Marx, “the numbers don’t add up”

This person, “the numbers don’t exist”

Two very different claims!!

Marx, a trained economist and philosopher, would be aghast at this person’s continued denial of numbers.

Progressive prosecutors seem fine.

That’s not even remotely true. It’s just made up scare mongering from people who wanted Chesa out.

Yeah the radio was a huge factor in the rise of populist authoritarianism. The only reason TV didn’t have the same effect is bc it was invented so close to the radio.

There is always a reactionary backlash to innovation in mass communication.

My theory for a long time is that each advancement in mass communication brings with it a reactionary backlash.

The radio brought us Hitler and Peron. The TV luckily didn’t have this backlash bc it came out so close to the radio.

Now the internet and *points at globe*

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

A ceasefire, while life saving so long as it lasts, is not peace nor is it justice for Palestinians whose state of oppression continues

It’s been mentioned often but that there are many more yoga instructors in America than coal miners is something they should have tattooed on their bodies

Looked through and this was the second quote tweet, this post is now the third.

The YIMBY movement needs stronger soldiers.

The GOP literally invented this idea. You can read about it!

But we have to keep sharing it in order to appear magnanimous.

“The media has a left wing bias” Why won’t this ridiculous myth die?

Genuinely difficult to think of a belief in American society that is more broadly held and more wrong.

A big part of the reason is people who should fucking know better like this dum dum just regurgitate this GOP propaganda.

They absolutely have a right wing economic bias, but they also are negatively polarized into having a right wing cultural bias bc they despise their liberal readership so much (for having the gall to expect better).

The American political media does not have a left wing cultural bias lol.

They’re constantly fetishizing rural white voters, they won’t stop talking about campus cancel culture, trans people in sports, and other cultural threats libs present. They will cover literally whatever story the GOP wants.

That’s fine but (a) you didn’t have to tell me (b) you really, truly, sound like an idiot when you say something as stupid as, “the press has a left wing bias”.

Sorry if you’re opining on politics in a public forum and you say some dumb fuck shit like that you deserve to get dragged.

You had some plausible deniability towards not seeing the mainstream political press’s right wing bias in, say, 2019. But if you’re insisting on this myth of the liberal media in 2025 then you just end up sounding like a fucking idiot.

I’m sorry if you’re still saying the media has a left wing bias in 2025 then you need to get your head examined

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

They’re a team led by a coach who is afraid of his own shadow

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

People like this never, ever answer specific questions.

“Ratio me. Please. It’s a badge of honor.”

You are a fucking adult. Act like one.

They know he doesn’t come from wealth like Trump does so they instinctively don’t have reverence for him.
