Also, 44 comes from the thing you’re replying to, where Michael uses a tweet with 44 likes to prove progressives are defending Platner. Thats the best he could do.

He did. Pod Save America got the video *from his camp*. Clearly they’re just straight up fucking incompetent because *they chose to send the video* and had no idea it would be damning.

Everyone is like “oh well actually His Vibes told me actually!”

Babe that’s confirmation bias! Imagine smug over confirmation bias!

Look, the tattoo's where I get off as well, but I think there's a certain amount of unwarranted smugness going around. Y'all didn't know he had it either!

44 isn’t “many” people doing anything.

The Nazi tattoos were revealed during the vetting. Thats what the vetting led to. Primary is still months from now. He hasn’t won anything and you’re acting like he was caught in office. No one serious has to base their argument on faux reality

All you had to do was stoop to the kind of pedantry usually reserved for friendless 10 year olds to do it!

You won on a technicality Michael good job! Technically “statistically insignificant to the point of total irrelevance” isn’t “literally no one on earth” so you did it! Those 44 people existing absolve you of supporting a genocide!

No, I just think Michael is weird for nutting every time a progressive fucks up as if it absolves him of spending all of 2024 defending a genocide. Which is what this entire thing has been about by the way

How about a number that makes up a full 1% of progressives and leftists talking about Platner yesterday. Can you people manage a full percent? Should I lower it to .5% to make it easier?

Emmi Thee Bull @emmitheebull.bsky.social · 27m

How am I wrong? Your big own is a bus full of people defending a Nazi compared to the thousands of progressives who spent yesterday disavowing him. You are mentally ill

Do you get tired of schizophrenically yelling about progressives to the 10 people who like you posts

If I wanted to paint leftists as broadly in defense of Platner through a manic episode of quote posting my own skeet of a few screenshots I would strategically crop out the fact that the post has 44 likes total.

44 likes wow that’s a whole school bus of people Mikey that’s a lot

These kind of skeets go off the base assumption that everyone has the same kind of parasocial attachment to candidates that the khive does and then they never check if that’s true. They just hit “post”

Emmi Thee Bull @emmitheebull.bsky.social · 17h

My friends are getting tired of my constant refrain of “this is Me Too backlash” whenever anything happens involving a woman. (They know I’m right tho!)

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

Remember that "smug internet communists" means "progressives" in smug internet shitlib-speak.

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

“Aren’t you SO OWNED by your ideas becoming popular and us pretending we weren’t loudly and publicly against these same slogans 6 months ago? TELL US THAT YOU FEEL OWNED TELL US!”

Liberals are so ill equipped to deal with this moment that their only way to cope is by pretending that THEM becoming politically irrelevant is bad for US. Pitiful losers

I feel so owned by my political positions becoming mainstream and yours dying from irrelevance after losing the two easiest fucking elections of all time. Own me more please!

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

Curtis Yarvin & David Starkey - The End of the End of History
By Oakeshott (formerly Scruton)

The second Oakeshott Lecture of 2025 - with perennially viral tech philosopher Curtis Yarvin and eminent historian David Starkey

In the second Oakeshott (formerly Scruton) Lecture, Curtis Yarvin will address the End of the End of History in the Post-Cold War Era.

A former software developer, Curtis Yarvin came to international prominence under the pen-name Mencius Moldbug as a critic of contemporary democracy. An avid promoter of technocracy and critic of ‘the Cathedral’, Yarvin has become an influential figure on the American right - a reliably controversial voice and a confidante of JD Vance and Peter Thiel.

Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.

Speaker Johnson defends Trump's AI video of him dumping feces on protesting Americans: “The president uses social media to make a point. You can argue he's probably the most effective person who's ever used social media for that. He is using satire to make a point.”
