Have you actually unpacked the right wing rhetoric you grew up around, or do you just think it's bad when done to groups you like?

the other day I read a compelling point that many instances described as illiteracy would actually be more aptly described as aliteracy, meaning an individual has the ability to read but simply chooses not to. great example here, awesome work.

Anthony Head: Buffy and Ted Lasso actor dies at 72

The British actor, who also appeared in Merlin and Little Britain, died of complications from pneumonia.

Shit.

you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogyny, you have to love jews more than you hate antisemitism, you have to love Black people more than you hate white supremacy, you have to love Indigenous people more than you hate colonialism, you have to love the disabled and mentally ill more than you hate ableism, you have to love. you have to love.

From the history website:

1. The opponents of Platner want him to drop out. This faction have always been against him.

2. The leftists have split into two groups: those that want him to drop out and diehard supporters who are ride or die.

3. Most disgustingly: one person said that, “if people could stomach voting for [Kamala] Harris, they can do the same for Platner.”

Which is just insulting. It’s more than insulting.

What is it with the far right and far left supporting mediocre white male nepo babies with a history of sexual violence over women like Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris, who are more than qualified for any political office?

The far left has done a very good job over the past week showing that a huge reason they refused to vote for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is because they fundamentally just hate women. Like, they really, really hate women.

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what’s more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

You know, as much as I would love to have Doug Jones back as Governor, I do have to acknowledge that pretty much the only reason he won in 2017 was because the oppo research on his opponent was so uniquely devastating even that a even a deep, deep Red state like Alabama couldn’t bring itself to vote for him despite the R next to his name. Had any other Republican gotten the nomination instead back then, it would have been a very standard race with very little national attention, as evidenced by his uneventful defeat by an assistant football coach less than two years later. The allegations against Moore were just so overwhelmingly bad that it swung a R+15 state into a D+2 election.

Not relevant to any other topics, I was just thinking recently about how those truly horrific allegations of misconduct towards women led to a 17 point swing in an election that would have probably gone with the Partisan Voting Index otherwise. No reason.

A small additional detail about Platner’s waffen ss totenkopf tattoo is that he replaced it with a celtic knot in the shape of a dog or wolf.

which… is certainly less inherently problematic—if it weren’t covering a totenkopf I wouldn’t think twice about it—but knowing how Celtic culture is fetishized by White Supremacists, it doesn’t really detract from the original problem as much as one would hope.

Let me tell you something about young, angry, military men. They are in a culture of violence, and many of us got tattoo's, especially of skulls. The cooler the better.

I'm not attributing a good reason for a bad tattoo, but not everyone knows the meaning behind every tattoo. I would suggest looking at the Russian mob tattoo's or the Yakuza. I knew a ton about the Nazi's and fascism when I was in the service, but I had no idea what this particular tattoo meant until I was twenty years older.

I know a lot of people are complaining about it and now complaining about how he covered it with another tattoo from another culture. He could have covered it with flowers and you'd be mad about that too, especially if those flowers were done in the Japanese style. Some people would likely associate that with war era Japan.

Have you never been young? Have you never made a mistake? Are you serious? Or are you someone who simply wants Collins to win because you didn't get your favored candidate? Or maybe you're a republican operative trying to piss off all the young people into skipping the vote? I am not sure which many people are anymore, but if I had the choice between Platner and Collins, I'd choose Platner for the time being. There is another election in six years. Which of these two people isn't part of a political party trying to destroy the nation?

[notaplaceofhonour]

Shut the fuck up

[inlowearthorbit]

I am dead fucking sick of people saying shit like oh I knew a ton about Nazis but I didn't know what that symbol meant and it's normal for young angry men to get fascist tattoos, it doesn't mean anything

Do you think I'm stupid, or are you admitting that you are unforgivably stupid? Is it both? It feels like both

[inlowearthorbit]

Like quite frankly the repeated insistence that it is normal and forgivable dohoho you youthful scamps behavior for young men in the military to get nazi tattoos is actually a deeply, profoundly offensive insult to the countless numbers of veterans and active duty military personnel who, like, AREN'T hateful nazi scum and/or brainless shameless idiots and it it's infuriating to see this lie repeated again and again and again

[spockwithacat]

White populist men can really do anything and people will defend them

[femalegothic]

men have such an unbelievable and unshakable victim complex.

[afurioushawk]

Wild in 2026 we're still seeing takes that the left lost young men because of "misandry", not that the right won men because it gives them an open grievance permission structure for misogyny.

We've just seen what happens when the left tries to court chuds with Graham Platner.
