  • If it wasn’t a nazi salute, then why won’t any other right-wing politicians, commentators, or pundits do it?

    They have been challenged to, and they all skirt around it.

    They claim it was a different gesture, along the lines of “giving my heart to you,” but then won’t do the actual gesture.

    Charlie kirks’ attempt to write off the obvious nazi salute was especially funny:

    It’s not even close… not even close…

    They won’t do it because they all know what it was. They know its wrong. They know only elon would get away with it (and possibly trump) because they are the leaders of the cult.

    The only other person who did it (weakly, as far as i know, and almost didn’t do it) is this guy:

    It was so awkward. He even had to give a little nod to himself afterwards when it didn’t go down badly, as if he was sighing in relief.

    It’s pathetic that people try to defend it. It is obvious what it was.



  • I know that the industry is horrific. I have battled internally with becoming a vegan. And this isn’t a but, it’s just something i thought about once when thinking about the argument that whilst in nature, animals eat other animals, its not the same as what we do as we farma dn torture animals to get the meat…

    Its cats…

    Cats torture their prey…

    They play with it, and maim it and keep it alive for as long as possible so they can chase it, for fun…

    And sometimes they just fucking leave it there when it dies.

    And we love cats. Even vegans love cats.

    And that sort of makes me laugh a bit.

    Found this out in school when someone wrote some less than acceptable words on the board in permanent marker. The teacher scribbled over it with drywipes, waited a few seconds and wiped it away.

    They said it was because essentially drywipe marker is a permanent marker with solvents.













  • For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.

    Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel “heard” instead of “opressesed.”

    Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be “oppressed.” But from their perspective, they aren’t allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.

    Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.

    When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say “yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail” but then they pull the rug and say, “sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things”

    When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.
