Things are SO fucked in USA right now 'last week's event' covers a lot of crap! I can think of 5 things off top of me head. What a circus, eh?

Then why not make that clear, given folk in comments seem to think otherwise?

The standards of fact-checking and / or source providing by Bluesky users is pathetic.

I can understand if it was clearly marked as a SUMMARY of his squalid attitude, but clearly the gullibles here think it's real... while piously whining about fake stuff from MAGA.

Are you claiming this is an ACTUAL QUOTE of what he said?

If so, show a credible source.

That's a very silly reply.

Nothing in what I said implies what's happening with MAGA is part of that progress.

But that progress is nevertheless real, and it needs celebrating and defending and developing... not dismissing in a peevish way, or else where is there any uplifting hope?

I didn't say 'genocide is hysterical', I said celebrating him suffering was. He's a trivial idiot, not some kind of dangerous tyrant.

There's been a LOT of cultural ethical progress since 1969.

Yes. because they believe any conspiracy theory bollocks.

Both the Iranian and MAGA regimes are the enemy of progressive society, human rights and ethical decency.

You do not have to choose between the two.

I find Peterson absurd and a bit hysterical, but the idea he's a serious or dangerous enemy whose suffering we should celebrate seems like bizzare hyperbole.

You'll need to specify exactly what you mean by that- it doesn't really make much sense as it is.

He was elected by the voters.

That's how and why people 'allowed' it to happen.

Is this post suggesting a coup against an elected President?
Or a foreign invasion to remove him from power?

25% believing in a flat Earth is wrong. It's about 2% in some polls.

That 25%... er... WTF?!

I agree his mental state is alarming, but SOMETIMES people take him just farting about, barfly style, way too seriously, eg so what if he posted a bragging visual joke about a Trump tower on the Moon?

His flippant loose cannon style is part of his shocking popularity.

Awww... a foul cruel fanatical murdering theocratic dictatorship has a great sense of humour, and so we now kinda like them?

Shame Hitler didn't do stand-up...

Yes, in the UK, and the meals were absolute shite.

Morning.

You mean by putting together an opposition that actually appeals enough to the voters, so they beat Trump in an election?

That'd be great.

Might involve some pragmatism, though, instead of ideological purity obsessing about identity.

Yes, it's called an election. It's how you remove a President and their party from office.

But there's a catch: you have to sound credible enough to connect with the voters and persuade them to agree with you.

This tricky task seems lost on many who oppose Trump.

Carl Sagan

Christopher Hitchens

Karl Popper

All of them urged people to think critically for themselves, and not to blindly follow tribal ideologies... which is THE big lesson we need to teach today.

Agreed.

As is any party pandering to politicized islam.

Yes

Also- by riding the back of his weird, twisted, baffling popularity, they have taken themselves into a dead-end, where they've now no option but to circle the wagons or watch GOP seriously collapse if Trump falls.

People regularly post very shocking & explicit ICE brutality videos for exactly the same reason- to emphasise that some dysfunctional men, from many broken machismo cultures around the world, admire power and violence, and particularly enjoy directing it at women.

Regardless of HIS motivations, it's right for people to be shockingly confronted with the deep harm of such vile, machismo, mysogynist violence, given so many are in denial about it.

The dogmatic, identity obsessed left has also abandoned MLK.
