modern culture doesn't usually treat the concept of learning new information with grace

I really like that the 'skinny guy on a computer, then muscly guys on a computer' meme started out as another tiresome 'this is you the bad opinion haver, and now this is me' format but quickly became about neophytes gaining institutional knowledge from more practiced people

back in the 1980s you could name your novel's protagonist something like Hector Sexual and 30 years later they would give you your own tvtropes page for it

I'm really impressed with the voice direction of the patrons being ingratiating in a way that like... feels like subtly Too Much but isn't the sort of snickering two-faced villain voice you typically get. it trusts you a little bit to understand these guys don't have people's interests at heart

people are quick to say 'oh this is all according to plan, russia's aim is to destroy the international order safeguarded by america' but:
1. what international order
2. america has plenty of its own roosting chickens to point to without having to write fanfiction about meddling foreigners

it's awesome that the lodestone strategy that's guiding the fascist resurgency is effectively the same train of thought that guides libertarians into trying to settle an island by themselves + dying of 18th-century maladies when handservants don't just materialize for them

like if it's not a product you wanted in the first place it's not really boycotting but like, what do we call it when people don't want something but then still break boycott for it

microsoft has made themselves the most easily boycottable company in existence + people will still throw themselves in the garbage for the sake of joylessly purchasing another 6/10 AAAA title from a studio that the C suite personally garrotted upon project completion

earnestly before I became an adult I kind of assumed that most people's ideologies would not completely fall apart the moment they're personally asked to do or not do something. and yet that's fully 90% of the people who talk the talk on here

if you must be an apathetic douchebag then at least stop acting as though I should be handing you a trophy for Engaging With Media Correctly because you have correct opinions or whatever

If "ending the war" was the only objective then BDS wouldn't have existed for decades. Israeli apartheid is still in full force. Gaza is in ruins. The IDF continues to shoot and bomb innocents.

We can't stop you from doing anything. But you are NOT entitled to 0 judgment when you look the other way

remyremy2.bsky.social @remyremy2.bsky.social · 9h

I donno this seems pretty unreasonable. Fine to make your own choices, but now that the objective of the boycotts, ending the war, has been achieved, others are entitled to go back to xbox, disney+ etc. without any judgment.

It worked! you should celebrate that instead of trying to keep it going

Say this prayer before bed every night.

"Level up at the Lodge

The lodge is queer
when i spend the night
it makes me strong without fear
levelup
yes indeed
i have gotten the strength I need."

absent other ideological projects, a nazi is still a bloke who can't make friends to save his own life

consider: the proliferation of nazi shit is the end goal of billionaire domination of social media, and is in fact solely possible through billionaire interference as any site with a functioning standard of behaviour filters out nazis as a matter of course

This is a really good, honest chat about the frustrations of organizing for Sudan. I respect bsonblast for straight up saying "I'm angry and tired."
