Hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if encouraging leftists to go out and buy guns to kill politicians is straight out of the COINTELPRO playbook
Americans love the idea of having someone else do their dirty work for free. So the endless "Why won't anyone shoot more Republicans? I guess they're all pussies" carping is less about the actual state of American politics and much more about people on the Internet wanting a new thing to jerk off to.
I don't know how you distinguish this from regular old Alex Jones tier bullshit.
Plenty of pushback against Trump. But the news coverage is always some mix of "These leftists are too weak to stop us" and "These leftists are ruining America! Send in tanks to crush them!"
Trump's already had somewhere north of three different assassination attempts on him. We've got protests and riots running from LA to DC. How many times does a President have to call out the National Guard to suppress the public before it counts?
The US government has shifted its rhetoric. But you're fooling yourself if you believe we've meaningfully changed our foreign policy.
Half the joke of the Biden Admin was in how it picked up Trump's '20-era policies and continued them seamlessly into '25, with little more than a rainbow colored bumper sticker as a fig leaf.
No no no. My Good'ole'Boy high school curriculum told me the slaves were forced off the Plantation by the mean Union thugs in their War Of Northern Aggression.
Clearly, this picture is just out of context or propaganda or idk he was clearly doing drugs and the police were just trying to help him out but he wouldn't stop resisting.
The issue isn't about thwarting the plan. The Wall already doesn't work. Even conservative think tanks will admit to that much.
The issue is coming back to The Wall as a cultural rallying point. Build it 10' taller. Build two walls. Put turrets on the walls. Patrol with drones. Add more barbed wire. Unleash sharks with laser beams on their heads into the Rio Grande. Litter the border with radioactive waste.
Anything to get people to turn their eyes south and say "Aaaah! Invasion! It must be stopped!" The Wall is just the latest panacea for a problem these people invented. They're going to keep coming back and re-imagining it in between cooking up increasingly elaborate hoaxes about armies of brown people marching across it to Steal our Freedom.
Honestly, I'm upset at these Big Government Nanny State tactics, trying to scare me into not eating the radioactive shrimp which I've heard are actually healthier than regular shrimp.
Can we get DOGE to investigate these guys? Who is bankrolling them to spread misinformation?
We know about dinosaurs because we had a large and enthusiastic media campaign to promote their discovery and study.
People who grew up in households that weren't exposed to Paleontology as a science, but got immersed in religious propaganda and mythology, came out with a totally different understanding of the world.
This has nothing to do with human intelligence. Although, the intrinsic need to stack rank every population into "Smarties" and "Dummies" is another instance of Calvinist propaganda (transmuted by Ayn Randian eugenic theories) tricking otherwise intelligent people into believing the craziest and most incoherent things.
How the fuck is the left losing to literal insane people and morons.
The size and scale of media available to the Silicon Valley tech sector has afforded them enormous leverage over modern Americans and their view of the world. "The Giant of Kandahar" is one example of a mythology that helps explain why Americans lost in Afghanistan, without ceding that our whole 23 year occupation was a mix of waste and incompetence. It's one part engagement-bait, one part conspiracy theory, and one part evangelical propaganda (the Giant is further embellished as a Nephilim, thus proving we were fighting a Holy War overseas and not just engaged in an opium-laced land grab).
I fucking hate these people, but I really hate all of the mother fucking morons and degenerates that helped put them into these positions more. And that includes all of you dumbasses that just didnt vote for Kamala
The claim that Kamala Harris lost because she was stabbed in the back by far-left, transgender, pro-Putin antisemites is its own brand of BlueMAGA mythology and serves much the same purpose as the dogmatic superstition on the right.
You did this and now we all suffer because of it.
The folks leading the charge are the billionaires profiting off the exploitation. They aren't suffering. They're getting sucked off at orgies full of sex trafficking victims imported from countries - like Israel and El Salvador and Japan and German - where we've built up a large military presence for the purpose of exploitation.
Everyone else is told that they either need to throw their support behind this rapist pig wanna-be Mussolini or the AIPAC-aligned insurance company ghoul, because failing to support My Team means you deserve whatever misery is inflicted by Their Team.
Somehow, the pain we all end up experiencing from outside the corporate walled garden is always either Fake News (when My Team is Winning) or Your Own Stupid Fault (when Their Team is Winning).
Coming from Trump, it's more of a "They can do it, so why can't we do it?" fascist whining. But West Germany remained a fascist enclave from the 1950s straight up until the 1980s. And fascists continue to riddle the police, the media, and the financial sectors to this day.
This makes the content of the evaluations irrelevant
It's a pot calling the kettle Nazi. But it isn't wrong.
I mean, that's sort of the joke. Just ICE Spiderman pointing at MET Spiderman.
Starmer's out there doing Liberal Fascism to satisfy a bunch of Zionists who won't be happy until Nigel Farage has his head on a pike. Not unlike how Biden, Hochul, and Adams handled the Columbia student protests.
Trump gets in a few face punches because his liberal opposition are too busy fishing in their pants for AIPAC donations.
Imagine a world in which every picture of a white person came out with them looking olive green.
And imagine the camera company - based out of the ultra-wealth Ethiopian tech sector that holds all the patents on the technology - putting out a PR brief that says "Nothing we can do. Human skin isn't supposed to be that reflective."
Could this be adjusted for?
Yes. But it would require people to acknowledge the problem and care enough to fix it.
On the one side, this is indicative of the modern state of "Free Speech" on Twitter.
On the other, its illustrative of the double-standard afforded in-house automated tools relative to outsider participants. If Grok wasn't Elon's pet AI, there's no way it would have been reinstated.
Christian nationalists say that other people shouldn't watch porn but that they've figured out a curious caveat within the faith that exempts them, personally. Then they establish special repositories of pornographic material that serve as an incentive for membership and a form of blackmail against turncoats.
Porn becomes a more direct means of patriarchal control - both in how it restricts which senior members are allowed to buy it and (in turn) which women are allowed to sell it, and at what price. It is a form of societal monopsony intended to make sex work a privilege afforded to elites at below market rates.
Americans love the idea of having someone else do their dirty work for free. So the endless "Why won't anyone shoot more Republicans? I guess they're all pussies" carping is less about the actual state of American politics and much more about people on the Internet wanting a new thing to jerk off to.
