      Yeah that group just happens to have a trans person in it. When you dig in, its just absolute rationalists and a boat.

          The fact that you do not think there was anything to Lampoon about our culture and political correctness that you think South Park was uncalled in making fun of, really shows a lack of understanding. You do not seem to know the world you help create, you know, the one in which fascists just one unified control of our country.

              You are being led to blame some people will ignoring the failures of others. To say the failures of others ignores the fact that they succeeded in quashing the attempts of others to succeed, became the only option in succeeding and then failed, once, twice, three times.

    I read through the article. I think that the screenshot is the only leak revealed by Ken. The rest of the article talks about documents published by the Heritage Foundation. The conclusion of the substack article is that Republicans are trying to invent a transgender category of terrorism designation, “Transgender Ideology Inspired Violent Extremism” TIVE.

      They’re doing a rerun of the “videogames cause violence” moral panic, but instead of videogames it’s trans identity.

      The end goal is going to be to try and take down all trans spaces online because they “cause violence”.

        I think there is an existing category for White Supremacist violence. I see some government webpages using the label “White Supremacist Extremist (WSE)” as a designation.

        The MAGA regime is trying to make a conspiracy theory that transgender people are supremacists or that they want to force every cis person to become transgender.

          You’d think the capital class would push for transgender acceptance for the economic opportunity-- selling hormones and cash-paid surgeries, new clothes and makeup to a new audience, replacing bathroom signs. Being able to signal “being the good guy” and court certain demographics without anything involving spending a dime.

          We’ll know America figured it out when someone demonstrates their wealth by hoarding all the genders for themselves.

        when Trueanan is good, they’re good

        but I could not follow their Ziz episode at all. The only thing I remember from it is that the group harassed a landlord and Brace and Liz kept bringing up Steven Universe for whatever reason

          Nope, this is what happens when you allow san Francisco tech bros try to recreate the enlightenment era. Some keywords are rationalists, Yud… Something (look up Harry Potter and the methods of rationality, that author) and star slated codex. Fun rabbit hole, fell half into the fiction some of them made as a teen, its pretty amusing, but becoming a black cultist is hard since being anti-black is tenet of cults. It’s a whole massive rabbithole that built up into the zizians who then fractured off into their own super cult.

          This is homegrown American brainworms, no more the feds than .world doing cold war propaganda for free.

            That picture of Ziz gave me whiplash. She looks SHOCKINGLY similar to me. I have a slightly pointier jawline and that is about it.

            Wonder if they had any connection to that Tyler guy, that would make a LOT of sense.

              Hey, she’s one hell of an organizer 🤷🏾‍♂️. The point of philosophy is to change it but brainworms philosophy.

              Oh the rokos basilisk thing that went around years ago is also related to the rationalists. If standard Americana creates good brainworms, rationalists create the gourmet shit.

    Tbh I would like to fake my death so that my current location is unknown and spread ideology in encrypted chatrooms that attract fringe individuals. However, I’ll be GOD DAMNED if I’m associating with someone named Maximilian Bentley Snyder.
