It makes more sense if you think only in things, not processes. You notice how things are not great. Some are good, but a lot are bad. So, how do things be good? Get rid of the bad! When all bad is gone, everything will be good, definitionally!

Could have phrased it a bit better. “…but instead of charming, was just offensive”, maybe?

It’s both, really. Fascism is said to be imperialism in decay.

In response to a Big Lebowsky quote. Meming doesn’t relinquish meaning.

…And the choice you make is to opt out. “Opt out” is one of the choices.

the trolley problem isn’t opt-outable

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

See, shit like this is why people hate kenders.

Good idea, though.

“At this rate, we won’t even have enough of a military to invade Iran!!!”

It doesn’t all have to be. It could explain the unwavering support for Israel across the political spectrum.

Hey, look everyone, they’re doing the thing in the article!

Do they, or did someone put a road through a bear’s outhouse?

Let me guess, “Zelensky did it first”?

Man, imagine doing two terms as POTUS just to get out of divorce court.

Killing himself, presumably.

The angle is that the Overton window shifted so far right that the disagreement is now which foreigners (and secret, domestic foreigners) are to blame for the country’s decline.

…I miss r/aneurysmposting.

Oh, that’s as expected. What’s interesting, though, is the same exact argument pattern to other recent debacles. Like, “How dare TikTok/Progressives/Arabs side against us? Could it be they resent that we openly despise them and very recently fucked them over? No, that never happened, also Trump did it too! The only possible explanation for their hostility is that they’re ontologically evil, and we therefore have no choice but to continue openly despising them and trying to fuck them over!” Like, if this were a book, it would be panned for it’s heavy-handed hubris allegory.

It was not only bipartisan, it was, in fact, Trump’s idea initially.

And yet, the Democrats did run the campaign, and Biden was the one to actually sign the ban.

The resposes here are amazing. It’s stunning how quickly the memoryholing is kicking in.

I mean, there’s also that the Democrats ran a campaign to ban Tiktok.
