On Caladan, we ruled with sea and air power. Here on Arrakis, we must develop something I choose to call slut power

if Stancil's somewhat clunky way of referring to indigenous peoples in a followup reference in a historical context is offensive, the name "Tiger Lily" is a straight up slur, so it's just really revealing no one in that camp seemed to notice.

you could produce a notarized document proving tribal citizenship and I still wouldn't believe you are acting in good faith.

what part of "no one believes you" don't you get?

>Tiger Lily

oh, okay, I understand what's going on.

this is a sophisticated operation.

I wasn't aware racist men engaged that deeply with the themes of DS9. but if it teaches them about liberalism, I guess it's a first step.

the Cardassian Archon Makbar from DS9 interrogating Miles O'Brien about his guilt, which she has already determined even though the charge is made up and is a waste of everybody's time.

they talk about The Revolution like it's the Rapture for men who dress like teenagers into their 50s.

this is psychotic behavior.

I started by saying it was irrelevant what they call themselves because them being "antifascist" isn't the distinguishing characteristic between them and Stancil. so I'm not criticizing them for being "antifa," I'm criticizing them for behaving like violent immature assholes.

"real courage" being what, setting a dumpster on fire and punching an ally in the head?

are you open to feedback on this strategy

if everyone is antifascist -- and I do like to think we're all against fascism around here -- then we're really talking about the subgroup of self-described antifascists who include Will Stancil in the category of fascists and punch him.

and those people suck, no matter what they call themselves.

did John Brown listen to people with security concerns

The 4chan “they enjoy it the wrong way for the wrong reasons” screencap

charitable explanation: it’s nice for people who were wrong to admit they were wrong and acknowledge how silly they were being instead of acting like they’ve always believed that thing and it’s ancient history anyway

uncharitable explanation:

this might be the start of my permanent lib-out arc

they did a mealy-mouthed non-statement regarding the Philando Castile shooting back in the day, so the glass half full interpretation is they're equal opportunity abject cowards.

>except you had the power to choose your president, and you may still have it

this is news to me!

perchance.

this is made up. ICE does have law enforcement power as federal agents. the “E” stands for “Enforcement.”

you can (and should) film and protest them from nearby. they can still arrest you if you obstruct, impede or threaten them, so don’t do that.

they’re the feds. be smart. be careful.

much to consider

on one hand I really don’t like the idea of Trump of all people illegally snatching people outside US jurisdiction as an act of war

on the other, most Venezuelan people appear to be thrilled and almost all the most evil people on the planet are terrified and outraged right now, so who knows

Maduro's government was already massacring people so I don't really see the difference tbh

I should start a fight on here for no reason.

the ICE issue is jackbooted thugs throwing everyone of a certain skin color into a paddy wagon without due process.

the mere concept of immigration law enforcement is fine. an unintegrated underworld of foreign nationals that anyone can exploit is a recipe for chaos and human misery.

it's not even arithmetically possible by eliminating the military altogether. in 2024 our total federal spending was $6.8T, with defense being $1.9T of that. total revenue was $4.8T that year. with the debt at $38T, you never make that up even if you raise taxes.

screenshot of a reddit post because search is broken and I want to make sure the antisemitic nazbol strasseroid filth who rely on screen readers can see that even gentiles know what they are: When Tager asked about why he booted the guy, the bartender, a seasoned pro, said that if you let one Nazi in, slowly they replace the clientele. “You have to nip it in the bud immediately,” he said, as Trager paraphrased. “These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after a while, they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.” “And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh *****, this is a Nazi bar now,” he continued. ”And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.”

incredible how all of the top-liked replies that don't bring up trans people ex nihilo are saying some variation of "shut up, Jew"

this site has more antisemites per 100,000 than twitter. they're just nazbols instead of classical nazis.

it's a ranking of the "top 250" streaming shows by viewership, not all streaming shows, it includes shows like NCIS and Suits and shows from 1951, and it counts the Bluey lead as a white male even though I learned this November she's a cartoon dog.

it's a cute line, but you'll note that

1. if legacy institutions use quotas to ensure your representation in entry level roles maxes out at about 1/3rd of your share of the population, "privileged" isn't the right word to describe your situation.
2. the E in "DEI" doesn't stand for "equality."

the funny thing is, you can block me, you can dunk on me, you can call me names, you can do a lot of things, but you can't block EEOC filings and discovery.

all of this was illegal. it was wrong. and perhaps worst of all, it wasn't even popular. the more people know, the more they will hate you.
