John Fetterman, Dan Bongino, Elon Musk. Truly, our world is rich with grown adult men who can’t decide if they want to be unflappable alpha tough guys or sad tumblr dickweeds. And they rule over us, and it feels great, and we love it.
This is hilarious... and pathetic.

Leaving aside the egregious comparison to Larry Kramer, RFK's ideas about COVID were treated as false because they were false!
He has spent his entire adult life promoting ideas that are wrong and have literally gotten children killed. How *should* we treat a figure like this?

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

If people believe they will materially benefit from the removal of a marginalised group's rights, they will often support it. They don't need to be ideologically commited to hatred of those groups. You don't need brainwashing. Apathy and self-interest is enough.

Thinking about Nazi Germany for example. Was the population of Germany broadly antisemitic? Of course. Were Jewish people being systemically demonised? Of course.
But shopkeepers didn't just support pogroms because they hated Jews - but also because it put their Jewish competitors out of business.

The hard truth is that there are some products you just can't make in America. These must be imported from elsewhere. Like chocolates, for example. American workers will always become overwhelmed by the speed of the conveyor belt. They'll end up shoving the sweets into their mouths and blouses

I'm don't think the data supports that the global far-right is radicalizing "almost exclusively young men".
The global far right is recruiting large numbers of men and women in the 30-65 age bracket. The reason young men stand out in analysis is because young women are the ONLY group moving left.

The far-right radicalization of young men (and almost exclusively young men) is a global phenomenon, and no one has any good idea of what to do about it.
