The Dan Sullivan thing is going to be… interesting…
I wonder how many people are going to vote for the wrong one. More importantly, I wonder how many people the loser is going to claim they voted for the wrong one.
I would suggest, rather than xlax, use a suppository. Otherwise you’re gonna be a rather uncomfortable for a few hours while it works its way to the brick.
That’s what the Nazis did-- hurt everyone but in the process actually led to their own demise. Maybe I am anchoring myself too much to the analysis of Hanna Arendt but reading her book on the banality of evil,
The fuck you smoking?
The Nazis weren't stopped until the allies stopped them. Until that happened the genocidal campaign kept accelerating. Most of the German citizens either didn't know, pretended they didn't know or were actively part of it. Some were part of the resistance.
Guess what? that's HAPPENING NOW. you're living in Nazis America, and you're being like "yeah, well, uh. Just let them keep on keeping on. What's a little fucking genocide.
This kind of accelerationist thinking is exactly how we got here; and I wouldn't exactly be looking at Hannah Arrendt for wisdom here- she was a Zionist who helped enable the modern era of Israeli genocide of Palestinians by assisting jews flooding British Palestinian mandate (when it was going to be turned over to an Arab/Jewish state... subsequently resulting in the '47-48 war in Mandatory Palestine and subsequent 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
yeah, she subsequently distanced herself from that official Zionism- weakly advocating for a secular Arab/Israeli state (like what was supposed to be), but you can see the stupidity of thinking fascists will just stop in her own history.
The question isn't whether or not fascism is a stable political philosophy- it's not. it will inevitably collapse. The question is how much pure, unadulterated evil are you willing to accept before you start making it collapse?
I'm glad you gave it a nice home, where it'll be loved by a cat.
I'm scowling at whoever dumped it though. (my mom was a quilter, I've seen her make hundreds so I have an idea of what goes into them. It's a lot of work and care and love. and sometimes, a lot of frustration and seam rippers.)
You really think the trans-hate is only going to affect people who are trans?
Any man or woman who aren’t sufficiently cookie-cutter cisgendered are going to be affected. Including people who simply work in fields that are typically gendered and not their gender. Women who are doctors or scientists, men who are nurses or stay-at-home.
People who just don’t look masculine or feminine enough. Women who don’t dress like couch cushions to let Vance creep out on them.
Pretty much anyone who doesn’t present themselves as they want are going to be “trans”.
And that’s ignoring creepy ass men checking a child’s genitals.
And of course, trans people are worth protecting, same as any other person.
It's fucked us over. So yeah. the headline might as wel be "Over half of YoUnG MuRiCaNs are too stupid to realize they're being fucked over by fascists!"
Red onions got their name because, at the time of their discovery, purple didn't exist as a color descriptor. Over time, a more complex language for colors evolved, and hues like yellow, green, and, yes, purple, entered our vocabulary. As with many quirks of language, names don't always evolve with our understanding of the world. (For example, the pineapple was named by a British explorer bereft of any understanding of the fruit.)
It may seem strange to think that specific names for colors are a matter of invention. After all, red and purple being two distinct colors seems like a simple fact today. However, it is important to note that language plays a big role in creating these variations. Pink, in particular, was not used as a color descriptor in English until the 17th century. And before the word orange was invented, orange items were often called red or geoluhread in English-speaking countries, which translates to yellow-red.
She was the ringleader for the state house coup back in 2025 (where they tried to elect her speaker of the house after playing games with absent members.)
