Wad Subliterate had the best performance on The Fishin Musician besides Wendy O and The Plasmatics.

Very odd for someone who talks so fashy all the time to come out against one of the most zealous cryptonazi subcultures out there.

Real weird for someone who talks so fashy to speak against one of the biggest cryptonazi subcultures out there.

Nice to see y'all doing the classics.

"Jeff E asks the question "What if the Great Gatsby was a predator & pimp?" and it has *everything* politicians, scientists, celebs, royals, mysterius piles of money, reporters as collaborators in a perfect metaphor & reality of 21st C. capitalism as a vast pit of abusers."

But the larger issue, as others have pointed out is that thread was focused on workers who weren't the ones who caved, rather than the Senators who did.

And yes the reply is poor as most people know fewer people well enough to know their jobs than one thinks and there are all sorts of big demographics which one can not know by chance, and a better argument is the majority of us are impacted by federal workers & if the money they spend.

I think the generalized yahoo majority who buy anti-government BS has long been an at best exaggerated narrative rooted in how the right reflexively claims the consesus to intimidate the opposition, like Nixon's silent majority fabulism. Helped by media which will always amplify that view.

And then the person who started thay debate did so in the nastiness way possible, not only implying workers were fine with caving but asserting the general populace is too shallow to grasp the idea of civil service as good which is absurd.

A debate over if paying federal workers as the reason to cave was good optics is toxic because it validates the fiction workers are to blame for sacrificing the ACA or other terrible compromises. At most a union leader collaborated on that BS. Meanwhile all the rank and file did was worry about pay.

I think "know" doesn't mean friend of family but encountering federal workers as humans & there's the post office and parks plus every state & other jobs the federal budget funds.

But really that exchange was toxic as Federal Workers didn't demand Dems cave - they're being used as an excise.

Once again, Dorothy Thompson's Who Goes Nazi? describes so much of the media, except, alas, maybe the getting purged part.

On the upside, I get to use this meme.

As Amazon likely also owns the rights to Air Bud you've got some major corporate synergy right there.

Quote bots that make it seem like a writer or, even better, a book is out there shitposting or obliquely addressing personal stuff or current events is such a simple trick but works on me all the time.
