forced myself to go to a show i had been eager about for over six months i'm so angry at how rotten my mental health has gotten. it's actually debilitating and so much of it is because i'm actively addicted to my phone. i can feel the addiction and i hate it.

Everyone from Bari Weiss to Mike Johnson has been out running their mouths about antisemitism. Andrew Cuomo's doing so tonight on live TV. @saulelbein.bsky.social has a very important question: what the fuck are these guys talking about?

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.* You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

> and has been to neo-nazi movements over the last 10 years. posters contributing to this ignorance by sharing and amplifying an "ironic meme" are abdicating their responsibility of knowing better, as well as the responsibility to question grains of antisemitism possibly ingrained in their worldview

nick @swellmode.lol · 14/10/2025
in this instance, neo-nazis have accurately recognized the left's resentment of colonial dynamics and instead of defending their belief in those dynamics, they're lazily couching anti-imperialist belief in old antisemitic canards. a lot of the online left underestimates how critical propaganda is >

nick @swellmode.lol · 14/10/2025
apropos of any (dis)agreement with this post, i think a dynamic missed with this approach is the rhetorical success of the OG nazis - resentment originating from disillusionment by the failure of liberal systems being leveraged against jews as a diversionary tactic - bearing a different fruit.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

oh i 100% believe it lol and make no mistake, i know antisemitism was rampant in the first iteration. the difference is that it feels like it's the genesis this time, with the push toward the reactionary edges fomented primarily by anti-israel sentiment rather than anti-hillary clinton sentiment

The thing about "therapyspeak" is it's not even an accurate descriptor. No serious therapist tells you to call random people in your life narcissists or use your mental illness as an excuse to not grow as a person. You're all arseholes

doing a little more reading into nofap & its off-shoots as a result of this, and there's really no contemporary "countercultural" movement that's more than two or three degrees of separation away from full on "protocols of the elders" nazi shit huh? lmao, love the world we live in
a screenshot of a tweet with three photos in it. the main image on the left is an infographic about "porn addiction" and its various maladies. the image is of an older man nefariously hiding behind a computer screen with "XXX" displayed on it. the image is extremely reminiscent of nazi-era antisemitic propaganda. below the three images is another tweet that reads "Death to pornographers."
