I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation!

First of all, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Secondly, I don’t think that applies here.

RFK Jr. isn’t right about some things— he *was* right about 1 thing a long time ago; & that’s environmental protection.

See: Clean Water Act enforcement, NRDC support, NYC Watershed agreement, etc.

& YouTube’s algorithm over the past 8-10 years accelerated the spread’s scope & intensity.

Flat earth’s often a gateway conspiracy to more insidious ones: 9/11, QAnon, COVID— and, yes, anti-vax.

While anti-vax poses an immediate threat, we also can’t ignore what kickstarts the pipeline.

While I understand what you mean when you say flat earth isn’t hurting anyone, that would have been a more accurate opinion 20+ years ago.

It used to just be a zany idea that a few people had, like the moon landing being faked, but the internet changed that

What does that mean, “the ideology that you believe in”?

Ideologies are connected to agendas. What is the agenda in allowing trans people to exist?

There isn’t any.

I can, however, think of multiple agendas for denying their existence.

I’m assuming this is a joke? In which case, it’s funny (no sarcasm) but the conversations in the thread below tells me it was meant in seriousness, in which case, there’s an interesting discussion to be had.

First time I’m coming across your account but hey, I’ll stew with you.

It’s fucked up but not surprising.
Walz is a centrist. He’s also an old school Democrat.

Not the best combination when you’re going up against fascism.

They’re not fine with it.

They act like they’re fine with it because:

1. They know it’s just a thought experiment and there is no real risk on their part.

and/or

2. They see it as simply deferred payment and they’ll collect it at the end.

Of course it is— the picture you’re showing us right here is flat. If the world isn’t flat, then how do you explain maps? 😔

Really is a false advertising lawsuit waiting to happen.

Oh, hell.

I’m so tired.

Well, not with *that* attitude 🙄

I believe the legal jargon goes something like:

Boom! You’ve just been SLAPP’ed 😎

More back than that.

The Southern Strategy was being used in the 1960s.

It never stopped. They just got better at hiding it.

Bannon uses the phrase “Nationalist” here. For the uninitiated, he doesn’t mean someone who takes pride in their country a.k.a nationalism. He means someone who takes pride in being white, as in “white nationalist”.

Supremacists.
Neo-Nazis.
The Klan.

And he said this at a young Republican event.

Democrats, this is, in part, why you lost the election. I’ve seen less than a handful of takes from high level Dems since Thompson’s death that actually seem connected to the electorate.

It’s been 13 days since he was killed. Surely you’ve had enough time to read the room.
