@_kaboosky @Dankuser2024 @ExistentialEnso Welcome to politics.

@Dankuser2024 @ExistentialEnso That’s deception

This needs to be the end of populism. I'm sorry if you think being a subject matter expert is for fags or whatever, but we need people in positions of power who know what they're doing

@Dankuser2024 @ExistentialEnso My ideology in a nutshell. FDR, Lula, Biden even, there's a fair amount of examples out there.

@ExistentialEnso What about invoking the aesthetics of populism to get elected but governing as a technocrat?

I'm a leftist but I hate the modern left - "anti-imperialists" but support Russia - "Humanists" but turn a blind eye to many genocides - Support oppressive ideologies in the name of "inclusivity" - "Everybody is a fascist" - Identity politics replacing class war 🫤

@carpathianr1dge @Prominent_Bryan Further, there have been some outstanding accomplishments overseen by this government and given the context, I think the good outweighs the bad. The same problems have been affecting most countries. We should have foreseen this but we didn't. We can only move forward.

@carpathianr1dge @Prominent_Bryan The main error was the government never kept up on housing supply (especially public housing) and hiring doctors and nurses to ease the burden on Medicare. Every government has failed to do that for decades. It is a failure of the government but it's not unique to them.

This is a party that would have been official opposition if Singh had stopped saving the Trudeau government in fall 2024 Yet now this party has a CEILING below 20% in all major cities Singh killed this party

@UnholyVarangian @LyxPar @AstralAromance @imagesaicouldnt I have an interest in fascism and totalitarianism but I don't go around wearing a swastika pin or a fasces pin. It gives people the wrong idea.

@LyxPar @AstralAromance @ThatPoliGeek @imagesaicouldnt I'm sure every autistic person with a history interest is secretly a political extremist. Neurotypicals really are Nazis in disguise.

@UnholyVarangian @AstralAromance @imagesaicouldnt Sorry sunshine but being interested in an explicitly political phenomenon makes not being political impossible.

@AstralAromance @ThatPoliGeek @imagesaicouldnt Not every autistic person is political, though. I really hate that people try to inject individual political affiliations into interests. Sometimes we just really like knowing a lot about a topic without actually having a biased or partisan opinion, mate.

@AstralAromance @UnholyVarangian @imagesaicouldnt I assumed that's what you meant 😅

@UnholyVarangian @ThatPoliGeek @imagesaicouldnt I would NOT*

@retaliationpact @imagesaicouldnt That's hilarious because I think HR is a useless industry. #DefundHR

@ThatPoliGeek @imagesaicouldnt No spirit left in you at all, just an HR approved toothless liberal caricature.

@Painefulfacts @captgouda24 Idk about him but I love doing exactly that. It's a wonderful feeling knowing people are triggered by your arguments but can't dispute the facts provided.

@captgouda24 I feel like you get some sort of sick pseudosexual pleasure out of saying things that you can justify factually but nonetheless are emotionally uncomfortable

When I have children, I do not want them to be genetically mine. Instead, I will have someone better than me be the sperm donor. My reasoning here: nicholasdecker.substack.com/p/why-my-child…

@AmerPhilo2025 I agree. Universal suffrage is why the right is so good at winning elections. It's much easier to appeal to the masses' prejudices and superstitions than it is to appeal to reason, justice and evidence. At the very least there needs to be mandatory civics testing.

"Allowing virtually every citizen to vote has been a catastrophic disaster for the United States. We have allowed illiterate, uneducated citizens to hold hostage the world’s largest economy, most powerful military, and a robust intellectual culture. It has decimated the concept of civitas and allowed powerful actors with bad intentions to influence those who cannot think for themselves. To restore the United States, we must seriously consider ending universal suffrage." Read more below. ‍ ‍

@actsmaniac @Alejandro_SocEU Being pro-life, beating up protesters and literally killing people with ruthless austerity is absolutely far-right.

@Alejandro_SocEU cutting spending and dismantling peronism is not far-right

Carney and Milei up so high show that sensible market-liberal governance can still win hearts and minds hope, optimism and economic expertise will win

@actsmaniac @Alejandro_SocEU Milei's no liberal, he's a conservative libertarian. A right-wing extremist.

@Alejandro_SocEU both are from the liberal political tradition and doing economic reforms

@AutisticFun01 @J4n1X69 @imagesaicouldnt I'm autistic as well. 100% agree.

@J4n1X69 @ThatPoliGeek @imagesaicouldnt I'm autistic and literally in what world would you think going outside with a Confederate flag pin is a good idea? If you can't understand that wearing a political flag will make people assume you support that movement then autism is not the only thing going on.

A bartender in Galveston, Texas was arrested for serving a drunk customer who killed someone. She makes $25 an hour. A federal judge makes $236,000 a year and has absolute legal immunity for every decision on the bench, including releasing violent offenders who kill again. 42 states have dram shop laws. The bartender’s causation chain has two links: pour drink, person crashes. Exposed window? Sometimes three hours. She can be charged with criminal negligence, sued in civil court, and lose her livelihood. All for failing to eyeball whether a guy at a crowded bar was too drunk for one more round. The judge has a pre-sentencing report, a criminal history score, a risk assessment algorithm, victim impact statements, and a prosecutor arguing the case in front of them. Every tool the system can produce. And when they get it wrong? Nothing. Absolute judicial immunity, codified since Bradley v. Fisher in 1871, means a judge cannot be sued for any act performed in judicial capacity. How absolute? In 1978, the Supreme Court ruled in Stump v. Sparkman that a judge who signed a petition to sterilize a 15-year-old girl without her knowledge or consent was fully immune. The court acknowledged the act was reprehensible. Didn’t matter. Judicial act, judicial immunity, case closed. That precedent still controls today. The recidivism data is where this gets obscene. The U.S. Sentencing Commission tracked violent offenders released in 2010 across eight years. 63.8% were rearrested. Median time to rearrest: 16 months. These numbers haven’t moved in two decades. The 2005 cohort and the 2010 cohort produced statistically identical outcomes. Judges aren’t making unpredictable calls. They’re making well-documented bets with other people’s lives, and the base rates have been published and available the entire time. The bartender gets three hours of ambiguous signals. The judge gets the full weight of the federal data apparatus. One of them can go to prison for getting it wrong. The other can’t even be named in a civil suit.

@LordOfSpuds @ismokedope7 @imagesaicouldnt No, you're talking about the woke types that play apologetics for radical Islam. I don't.

@ThatPoliGeek @ismokedope7 @imagesaicouldnt In your case, you are the majority acting against your own interest being a gay liberal

@ismokedope7 @LordOfSpuds @imagesaicouldnt Individual minorities can act against their own group interests. There were even some Jews that supported Hitler. They're traitors.

@LordOfSpuds @ThatPoliGeek @imagesaicouldnt lol ironic ajhs.org/the-brains-of-…

@BentleyShafer @CoopTory You can bitch and moan all you want, far-right lunatics calling left leaning technocrats fascists isn't new.

@ThatPoliGeek @CoopTory Fascism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." - Mussolini, the guy who coined the term. Asserting that the state knows people's needs better than they do themselves is *definitionally* fascist, you vile fucking cretin.

Good public transport is far more convenient than driving

@BentleyShafer @CoopTory This is precisely why I am a proponent of the nanny state.

@BentleyShafer @CoopTory The difference is I believe the state should serve the interests of the people. Fascists believe the people should serve the interests of the state. It's just a fact that the average person is an idiot. The average voter in the US has a 6th grade reading level.
