Immunocompromised people in real life: ‘Yeah, mask if you’re sick or in a hospital or something like that, but you don’t need to do it all the time.’

Bluesky users: ‘If you aren’t wearing a mask literally every second you are outside your own home, you are a eugenicist Nazi murderer.’

I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous.

Some actors get parts because they turn in great work. Some because they’re pleasant to work with. Others because they have a bankable base of fans.

Leto, to my understanding, has none of these.
(I even thought he was crap in his Oscar-winning role)

What this site, at least, is lacking is people with the backbone to stand up and say "So what? He wants to be a dictator? Fuck him, he doesn't get to be one." Far too many scrupulous neurotics so obsessed with the pain and injury they can't even start to talk about what will lie beyond it.

One consequence of maintaining a social circle of fellow ideologues in the age of algorithmic reinforcement and closed app ecosystems is that you gradually lose any perspective on how mainstream your ideas really are.

I don’t think these Nazis understand how much they’re hated.

Seeing a lot of "Well that's it, it's over, we don't have a Republic, we have a dictator/king, time to lie down and wait for death" shit floating around from the budget people and, I am sorry, you are weak and craven and need to shut the fuck up. If we have a dictator we have to force him out.

The ideological chart of presidential assassins is so funny, and it'll be a loss when you realize what it can also mean.

I know this is a mean thing to say, but if red states are going to leech off of blue tax money, they should have less representation in the federal government than Puerto Rico. Until they sort themselves out, they should be treated as ‘territories’ and not states.

A lot of people on here were convinced by an even older candidate that The Establishment is an all-powerful Illuminati, and therefore assume that any Young Outsider who says a few vaguely progressive things to the camera is owed a coronation

The quoted person strikes me as the sort of person to whom ‘holding two separate thoughts at a time’ is a strikingly alien concept

The ‘we should be masking forever’ position is cope from people who wanted to maintain *quarantine* forever. If I might be uncharitable, lockdowns gave a lot of deeply antisocial people their first and only taste of social power, and a lot of people never wanted to give that up.

we were absolutely militant about masking. I love masks as a tool to prevent spreading illness and will happily put one on when I’m under the weather and need to be in public. the idea that we should all mask forever or until covid is “solved” (it’s endemic) is unserious. the vaccines are a miracle

‘No one is demanding mask mandates in all public places’ in the middle of a 10-post lecture demanding mask mandates in all public places is a pretty good gag
