jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 05/10/2026User "A. Doofus" added me to a list entitled "Actual Fascists" because I did not agree that AOC is the *strongest* possible Democratic candidate in the 2028 general election. 000
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don't know what that is supposed to mean. Vance would probably beat AOC. That's a scathing indictment of America, but it's true. Ossoff, Pritzker, Shapiro, Brown and probably even Newsom beats him. 100
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Before you respond, I want you to take a second to remember the difference between "is" an "ought". 100
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 05/10/2026What "people". You truly believe AOC is strongest in a General election over any other Dem? 200
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You're wrong. I wish you weren't, but you are and it's obvious. 000

jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm fine with it in the very specific context of making a forced-birther/ Liz Bruenig squirm, but yeah, it shouldn't be part of the literature. 030

Reposted by jms🕸️🕷️SpiderPost🕷️🕸️(mortem), if clinically indicated @ridertoast.bsky.social · 06/09/2026We really need to push back on the narrative that actually doctors were so snooty they made people say “I’m still glad I didn’t vaccinate my kid who just died of measles”. The pathos is way fucking deeper than a pediatrician was condescending one time. This framing undercuts medical expertise. 612820
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Yeah, and they failed to do that and you're not being hostile enough to MAHA. Fuck off, dipshit. 000
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I never said there wasn't. But that's not an "understandable" reason for rejecting vaccines. 020
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 06/09/2026This pernicious tendency to validate extreme and harmful rejection of institutions because of relatively mundane complaints about the institution really frustrates me. It's like sympathizing with a hijacker because the flight attendant was rude. 2221
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 06/09/2026And... *do* I need to have compassion for these people? Seems like that would just encourage and validate their feelings. Their opinion isn't valid, I don't think we should pretend that it is. 130
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Respectfully, that doesn't sound like a case of a condescending or sexist medical establishment pushing someone into a crunchy/MAHA space, which is what the OP claimed was happening. This sounds like pride not letting her believe that something could be "wrong" with her child. 140
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Whether it's due to economic anxiety, women being too picky about height, or condescending doctors, the important thing to know is that the worst people in the world are just smol babies. 1140
jms @malthusiantrap.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Is it true? The experience you just shared was not one where you became MAHA, but took charge and ensured you got access to the very expertise MAHA rejects. 1330
