Don't voices like destiny and Hasan kinda legitimatize voices like asmongold in the political space by covering their political content?

When you say “Elon Musk has a net worth of $750 billion” that means different things to different people
Elon Musk makes $750 billion per year
Elon Musk has $750 billion in his checking / savings accounts
Elon Musk owns several companies which collectively are worth $750 billion
I am not sure that the third option is even the most common take
Most people are dumb enough to believe its all liquidity. I'm sure he has a few billion in accounts somewhere to immediately access.

Got no work done today. And now it's time for bed. Makes you think.
Sometimes, with MAGA people, I feel like Marge in that scene from Fargo where she’s talking to Gaear and she says, “I just don’t understand it.”
I just want to ask these people. Has all this madness been worth it? The riots, the chaos, the bungled leadership, the international humiliation, the threats against our allies, the military occupation of cities, the gutting of the social safety net, the cruelty, the severed families, on and on. Was it all worth it? Just to get at certain groups of people you don’t like for no reason?
I just don’t understand it.

Bro that would suck if MAGAs got cyberbullied in Austin Ayers’ Discord server that you can easily find by Googling “Austin Ayers Discord server”
Absolutely crazy where I am a year on from getting cheated on.
Im tempted to dig up my last posts on my old account becuse i remember them being absolutely miserable and bleak and so toxically negative especially in the run up to the inauguration i had to eat a pretty fat ban. In my defense I'd been drunk basically every single day for about 2 months and the kamala harris loss and the cheating discovery happened in the same week.
I can't remember when it stopped hurting but i can remember when it started to get better. I was about to stalk her social media again which i had done every single day after the event, despite knowing I shouldn't and feeling unable to stop, and suddenly remembered, of all things, Joshua Graham.
"I act like these wild fires never stop burning. But I'm the one starting them. Even now I still feel the pain, it may always be a part of me
but not today."
And closed the app. And the next day i procrastinated stalking her until i forgot to do it. And the next day. And the next day... until i stopped thinking about her entirely and finally made a full recovery.
Proud of you king
Dilemma posed on the Ezra Klein show
Is it better to go to the UN and lie like George Bush and Colin Powell did to justify Iraq or just skip the lying to the UN altogether like Trump and Venezuela
I think the lying is worse. Lying is the most corrosive force to the social fabric and undermines the trust that institutions need to survive.
Better for whom? Realpolitik answer is obvs the first one
For America’s credibility and the post World War 2 order of things
I’m not saying either is a good choice, his guest seems to feel lying to the UN means you still consider them a relevant institution
Which…. I don’t even know what the fuck that means
As opposed to what? A bank robber not acknowledging the police exist?
You can get away with a lot if you look like you're following the rules or are on the same team.
Two people rob a bank. One person works there and cashes a fraudulent check deposited by an accomplice.
The other goes in with a gun and mask.
Which one do you think the other bank employees will feel more threatened by?
I suppose that’s true, I didn’t see it that way
How about option C: Pick your wars more wisely, then build an international consensus around it.
That’s not a dilemma you don’t have to do either of those things
Can we get some new fucking leadership?

The guy spent an entire campaign event swaying to music like he didn't know where he was, and people still voted for him
See a decade ago with Woke 1.0 we'd be tone policing this shit for fatphobia.
With Woke 2.0 we understand how to roast these fascists properly.
Jd Vance's latest post has a lib account just calling him a F*ggot with a shit ton of likes.
The mistake woke 1.0 made was writing off Chan culture entirely. 4chan is a pit but it also has a weirdly high level of influence
We needed to understand the difference between actual threats to marginalize groups and language policing to such an extent it just makes people lose interest in the entire project.
I don't think Woke 2.0 will fall into the same trap.
The Johnny Bravo “I’m straight so whatever makes my dick hard is a woman f*****t” image has probably convinced a few people that trans women are women
Look, whatever it takes tbh.
Being woke is being evidence based. 😎

Trillion dollar fucking military and we might strike too late to seriously help the protesters (if at all)
We moved everything to Venezuela
Nah we've got plenty of hardware in the Mid East to do whatever we want
The carrier groups are all gone. We only have land assets and, even though they’d do fine on offense, the concern is protecting US bases and personnel from retaliatory strikes
That's what the Patriots are for, presumably.
We don’t have enough Patriots if Iran were to launch a massive drone wave like they did against Israel. We used ship-based missiles and planes to assist
It was more important to extort a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump than to help the Iranian people finally throw off their oppressors.
I hate this fucking country.
Good for Greenland, at least.

I believe it
He’s just like me
Even if it isn't true, the fact that I could believe it says a lot about society.
instant ramen doesn't taste the same anymore
I don’t think we should be trying to ruin a 54-year-old centibillionaire kid’s life just because he said some silly things online hours and hours ago. This kind of witch hunt and refusal to forgive people who make mistakes is so corrosive. Like all of us, he’s learned a lot from his past and will keep learning more. It’s called the human condition.
Did you mean person of means?

You guys really gotta stop demanding the mods ban Jared Polis from the sub lmfao. You do not want to effect any real change here, you want to CrabRave.gif under the announcement poast because it'll make you feel slightly better for 4 minutes. There aren't many sitting governors that visit subreddits regularly, he's not getting banned lmfao
Are you really laughing your fucking ass off
While looking at a picture of your face actually, yeah lmfao
That's interesting because I recently had my face replaced with a mirror
Shit.
Well played.
Of course it’s not going to effect any real change to ban a governor from a subreddit. I want them to do it out of sheer spite. That’s literally the only reason, and given that it matters basically zero in terms of “real change” either way, it’s a good reason
Spite isn't even a good reason here. Leaving a flaming bag of dog turds on his front porch is something you do out of spite. He is a governor, he will not care if he can't post here anymore lmfao
He apparently cares enough when he came here posting his dogshit opinions on MAHA and how RFK Jr might be right. That is more than enough.
He's the sitting governor of a state with ~5 million people and will either find something more productive to do or something as equally as unproductive as poasting here occasionally
Damn you Governor Polish

Which Trump admin person is most likely to be a persona by Roger from American Dad? My money is on Kristi Noem
Donald Trump
Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the female Hispanic secretary of Labor. Roger would be at his wackiest playing someone who is a Latina pro labor republican, which would be the craziest member of any previous republican administration, but is pissed that his crazy ideas are now milquetoast compared to everyone else in the administration.
Obviously RFK and it's not even close
The Nobel prizes are a really impressive example of soft power

Within the week.
AP: Iran’s parliament met Sunday to discuss the ongoing protests shaking the nation, with lawmakers at one point rushing to the front of the assembly to chant: “Death to America!”
You did this to yourselves y'all but might as well play the hits
Death to America!
“Boo, get better material!”
shuffling through card after card of “Death to America”
I need some good foreign policy analysis about the impact of military action against Venezuela and Iran and what liberal foreign policy leaders can learn from it. Perhaps America went far too passive in confronting global dictators following the disaster of nation building, and something like R2P should return as a centerpiece of Democratic foreign policy.
There is almost zero foreign policy difference between republicans and democrats

I am not a “knife guy” by any means but I bought my brother in law a really nice pocketknife to replace his current one and I became jealous of it and want one too
I feel like I should be talked out of this
Fully buy into the idea that a nice utility knife can make you a lot safer compared to trying to work with cheap knives or scissors.
Makes sense. I previously used to carry a multitool which I thought was much more useful, but I kept losing them. I used to think a bigger knife was stupid, but I’m starting to think that a relatively large one makes sense just because it’s easier to keep track of
I have a pretty large buck knife I’ll use a lot for around the house chores. Hard to lose, and can cut through pretty much anything.
What did you get him ?
He carries a Craftsman knife around all the time now and so I asked his wife for the approximate size of it and got him a considerably nicer Benchmade knife that is pretty equivalent
Getting into baseball now as a Chicago cubs fan and man... feeling genuine excitement waiting for the season to start is a new but addicting feeling in all honestly. This is what sports is all about ain't it?
Yes and then you'll lose an elimination playoff game on a botched throw to second undoing 162 games of work and start all over again
JK Rowling would actually be in favor of the current Iranian regime but they perform SRS on people and that was what changed her mind.

Out of curiosity, who said this?
It's from a series of voicemails left to Austin Ayers. See https://xcancel.com/electionsjoe/status/2010099685160067267
Damn. Dark woke indeed. It’s amazing how these people think that they can simply be utterly vile to others for 11 years and not expect an in-kind response. Good on these callers, though Ayers is an unbridled fuckwad for doxing them.
Thank you for the reply!
Wow, can’t believe Gavin Newsom tweeted this
Give him another month.
I especially enjoyed the caller who referred to Austin as a "no-neck man-ape looking piece of shit".
Honestly I think the first one might have been the best. Goading him into committing suicide-by-ICE.
To other Americans in here--what are you going to do if Donnie Boy actually tries to grab Greenland? Because, genuinely, I think it's not unlikely at this point. He's gotten a taste of "successful" imperialism, and Miller, who's probably the most powerful member of his circle at this point, obviously wants to.
I don't have an answer yet myself beyond some vague, "Protest", because, frankly, my "red line" was "they rig the midterms", and I was not expecting to have to plan for the eventuality of the US genuinely attacking the rest of the West.
I'm gonna find the nearest army depot and just park my car in front of it and hope it impedes something by one millisecond at least.
Nothing
I’m worried about the secret police executing people

Fuck billionaires for giving doomsday bunkers a bad name. When I was five, I presented my parents with a plan to live in an abandoned gold mine near us in the event of nuclear war. I'm not letting them take this from me.

Fucking amateurs. When you have an abandoned mine with miles of tunnels and access to gigawatts of geo-thermal, anything is possible!
Trump isn't going to occupy Greenland bc that would require an attention span greater than 24 hours.
He'll do in-and-out shit like in Venezuela, but he has no idea what an invasion actually even means, nor can he be bothered to find out.
It's wild because the US military DOES occupy Greenland. We have a MASSIVE military base there and can basically build anything we want, anywhere. If China or Russia attacks Greenland we have a NATO treaty obligation to defend it, but so does all of Europe.
It's literally "Trump wants to make the map look bigger." That's it. That third-grade impulse is worth flushing NATO down the fucking drain.
God damnit the French were right.

Earworm is such a strange name for having music playing inside your brain.
Like, when I call something a brainworm the gross imagery of parasites inside the brain is something I think is appropriate, but it the idea of something wriggling under the flesh in the ear canal and poking out through holes is way too repulsive to be associated with a catchy tune.
When I was a kid, earwigs would freak me the fuck out because I heard they'd crawl into your ears and lay eggs in your brain or some shit.
It’s suppose to sound “infectious”
The song is so catchy it’s laying eggs in your brain

If this is true, then for once, I would like to see Trump actually not chicken out and launch strikes in Iran. Have him give the order and let the military leadership do its job. Let him focus on something other than fucking Greenland.
Again, that’s if this is true
I’d buy that US airstrikes would help the protest movement. Idk if I buy the protest movement self sustaining itself at the casualties they are experiencing without outside support.

The US has no carrier groups in the region as a result of the Venezuela buildup.
Why do we need a carrier group. We have bases in uae and Saudi Arabia etc
I don’t think a carrier group per se is needed. More so it reflects how a lot of military assets that could be available for Iran are currently elsewhere.
Probably an over-abundance of caution
Military doesn't want to do it half-ass
I don't quite think this makes sense but I don't know enough to fully dispute it. We have our full suite of planes (maybe not b-2s but those should not be needed rn) in the area. F-22s are stationed in the UAE right now. I don't know what a carrier adds
