It's been very obvious since day one of Musk owning Twitter that he just does something and then tells his underlings to figure it out later

But did you also consider that it would make you a target for madmen? The Musk thread has a post about a guy called WarClandestine (aka an account that spread news about the CIA having biolabs in Ukraine.) Basically, not only does this guy want to sue everyone since they are all calling him liars when those labs are really there AND he wants Musk to foot the bill. He is now also promising to go camp out in X HQ until he gets a meeting with Musk. I can't help but think that is going to not end well.

Loomer ran for Congress twice in two different parts of the state somehow She first tried it in super blue Palm Beach County and that failed, so she tried again up here with a district that is mostly Lake County but lost the primary to the incumbent Republican and then claimed the election was rigged

I doubt Musk even understands that most states are right-to-work, and people can be fired without cause.

Even where it's legal to fire without cause, if a cause is given it can potentially be taken to court. That's usually for things that are federally protected, but lol

Oh Elon's not going to help anybody with their cases. The one thing is that it means unhinged people will start showing up demanding to personally speak to Elon about their court case. (See the Biolabs in Ukraine guy.) It's funny that a guy who needs bodyguards to escort him to and from the toilet and wanted to shut down a guy who would say where and when a jet often used by Musk was in the air, has in effect created a huge personal safety risk by making this announcement about funding court cases.

True, but it's also the idea of We Know the REAL Truth that The Liberal Media (and all those pedophile reporters) won't tell you because we listened to a podcast or saw some YouTube videos. Or maybe we heard something in church. SImilar to the ways that there are countless reasons to dislike Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama but none of them involve chugging adrenochrome in underground pizza parlors, being a secret Muslim terrorist, the absence of a legitimate birth certificate or whatever Dinesh D'Souza talks about in his "documentaries". The REAL truth is not that the thing that you personally experienced and know about. It's whatever dubiously sourced news articles and weird social media rabbit holes I went down tell me to think. Who the gently caress cares what all these anti american gay troops tell us about the horrors of war when all I have to do is look at the glory of US flag and watch Patton or Saving Private Ryan to know that's how real american heroes are made. By killing people. In this article, we have an organization of actual victims of human trafficking having to defend themselves from people who watched a fictional movie bankrolled by conservative interests telling them that their reality is incorrect. It loving sucks The Islamic Shock posted:Conservatives, claiming to do something to make lives better for a marginalized group of people, actually make things worse, refuse to acknowledge the people they say they want to help telling them it's making their lives worse, and at least at the top they know very well what they're doing while the rest of the voter base rubes eat it up. Maybe next they can go talk to all those black/elderly/homeless Vietnam and Iraq war veterans to explain to them why the suffering, depression, poverty and PSTD they suffer from is made up because they saw a Chuck Norris or SLy Stallone movie. And since I mentioned it, I wonder how many of them would argue that the cops are the real heroes in First Blood. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Aug 8, 2023 |

Also LOL at that Tweet because, yeah...in your face, libs! Fuckin liberals HATE loving families, man! See this baby we didn't ABORT or sacrifice to Satan, you loving godless commies? Notice were a MAN and a WOMAN in love? Bet you all really hate seeing that and don't want it taught in schools! We celebrate Christmas too, you fuckers, but the media won't report how white, straight and in love we are! Speaking as a leftist, one thing I genuinely despise is people expressing their love for each other and caring for children. Even more than war. More than anything, really. Disgusting. I'm so Owned.

First Blood lives at a weird place in right wing perspective, as the antagonists in their own moment would have been recognized as such (as they're lazy, overly cruel goons as opposed to Are Hero Cops of today) and Rambo the suffering hero of war someone else lost.* Also, the national guardsmen called in later to deal with him as clear stand-ins for the not-quite draft dodger sorts who avoided service in the war by hiding in the guard or reserves, while chief antagonist Sheriff Teasle as a conflicted character who'd done right by America in an earlier war but fails to understand what Vietnam really was like (ie: a narrative of American heroes betrayed by the pinkos, peaceniks, and cowardly bureaucrats, all themes developed in the next movie). *the actual tagline from First Blood Pt. II

I feel it's the ultimate participation trophy in a way - they need to find a way to feel special and unique about things they feel are the everyday status quo. So they pretend like what they are doing is the real act of rebellion. They also jump to the conclusion of liberals hating families because left leaning people tend to be more honest about choosing not to have children. So they follow that logic to it's extreme and simply assume leftists are hostile to people having kids. They also recycle the homophobic yarn of "they can't have children themselves so they have to brainwash yours". Leftists may be teachers, caregivers, therapists, entertainers, etc but that's just Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and definitely not the same as some fundie conservative who homeschools their eigjt children. You'll also see them go back and forth on the eugenic angle-  "Pffft who cares if they identify as an attack helicopter they sterilized themselves and will self unalive their own ranks until they die out" "Yeah but they simultaneously control the media, education, government, big business, big Pharms will just sissy hypno our kids into believing all their terrible marxism!"

There’s a sense in which “it’s all projection” is accurate, but it seems more accurate to me that they can’t imagine a world that isn’t 100% about indoctrination and control. So when they see education that isn’t the propaganda they want, they assume it must be propaganda meant to destroy them somehow, because all education is propaganda to them and the goal is to use it to destroy undesirables. Maybe that is just projection.

Yeah, no, you're right. Projection is common but the fundamental issue is that conservatism - in all of its forms - has as one of its core ideas the assumption that life is a zero sum game. Any time two beings interact there is a dominant and a submissive party. Period. Conservatives fundamentally do not believe that genuine equality is possible. I'm not saying there isn't an element of projection, but this is really the fundamental reason why they always assume feminism means matriarchy and why gay rights meants heterosexual erasure, and so on. If women aren't being subjugated by men then the literal only alternative is that they are subjugating men. Like it's the core disconnect and part of why liberal outreach tends to fail, and a big part of why they characterize liberals and leftists as naive and childish. There is a fundamental disconnect on the nature of reality and life between conservatives and other people. Equality is not undesirable to a conservative - indeed many may genuinely think it is a lovely fantasy - it is rather impossible. Like this is why a part of conservative morality is both learning your place and also learning to be a 'kind' master. Because the idea of 'learning to be one among equals' is absurd liberal claptrap that could never happen in the real world.

Yeah while I know they are 100% contradictory and hypocritical some of the more annoying contradictions are that they act like open discourse is good and rational yet they aren't willing to actually play the game at all. Compare these two discussions:  "I like Coca-Cola" "Well I prefer Pepsi, Coke hurts my teeth. " "I disagree but I can understand some people prefer a sweeter cola even though I don't."VS. "I like Coca-Cola." "Well I prefer Pepsi, Coke hurts my teeth. " "That's because you have no idea what you are talking about. People just pretend to hate Coke to be edgy. But most Mature Rational Adults come around eventually."Conservatives want to pretend their marketplace of ideas is the former discussion, but in actuality it's the latter. They can't conceive people having beliefs of equal conviction that are different from their own. So if others disagree, then it must be out of naivety, ignorance, willful defiance, or insanity.

Yeah, the end goal for conservative "debate" is just to browbeat the other person into shutting up, not to actually convince anyone of anything. In their view, people with different opinions either don't actually believe their opinions, or they're So Dumb and Goddamn Crazy, so they're either evil or a lost cause. Don't give them even an ounce of good faith, they're not going to change their minds, just do whatever it takes to get them to shut up, then claim victory. They assume all political debate is like this, where policy changes only occur because one side was loud and scary enough so that the other side caved. All of those medical boards aren't recommending gender-affirming care because they actually think it's beneficial, it's all due to being screamed at by the extremely large and powerful Trans Lobby! That's gotta be it!
