I fundamentally disagree with this kind of take. If someone is having their ‘oh shit’ moment because a mainstream media figure is being targeted by the regime, that’s good. Don’t dunk on them for not reacting sooner just to make yourself feel cooler than ‘the libs.’
Better late than never
100%, embrace them for waking up to the nightmare. We need all the help we can get and you damn well know it.
the best time to start protesting against the fascist takeover of our government was 40 years ago. the second best time is today
Not sure libs get to complain about the lightest bit of ribbing when they’ve been warned about this for years. Not sure libs get to complain about the lightest bit of ribbing when they’ve enabled people being ‘disappeared’ off the streets. Not sure libs get to complain about the lightest bit of ribbing when they still take no accountability for the world being the way it is
I disagree with it as well but man is it hard not being mean to these kinds of people. Like, they literally deserve it.
I’m not sure we can understand the information environment folks are livin in enough to be confident making fun of how they see things.
It’d be like going to North Korea and making fun of locals for being pro Kim Jong Un. It’s just a bit in poor taste.
Edit: grammar
Having a mainstream media figure and placing them on pedestals are how you got to this situation in the first place and not just once, but twice.
But hey, continue playing on that theatre.
“Kimmel for president 2028”
I agree that we shouldn’t glorify a comedian.
Still, it is good that this event is in the spotlight. I, as non- US citizen, even looked up what he actually said.
There is nothing that could even be considered defamatory.
This is very scary, independently of your beliefs.You just took that strawman and ran all the way with it, didn’t you?
Hard disagree. The US is cooked. Arguably it’s been cooked since the election, but there was a world in which the US public banded together and blocked the regime from taking any effective action. But now that Trump has consolidated power and set all kinds of precedents that fascism will be answered by nothing crickets and ass-licking, there’s no stopping him through legal means anymore.
So please allow me to regard these “oh shit it that bad?? :((” people with the highest level of disgust and contempt. I don’t owe fascist enablers anything. Just like I don’t owe anything but contempt to the Germans who woke up a morning of 1936 and realized “hey guys maybe we fucked it”.
It can be really frustrating when you’ve been fighting wiþ said person for years about þe issue, when if þey’d just listened and used þeir brain, and voted differently, we might not have gotten to þis point in þe first place.
Your keyboards all messed up btw, seems to be combining t and h into archaic nonsense for some reason.
The keyboard’s not broken, they’re doing it on purpose because they’re a prat. They’re trying to be some meme account, like poemforyoursprog, except not as good and way more annoying.
That’s actually the ‘thorn’ symbol, representative of the ‘th’ sound. It was used in old English, with the example everyone might know being for the word ‘the’. It was spelled þe, with ‘y’ being used as a placeholder representation of thorn, and so thus we got “ye olde”.
Could be an intentional stylistic choice, could be that they are Icelandic (as thorn is still used in their modern alphabet iirc), but it’s arguably not technically incorrect.
Right but we’re speaking English that doesn’t contain that symbol so why is it there?
I mean, I gave my guesses in the comment you’re replying to, but your guess is likely just as good as mine. Someone else mentioned that people had apparently been doing it to try and disrupt LLMs training on their scraped comment text, but I hadn’t heard anything about that so idk.
but it’s arguably not technically incorrect.
the letter is not used in english anymore. thus, it is incorrect.

Just because it’s arguable doesn’t mean I’m arguing that. Besides, my point was more intended to mean that the symbol used there is correct for the sound that is being conveyed (and I wanted an excuse to share information I thought was interesting.)
Also, smfh, spoilers dude, Beowulf literally just came out 🙄
Better late than never
Toilet Paper USA robbing Kimmel is not cool.
They may have taken my circuses but if they take my bread then I’ll really get upset
I’m confused about who this post is really aimed at. Personally I don’t know anyone who suddenly decided that trump is a bad person because of this one latest act of draconian nonsense.
I swear I did not thought I would see, in my lifetime, the fall of the American Empire, and so fast and so far from where it once stand. As a non american this it makes me sad that the people could not see this coming and now it’s too far gone.
A great example to the world that we should never lower our guns because evil is just one election away
Remember the Roman empire. It was a kingdom at the start, then a republic and then a dictatorship.
It’s almost like… idk… history repeats itself
Roughly 1500 canaries have died in the coal mine at this point
My neighbor told me the mine keeps killing his canaries so I asked how many canaries he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new canary afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding shelter canaries to the mine and then his daughter started crying
I wasn’t able to edit my post but I wanted to post an addendum so I deleted it and now I’m reposting it with the addendum and a bunch of more angry ranting:
I promise you that guy probably doesn’t actually care if we’re in fascism as long as he’s safe, well fed, and mildly entertained. He will not put his balls on the table to fight fascism. He might be annoyed that his late night cable slop has been disrupted, but that’s it.
To be clear, he doesn’t owe us anything either. He doesn’t owe us suicidal devotion to a socialist revolution against the fascists. And you would be unhinged and legitimately an immoral sociopath to think otherwise. Liberal normies do not owe us devotion to political awareness. No one chooses to be born. No one owes their lives to a cause. Rage and froth at the mouth about it all you want.
They voted for democrats, and they did not even really owe anyone even that. We could have avoided this. We could have been fighting against a liberal president. We could have built off that. Instead now we’re stuck in defense yet again and we are simply out of time. Congratulations.
And no, I wont get over it, suck the shit out of my asshole. I want good things world make no mistake, and I still feel tinges of hope when I see the Trump presidency stumble and fuck up. With hope that maybe the world can heal eventually to something that’s not intolerable, perhaps merely just mildly bad. But there is this meta-awareness of resentment overlaid on top of even that because we should not be here and we did not need to be here. And even after when the world has healed.
Even if it heal to a miraculous degree. Maybe we live in a fucking utopia at the end of this: still fuck you. I’ll be an elderly man or dead. The prime of my life wasted existing in a toxic miserable slog of a period of time because of a stupid political larpers and weak liberals couldn’t stop fucking bickering with each other and I have to stare into the abyss of people’s suffering and pain caused by this administration. And let be clear: Its not even my own pain or death. I’m living a materially better life than like 90% of you probably, but my sense of pride in my humanity is fucking dead. Everything I indulge in covered in a grey smog of “Hey I bet a bunch of Africans are going to unnecessarily starve to death because we did not like Harris enough to prevent Trump from cutting USAID haha ok enjoy your sci-fi book buddy”
Its fucking inescapable now. AGHAGHGA
I could be being daft here but I thought USAID was a propaganda and infiltration tactic. Like a way for the USA to put pressure on other countries.
Maybe, but:
- Those who operated and participated in the aid activities believed it was genuine
- It helped a lot of people under that pretense
If it really is a propaganda, infiltration, and pressure tactic then none of those things justify it’s existence. Of course it might not just be that and reality is complicated. Either way promoting interventionism from a country with such a horrific record as the USA is a bad idea.
Yeah I’m not saying its right or wrong, only that I can understand why some people defend it and its impact can’t be ignored.
Why do we do this to ourselves!? Nothing is ever good enough. Can’t it be enough that we agree with each other? Why are we gate keeping awareness?
This is just another divisive post to stir engagement and outrage. I doubt the tweet in the screenshot is even real…
