These guys’s self-radicalization cycle came from not showing their work on a math problem allegedly lol.

This also kind of explains the misogyny, since so many elementary teachers are women.

I don't really mind that I've spent most of this month touching grass offline, taking care of and befriending a cat, but then I log in to this and I miss it instantly

Apart from the fact he's like literally The Pope, Leo XIV has a Masters in Divinity and a PhD in Canon Law! Most Cardinals have terminal degrees! It's a "guys who know a lot about theology" job, kinda obviously!

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

Vaccination ought to be mandatory tbh.

As I said: you can be a fighting Centrist because, funnily enough, you don’t have to fight against the left wing of the Democratic Party, when the Confederates are right there.

Imagining your dad going through all the special features on the 9/11 documentary extra DVDs, the deleted scenes and director's commentary and such. Making everyone wait for him to finish adjusting the color and contrast to best showcase the special effects, the factory settings are just always off

Watching DS9 reruns and I forgot the one where Dax gets an insecure symbiote understudy has some random Klingon accordion dinner music

"No, no, you guys don't get it! Vance is smarter than Trump, and more able to seem normal. He's Peter Thiel's handpicked succesor! He's gonna be worse than Trump and more effective at actually establishing fascism and charming powerful people and getting institutional buy in!"

-too many people

J.D. Vance as Death going down a series of doors marked Pope Francis, Iran negotiations, Viktor Orban’s re-election and U.S. midterms.

Hungarians showed how much they wanted rid of the man irritating them.

You could say they really booed a pest.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

The second half of the 2020s breaking the Chud Internationale would really redeem the decade

it's just the fight now & will be for the foreseeable future - across nations, within nations, every institution, every level of society

& victory will go to the side that wants it most

the world's a strange chaotic place, nothing is certain, & it's not as if there's a guaranteed playbook for victory

but this is absolutely a fight we can win, our team wins all the time

don't let anyone say or imply modern fascism is unavoidable or unbeatable

these freaks lose all the time

It really is a very very good thing that Trump anointed such an anticharismatic, untalented, drippy little weirdo as his heir.

He worked so hard in his young life to appeal to an audience of rich conservative insiders and did so well at it that he thought it would be easy to transfer those skills to the rest of the world and lol no

Keep imagining Orbán thinking to himself "I've got the machinery in place to seize and keep power anyway but if I do they're going to keep sending JD Vance to talk to me and l just don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to talk to JD Vance anymore."

Like it just really is shocking the contrast between his attitude of sneering condescension and the reality of him as an utterly hapless buffoon.

JD Vance truly a loser among losers.

definitely taking note of which outlets/reporters are uncritically spreading this idea

“I secretly opposed all the bad things that happened and supported all the good things” never works, I mean these people delude themselves into thinking it might, but

maybe it will work for him

and i suppose i must have missed those times when vance urged caution regarding the president's saber-rattling against greenland and venezuela and cuba

i mean, it sure is curious that this only started after it became abundantly clear that this is a catastrophe, isn't it?

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

I’ve seen enough. God is 1) real 2) nonbinary 3) primarily motivated by a deep hatred of JD Vance

Super happy for you, and may we all get this kind of celebration the world over

for the international ideological movement.
