Yep. You have to stay out of the general subs and stay in the niche hobby/passion subs with good moderation.

Weird because I remember Rain Man winning the Academy Award for Best Picture around the time a whole slew of movies and music featured transphobic themes due to its prevalence. From Crocodile Dundee and The Crying Game to Funky Cold Medina and many others.

And consistent failure is really hard to deal with in roleplaying games! It's not like improv where it's funny or in theater where it just serves growth. Failure means you're potentially putting your friends' characters at risk. It means introducing stress to the game. There are mechanical stakes.

When I say "laughing" I mean he thought it was kinda funny that he wants Maduro overthrown just like Trump does but he doesn't like how Trump is doing it.

David Frum was laughing about this last week on The Bulwark. Reminder that when libs say Trump destroyed their country and they want to just go back to what it used to be, this is also what it used to be. This part has been around for 70 damn years.

The "Dictionary of Underworld Lingo" is a book from 1950, written by prisoners, and is one of the most incredible finds I've ever made. youtube.com/shorts/iP4pW...

No it won't even get to that. This still would have to go through the Senate and then not get vetoed by Trump. The point of this is to force Trump to publicly block the release of the files because it will make him look even guiltier.

Trump's Treasury Secretary literally just let it slip that Epstein was "the biggest blackmailer in the world", even though at no point has the FBI under any president made that claim, even after Epstein was arrested.

040

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

See: Maxwell's father, Alex Acosta literally saying he was told Epstein was an asset, Giuffre saying in her book that Ehud Barak himself r*ped her, Lewis Black's story about being taken to Epstein's apartment while Epstein was meeting with Israel's Defense Minister. This was a blackmail operation.

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

It's not just that. It's that Epstein was working for Mossad. This isn't even a conspiracy theory at this point, it's just Occam's Razor.

See: The ACA example used earlier. The majority of the ACA is a disaster. It has not significantly lowered healthcare costs, and thanks to the mandate being struck down, the core value proposition of it (lower costs and more coverage) will never take shape. What's pragmatic about that?

110

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

It's absolutely erroneous, yeah. Leftists believe we are pragmatic. Right wingers believe they are pragmatic. Centrists believe they are pragmatic. But only Centrists get popularly treated in the media like they're right, just because their policies are moored to the theoretical center.

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

tbf I did not ask for a centrist position that worked, so credit where it is due you did provide an alright example. But I don't really know all that many people on any part of the political spectrums who still think the ACA is a good solution.

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Literally the New Deal. The single most positive initiative in the history of America. Second, the War on Poverty, which lifted ~75% of impoverished Americans out of poverty within 10 years.

020

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

That wasn't centrism though. Eisenhower's highway system is a left wing policy. So was LBJ's War on Poverty initiative. And Nixon only created the EPA after progressives backing Ralph Nader successfully fought for the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act to be passed.

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Was it? Because right now the government is shut down in large part because the ACA's costs are skyrocketing and the only way they seem to be able to fix it is with tax credits... aka tax dollars going to wealthy healthcare companies. Centrists are the ones who removed the Public Option from the ACA

Ghostyyyyy @ghostyghosty.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Give me an example of one broadly held centrist position. The kind of position that would be considered de facto for any centrist to hold.

And like, if making fun of them was some wonderful solution to fascism, the Daily Show and The Colbert Show (the original one) would have stopped this already, 15 years ago. Stewart himself once said of his own line of work that the greatest period of satire in modern history was Weimar Germany.

I don't mind laughing at them, it's the "omg add the Benny Hill theme" part that is so irritating. We can cheer the man's escape without turning his terror into a pop culture referencing silly goof.

Sorry but all I can think about are the people who don't get away, and what happens to them. I don't care if that specific small group of ICE agents looks bad.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Sure! They call them the "fourteen words." Just one of many examples of ways they code their beliefs so that they can stay largely invisible to the general public, while being visible to each other.

No, this is so important: They do, they are just lying about their actual principles because saying them out loud gets them ostracized. This is a movement that has been surviving largely in hiding for 70 years, they know they have to lie to win over enough supporters to take power.

Through endless repetition and ubiquity of their fabricated narratives, they peel off people via the simple math of attrition until they have formed not a majority (which is unnecessary) but a critical mass, and then the pogroms start. First unofficially, then officially.

This is the part that liberals and progressives still have yet to fully grasp about the fascist project: They are not stupid, they are not hypocrites, they are just straight up liars. They win through flooding the zone with dishonesty, hypocrisy, and bad faith takes, and over time those lies spread.
