I think it's really embarrassing as an international community how many people continue doing business with the guy who got caught ordering incompetent hitmen to murder a journalist he hated, a thing he not-so-implicitly does all the time
Feel like that's a pretty easy line to draw in the sand tbh

Toxic "fans" need to be called out. Not just because bigotry, harassment, and other shitty behavior should have no place anywhere, but also because we should make fandoms welcoming spaces and push out the culture war tourists who miss the message of these fandoms.

I am well versed in American racism and I can tell you that Greene, Mace, and Boebert have neither tired of white supremacy nor the patriarchy and are simply bitter that they are no longer young enough, white enough, attractive enough or useful enough to reap the rewards of Bondi, Noem, and Kirk.
I'd be really curious if someone better versed in feminist theory wrote about what's happening on the right. Because between Greene, Mace, and Bobert, we've got this bloc forming of women who seem tired of serving a patriarchy of sex criminals. And their rhetoric is starting to lean that direction.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that Muslims are a “threat to our freedom” on Tuesday as he targeted the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S. with a foreign terrorist organization label in an escalation of a movement of anti-Muslim hate in the state.

Various group-philosophical pessimisms will have you believing that universalism is impossible, not worth striving for. That if you don't oppress, you will inevitably be a victim. I refuse. We are best protected by democracy, by the rule of law, by human and civil rights.

to be clear, i also do not think it is necessarily true that adopting a laundry list of progressive positions is an instant win either. i think you have to do the work of discovering what it is that voters want in a direct and engaged way. and i think that voters want moral leadership.
it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Why should we care whether she is trans? She was killed by a significant other. How is it different from all the other women killed in domestic violence?

"overrated" has to be the most commonly used word that doesn't mean actually anything.
There's something so needlessly bitter about it to me. Oh did other people love something too much for you? What's the correct amount of praise then? Worthless imo.
