Maybe there's something fishy with the "War on [Insert Concept Here]" framing to begin with 🤔
Fascinating how quickly the "war on terrorism" has now become the "war on narcoterrorism."
Media did nothing to hold accountable the administrations who ignited and perpetuated the made up "war on terror" and now they sit as complicit stenographers for the made up "war on narcoterror." What a shame

When will Dems put together serious messaging on the fact that Republicans make the economy worse every time they're in power? I get that the median voter is 90% vibes based but c'mon guys. You can do *something* with this right?

I'm watching Halo and one of the funniest things is the guy who's just driving a suburban around an alien planet. Really is an indictment of automakers that in 500 years SUV design is still basically the same

It's becoming increasingly clear that this is pretty much the case for any ideological position held by the American right
All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

I think it's Good in general to point out the hypocrisy of the Free Speech Gang right now, it's also good to remember that paradoxes aren't really a problem to fascists. They're probably a natural part of fascist thought; I wrote about it in one of my first papers
