AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

The time to stop bad things from happening was November 2024. And a lot of people convinced themselves the right thing to do was to not vote for the "lesser evil" of Harris. See how well that turned out

It was a little fun back in the day to get people to admit the dumb stuff they believe. At this point it's just sad.
I do think we're suffering from years of awkwardly dancing around people in our lives believing in the most rancid insane conspiracies. It needs to be acceptable to stare blankly at someone rambling about Vince Foster and tell them that's the stupidest shit you've ever heard.

A great summary of why farming insects for protein is probably not a solution to our food security and environmental challenges…
While it might have a niche role, it’s not nearly as effective as other solutions - plant-based diets, reducing food waste, etc.

that’s clearly untrue even in recent history, but also, I think the meme exudes a clear contempt for the idea that liberal inclusion and tolerance are important values. you have to steelman that right out of the meme to make it harmless
Everyone doesn’t mean the same thing when they post a meme like this, but there is a steelmanable version: that Democratic and Republican presidents have historically acted equally brutally and lawlessly to people overseas, and that the main differences are in domestic rhetoric and policy.
she’s right

Obviously fuck this MAHA trash framing, but also I think the core lack of understanding that allows these idiot thoughts to get traction is the fact that we know very very little about the brain and so no, treating mental health is not in fact as simple as putting a cast on a broken bone

I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

One key thing behind the logic of these memes, which you see in a lot of places, is the belief that women’s and LGBT rights are frivolous/something that should be dealt with within a society as opposed to racial/ethnic/religious tensions that occur between societies and are more serious.
