i feel like a huge amount of right wing sentiment is now centered around a wholesale rejection of reality for being either too complicated or too scary or too ideologically inconvenient and so they retreat to the worldview of literal 4 year olds
@willmenaker
starship troopers is unironically a good test of how susceptible a person is to propaganda because it is a film about fascism shot through the lens of fascist propaganda. If someone isn’t able to see through that then they probably aren’t able to see through the real stuff
“real environmentalism is when there’s a bunch of grass and cows because those are plants and animals” is a child’s understanding of the world, and anyone who believes it should have a child’s level of influence over civil society
@shaun_vids
It’s cause a 13 year old boy’s idea of a cool guy is a a rich guy who knows kickboxing and owns a bunch of fast cars and tells them how to attract women (they also don’t know how to attract women so they fall for what he says)

White superheros: this guy has a robot suit. This guy was blasted with radiation. This guy was bitten by a spider.
Black Superhero: This guy has the mystical powers of the ancient spirits of his African kingdom
Asian superhero: this guy is like Jackie chan 2
@Java_jigga
I think they fucked up by making zombie stuff about disease. They should’ve kept it as literal corpses coming out of their graves because of magic
@Nemo_Literam
meanwhile there’s some advanced hyper-communist alien society on the other side of the galaxy thinking about what if there are no advanced aliens bc they’re all stuck in capitalism

@ChrisVoiceman
that’s why u shouldn’t give all the voting power to the fans, it just turns into a game of what’s the biggest name on the list
@Discourse_Jeb
Gatekeeping knowledge is literally what happens when you take a book from the library and never return it. You stole something from a common pool of resources to keep for yourself forever, preventing everyone else from accessing it.
@GBBranstetter
“Discuss human sexuality with her children on her own terms” is shorthand for “force her backwards views on her children without giving them a chance to question her”
@Java_jigga
I’ve honestly thought for a while now that stuff like autism and ADHD aren’t actually mental illnesses but simply different forms of thought that serve useful purposes in human society. We only treat them as bad because they are often less suited to capitalist drudgery
@CantEverDie
i love how her only marketing point for this bar is that there will be no trans people there. no mention of what the bar will look like, what drinks/food will be available, what kind of stuff there will be to do at the bar. No reason to go here unless u just hate trans people
@Java_jigga
It was genius of conservatives when they figured out how to spin “nobody likes me because I’m an abrasive weirdo” into “I’m being silenced for me challenging ideas”
@yandhiisntreal
its because the omnitrix knows that grey matter is actually the best choice for the situation and u need to learn a lesson about solving problems with something other than brute force
“we demand BODIES. we demand NEW FLESH. FLESH to sate the maw of the grinder. you must BREED. you are a machine that only exists to give us NEW YOUNG BODIES. if you refuse to comply you are BROKEN.”
HOT TAKE: Not wanting kids is weird and is a cultural or emotional defect. We were made for relationship and are literally biologically wired to have children. It's entirely unnatural to not want them.
@AnimeSerbia
dianne feinstein’s stats got too low and she died and the grim reaper came to take her away and i told a joke to him so now the grim reaper is permanently listed in my contacts
something i’ve noticed about these weirdos is that they’re insistent on upholding the regime of heterosexuality while simultaneously viewing the act of a man marrying a woman as a kind of spiritual castration
@neon_evangayion
afaik puyi was a puppet leader from whom the japanese had hid basically the entire outside world, and when this was revealed to him he embraced the opportunity to just live in the world as a normal person
@Millerheighife
This is like the man in black scene. One’s playing baseball, one’s laying bricks, one’s just cleaning his bottle to reuse it, one’s got a straight up nerf gun, and the guy in red is, uh, hunting
if u only ever “subtly imply” that queer characters are queer then straight audiences just assume they’re straight and get mad at queer people when they say the character is queer
@legotrillermoth
@yandhiisntreal
the difference between some gen x celeb who is only there bc of contractual obligations vs a zoomer celeb who actually plays and enjoys video games
@RaceplayShawty
remember when this show revealed that the fascist klansman superhero was actually a black man who survived a lynching the whole time bc they didn’t understand or like the point moore was trying to make about american culture
Bimisogyny is when people get mad at a woman’s shitty transphobic boyfriend who is straight and cis, and don’t like that she brought him into a queer space
Bimisogyny is bi women imagined as extensions of cishet men rather than people. Their entire personhood and humanity is denied in favor of subordinate existence.
If this sounds like classic misogyny, let me say once again that bi women bear the brunt of it. We carry it sevenfold
@polishXcellence
Incredible how much this guy loves Twitter. He allegedly has a wife and daughter who he could spend time with but instead he chooses to log on and get bullied every day
@greenTetra_
Orangutans are wise but they are also peaceful, innocent of man’s vices, feasting not on the fruit of knowledge but that of the humble earth. Chimpanzees know what sin is and do it regularly
@InternetHippo
But hippo, if we speak the bad words, we might offend the politics gods, and we will be forever cursed with presidents that make me uncomfortable
@LVDunceCap
@ACorollaries
I actually did work hard by drinking milk instead of water between the ages of 4 to 8 so that I would have bones of adamantine strength
@postingwhilegay
weird online people imagining a nightmare scenario: “you’re locked in a room full of beautiful women but you can only kill two of them”
Hey guys, epic sexy revolutionary here. DAE love guns and bacon lmao🤪🤪🤪 btw the left really needs to contend with the fact that six million is just unrealistic
@badambulist
remember when that one guy saw a graph showing trans women were murdered at a much greater rate than any other demographic and he thought “hmmmm that doesn’t sound right” and made his own version of the graph based on what he thought should be correct where trans men were higher
im gonna start gatekeeping men out of gaming. oh u call urself a gamer but the only games u play are cod and 2k, gtfo fake gamer boy, talk to me when u’ve played a real game like disco elysium or stardew valley

@mustachetoilet
God damn I never noticed the Veidt method ad saying “I will give you bodies beyond your wildest imagination.” Watchmen really is on a whole other level
@posting_forever
people can no longer afford to eat because the federal programs they depended on to afford basic necessities were needlessly cut, but that doesn’t actually mean anything about the health of the economy bc its not on any of my graphs
