'luigi mangione being celebrated as a hero will lead to a valorization of vigilante violence' is one of those things that only sounds reasonable if you start paying attention to American vigilantism at the exact moment it targets someone with wealth and influence

crazy that after elon did this weird salute that nobody can identify, all these other right wing weirdos keep doing the same salute. almost like it has some kind of commonly-agreed-upon meaning

The constituency is bitter people who want to Own The Libs. That is the sum total of all of this. They're doing this to make us upset. Everything else is secondary.

i firmly believe that the ruin brought on american society by the american right wing, over many decades of build-up, is primarily the responsibility of americans (and specifically the american right wing) whether or not it was pushed along by foreign powers as well

starting to think this whole capitalism thing might be inherently prone to devolving into fascism as captains of industry believe their only chance to continue to gain profits is to hitch their wagon to an unstable and power-hungry autocrat

I think that it’s both true that the backlash to “woke” had far far more to do with structural racism/sexism etc than errors by activists, and also that people who should have known better, whose job working in politics and moving public opinion/policy, did fuck up in terms of choices they made.

Bureaucracy is feminine (bad) and violence is masculine (good) is a worldview that’s opposed to the rule of law itself.

At some point we have to accept that a plurality of cis white Americans don't want democracy and certainly don't want multiracial democracy. Trump's approval ratings wouldn't be where they are if that wasn't true. He wouldn't be in the white house if that wasn't true.

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

They would not proclaim such executive powers for "the president" if they believed President AOC could, in 2029, decide to unilaterally cut the defense budget by hundreds of billions. They are working to neuter free and fair elections. You can bet on it.

Again, I don’t think the average person realizes the degree of which these people have gone insane. You can state, just as a matter of fact, that Elon publicly believes we live in a “Truman Show” constructed by USAID. But you’re the one who sounds nuts if you say that!

The CIA and FBI are evil organizations responsible for incomprehensible misery domestically and abroad and if they can’t deploy some of that evil to save their own skins one wonders what the point of it all was

I know that all these institutions know how to push back because when Obama directed them to enforce pre-existing Title IX law, universities said no. They flat out refused until there was a working group and specific guidelines. And even then, they still refused.

What we're currently living through is a patriarchal panic reaction. Our society came a little too close to acknowledging trans people as not merely quirky zoo exhibits to gawk at on the margins of society. Too close to acknowledging our humanity. The response to this has been sheer terror.

This was the easiest thing to predict in the whole world and I resent every person across the political spectrum who called us hysterical for pointing out the inevitable. And now that he's back they're doing it again.
