From a few pages ago:


I'm not familiar with the California law on revenge porn - but is seems to only cover a person who the victim knew had the photos and was ok with having them and not anyone who knowingly distributed them.

Basically I'm not seeing how anyone but her ex faces any jail time for this.

Don't see why it wouldn't just be conspiracy.

But it's a misdemeanor, realistically no one's going to jail.

The right wing has a weird psycho-sexual hatred for activist women and what some of them have been doing for a while now and it's weird and gross. AOC and Greta Thunburg have been targets of this and I'll remind everyone that Greta is sixteen and the chuds don't give a single gently caress about sexualizing her.

The male equivalent of this is called pink pilling, which is to feminize males that they feel anger towards so they can turn them into women. I feel like this is so they can plug into that ugly lizard brain part of people that can objectify and satisfy a primal sexual urge. Then once that urge is satisfied they immediately feel shame. That shame becomes hate. That hate becomes rage. That rage can become targeted. Arousal suppresses what we would consider the disgust reaction, among other primal urges, but it flares back to life after sexual satisfaction.

It sounds gross and it is, but this is why say, a john who approaches someone in say, the LGBTQ+ community who is selling survival sex because they're marginalized to the point of selling sex can be attacked at basically any time before, during and especially after completion. It's distressingly common to be attracted to what you're conditioned by society to hate because attraction isn't rational and that disgust reaction is suppressed.

Pink pilling is dark in the extreme and it uses sex to radicalize dudes who are pulling their dicks to go do violence against left wing activists out of shame, anger and rage, all of it misplaced. I can't overstate just how loving dangerous pink pilling is for alienated, conservative and potentially violent white males.

Thanks for this. Your posts are usually pretty enlightening, and I would happily subscribe to a YouTube channel or podcast if you had one.

It does open the NRCC and others who shopped around the images to civil action, which can get pricey.

it’s also basically impossible to explain to normal people who aren’t into politics because most of them do have brain worms and concepts like political iconography as political statement just don’t register for them.

Ironically I was clued into the real history of the labor movement and socialism in the United States by Unintended Consequences a libertarian take on The Turner diaries with less explicit racism.

It’s got a rough summery of the labor “riots” of the 19th century, the Tulsa massacre, the bonus army etc from a very anti government, this is why we need guns libertarian perspective. Of corse it glosses over the socialist under pinnings behind those events but once you dig into them deeper (beyond what you read in that book) you’ll find the information.

I expect these to be deleted shortly.


Speaking of deleted words, I'm guessing the GOP is going to shamelessly pivot to "it already said on the document that it's not an exact transcript" even though they were the only ones who ever called it an exact transcript in the first place. Regardless, now that specific aspects of it are being called into question, I hope they'll be able to dig up the real thing soon.

I actually literally heard this on npr this morning, without the "unfair" part. All of the news decided this morning the story is "Republicans are pivoting from complaining about process to talking about the substance"

Well, other than the word 'substance' what are they talking about? I have yet to see any exculpatory testimony from the impeachment hearings, they're all one bombshell after another, and I'm sure if there were "good" news for Trump, the R's in the committees would be leaking left and right.

It's pretty simple. They know that process arguments are a loser in the court of public opinion, so they're "announcing" a shift in strategy that will amount to precisely dick as they will continue whining about the fact that the depositions are closed-door.

The NRCC was openly distributing the photos, provided by her abusive ex.

Yeah, if it weren't for the pictures it'd just be a case of another shitbag getting outted for being a shitbag by their vindictive ex-, but the pics make it gross all around.

Pre-tax-cut law passing: “Yes, this will increase economic growth and help all Americans!”

I forgot the GOPs genius plan if they won 2018 would have been a historic gutting of the social safety net so rich people could get even more money.

That alone is reason enough for them to never be allowed in office, anywhere, ever again.
