Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

"It’s disgusting and, frankly, counterproductive to point out that I voted for this. To imply that I had personal free will and agency when I walked into a voting booth and picked Mayor Bomberman is insulting."

This is what gets me about these douches branding themselves as anti-establishment: RFK Jr wants to kill your children to avoid admitting that a scientist from a peasant family knows more about vaccines than him. His conspiracist BS is him assuming he knows better than anyone cos he was born rich

I feel like I'm going crazy: ONE OF THE BIGGEST PUSHER OF EPSTEIN RICH PEDO CONSPIRACIES NEVER ASKED TRUMP ABOUT HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH EPSTEIN. NOT EVEN BY MISTAKE OR A SOFTBALL. His "centrism" is branding, he's a GOP goon who'll let Trump and Musk be pedos as long as they cut taxes and bomb Mexico

Armchair hypothesis: the intellectual work of having to think strategically makes killing your neighbours so you can take their shit feel sophisticated and clever. This makes it easier to rationalise why it's not a dumb power fantasy that becomes evil when you apply it to real ppl

YMMV but this feels worse cos the cheerleaders for Bush Jr had the excuse of "I watched innocent ppl jump to their death rather than burn alive cos Bin Laden decided that was the best way to avenge Palestine" while Trump 2.0 has "durr mcdonalds/joe rogan told me to"

Tbf it's totally consistent to say sanctions hurt civilians, but given their relatively broad support of war crimes inflicting unemployment on Israeli/Russian civilians to save Ukrainian/Palestinian lives is acceptable. But a lot of leftists refuse to admit they are making this compromise

Immigration is one of those issues where if ppl were consistent they'd sound insane. I'd love to hear from the guy who doesn't want his job stolen so he's anti-immigration, pro-abortion, constantly encouraging ppl to emigrate, and thinks assisted suicide should be massively expanded

Reminded of Clare Daly denouncing the Russophobia of the EU condemning Navalny's imprisonment. After all what's more hateful towards Russian or Chinese citizens than saying they are not property and playthings of their dictators? /s

We as a society need to get more comfortable with the phrase "I understand it, I just don't respect it"

“All politicians are liars so Obama and Hitler are basically the same” is the dumbest fucking thing 90% of the voting public actually believes.

One of the most high profile early MeToo cases was Kevin Spacey. So sure, many male voters have more sympathy and solidarity with the men who want to rape them than women. These voters are fundamentally pathetic and do not deserve respect
