“Sir did you make sure to use the objectifying, demeaning language, even when talking about geographical location?”

Sure did, called it hot and everything, just like you asked

“Those videos of men dressed like women make me feel funny downstairs, and so nobody can use the bathroom they want!”

“What does that even have to do with transgender people?”

“Also I should win the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping eleventybillion wars!”

“I bet you worked super hard on that bud”

I came here to point this out, and you have no idea how proud I am of you for already doing it

So, so proud of you 👍

It’ll go next to Lindsey Graham’s girlfriend

Or George Santos’ girlfriend

Or my girlfriend

She totally exists you guys, she just goes to another school in Canada

Diogenes Dog @iamdiogenesdog.bsky.social · 6h

So the “girlfriend” of someone who would’ve been born roughly 100 years ago?

This incessant gaslighting is fucking exhausting. It’s like being in an abusive relationship where you have no ability to leave. You just have to keep taking the bullshit anew, every day.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

Diogenes Dog @iamdiogenesdog.bsky.social · 6h

Idk man, this current set of fools seems pretty immune to learning anything. Like ever.

I’ve never seen people who endure so much pain and suffering, and not only do they not blame Trump, they blame Dems and believe in Trump even harder

Hence why I call them cult members, idk any other comparison

Posobiec published a book with the title from literal Nazi propaganda.

Cover of the Nazi propaganda brochure "Der Untermensch" ("The Subhuman"), 1942. The SS booklet depicted the natives of Eastern Europe as "subhumans".

Very, very stupid. And they’re not wrong, the average MAGA voter lives completely in their own reality

Thank social media for allowing people to curate their news feed so deeply, that no amount of objective facts or reality will ever permeate their propaganda

“He heard about it” 3 seconds earlier when you asked him the question

This is like with Reagan, where the last person to talk to him is all he remembers

Glad to know we have 3+ years of this, or Vance if this evil piece of shit ever has the decency to die

Second generation antifa here sir

My grandfather didn’t go to Germany to fight Nazis, just so his grandson could sit by as the red carpet was rolled out for them here

Over my dead body will this end with us under this Nazi permanently

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

Diogenes Dog @iamdiogenesdog.bsky.social · 6h

I mean what did people expect?

I call Trump voters Nazis bc Trump is a literal fascist, meaning by definition, his supporters support fascism. Words have meanings.

It’s not surprising, but it never stops being shocking the depths to which these Nazis will go. They need to go, by force if needed

Remember: this is a false portrayal of reality

You *always* have a choice, & that includes quitting the NG when orders are unlawful

Yes, the choice is hard & comes w/ consequences, but it’s still a choice

Otherwise we what, just all keep capitulating & kicking the can down the street every time?

Texas National Guard troops arriving in Chicago (via ABC News)

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

Diogenes Dog @iamdiogenesdog.bsky.social · 13h

They all hate dogs bc dogs can tell if you’re a shitty person or not

Yes, Hitler loved dogs too, but we have exceptions that prove the rule, & even psychotic people can show compassion in limited ways

They know dogs all know they’re shitty people, & they can’t be brainwashed like the MAGA cult

I’m not sure “I moved into Trump Tower the day after Trump was elected” is quite the defense against corruption you think it is, Senator

Sen. Hagerty: "This goes all the way back to Obama. I moved into Trump Tower the day after the election in 2016. The FBI came up and surveilled us then ... the real threat to democracy are Chuck Schumer and the Democrats."

Sincerely, how long would it have taken to have a VA slap together a poster?

This tells you a lot about these companies & their relationship with AI

They could give a shit if it’s not useful or does near nothing, it replaces a person they don’t have to pay

Fuck AI and anyone who supports it

Diogenes Dog @iamdiogenesdog.bsky.social · 18h

They want to ensure the federal govt becomes inept and unable to function, at least for aspects not related to their police state

This will definitely accomplish that

We can hold a general strike any day now & begin to end this

But I know, everyone’s got their excuses for doing nothing. Again.
