Devorum posted:I've come to the conclusion that if my non-lovely friends are okay with keeping someone that lovely around, then they are, in fact, lovely friends. In my case they're mostly the "my middle class white privilege allows me to ignore politics entirely" kind of lovely, rather than "I endorse this guy's lovely politics". Passively lovely vs. actively. The five of them literally went to school together since kindergarten, so they've been friends for over 30 years. I got adopted into the group in high school when my grade school class merged with theirs, so my friendship with the group is "only" 20 years old at this point. We just went on a bachelor party for one of them (minus rear end in a top hat friend) and everyone had a blast, so it's not just me. He got disinvited for being a flake and leaving dog sitting plans to the last minute, but I'll take it

I didn't see this in the wild but rather from someone who found it and mocked it. Original meme followed by right-wing copycat photoshop:  Usually those just change the text and maybe a couple more sloppy edits, this went wild editing both panels.

Deuce posted:Oh my god they just inverted her mouth Now that I look closely, they edited her face in general to make her slightly "uglier" - wider-set eyes, grayer and flatter skin tone to look sickly (or maybe less white, given what they did to the guy and kid in the other picture), kind of Innsmouth'd her.

The story gets even crazier. The guy being whitened is part of the racist edit, but the hair and glasses change branches earlier since the whole thing started with some guy's photo and was then altered to look less like him. The racist edit is based on his original face. https://twitter.com/averie_wright/status/1522388342515675137

The tone of the paragraph where he references the Holocaust makes it sound like he only just now found out about Auschwitz from reading a book, which is a truly incredible thing to admit when making any kind of statement about history.

I noticed people are starting to poo poo on Zoomers more than Millennials. I'm guessing this is due to a number of factors: -The youngest cohort getting the focus on criticism at any point in time, being the most outspoken, having the least agency, and giving people a vision of the future. -Idiots slowly realizing Millennials aren't kids but people in their forties and shifting targets. -Conservative Millennials joining in on the culture war bullshit and using Zoomers as scapegoats. -Conservative panic about stuff like people transitioning at a young age and treating it like it's a fad, and hand wringing about what's going to happen to these people in the future.

Panfilo posted:There's this annoying contrast between them viewing people as subhuman and concern trolling for their wellbeing. Like if they really think these people don't deserve rights or even dignity, why would they be so worried that they might be right in the end? They buddy-up with the far right all the time, and a massive amount of the "concerns" they voice are about preserving fertility. They also go extra hard at anyone who doesn't fit their standards of conventional (i.e. white European) beauty. The cruelty isn't the point. White babies is the point. They're just too much of a coward to actually say the 14 words.

It's also why they fall so easily into racism. They're deeply upset by the idea that there are people who enjoy being women, or that people who do not enjoy being women can just Not. It's much the same as conservatives learning that if you don't enjoy being married, having kids, doing the traditional family thing--you can just not do that. It can't be that you made a mistake and the kids have learned from your misery. There must be something horribly wrong with the children.

Panfilo posted:
It's just one of the differences between conservatives and Nazis. Nazis have a mystical belief in racial purity and believe in exterminating other races to keep the nation pure, and they do indeed mock conservatives for supporting forced birth policies that will lead to more black people and immigrant kids overrunning the pure white race or whatever. Like the NSDAP modern Nazis usually support abortion bans for white women and forced sterilization for non-whites. Conservatives are racist but they aren't into the same mysticism about pure white nations and so on, they want an underclass to do all the poo poo work and make them money and make them feel superior, they want the classes to mostly run along racial lines and therfore forced birth policies that make poor and marginalized people more miserable and desperate are what they want. They do recognize that a fast growing underclass population is a problem for them in a democracy which is why they want voter suppression and minority rule.

The original NSDAP also supported welfare for single mothers as long as they were suitably Germanic, whereas good luck getting modern Conservatives to support that for anyone who isn't a corporation. Mystical pseudo-Westphalian belief in pure ethnostates vs. mystical pseudo-Victorian belief in church and charity and the family being enough for everyone.

I'm about two days from dropping "Republicans are further right than nazis because at least Nazis gave German whites welfare" into a conversation and running away like it was a nuclear fuel rod. Thank God that the GOP needs their labor class or there wouldn't be a distinction to be had.

Like all the crazy parents who flip their poo poo about "why is what I've given you not ENOUGH? You're hurting my feelings by wanting more!" Rather than wanting their kids to go on to bigger and better and brighter things they had or could provide during their kid's childhood. It gets magnified if what the kid wants is ~different~

Similar to how they'll accuse Planned Parenthood of operating a lucrative "abortion industry" yet you aren't supposed to use this supposed phenomenon to argue in favor of having abortion covered by a public health care system.
