I do dumb history jokes, occasionally pimp my angry left-ass rock songs, post tons of filthy invective at right-wing assholes. Introduced the verb "embitch" to the language, I believe, and, CW, use the c-word as if I am Scottish but am not.

Remember, if you've had a shitty week or day, you can always take a quick minute-and-a-half and watch the opening title sequence dance to Peacemaker. It won't make anything less shitty, but it could be a minute-and-a-half of dorktacular fun you might not have previously known was available to you.

I just started watching a tv comedy series that looked like it might be up my alley but then they bleeped the guy when he said "fuck" so I stopped because I am not a fucking infant who needs the godly sensibilities of 1950s fucking Victorian Inquisitors or whatever to protect me from the dread Bolshevism of swears.

I KNOW the economics of getting shows made for commercial tv, my point is that is why I don't watch commercial tv.

If fucking ANYthing, they need to put warning labels on tv shows on streaming channels that initially aired on broadcast tv because 99.9 percent of the time that means the show is shit.

With some hindsight, the We Have More In Common Than We Have That Separates Us version of me from the early aughts who wrote sweet plainspoken songs trying to bridge divides did not fully anticipate a genuine full-blown American fascist movement that attempted an actual coup d'etat to end the republic and lies about it and mitigates it to this very day, and I retract those songs and those sentiments. Mea culpa and/or get-fucked, whichever might apply.

By the way, if you live in NY, let your profoundly dumb piece of shit mayor and your possibly much better councilperson know you saw the two NYPD cops in the ABC helicopter shot give heartfelt solidarity-handshakes to Trump, a 34-count felon, as he skulked back into Trump Tower because the NYPD is populated by a healthy plurality, if not majority, of fascist dicks who think an inveterate, unreconstructed would-be dictator should transcend the law they took an oath to uphold because he is exactly as racist and authoritarian as they are.

"A handful of cretinous shitsacks who fully legalized bribery in America because they hold to an ideology that insists rich, conservative people are inherently superior and should have carte blanche to rule unfettered by laws turned out to also take fuck-tons of bribes, dismissed every suggestion they account for that because those suggestions came from lowly pleb scum, and materially participated in an effort to end democracy in America" sure feels like a plot twist every last person with critical thinking skills should have seen coming.

Her post has gone viral, which is, of course, how I'm sharing it, which also pretty likely means this young woman now has an actual horde of right-wing extra-super-MAN-men sending her threats and harassment to somehow impossibly prove how wrong she is, so it's probably worth pointing out that the fundamental essence of right-wing ideology is bad problem-solving skills and a constitutional, relentless and even violent commitment to enforcing shitty hierarchies that CREATE most problems in society.

"Conservative" responses to problems are provably bad, ineffectual and, thus, problem-INFLAMING because conservative ideology absolutely insists you do. not. fucking. meaningfully. address. or even RECOGNIZE. the. problem.

GrimmReality OP ,
@GrimmReality@beige.party avatar

Empathy is innate. It is how we learn things from our first breaths. It has to be DEconditioned and one function of right-wing political thought for 50 years in this fucking country - from Limbaugh to Fox News to splintered micromedia like Rogan and Tate - has been to decondition empathy in as many people as possible by selling them tribalism and faux-aggrievement at people daring to step outside of the hierarchal "natural order." This is INTRINSIC to the ideology and why it became an actual fascist movement.

Lister's post says: "Since writing this article, I have received messages from angry men, calling me names, telling I’m wrong, & that I’d be begging a man to save me if I was lost in the woods. To recap, there are men are sending me abusive emails to prove they are the safe choice. So far, no bears have written in."

    "The beatings will continue until morale improves" is an old old pre-meme-era meme, but it is pretty much the very ethos of contemporary right-wing problem-solving and the rudimentary explanation of why it is just programmatic sociopathy.

    And if you happen to see a giant red arrow pointing to other things happening right now, like say to administrators at Columbia University or any other institute of higher learning where kneejerk reactionary fuckheads decided to just blithely call in goons to beat their problems (kids mad at war) away, that giant red arrow very much exists and it is the bright pulsing neon Vegas-strip version.

    Hi, do you run a major American university? Are you also predisposed to calling militarized cops to beat kids protesting war because you consider blunt-force violence a good solution to complex problems? I'm no placement expert but I would suggest maybe you should consider a different line of work, one that, say, you might be qualified for.

    I wonder if there is a correlation here. I wonder if there is somehow SOME kind of odd, perhaps even magical coincidence of recognizing the agency of stakeholders in your institution and thus talking to those stakeholders and NOT calling military-grade goons to beat the shit out of them and then effecting a peaceful and civil exchange where positive outcomes happen without unconscionable violence, and if there is maybe some causal connection between not recognizing the agency of stakeholders in your institution and, in fact, DENYING their role as stakeholders and calling in goons and then violence happening because you specifically called said goons to beat the shit out of people, which then stirs up even further acrimony and creating exponentially more allies for those beaten people, leaving the "problem" you attempted to solve completely unsolved and now worse?

    It'd be pretty fucking weird and insane if we could make the whole cause-and-effect of that, right?

    It's a good thing nobody made any meaningful reforms the last time cops murdered a guy in cold blood for no reason and it sparked the biggest wave of civil rights protests since the 1960s that cops nearly universally responded to with a fusillade of pointless violence against unarmed people and by strongarming municipal governments entertaining even the mildest measure of civilian oversight, after which nearly all cop unions endorsed an overt racist authoritarian then in the process of implementing the most massive battery crimes in the history of the republic with the ultimate goal of ending American democracy in favor of an unelected fascist police state, so that a few years later those same cops, heroes that they are, would feel liberated to do the important work of beating and gassing kids on their own college campuses for the insidious crime of chanting slogans.

    I saw this segment on Times (UK) Radio where an older going-way-back feminist campaigner was telling a somewhat younger feminist and boisterous pal-of-Joanne-Rowling that she, the older lady, had fought every iteration of conservative bigotry going back to when they actually arrested and beat up and tortured gay people for being gay and the language of the anti-trans people sounds exactly the same as it did back then because the language of the in-group trying the beat the out-group into line is ALWAYS the same. The younger feminist snapped back that, well, you see, that's how WE (Joanne and her, I guess) are different, we're NOT the conservative Ancien Regime shitheads, we are proud liberals, so that tells you our particular notion of whom to unperson is just and correct, and, man . . .

    I don't know how to fucking tell you this in a nice way because they're really isn't a nice way but when you agree with Tories and Republicans and actual fucking neo-Nazis full-throatedly and out loud, specifically in support of a newly minted public Holocaust-denier, to insist your pet bigotry is the ONE bigotry in the entirety of a history of Proper Society stomping on the faces of marginalized people that is THE smart and well-meant bigotry, you've turned in your Decent Human Being Card. You are as right-wing as the shit you do and, TERFS, you are right-wing as every last fuck because - and I cannot yell this loudly enough - you agree with literally the shittiest people in the fucking world. And I know that won't move you to fuck off, as you should, or at least try to be a better person, but, in any rational timeline, it fucking well would.

    I have been stupid in my life and, even when I got a bit smarter, lived amongst brilliant people relative to whom I was stupid, so being stupid is not intrinsically bad, it can be a base from which you work to be less stupid.

    It's when an actual movement of people comes along and says YOU MUST BE EXACTLY AS STUPID AND AWFUL AS WE ARE TO BE A PROPER PERSON AND ASSIMILATE INTO A GODLY UTOPIA OF GRINDING HOPE-STOMPING STUPID that you should do the work to make sure those people never ever have an iota of influence on anyone else's life.

    Yeah, honestly, I GET it but there's no shock left to be apportioned out to how genuinely, breathlessly stupid American conservatives are. This is just a thing we have to contend with now and, ideally, marginalize, every day of every week, world-without-end-amen. Because they're REALLY this bad and they REALLY supported a coup to end America as a constitutional republic and they do that because they are verifiably stupid, shit people working intrepidly to smash human freedom.

    Two social media posts in succession, the first frm Daily Wire lead neo-Nazi Matt Walsh musing “Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer," followed by a reply post from Derek Thompson who says, 'What happened is scientists discovered chloroflourocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history."
