fuckin’. WHAT!?
like i absolutely believe you, but this sounds completely insane
even if he doesn’t, we should still write “Deposed Dictator Blues” about him
it’s a reference to a poem about the rise of the nazi party in the 1930s
so… sony pictures i a money laundering scheme, right? am i crazy to think this?
this is america. lacking media literacy is our whole deal. we tell ourselves to avoid propaganda, stick to the “real news” then people who grew up surrounded by propaganda come here and are like “oh holy shit, y’all actively consume propaganda, this is WILD”
that’s the craziest part to me! fuckin’ tankies acting like a hyperfascist regime is their ally is bonkers
it’s so much not a stretch that it simply just is. it’s the kinda stretch you get sleeping in a perfectly neutral resting position for 8 hours
that’s more people than live in my community growing up. that’s more people than went to most people’s highschools. that’s more people than who most people are able to remember names for.
it’s a mind boggling number of people that russia sent to die exclusively for the purposes of hating Ukrainians
my objection to snaps came before i knew they were proprietary. they actually factually run worse
they forgot what they were nevering again and got too caught up on the details. also Israel was founded by Nazi sympathizers and collaborators, including the founder of mossad was a member of the SS
thank you alduous huxley for the warning. maybe with the next rise of fascism we’ll be better equipped to listen to the story tellers warning us about the dangers we’re in
bandcamp gets the crown for “most least worst.” i’ve even met a few artists who say they prefer fans to stream on bandcamp to spotify or qobuz because they make enough more money per purchase than per stream, and enough streams convert to purchases, that they get paid more the more people are listening on bandcamp
Christ. most of them.
George Washington got to be in charge of a country that enshrined chattel slavery in its constitution for 20 years. Thomas Jefferson provided military aid to France’s efforts to quash a slave revolt in Haiti. Andrew Jackson personally orchestrated a genocide against the Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw (all of whom were aligned with american interests). Zachary Taylor put a bounty on bison, in an effort to starve the native Americans of the great plains. Abraham Lincoln allowed his western military expeditions to do basically whatever to the native Americans. Andrew Johnson started the process of letting confederate leadership be who directed reconstruction rather than being punished for it.
And here we reach Ulysses S Grant. one of America’s favorite punching bag presidents because he got scammed rather frequently, but when you dig into why he was prone to getting scammed, it’s because he thought it was America’s duty to use its economic power to help the lowest people in society. it’s hard to be mad at a guy who was trying so hard to help people that sometimes he let someone con him into thinking they deserved help.
i can keep going on how a ton of our historical presidents have sucked. i’m still personally willing to say the top 3 are Andrew Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and Donald trump
Adam Smith: you gotta bust up monopolies because competition drive’s innovation
the rich: you heard the man! all the wealth has to be consolidated with us! greed is good!
77 million americans looked at the horrors of russian terror and said “yes please”
for some people it’s an excellent topical ointment. for others like me, we’re allergic and it makes us itchy
they’re fediverse mascots. i’m not sure about the middle two, but the far left one represents Sharkey (a transfriendly misskey fork) and the far right one represents Pleroma (a fediverse platform written by far right chuds that’s been forked into akkoma about it)
all of that is because gender is socially derived. we don’t need to attach any aspect of our personality to our gender, or any of our gender to our personality. given this, we can understand all gender to be either contrived or performative. if gender is performative, we can contrive associations that are positive and hopefully raise a new generation of decently well adjusted men who get us closer to living in a post gender-coded society
