People will say the absolute dumbest shit in the world and g "Let that sink in" as if that will magically not make it the absolute dumbest shit in the world

Twitter user jbazzrea: Old women cause autism, tylenol causes autism, vaccines cause autism. You know who has no autism? The Amish. "Old" men and women have kids and they have no autism. The Amish get no vaccines and take no medications. Let that sink in.

Mufasa really thinking he's slick calling his son "Lion". Think you'd get away with calling your kid "Human" in a different language? Thinking you'll get away with it cause everyone around you is an uneducated pleb?!

Haughty prick

*guy who desperately wants to hold onto the idea that he's not 100% in support of The Machine* Pffft! That's not very Against The Machine of you dumbass

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

If you want to argue protests votes caused her loss (which I don't agree with and I don't think the polling fats agrees with) if they're still relying on the ballot to beat MAGA maybe antagonising these voters is a terrible fucking idea lol

“You want to talk about legacy? Let’s talk about the legacy of mass deportations, of not voting, and Donald Trump.”

Pretty sure it was one of their 20 trillion projects they announced riding off the highs of Endgame where hopefully a metric fuckton of dramas and an unprecedented global event that made human contact unfeasible wouldn't affect them

They’re putting up stickers like this in my area

#IrelandForAll

STICKER OF AN IRISH FLAG

ATTENTION THIS FLAG IS FOR EVERYONE!
Do not let the small mumber of people with hateful and extreme views tell you that it is only meant for those wto are straight, white, and obediently nationalist.
This fag, as a whole, is intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union of the people of different traditions on the island of Ireland, which is expressed in the Constitution as the entitlement of every person to be oart of the independent Irish nation, regardless of eteric oriain, relicion, political conviction, gender, sex or sexual orientation.
WE WILL NOT FALL
FOR FASCIST PROPAGANDA.

I love the specificity of it

This bullshit may have worked against Corbyn but it won't work now the conversations about Israel and Palestine in the UK has completely shifted they have nothing

That’s the line and by Christ, they are sticking to it come hell or high water. Let’s see whether it’ll work as well on e.g. Italian police arresting them at a holiday villa outside Rimini in 2033.

Hate has no place in our universities or our country.
Antisemitism must be rooted out of our society.
Our education system must play its part in keeping us free from fear and free from hate.

And at the time all were careful to not post WHAT tweets he was (allegedly as this claim came from his liar mouth) arrested for

One of which was him encouraging his followers to assault random women in bathrooms they figured they can clock

IndiaWilloughby @indiawilloughby.bsky.social · 10h

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. “Just a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

My favourite kind of social media post is making up a person who doesn't exist to be mad at

Like. Who did you meet who opposes the genocide but is okay with the boat bombings exactly?

Cropped BlueSky post: "The "I don't want my tax money murdering children and families in Palestine" folks.

Well, your tax money is being used to bomb fishing vessels under the false narrative of them being drug traffickers.

Those are fathers, brothers, sons, and uncles.

You mad about that too? Or nah?"

-Democrats are aligning themselves with fascists
-"What do you suggest they do about that?"

AdequateEmily looks at I Saw the TV Glow how its fascination with old TV hits close to home how it reflects on transness and the blurred realities of the world of self-acceptance and the world of playing the roles you are told to play. Incredibly human and superbly well constructed
