Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 20hGoP will want to eventually pull back the craziness and moderate (or pretend to). We can't let them, but I do think they will struggle to do so when no one wants to be involved except nut jobs because thats the only ppl who can get elected simply because...Rs got brainrotted by algos. 000
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 20hSomething that is very good for us is that...no longer does the GoP have full control over R social media. Its no longer just Fox News. And with algos the way they are, its unlikely Rs will naturally become less extreme. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Its truly wild how this bullshit is basically the ENTIRE game legislatively and fools keep voting for it thinking it will benefit them. Sure, Bob you will save 600 a year but you will live in an increasingly shitty country, its not worth it. 010
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Its just a scam. Like we have good evidence now that these tax cuts DO NOT WORK. The growth is *tiny* and *temporary* 010
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 10/10/2026We should burn him at the stake and let a republican in instead that'll solve these problems /s is the usual response I see on here... 150
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 10/10/2026'But I do believe he hates them' Indeed indeed. Thats how we know they are on our team imo. 020

Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Like do we even know NYC money will specifically even be used for those tours? This was just announced. I think everyone got mad before they even got confirmation how the money will be used. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Like I just don't get it. To be mad at this you may as well be mad at like, basically everything ever. Seems like a waste of time. He was always going to do what he had to do to make Jewish leadership happy its no different than Yangs 180 on circumcision. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I don't see how tours meaningfully fund it. Its absolutely nuts to think Mamdani is pro genocide for that. I'd be more convinced if someone could tie NYC given money directly to something meaningful but I don't see that just people making assumptions. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think most of the people here just want to be mad, I don't think most people here looked into it and said okay thats going to make a meaningful difference and clearly Mamdani must be pro genocide. I shouldn't bave even bothered tbh. I know better. 200
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026How many of the people in these comments even live in NYC? 000
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I actually don't think this would work either and most likely it'd require the US invading lol. Which I support. Kind of don't think most would support that though because le interventionism is bad or whatever. 000
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Settlers and IDF could lose 30% of their funding tonight and it wouldn't make a difference for Palestinians. You need dozens of states sanctioning. Some mildly shitty org working with NYC is nothing 300
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Aiding and abetting by having people go on tours? Come on, its meaningless and you know it. 200
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It makes no meaningful difference and purity testing over it just shows you think like an evangelical Christian or maybe someone with a PD or trauma you want to vomit on everyone else to feel better about. Either way its a red flag. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Lemme know when you guys make a meaningful difference in the world being unhinged. Its not unhinged people that convinced everyone to oppose Israel btw but if thats what it takes for you to get up in the morning, keep believing it. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm against israeli genocide you dumb fuck, I'm just smart enough to know Mamdani and *anything* he does is fucking irrelevant to said genocide. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Where did I say its bad? Claiming they are pro genocide though? Dumb and unhinged. 200
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Most people agree with me, they just ignore you guys online because they are well aware you're unhinged. People who hang out with pro hamas people are creepy and frankly, likely to be abusive people IRL. 000
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Its funny because I'm literally opposed to israeli genocide, I just don't have a personality disorder nor have made this one topic my identity like certain people here. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think its funny when people who claim to be feminists lie and pretend hamas is the one army in the world that doesn't rape 110
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Pretty funny because I oppose israeli genocide I just don't associate with tankies lol 310

Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm not joking either. Most of the drama on this is from people with cluster b, ptsd, or severe depression making it their identity. Its so stupid. If you want to succeed (further than it is now tho I'd say we've mostly won effectively in public opinion) you gotta kick these people out of the movemt 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is just city politics. Same reason Yang did a 180 on his circumcision position. Its lame but you kind of just have to wait for old fucks to die. Best thing anyone can do is punish pro israel Dems and push for electing anti-israel (at least as its been) Dems. The rest is mentally ill people 200
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Every one and their mom is basically, have you seen the polling? This is not a minority position 200
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is just more politician is insufficiently puritan stuff. Why even be involved in politics if you are expecting fantasy 410
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah I do know. One of the orgs pushes pro normalization of situation by inviting people to come tour IDF positions. Which is gross but also in of itself isn't going to make an actual difference in the world. 100
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The funny part is they probably also claim they are feminists but will also pretend that totally no one was raped on Oct 7th lmao 300
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I mean theres like a dozen people in this thread alone talking about how they are personally pro hamas, pretty bad look. I dont think its that complicated, siding with nuts will always make you look bad. 1130
Sqepticism @sqep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Thought terminating cliche? What thought it being terminated here? 'You're making your entire movement look incredibly stupid which isn't even good for your own aims?' 12320
