  • opponents of israel are treated like enemies of the state

    i’d say it’s weird but it’s not at all, it’s been a thing that has been slowly ramping up for a very long time

    the feds are getting really good at boiling the frog.

    These psychopaths turn everything into metrics. The pro-palestinian calls are probably marked, they’re probably associated with the name on the voter registry, and that probably goes somewhere nasty.

    This is kinda paranoid but in general people should probably not offer their genuine opinions to officials of a major political party or any operative of the state or federal government, even if it gives you some wicked sick catharsis, because these losers absolutely keep score and I am pretty sure we’re going into a phase of governance in this country where having plausible deniability for your ‘disloyalty’ is a good thing - and for whatever reason, support to israel is seen as a critical indicator.







  • Just going off what the metaphysics that undergirds a lot of ‘demonic’ shit tends to be like- physical presence requires some doing! what a lucky guy! so anyway demons don’t just show up in your life, again per the lit, don’t read this as my actual belief, but they don’t just show up. In some stuff we all have a link to them within us, but in general if you wanna talk to p’ig pou’balzt to work on something, that’s never circumstantial - that has to be sought out.

    what i’m saying is it’s funny to imagine Tucker summoning something out of a medieval grimoire and getting absolutely wrecked by it, but then omitting his causal agency to rile up his christian audience







  • Hey, I’m a religion nerd?

    But religion nerds who know way more than me and can make a better case for what atheism really is under the hood have made videos i can share.

    This guy is pretty good in general, if you want to understand religion on a deeper level than like, what’s common to everyone. Because common knowlege about religion is garbage. Like huge garbage. It’s all shit. I can’t have normal conversations about these topics anymore, because i know more than most people and not enough for everyone i learn from. It’s great.

    edit: also i should probably define terms. I’m aware atheism can mean non-religious, but given that in name it’s defined in terms of negating religion, people who study religion are still probably the best lens we have to study it as a phenomenon, but i don’t want to imply any kind of personal belief about what atheism is - what it is is complicated and it does range from a redditor who is a little too into dawkins, to atheistic forms of religious behavior that don’t fit neatly into categories of belief or non belief - it’s a weirdly huge topic.





  • to answer the thread title: yeah kinda probably

    Power at the national level needs replacements occasionally, but there’s strong evidence AOC was always astroturfed and was always positioned as a sheepdog - it sucks but it’s probably time to revise your understanding of her career to include a removal of any sincerity in her image at any point. It was always a work.

    But sometimes one or two oddballs actually end up there, but I really think in general, these folks get bent over and read in like every state asset does. Bill Hicks had a joke that the CIA shows you a different angle of the kennedy assassination - I think it more likely the second you fuck up you are put in a position to be blackmailed - that Diddy/Epstein pedo shit surely goes deeper than a couple of pimps getting one over on some pop culture celebrities - we know better than that - and while I’m not saying everyone in congress is a nonce, i am saying they either did work that got them the nod to take the position from powerful people, or they have blackmail. I don’t think you stay in the club otherwise.


  • oh, it was changing before i even left highschool. I saw the writing on the wall because the 2008 election is about when the stormfront shit really amped up in response to obama’s candidacy and subsequent presidency.

    I stuck around, partly because i didn’t want these shitheads displacing me on a place i considered a primary community for me, but also I felt like there was a rhetorical battle to be fought. When you’re anonymous, the winning pov is usually the one that can sustain itself the loudest and longest. I guess back then I really didn’t appreciate that the right wing enjoys more robust support from groups very willing to astroturf spaces like that, it felt like a worthy fight.

    But by the time I began transitioning and reckoning with my queerness, the final straw was how deeply sick and unwell the lgbt community is there. I realized that maybe this place was super toxic and that it was time to go.

    I’m mostly embarassed, but I still get wistful about what might’ve been


  • Man, i remember being like, 16, it’s 2005 and /b/ is raiding an early right wing streamer or stormfront, and we’re starting to do “activism” on the internet and it’s pretty robustly left wing even if not like, really grounded in theory and prone to liberal derailment.

    But like, all those harassment targets followed us back because it turns out “don’t talk about 4chan” said tongue in cheek isn’t real opsec.

    It was still a shithole full of things I can’t excuse and won’t defend full stop - I still remember when the vibe could’ve gone a very different way, and I die a little inside remembering the agonizing witnessing of the fascist slide, because it did happen god damn it, i remember.

    I checked in recently and the porn was all race shit and cuckold stuff, the incel vibes were off the charts worse than they’d ever been when i was younger, the earnest posts were fucking deranged. It’s really sad. It’s a shame they should all probably be consigned to the wall because a psudo-anonymous org is probably a useful idea for activism
