This is the kind of conspiracy bullshit I loved as a teen.
a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

Whether it’s the right gunning down peaceful protestors in the streets or college students demanding pronouns in bios, both sides have a problem with free speech. My column for Incurable Brain Damage Monthly (formerly The Atlantic).

There's this tendency to make historical monsters into retroactive tacticians wielding hate with pure unpassionate purpose. But they actually believe stuff too. Sometimes the villainous deed is simply what it is. Killing because of insane hatred.

The German empire also had a heavy hand in the Armenian Genocide, directly aiding the Ottoman Empire in mass murder and deportation.
I don't know who needs to hear this but the Holocaust was not Germany's first rodeo with genocide and ethnic discrimination

See any discussion about German antizyganism and also anything about the Herero and Nama genocide:

the open secret of course is that the police really run every city in this country. if you ever "mostly agreed" but called abolition unserious or impossible, at this point it's clear you need to spend a couple months in a Time Out before you're allowed to have an opinion like a big kid

As I am often saying, the central pillar of Cantor Thought is Tarpeian Socialism, the idea that in a society of significant size, the occasional slob is going to rob a 7-11 and that's not great, but whatever, but if you're given power by society and abuse it, we push you off a big rock.
SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor on Tuesday requested the death penalty for former president Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.

whether you self-ID as such or not, anything you’ve said in opposition to anything happening right now qualifies you as “antifa” & congratulations, you’re also a domestic terrorist now
Breaking NYT:

Federal investigators assigned to the killing of Renee Good are looking into her possible connections to activist groups.

It's in line with the admin's strategy of deflecting blame toward opponents they describe as domestic terrorists — without providing evidence.

so it took this guy two days to go from cussing ICE out on TV to suppressing anti-ICE protests.

Democrats like ICE more than they like their voters.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

apropos of nothing, i think a polyamorous it/its transgender furry who commissions nsfw art of their sona getting railed by dogs is substantially less weird & socially maladapted than a certified normie who fingerwags about gooner porn addiction and believes kinks are a sign of moral degeneracy.
