The metaphysics of these guys are genuinely incredible. They think Online is real in the way real life is real. Elon filled Twitter with weird Nazis therefore the world has to be filled with them. Greta Thunberg's tweets did numbers ergo she was as powerful as the shadow president oligarch - ThreadSky

You are so right! I had to read the quote twice to make sure I read it correctly the first time. Mind boggling.

It's a self-created bubble with their own insider language. OTOH, Greta Thunberg must be thrilled to know she's the equivalent of the US Government.

Fascists understand that our government creates our currency

All else is side show

He’s a LOT dumber than they told us he was.

Jesus, that really is the key. I was trying to understand how “ten years of scolding” was a trial that US democracy managed to survive, but there it is

Same, I was like WTF?!?

You could also read it as "oil & gas profits managed to survive Thunberg"
They're venal enough for that, but not rational enough

Vance is *such* an emotional weakling. Seriously, “surviving 10 years of Greta Thunberg”? What kind of pearl-clutching daybed fainter even thinks something like that?

maiamindel.bsky.social•8 days ago

The thing about him is that he's still mad that his Yale law school peers from 2009 didn't treat him like a cross of Jesus and Albert Einstein for being a minimally intelligent guy from Appalachia, and instead treated him as an annoying nuisance because of his personality

Vance seems to have many bitter resentments, none of which he’s effectively dealt with. Mixed with his overwhelming ambition, it’s no wonder he’s in such agony. He’s a poster child for “men will do anything to avoid therapy.”

Also, nobody, and I mean nobody, is more sensitive to criticism or exclusion than American right wingers.

It always weirds me out when people who have like, spouses and kids and jobs you'd think would take up most of their time talk like sad people who have nothing better to do than yell at people on the internet all day. Call it Glenn Greenwald syndrome.

That’s why they are so scared of Taylor Swift
