The Culture Wars



the burgerification of world politics


It's scary how unaware people are of their own history! Of all the countries in Europe that probably would not have been ruled by Germany if the Nazis had won Spain has to right up there!
 


"current thing" is the dumbest rw meme
Is it always a complaint that people are paying attention to the current thing when they should instead be paying attention to a specific obscure right wing obsession (usually something about Hunter Biden)?

Or is there a belief that anything that gets a lot of coverage on CNN is through such rendered an invalid thing to pay attention to?

it's mystifying, worse than the usual RW stuff.
the "time passes linearly" response to it is played out on twitter but i don't know if there's much else to say.
i *think* it started with covid and then some other frightening stories, so they said, look, NPCs are scared of a virus, now they're scared of ___, and then it just became applicable to everytime there's a news item.
 
I have no idea what that Twitter spat is about but do right wingers really call white Americans “foundational people”? That’s hilarious.
First time I've heard this phrase but they absolutely do believe that white people founded America

Isn't it a pretty niche expression that black Americans who descended from slaves (or ADOS, as they used) use to describe themselves? You know you're dealing with a hardcore fecking racist when they know the most obscure language their opponents use.
 


RWers have spent the last week publicly getting hard by thinking of RFK
 
It's a culture war, but only one side is trying to kill people.

not sure where to put this. just wanted to highlight a freak account.



 


They were also inbred and mentally stunted. Shame they didn't die in greater numbers. The world might be a better place today if they'd all fallen on their swords rather shoving the lower classes through the meat grinder.
 
It strikes me that culture wars are 95% the far right throwing a huge toddler tanty when someone suggests that perhaps persecuting and ridiculing anyone who isn't a white, middle class bloke who votes for Trump might not be a great idea.

Was this supposed to be funny?

Also why do they dislike Bill Gates so much? As far as super rich people go, he's one of the few that actually seems to dedicate a lot to objectively good causes

It's basically jealously and because he isn't Steve Jobs

Totally it's a construct to obfuscate.
 
Two more casualties of the culture war. Only one side is doing the killing, but hey, at least it gets the base riled up for the election.



feck the right-wing, and feck right-wingers.
 

That app aside, one which scans items and links them to corporations and demonstrates their supply chain, profit margin, employee status, and general interlinkage within the economy. That is an app well worth making (with revenue and taxation statistics too).

All for it, but that app would never be legally allowed to be made.
