Flopsy posted:What gently caress is with this right wing angle democratic women are secretly trying to kill themselves to ruin the country? They applied this to AOC concerning Jan 6th as well. I mean I know their logic is absolute bugfuck but what the hell is this poo poo? The point is to get their base to associate them with bad thing, it's just less effective than with Clinton because they did it for two decades straight The logic doesn't matter because they will never put thought beyond it

Fox is liberal because Chris Wallace occasionally asks GOP members "hard" questions and they occasionally let a couple Democrats on to the talk shows that have like 8 Republicans sitting around a table. That Arizona thing, too.

The fact that their arguments make no sense, are transparently hypocritical, that they contradict themselves...it's not accidental. It's not "projection". It's a deliberate attempt to cultivate the belief that truth is unknowable.

Gatts posted:Lmao yes. These guys are something villains out of a fantasy novel but real and the real shock is people go along with them. The idea of spiritual warfare is very real among evangelicals. Like they don't see Satan as a metaphor (or as a translation of "adversary") they believe that Satan and his invisible demons are constantly tempting and corrupting people to sin, these demons have names and personalities. They believe that one must engage in offensive action against these demons through, well, militant prayer that invokes a lot of violent imagery against these demons - almost like spells of binding - and that an insufficiently pious person, or even one who engages in one of the world's many temptations is open to literal demon possession. A lot of talk about the armor of god  Say, isn't that a Roman legionary? Must've won that stuff casting lots.

VitalSigns posted:Officers calmly posed for selfies and appeared to open gates for protesters during the madness of the Capitol building insurrection Yes, the cops are individuals and some of them made bad decisions/were chuds. Are you trying to suggest that the capital police are a monolith? Some were dragged away and beaten trying to hold back and delay a mob of crazy people that heavily outnumbered them. At least one died from wounds the rioters gave him. Another committed suicide from the shock/stress.

Sadly one of the most prolific "comic strip artists" in terms of publishing worldwide. Just a Grade A piece of poo poo with some reallly bizarre hang ups about Catholics and especially the King James version of the Bible

TulliusCicero posted:Pffft, poo poo isn't even a +4 to AC I'm not sure where it came from, but it predates Chick. But that is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. I remember when I was an evangelical teen we got it through youth group and also there are a couple of best selling books by this guy Frank Peretti that are about invisible angels and demons killing each other in invisible war over a woman deciding whether to have an abortion or not. But that's where their fear of things like Harry Potter and D&D come into play, they believe that these things, and indeed anything remotely occult, open the secret portals into your soul that demons can use to possess you like Linda Blair.

Kalit posted:Growing up mormon, I was surprised when I watched this and had never heard about it before. I would recommend this to others! It pulled a huge amount of punches, though, to get access to the Mormon interviewees. I remember it from an episode of... The FBI Files(?) from when I was a kid, and that one went way more into detail about the larger picture of his relationship with the Church of LDS prior to the actual bombings.

Vaccine mandate for all federal employees AND contractors announced tomorrow. All federal employees is pretty big, but not too out there. All contractors is pretty surprising. Going to be interesting to see how many people suck it up and get vaxxed or who decide to to martyr their job (and possible grandma) for the cause. The military hasn't decided whether they will mandate it for all active duty soldiers, but if they do, that would cover ~9.1 million people. Without the military, it is around 7.8 million. https://twitter.com/cnni/status/1420134426927935497

I found this article to be a great encapsulation of something I’ve talked about on SA and elsewhere. I’ve always framed it as “when you’re poor, they make everything hard. Every means tested program you need is a huge pain. But when you get money America makes life easier and easier for you” and it’s good to see that instinctive understanding of what’s going on get some real coverage https://twitter.com/tomgara/status/1420133288749027333?s=21
