Every single one of these guys functions under the assumption that what is popular in their fetid little group chats is also the actual will of Real Americans, because anyone who thinks otherwise is excluded from that group by virtue of thinking otherwise. None of them have ever had a real job.
This exchange drives me nuts. Neither the interviewer nor Bazelon acknowledges that 1) abortion rights are really popular! and 2) what ICE is doing is hugely unpopular!

Ever get the sense that pretty much all of these assholes are basically rich kids with infinite risk tolerance and no impulse control who made one lucky gamble before contributing zero and then falling ass backwards into more money?

A parallel to idea that U.S. fascism will just go up in smoke because of a scandal or incompetence—that is, we just have to wait, maybe re-post some things—is that ha ha AI is dumb so the threat will take care of itself & all we need to do is make popcorn.

Our weekly reminder that IQ is pseudoscientific horseshit explicitly invented to create a veneer of scientific legitimacy to "race science." It's why Trump always attacks Black women as "low IQ" as his version of using the N word.

At the launch of a speaking tour intended to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages, President Trump mocked the word “affordability” and touted how high the stock market had risen.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

I think it's actually more insidious than this. Religion routinely teaches people there's meaning and holiness in community and connection with the rest of humanity, but simulation theory teaches that only a sacred few are smart enough to notice they're players in a computer game full of NPCs.
"We live in a simulation" is honestly just religion for people who think they're too clever to be religious. It's looking for meaning and order in the chaos of existence.

![Statement on Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Genocide Denial at the Israel Hayom Summit
December 9, 2025
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security feels called to point out that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s recent remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on 2 December amount to outright genocide denial.
During her remarks, the Secretary correctly noted that the recent deterioration of Israel’s standing among U.S. voters is not a “Republican versus Democrat kind of divide” but rather a generational one. Nevertheless, she incorrectly diagnosed the reasons for the shift as a matter purely of optics, stating that “Israel [has] the worst PR of any group” and accusing social media, particularly TikTok, of presenting “pure propaganda” that American youth are uncritically ingesting.
Secretary Clinton’s framing is not at all an accurate reflection of why Americans are growing more critical of Israel. Young Americans of all political stripes have not fallen prey to propaganda, though that is always a legitimate concern. Rather, they have consumed two years of videos depicting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians that have been uploaded by Palestinian journalists, ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza, IDF soldiers, and ordinary Israelis themselves. There has been no convincing refutation of the sheer amount of raw evidence of genocide coming out of Palestine. Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well.
Secretary Clinton appears not to be bothered by the reality of genocidal violence – in fact, she did not mention anything about it. Her concern is, rather, in her words, “the narrative” – the fact that these crimes are no longer hidden and are now being live-streamed and documented in real time, making it harder for her and others to control it. TikTok cannot be blamed for the fact that many members of Gen Z understand that Israel is …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pwsjq3xnal6auzgeqho4ecw7/bafkreiafbjju65esvo6htynkkl6or6muv4qqhwo5fghkkbyvclgnxxmchy@jpeg)
