I love how it never occurs to him that if he's suddenly ripping off his shirt in front of these people that they might find that *aggressive,* and seeing his tattoo might be *terrifying* so they didn't say anything. Just never considers the harm he's doing to other people!

People who use "libs" or "left bros" pejoratively only engage in politics online. Very reliable indicator!

For the record, there are at least three misdirections-at-best in this week's Main Character's thread about how her being suspended for 72 hours for violating the violent rhetoric policy is the greatest outrage ever to happen:

Yep. Just one example: the "father" of voter role purging, Hans Von Spakovsky got his national start in the Dubya administration, ironically: in the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ.

No.

Go vote Republican if you want to be shitty humans with no repercussions or consequences, you smug little twit.
In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.

It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.

What I like about this post regarding Graham McNaziTattoo is that it carefully elides the possibility that people are okay with Graham opposing Republicans some *other* way than being the Democratic nominee for Senate.

Luckily, polling shows he's gonna get his clock cleaned in the primary.

The more explanatory factors for Hitler's behavior are already contained in Ian Kershaw and Daniel Ziblatt's books, and also I'm substantially suspicious of this study actually having real results.
Exclusive: Adolf Hitler’s DNA has been sequenced by scientists

It has:
- shown he had a disorder which impacted his sexual development
- debunked rumours about his ancestry
- shown a high likelihood that he had a neurodivergent condition and/or bipolar disorder

This is the thing . . . and also the only victims they can really get away with systematically targeting are other Black folks, especially Black women and queer people. Who society doesn't care about.
Unfortunately, the Black community has its own issues with supporting known pedos. However, the pedos in our community rarely have the ability to systematize their evil at the scale Epstein did.
This shit is crazy, just the rumor of Drake liking lil girls or being weird with em was enough to change his entire reputation in the Black community.

But in the white community, these muhfuckas are OPENLY giving cover to KNOWN pedos.

HOW CAN I TRUST Y'ALL????

Quite a few center-left people on here are advancing theories of why housing is way too expensive that is just as wrong as JD Vance's explanation.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
November 14, 2025 at 4:55 PM
This also is just as economically illiterate as Vance's explanation of why the housing crisis happened.

I think it is, frankly, pretty akin to Schumer validating the "rotating villain of the Senate" theory: it's not always right, but after a while you'd be very hard-pressed to pretend it's entirely wrong

An expiration of 2028 means anyone disgusted by the atrocities in Gaza need to make this a massive issue for that election. Yes, the current admin will make the deal; but we need to insure whoever the Dem candidate is, is committed to undoing that deal.

It’s also such a weird asymmetry - if the right approach was transparency, then the two parties went from:
(a) Campaigning for it’s release, but then fighting against it at all costs when it became possible
(b) Not caring, and then pushing for full transparency

Those approaches are not equivalent!

"bluesky will suspend you for anything vaguely resembling a death threat" is maybe the single most consistent moderation policy they have I don't know why anyone is surprised by this one

yes, even if it's a reference to song lyrics
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

It is hard to get over that the Q-Anon folks spent years feverishly looking in pizza parlors for the cabal of rich, elite pedophiles and it turns out THERE WAS ONE, right in front of their noses, which they failed to identify and instead voted for three times in a row.

It's so funny to me that in every thread about Platner has a mix of people saying "the leftists are the ones defending him" and people saying "the liberals/centrists are defending him"
Sadly, there are plenty of people in both groups who don't find bigotry disqualifying.
This is a yikes too. He gets dogwalked by Susan Collins even though Generic Dem has a 9 pt margin.

What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

Yes, Trump is a white nationalist, and yes, Americans elected him to the presidency twice. But Trump is also, for a lot of reasons, rather unique. You run for office saying the things Fuentes does and, outside of the reddest of red districts, you're going to get clobbered.

I think it's important to confront the fact that, for the most part, to be male, under 28, and "conservative" is to be an actual Nazi. There are exceptions, but that's what they are. Exceptions.
I wrote a piece a few weeks ago claiming antisemitism was on the verge of going mainstream. It was clear to me that most people had trouble buying it.

That's understandable. But it's happening.

Example: Conservatives themselves are now saying that 30 to 40% of Zoomers in Washington are Groypers.
