What's often looked over about Nazi Germany is that its actual pop culture was not Teutonic Knightly Brotherhood, that was just the SS guys who were mostly seen as weirdos, it was actually a mix of diabetic sentimentality and Hallmark Channel Patriotism best described as 'saccharine'. pic unrelated

this doesn't excuse Biden at all, since any look into Biden's past whatsoever reveals him as particularly fanatical zionist even by US politician standards and he just desperately wanted to believe all those hospitals the IDF was blowing up were in fact Hamas command centers

all evidence points to Biden being overwhelmingly, criminally credulous to whatever Bibi told him. He probably actually brought up the IDF doing war crimes over a phone call one time and Bibi just said "oh that was Hamas" and Biden just believed him with zero evidence or scrutiny

I think that Democrats winning more elections would be extremely beneficial on net for all the relevant groups, even if what it took to get there was some moderation on specific positions.

Justin T. Brown-Ramsey @brown-ramsey.bsky.social · 4d

You’ve been on every major platform imaginable saying in one way or another that the democrats can function by cleaving random marginal groups because doing so would be electorally advantageous. This is the right’s fault, but it is also YOUR fault for trying to get in on their game, too, *******!

had a dream where the latest culture war thing was over whether Rayman's junk is attached to his body or it floats like his hands and feet. Right-wing side argued it floated, left-wing side argued it was attached

that transphobia is the intensity it is in the UK in particular kind of gives it away that this is the concern of bored rich people with no actual problems

there's about 15 of this kinda guy, all incredibly loud reactionary black centrists whose politics start and end with National Socialism with Anti-Palestinian Characteristics and since Harris lost they've become increasingly unhinged and racist to the point of total madness

this is what happened to chang-kai-shek when he went around burning villages for harboring suspected communists and all he did was create more communists

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

took less than four years for the whigs to go from an established political party to completely dead and 80% of this came from repeated betrayals and insults and spiteful backstabbing towards the progressive wing of the party until one last straw made it implode overnight. something to think about
