Dear God, will we ever recover?

two posts from one of those accounts you see every now and then with bad takes:

"Being more serious re: the Atlantic piece, I so actually wonder what people who went in for the siller aspects of Woke 1 now think of it all?

Stupid example, but honestly I found the series of The Rookie (not a great show to begin with!) after they felt they had to Address Race just unwatchable"

Seeing a lot of posts to this effect and wondering if you people understand that you are all fucking insane

"eah, not a defense attorney but just in years of dealing with people, I've noticed that if they go straight to any version of "the evidence does not show I did it" it's because they definitely did it."

INFLUENCING THE MACRO ENVIRONMENT

"The whole reason for these kicking-and-screaming posts is to continue trying to be “right” online. Dems didn’t cover themselves in glory, but anyone posting like Jane did help influence the macro environment for swing and normie voters to stay home or vote Trump bc Dems were seen to be “feckless”"

The whole TNC article is excellent but he's a legend for going after JFK in the middle of it

"Touring the world, a young John F. Kennedy was disturbed to find that America “was definitely classed with the imperialist powers of Europe.” Like Wilson, he paid lip service to the anti-colonial spirit and, at his inauguration, pledged support for the Third World “not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right.” The Bay of Pigs was three months later.

Kennedy agonized over the failed operation to overthrow Cuba’s Fidel Castro, but he quickly made peace with cloak-and-dagger imperialism. His CIA engaged the Mafia to kill Castro (1960); urged a military coup in Brazil (1962), which would bear fruit two years later; helped apartheid-era South Africa locate and arrest Nelson Mandela (1962); and supported the Ba’ath Party in overthrowing the Iraqi government (1963) and crushing its communist opposition. In Vietnam the once anti-colonialist Kennedy first supported Eisenhower’s handpicked dictator, Ngo Dinh Diem, then facilitated a coup against him in which he was subsequently killed. When Kennedy was himself killed, a few weeks after Diem, so profligate were his shadow wars that some close to him believed, as Malcolm X said, that the chickens had indeed come home to roost. “Bobby Kennedy himself suspected the killings might be the work of the CIA, the Mob or Castro,” writes journalist Vincent Bevins in his book The Jakarta Method. “Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s first suspicion was that it was retaliation for Diem’s murder.”"

The Dems have one hope

the scene from The Simpsons where the doctor explains that all of Mr. Burns's illnesses are unable to kill him because they're in perfect balance, illustrating this by trying to push a bunch of plush germs through a doorway at once

we love to joke about how many unhinged takes people have about movies on social media but it's always been like this

High Noon has been cited as a favorite by several U.S. presidents. Dwight Eisenhower screened the film at the White House,[10] and Bill Clinton hosted a record 17 White House screenings of it.[30] "It's no accident that politicians see themselves as Gary Cooper in High Noon," Clinton said. "Not just politicians, but anyone who's forced to go against the popular will. Any time you're alone and you feel you're not getting the support you need, Cooper's Will Kane becomes the perfect metaphor."[31][32] Ronald Reagan cited High Noon as his favorite film, due to the protagonist's strong commitment to duty and the law.[33]

By contrast, John Wayne told an interviewer that he considered High Noon "the most un-American thing I've ever seen in my whole life,"[34] and later teamed with director Howard Hawks to make Rio Bravo in response. "I made Rio Bravo because I didn't like High Noon," Hawks explained. "Neither did Duke [Wayne]. I didn't think a good town marshal was going to run around town like a chicken with his head cut off asking everyone to help. And who saves him? His Quaker wife. That isn't my idea of a good Western."[35]

The film was criticized in the Soviet Union as "glorification of the individual".[10]

It's not shifting the subject. It's a great point.

And again, the fact that you centrists will all be like, "Yes, of course Piker needs to be cast out!" while none of you say a goddamn thing about Mona Charen, the author of the article you're praising, being an overt anti-trans bigot, tells me everything I need to know.

A fascinating reveal. Guys like this assume they understand the experience of having your humanity rejected by the structure of society because sometimes people are mean to them en masse. It's the idpol version of "I was poor in college."

The Australian Zoo has a magazine called "Crikey!" and this is what the covers are like

Cover of Crikey! Magazine. A leopard is stalking towards the camera and the word "Crikey!" is written above it in large, white, comic-style text.

(QTs disabled or else I wouldn't screenshot, but I want to provide context) The more troubling expectation that is becoming normal on this site is "I do not have to put any care into how I write about sensitive topics." Writing on social media is, by its nature, writing for a broad audience.

kevinbaker: "you are responsible for every possible way your words may be interpreted" is an expectation, I think, that no one would want applied to themselves, but it seems to be becoming normal on this site.

this reads like a joke about liberal allyship

That awful Sky account saying "this is the skeleton key for our age" and then it's a forum post about how pre-internet, if someone wanted to "fuck a toaster" they would be set straight by someone calling them the r slur

Jake Grumbach saying that neoliberalism causes fascism but then questioning whether it's inevitable, then suggesting it's a positive that neoliberalism "writes everything down" by having a constitution that constrains the commoners while letting the powerful run free. This is better than fascism which is roughly the same except that it isn't actually codified.

That old tweet: "Sometimes on campus you accidentally walk by a business class and the professor is writing like profit = revenue - cost on the board and everyone is taking notes like it's actual school"

"This is correct" followed by a link to an article that admits the whole thing is a big jerk off with no actionable steps that can be taken

"I'm not arguing that this represents a large faction of the American left, not it's it anything elected officials or organizers are claiming. ... But!"
