Anyway, hello new followers! Fair warning, campists are not going to have a good time here.
I'm not going to take any lecture on morality or ethics from someone who has a username that looks like it was made up by a snickering 14-year-old. No, MaosCumSock69, I don't believe Kamala Harris would have deployed anonymous hit squads to snatch and disappear people at random, thanks for asking.

Actually, this is unfair, now that I think about it. Some people's takes weren't issued to them by a podcast, but rather by Cold War-era Soviet propaganda.
Some people on here need to have their takes challenged with "And what podcast issued you *that* opinion?"

We’ve had decades of “I don’t need to read about _____, I saw a video/movie/slideshow about it”, and I submit to you, readers, the question of “are we better off for it?”

i feel like you could fool a lot of people writing up a news article with a headline like "Inside Zohran Mamdani's plan for Islamic education in mathematics" and it's just algebra

I feel like we need another wacky news story. Like the 30-50 feral hogs, stuck boat, that time they accidentally showed Final Fantasy themed pornography in the Italian parliament. Things of that nature. It’s been too long.

Stay in your seat

Just relax, you'll be fine
Drink your fifty-dollar wine
And take a breath--
Welcome to a show about death!"

80s: Japan is the future
90s, 00s: Japan in dying country typified by stagnant incomes, xenophobia and toxic, sexless nerd culture
Now: oh, that WAS the future

the actual suicide of the West will be combining a rapidly aging population with hostility to migrants. however we must give credit to East Asia, especially Japan, for pioneering this model.

I can't help but notice how much criticism of Sarah McBride - or the Democratic Party in general, honestly - comes from people who don't come from, or live in, the United States.

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

I never heard of this artist before tonight, and I'm glad I now have. His work scratches the same itch for me that Simon Stålenhag does.
Attempted going back to Twitter, and was immediately reminded of why I left to begin with, def still a nazi shithole full of the most illiterate dumbfucks imaginable, bleak doesn't begin to cover it. Then I remembered I had an account on here, so might as well use it. Will be posting backlog now

Given the [gestures vaguely at everything], I do understand the sentiment of "we stopped too soon after Appomattox, we should have hanged everyone in the CSA." But that sentiment is the product of a large amount of hindsight from people who weren't alive at the time.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

“Oh, they’re all equally bad” is a lie that benefits the worst acting members of the group being discussed. “All politicians are corrupt,” “all places are equally bigoted,” etc. Pretending virtue doesn’t exist benefits vice.
