I think it says everything that needs to be said that the left's reaction to disputes is to protest and maybe set some cars on fire, and the right's reaction is to (try to) kill people.

If Musk bought Planned Parenthood, he’d declare its new missions to be forced sterilization for undesirable races and forced pregnancies for pretty white teenagers (preferably with him as the father).

Then when people were unsurprisingly (at least to anyone with a working moral compass) offended by that and started boycotting companies that sponsored him, he’d cry and call it a conspiracy.

Then his mom or his dad or Trump would tell us to stop picking on him.

I don't, actually.

That was a common basis for it in the west, but it's demonstrably not the only basis, as illustrated by similar toxically masculine bullshit in places like Japan and India.

And beyond that, I don't think it's even as commonly the basis as it used to be in the west - that at this point, much (most?) of it traces back to secular misogynist culture warriors like Andrew Tate.

And beyond that, I just reject the whole concept of blaming ideologies for the fact that some people are assholes. Clearly the problem is simply that they are assholes, and I think they deserve all of the blame for that themselves.

Now all that said, more power to ya. Any fight against toxic bullshit is worthwhile.

Think of how much evil and stupidity in the world ultimately traces back to some men and the boners they're ashamed of.

Another day, another policy announcement from the office of the Toddler-in-chief.

If Musk bought Planned Parenthood, he'd declare its new missions to be forced sterilization for undesirable races and forced pregnancies for pretty white teenagers (preferably with him as the father).

It's just one tantrum after another for the Toddler-in-chief.

They're asked to choose to recuse themselves? As if they actually have even the tiniest speck of integrity?

I'm not even sure what the point is. It's like asking a termite to not eat my house.

Those are some of the bits of structural violence with which they intend to kill people broadly.

I'm wondering more about the specific techniques they're going to use for targeted killings - like, for instance, what they're going to do when Trump decides he wants Tim Walz killed.

I wonder from time to timecwhat method the Trumpists are going to adopt for killing their opponents.

Defenestration is self-evidently effective, but it's already Putin's schtick. And while it might appeal to Trump to essentially pay tribute to his idol, I think it's more likely that he'd want his own brand.

The US being what it is, some sort of handgun "suicide" would be on-brand, and courts have already shown that they're willing to let things like "suicide" by gunshot to the back of the head or "suicide" by multiple gunshot slide.

I almost expect them to use concentration camps and gas chambers, counting on the media to refuse to cover it at all for fear that somebody might make a Nazi comparison.

We'll see...

"You've been barred from entering the US because you said mean things about the Toddler-in-chief."

I just can't keep up with how crazy and stupid this timeline is.
