There’s no reason to give up in advance as we really don’t know how things will shake out, there’s so much stuff happening. Make sure to make connections you can fall back on for rainy days. Hang in there, friend.

Appreciate the kind words, you seem like a good person too.

We told you…

Then there must be pushback from the people who know better. Raising the alarm is not brainwashing — the brainwashing is when MAGA types tell people there’s no threat.

Also, Europe needs to get its shit together and stop pulling punches with regard to helping Ukraine.

Don’t do it. It’s not worth it. It makes you bitter more often than numb. It’s better for your mental health to channel your frustrations into something useful. Get involved somehow, make yourself useful for others. Collaborate with some direct aid org. Start making content on the internet where you speak your mind and talk about how you see the world, you might end up turning a few people.

The thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of the alienation we feel is because most paid work doesn’t really touch people. It’s either too abstract (office work that only helps your company make money by servicing other companies so that they can make money) or direct servicing of disgruntled customers in a hurry (most customer facing work, like barista, cashier, call center, etc.). Really there’s few jobs where you feel like you do something worthwhile, so try to get involved in something for your soul, something that contributes to directly building the world you want to build.

He’s said some things…

I guess it’s a start, though I hope he calls them out more directly. He was pretty close to Francis after all, and Francis even donated his popemobile to be turned into a mobile clinic for Gaza (no doubt to draw media attention to what Israel is doing).

even though intensive media brainwashing no one even seriously believe Russia will attack us (well, maybe except the usual tinfoil brains)

I’m getting flashbacks to Jan-Feb 2022. That’s what people thought about Ukraine despite intelligence reports warning that Putin is making moves.

Of course, Poland is in EU and NATO, so it’s definitely in a better position, but keep in mind that all deterrents have limits — as we speak there’s a full-on war being fought between two nuclear powers.

The promises of an alliance treaty are, at the end of the day, just that: promises. Posturing to scare off potential attackers. Just because we’ve never seen someone actually call that bluff, doesn’t mean it will never happen.

A guy like Putin could gamble that NATO countries won’t send troops to Poland because they’ll make similar calculations as towards Ukraine: that it’s not worth risking nuclear war. He already sees how NATO countries right now are behaving, pussyfooting around giving aid to Ukraine, so he could believe they will approach Article 5 with the same limp attitude. Especially now that USA is talking about leaving NATO and antagonizing Europe like never before.

Plus, all the “why should we help Ukraine” type rhetoric coming out of the European MAGA-aligned sphere is easily adaptable to Poland: “Why should we help Poland? Just because they’re in NATO? I’m not a globalist, I look after the interest of my own country first because I’m a patriot. I don’t want to send my people to fight NATO’s wars. I refuse to die for the globalists!”

I read this as pro-piracy and anti-AI, generally speaking, since the former is for personal use (art should be free to share and enjoy) while the latter is for commercial use (you should not be allowed to freely profit off the work of artists).

She was briefly on Trump’s plane. Around the debate with Harris. It’s likely he took the “eating the pets” line from her, since that was a rumor spread in nazi circles, particularly on Gab.

It’s also possible they had an affair during that time. MTG got really angry with Loomer and they started trashing each other on Twitter for all to see. It was glorious.

I mean… It’s Laura Loomer. She’s like bottom of the barrel QAnon nazi.

Stalinism was no extreme left. It was fascism, but with Marxist aesthetics.

Fascists are con men, and cons work on what’s popular with the masses. You can build an arbitrary dogma and cult of personality around anything, even Marxism.

I’d argue that Marxism is actually great for that purpose: it gets a lot of stuff right so it’s close to reality, there’s an us vs them dynamic already built in, and it’s just complicated enough to the average person that it makes it easy for an authoritarian con man to disingenuously simplify it, distort it and dogmatize it into basically a state religion. Then it’s just about pointing fingers to identify the enemy, i.e. who is burgeois/reactionary/etc and needs to go.

I guess it makes sense. I wouldn’t understand you either from 50km away.

The markdown for the pic is slightly incorrect and causing problems on my app so here’s the fix:

I mean, the wall is still being built so just wait it out. That way the US will pay for it.
