  • Fascists co-opt other groups and movements constantly because fascists don’t create, they only take and destroy. But hydro homies is well past it’s incredibly edgy start and is now just the liquids equivalent of Linux users - never shutting up about how superior they are for doing a minor thing.

    Fascists definitely love the in group-ness of it, but there’s no “only soda” group that’s fighting them and therefore no one to point to as an “other” to forward fascist ideals. Hydro homies is extremely low on the priority for the fascist pipeline. They are incredibly obnoxious when they leak out though.

    Also, I vote the potential only sodas group to be called the “soda jerks”





  • Yeah, desensitizing people to violence is the original argument. It’s always “if they’re willing to shoot people in video games, why not real life!?” Crap.

    It’s been disproven so often that my shitty little uni assigned that research to first year psych students. It’s not a thing. Media is a reflection of society, not society itself. Violent societies like violent media. Violent media doesn’t create violent societies. Propaganda based media can, but no one’s committing murders cause they saw Knives Out or played COD 23












  • I never got the concept of Republicans going back to running honorable candidates. They haven’t since Lincoln. The Republican candidates for just this century have been a certified pedophile, a Mormon, a man who chose Sarah fucking Palin as his running mate, and Bush. Hell, before that you had Reagan, who if you wanna blame America’s problems on one man, he’s the one. You had Bush Sr., who wasn’t completely awful and was granted 1 term for it. You’ve got Nixon and Watergate. You’ve got Eisenhower being almost impressively racist.

    The Republican party hasn’t had a good candidate in decades, if not well over a hundred years. Were they less openly insane before? Sure. Were they actually less insane? Absolutely not. These are the people that manufactured the drug crisis, leading to the pointless deaths and arrests of thousands of black people.
