Okay. Time for a thread about the Accelerationist propaganda mod for Hearts of Iron 4 and why it's bad that I don't see anyone in the field really talking about how video games and the networks around them are working to radicalize young men at an alarming rate. It urgently needs to be addressed /1

We’ve talked about the memefication of mass shooters in the aftermath of the Kirk and ICE shootings but we REALLY need to talk about the memefication of politics.

I’m so tired, man.

Memes serve as a tool of dark participation and are used purposefully “to disrupt, undermine, attack, resist or reappropriate discursive positions pertaining to public affairs narratives in the news” (Peters & Allan, 2021, pp. 2–3)

Hey man, if I'm not using it any more they can go to town on it for all I care.

Data indicates that dogs are considerably MORE likely to eat their owners after they die than cats are.

I like to periodically remind people of this
faineg.bsky.social
we spent thousands of years breeding dogs to like humans and collaborate with us - we have more of a “begrudging standoff between equals” thing going on with pigs

However to be fair dogs eat humans way more than most people know or want to know

She's flopping out like that to lure you into a false sense of security. Don't fall for it.

Driving back to KY tomorrow to see family and watch Umamusume IRL. I've got an audible credit, shoot me some recommendations. Can be fiction or nonfiction!

y’all’s leftist crush is at the very least trash-talking his dog as “spoiled” for wanting to stand up and walk around, and quite possibly using a shock collar on her, and fans on reddit are saying they got permabanned from his stream for mentioning it in comments

I think people on both sides of this thing have lost their minds and this is when I miss a forum’s ability to just lock threads.

Ten minutes away from people doubling down and saying it's okay to call an LLM the n-word because it doesn't have feelings. What are we even doing here?

Devil Survivor is coincidentally my favorite spin off series from the mainlines outside of Persona.

Only like 80% joking here. I need to make one of those conspiracy theory memes that show various SMT protags with devices that look like smart phones.
mikesenters.bsky.social
The smart phone was a mistake, an invention of The Great Adversary. Steven Paul Jobs was an agent of The Great Adversary.

Basically all those cyberpunk stories about cyberspace becoming as real, or even more real than meatspace were mostly right they just incorrectly believed you needed to achieve some form of “Virtual Reality” tech to do it. Turns out phone apps are more than enough

Wait, is the Governor of California actually discussing his relationship with the Prime Minister of Israel on a livestream while playing Fortnite with a Twitch streamer who goes by ConnorEatsPants?

Russian infantry squads are getting blown the fuck up by some dudes piloting drones with Xbox controllers. This meme continues to remain true.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

One of the great ironies of political theory is that the best way to do radical politics is to not scare the hoes, yet many radicals fetishize scaring the hoes because, well, otherwise they wouldn't be radicals!
