Well, not antique but most certainly you are not. I don't know anyone in Finland who would have full-floor carpets. Vacuuming a "normal" doesn't clean it as well as beating it, so pretty much everyone has those, except more modern ones.

This thing is like 100? years old at this point, but it still slaps the poo poo out of area rugs and carpets and my aquarium towel when it's too gross to stuff in the washing machine. Normally i'd be all about preserving an antique but decades of use and barely a dent. This thing is gonna outlive me and probably whoever buys it after I die.

Yeah she was funneling money to a lot of 14 words dudes in the Canadian hillbilly antivax trucker thing and she can say "oh no I just think a certain group of people wink wink is trying to control us with microchips and global banking, I'm not one of THOSE types" but it's weirdly specific what she financially backs while vocally regurgitating Alex Jones poo poo.

If I had a nickel for every time I had a crush on a buff lady who turned out to be a fascist conspiracy theorist I'd have two nickels.

It's basically a strain of reactionary thought that ties into Pan-Africanism. As usual it's something of a spectrum, on the shallow end of things it's just fairly harmless stuff like people taking pride in (often somewhat mythologized) African history. But there's also a fair amount of misogyny, homophobia, just with a different bend to it. If you've heard of Tariq Nasheed, he's a prime example of this sort of thing, he spends much of his time insulting black women as basically race traitors whenever they so much as take selfies together with men who aren't also black, or theorizing that homosexuality was intentionally introduced to black people by whitey to weaken them. In the deep end you get the truly wild stuff, like the idea that women having periods is a white people thing that didn't happen in prehistoric Africa.

Outrail posted:

They're everywhere.

Both from research and anecdotal evidence, the introduction of "Share" buttons on social media has pretty much been the most destructive innovation of the past few decades. (Alongside similar stuff like retweets and automatically surfacing stuff your friends "Like".) I feel like if you actually had to go through even the tiniest effort required to copy and paste a link, there would still be some sort of pressure to add some of your own thoughts to back up what you're sharing, and most people honestly are cowards who don't want to do that. But by cutting the effort down to zero, they've successfully removed that mental barrier. So now all these people who would normally keep this crap to themselves, because even they aren't really sure they believe it, are being emboldened and reinforced because there's basically nothing discouraging it, other than a crowd on Twitter who are honestly kind of insufferable regardless of how right they may be.

I wish we could keep the mental barrier without removing the actual barrier, since giving everyone a voice can be good, in theory. But obviously, there are financial incentives behind it.
