In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s: One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the Gawker comments section, way back in the day. But as progressive movements swept through social media, others were tossed off Twitter and Facebook for stepping over a variety of lines, from allegations of harassment to claims of election misinformation. Pandemic era public health rules and fevered enforcement cost others their accounts.

Fascism is a social cancer in a very real way

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

There is ongoing scam happening posing as a black trans safe house in Texas. The fake org is "Black Trans Texas Connection."

There is an IG page
@blacktransscam

The former sentiment is what I remember really propelling Legacy into theaters. This new one just seems like a purely cynical cash grab

It's the purest contemporary franchise in this way. No one really cares, the lore is inconsequential/nonsensical, but some proprietary and incorrect numbers suggest it's worth making another one. The result looks decent and gets some talented people paid. Cool. Two more Event Horizon movies please.

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 2d

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

I've only seen Legacy but my memory is when that movie came out there was this nostalgic wave for it from people my age who were too young to know better. This new one tho, I'm seriously wondering if it's nostalgia for *Legacy* that brought it back around which is fucked on multiple levels lol

Why even respond to people if you're not going to engage with the current context like wtf

I stg this site is so weird. Multiple times I've replied to people below a post engaging them on the issue and context set by said post and they pretend like we're talking about something completely different like they don't even know what post they're replying to

Uh, yes. This is why people are mad at Dems and praising Mamdani because he's saying this stuff NOW while Dems have abandoned trans people as Trump terrorizes us.

What other Dem politicians are quoting actual trans ppl’s words, full throatedly denouncing anti-trans policies, and promising concrete steps to combat them?
