@TheRealJChubby @cosmepolitics Because if they retired, they would have to actually try to live in the world they created.

God damn, why are these people so against retiring?

@AnaKasparian "Hch hchah genocide hche hche war crimes " "Hahahahaha"

Our legacy media, which covers for this depravity while excoriating anyone who sheds light on it, is a disgrace.

@Mayoisspicyy @LePapillonBlu2 Outlook not so good.

I like 99.9% sure that Trump is using a Magic 8 Ball to decide foreign policy.

@loljezza @AyesuhPol @VigilantFox History is full of folks that tried to ban alcohol... Lots of bullets.

@AyesuhPol @VigilantFox and how many deaths due to alcohol? kinda hypocritical

What’s happening in the UK has Bill Maher realizing just how “f*cked up” the country has become. “Every time I think this country’s too woke, I look at what’s going on in your country, and I’m like, ‘Wow, these people are really f*cked up.’” “How did England get so leftist?” The UK is now banning the sale of cigarettes to anyone born after 2009… EVER. That means if it’s the year 2040, and you’re 30 years old because you were born in 2010, you still can’t buy cigarettes. It might sound like a good thing to some, but Maher can see it’s just another wing of the nanny state deciding what you can or can’t do as an adult. “It’s illegal to buy cigarettes. Why? I mean, don’t people get to make their own mistakes? Don’t we get to do what we want to do? I mean, you’re an adult, and you can’t have a cigarette if you want?” Maher’s British guest suddenly got defensive when he pointed out how the United Arab Emirates paused government scholarships for students wanting to study in the UK, citing fears they could become “radicalized” over there. “Fake news,” she said. “This idea London is a no-go zone… people walking around with the Sharia law… A lot of that’s whipped up.” “Two Jews did get stabbed this week,” Maher fired back. This is a two-minute exchange worth watching.

@VigilantFox Jews feel less safe? How does Lebanon feel?

@ProudSocialist Money, stupid. Make single income possible again, and we're good.

Ben Sasse: “We stopped making babies.” Nobody can afford to because politicians in both parties sold us out to corporations. Why would anyone bring a baby into a corrupt world that values profits more than human life? Make a better world and people will make babies again!

@AmmarIrl Ok, fuck cops, but seriously, these people racing up and down the roads in their toys can fuck off too.

The reason why most bike riders run

@Awk20000 Hoarder attic Jesus said so, so I guess it must be true...

Asmongold warns of “as*as*ination culture” escalating in rare solo YouTube video "It's bad now and it's gonna get a whole lot worse..this has been escalating..ever since BLM, that's whenever being a crazy ret*rd became the socially acceptable thing to do" "Ppl have socially normalized the act of bad behavior, violence, aggression..and they've done so with a righteous indignation that has enabled them to justify..as being heroes in their own story..we can't live in a society like this" "I think that we have culturally not been willing to put our foot down w these f'in freaks..these violent psychotic freaks..that need to be put in a mental institution and locked up indefinitely" "Ur not gonna have the communist revolution..complete hubris and bravado..like this is gonna be anything other than a complete crime against humanity"

@KweenInYellow God damnit, how old am I?!? I'm agreeing with Tucker!?!?? What the fuck!

Am I crazy or is the New York Times podcast lady actually trying to argue that insulting Jewish people is worse than the mass murder of children?

@stanrlong @draloneboy Yeah, you're Republican... He got brain damage and now he's Republican too... Coincidence?

Wow. Didn’t really expect so many comments on this post. I regularly post supportive comments about John Fetterman because I truly admire his independence. I don’t agree with him on everything, I didn’t vote for him but wish I had, I’m not affiliated with Israel but I do have Jewish family and friends, I’m a Republican but open to ticket splitting, i disagree with the Iran operation. Anyway, I’m an American, Pennsylvanian, union member, and voter. Peace… please!

John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.

@draloneboy I just love how he literally got brain damage and became Republican.

@EdKrassen So the GOP is going for yet another unqualified TV personality... neato

Tucker Carlson is jumping in the odds to be the GOP nominee in 2028 because Republicans are abandoning Trumpism. There is no other explanation in my mind.

@Adigears @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Examples of allegory in film. Matrix is even list... and not for the reasons you're stating.

@vivisectadam @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics like it doesn't even matter that much its just ur missing out on like an entire level of storytelling

When you admit you don’t know what The Matrix is about…

@Adigears @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Rewriting your own history isn't allegory.

@vivisectadam @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics You really REALLY don't get allegory and its really sad that you can't, its like not understanding metaphor. I hope you grow the skill even if you still don't get trans people or whatever.

@Adigears @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Sorry. Not buying it. As I've said before, have Mr. Anderson wake up as Trinity, you've got a deal. Not only is this not a trans film, I would argue all gay and nonbinary are criminally underrepresented. I recommend Predestination.

@vivisectadam @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Within the context of the movie its waking up from the matrix. Within the trans allegory its realizing oneself is trans. Both have the same effect on the "protagonist" who both are trying to understand what is "real" and making attempts to reach becoming "real".

@Adigears @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Go for it.

@vivisectadam @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Do you want me to explain to you how it is an allegory for the trans experience?

@Adigears @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics You can't just remake the Terminator and then announce it's an allegory a decade later. Retroactively adding context that wasn't in the original film isn't allegory.

@vivisectadam @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics thats what the ALLEGORY is for!!!!

@Adigears @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Like I said, there's some great films on the subject, Matrix was never fuckin one of them. Heteronormative dude, learns kung fu, fights robots, has a heteronormative relationship with some straight white lady. There was 1 queer in the film, and she got two lines.

@vivisectadam @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics Ok well you heard about it now. Congratulations! Isn't learning about the wide and varied experiences of the human species fun?

@Adigears @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics It's a beat for beat ripoff of the Terminator, then a decade later when they transitioned, they retroactively made it all about that. I was there in the theater every weekend with a huge group of college students, picking apart the film for months. Trans subject never came up.

@vivisectadam @_celia_bedelia_ @cosmepolitics You really can't like understand allegory at all can you, everything has to be as close to literal as possible to convey anything to you.
