Fun fact: the Oath Keepers are made up largely of military or ex military and their central premise is that the military should disobey unlawful orders. And yet Trump not only doesn't want to kill them for expressing that view, but has actively supported them. How curious.

A new argument on Facebook regarding Democrats who pointed out the fact that soldiers shouldn't obey UNLAWFUL orders: it makes Americans divided and angry when they say that, so it's treason. The party of 4chan cares about making people angry? Since when?

In light of several Democratic members of the military/intelligence releasing a video reminding said agencies they can refuse to obey unlawful orders, Republicans are calling for arrest. The most charitable interpretation of their cries is that Democrats are dog whistling with "unlawful".

Looks like there's an attempted color revolution in Mexico going on.

I've seen quite a few conservatives promote Haidt's "The Righteous Mind" as proof that conservatives understand liberals more than the reverse, but I've not seen any real responses to that.

Finally beat Sister Friede. Using an Intelligence build meant my usual spells were bad, but I got her using her own lackeys sword, since she's weak to Dark for some reason.

How do I feel about Cheney dying? I'm sure the Democratic Party feels sad. Most on the left are happy. Me? I just...... don't feel anything.

Someone on Facebook just posted an image of the Wikipedia article on George Floyd compared to the Grokipedia one, claiming the latter was more nuanced and not pushing ideologies. Grokipedia made sure to list every bad thing Floyd had ever done, despite little of it being relevant to the case.

How appropriate that Dungeons and Dragons is going to be releasing a Dark Sun book in the near future. Dark Sun's premise is that the use of magic is inherently harmful to the world and is killing their planet, but a handful of wizard kings still proudly use magic. Elon Musk?

Cal Thomas wrote in his latest column that Trump can't have aspirations towards kingship because of various other presidents in our nation's history. A response:
- he starts with John Adams and the Alien Sedition Acts. Every single time I've heard those mentioned, it was in a negative light.

According to Lugbill, I have a total of 40 reward points. I am "only" 210 points away from a $5 reward! This is the same Lugbill that Vivek Ramaswamy recently gave a speech at. Small world.

For me, the red flag with Platner isn't the fact that he at one point had an "edgy" tattoo. There's an entire genre of Youtube videos called "How I left the alt right", after all. No, the red flag is that this is being discovered rather than him simply coming clean well in advance.

In light of Republicans using the latest shooting to call for the mass arrest of all trans people and mandatory conversion therapy, this video might be useful to get out there. A lot of people hear "conversion therapy" and think of electric shocks, and that would probably happen.

A rightwinger on YouTube, Matthew Christiansen, tried to debunk the stat about rightwingers causing more violence. His fans think the Minnesota shooter was left wing.

The columnists in my conservative small town paper are still lying and saying Trump didn't get Kimmel fired even though he bragged about it.

As much as I've seen people here refusing to praise Charlie Kirk after his murder, I've not seen much praise for the gunman. Meanwhile, Trump openly said that rightwing extremists simply want law and order.

Larry Elder published a column saying that calling Republicans fascists leads to murder. He makes no mention of prominent conservatives like Tucker Carlson pushing the Great Replacement Theory, which has killed far more people than just Charlie Kirk.

So, conservatives are claiming en masse that all the hatred in America exclusively comes from the Left. I guess Trump spreading blood libel about legal refugees in Ohio that our Republican governor condemned had no vitriol whatsoever.

A lot of conservatives are gushing over Kirk's wife forgiving Robinson, and it strikes me as shallow virtue signaling. Presumably, she thinks he should get the death penalty, as do I, so how exactly is she forgiving him?

I can explain the term "the woke right." The logic:

1) I denounced "wokeness" for years, proclaiming it dire threat to free speech, a civilizational danger
2) This fascism I was downplaying while focused on wokeness seems actually bad
3) Since I am by definition never wrong, the fascism is wokeness

Christine Flowers published a column in my local paper in which she complained about people who celebrated Kirk's death. I don't mind this so much, but she emphasized that "celebrate Kirk's death" also means anyone who says "I don't support his death, BUT", and then fails to mourn him.

Gad Saad is claiming an Islamic takeover of America is imminent. SCOTUS just ruled Trump can arrest people for being brown, but sure buddy.

Supposedly, Project Veritas just "caught" the Deep State saying they would refuse to give RFK data. If they were simply hiding data, yes, I understand the scandal. But giving any MAGA sole custody of data? No. They can't be trusted.

A far right Youtuber is angry that some on the left are accusing the Minnesota shooter of being a false flag.

Are accusations of false flags evil? Are they? Fucking ARE THEY!?!?!?
