I also think this was due to pervasive Japanophobia from the mid-80s to the late 90s, when Japan became the world's largest economy (and the United States has big insecurities about non-white countries being better than them). Most positive portrayal of Japanese culture (even if wrong) was targeted.

Outlasting fascism is a war of attrition. And one of the best ways to do that is to make it clear how it's all based on image, projecting strength rather than HAVING strength.

And those cute inflatable frogs having a party are doing a good job of making it clear just how weak these vain fucks are.

Gojiraghost @gojiragon.bsky.social · 1d

It's why the Nazis and fascist Italy collapsed 5 years after starting a war. All of their tactics were built on either torturing their enemy (and thus wasting everything) or using as many resources as they could to take something, because they assume they can always get more even if they couldn't.

Fascism is a faux-strong man ideology and demands faux-strong man tactics. Like strongarming. Or Blitzkrieg.
It requires using all of your strength at once to hit someone as hard as you can, regardless of readiness or strategy. It is not a system built on perseverance.

Also, you *absolutely* beat fascism by defying it. By delegitimizing it. By making it look ridiculous. It doesn't minimize the threat; it exposes how weak they all really are.

Also, haven't the protesters literally talked about how making the reports of "War-battered Portland" look ridiculous? Surely this asshole would've read about that by now.

So what's finally going to be the thing to take him?
His cardiovascular disease?
His dementia?
His kidney failure?
What will finally be the thing to cause him to kick the bucket, the thing that many Republicans are too terrified to be honest about lest it cause a schism within the party?

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

How is a gossip magazine doing a better job of True bipartisan reporting than actual legacy media?

People are still doing “there aren’t going to be midterms” posts as we see these people struggle to handle a guy in a frog costume

Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev saying “You are accused of doomer behavior. The court finds you guilty and sentences you to be shot.”

Oh, they’re quite easy to get. They’re lonely troglodytes to get angry when they’re punished for their bad deeds and so they want revenge on the rest of the world for not giving them “what they’re owed.”

This is the most infantile president of any nation that has ever existed.
He really has the energy of a baby thrashing about on the floor throwing a temper tantrum.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

If you wanna know why Miller and Vought and Vance are speedrunning the playbook it's because they know when he goes they no longer have the juice to finish the plan. No one is gonna listen to them and there will be a power vacuum.

It’s… alright. Focusses a lot on body swap and the monsters rather then the school stuff.

Gojiraghost @gojiragon.bsky.social · 3d

OK… What the hell is this? Seriously, I have no context for what this is, but it sounds like it would be a joke in the legal system.

Gojiraghost @gojiragon.bsky.social · 3d

More evidence that both Trump is sundowning and that Stephen Miller is the real power behind him.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

I’ve been mostly avoiding any video of Trump for quite a while, but just saw some from the other day and holy shit! He’s declined so rapidly. Not that he wasn’t substantially oatmeal-brained this time last year, but now he’s 10x more of a babbling, mumbling old shit-demon. Amazing (derogatory)!
