My comment was never about the article. Simply your fetishistic and obsessive behaviors regarding trans people it’s all over the community lol. It’s great that you might actually be realizing this. I was wondering how long it would take. Being part of any group doesn’t guarantee that you are a good person. On the whole trans people commit less crime than many other groups. But it’s still funny to see people who champion felons, clutch pearls about other groups.

You have no facts. In fact. I used your own technique against you. So if you’re criticizing me you’re just as guilty. And a hypocrite. Which no surprise there.

What your obsession with trans people? Yes that certainly is a fetish on your part. I mean for Christ’s sake if we used one person to judge all conservative people by. It’s definitely brain damage.

For sure no one else is liable to beat them at that game. Long term it isn’t really sustainable for a large group of individuals. But the thing is the game has always changed and will continue to change.
The moment there’s a hiccup in the SEO and ad revenue. There’s a good chance the Psychopaths with the money. Who don’t understand or care what’s going on will come at them like they have everyone else. Either way it’s good to see a lot of these groups getting back to their roots and taking the reins for themselves again. It’s enough to warm and anarchist’s heart

It might be a little more tense than you think. There are a lot of real journalism criticism Etc trying to go Indy as well. Mostly in one Niche or another.
When it comes to a lot of scamming cryptocurrency and online things. One could argue people like coffeezilla are the better source to watch than a lot of other sites.
It’s only a matter of time until more people try it. Depending upon their success it could easily spell the end of sites like that. All someone has to do is prove another model viable. Imagine one of the staff from IGN splits taking along some of their contacts with them. And using that to get interviews and leveraging more contacts Etc .
It seems there may be a trend. And as you said there’s a lot of people who would gladly rather frequently site not as dense and slathered in s*** advertisements.

And I’d question how long it’s working for them at least long term. You’re only an asset until they’re looking for a scapegoat.

Ironically if there was ever a time Kung Fury was more needed to bash the fash. I’m unaware of it.

The entire plot is more or less a repeat of the original. And I would watch it repeatedly. The fact that they have Carpenter Brut doing the score at least for the trailer here only makes me want to see it that much more. Them on a soundtrack will make it positively Epic.
- Comment on Airplane 2025 (2025, dir Adrian Avila) 5 weeks ago:
Wait, the Naked Gun trailer looks good‽ you must have seen a different trailer than I did. The one I saw looked awful. I will admit I got one and only one minor chuckle out of it and that was the slight at oj. But outside of that the trailer seemed to completely lack any self-awareness of what it was. Looking like it was made by someone who never seen or understood the original movies. I might give it a chance still. Seeing as this isn’t somehow a reboot of the old characters. These are supposed to be the sons of The Originals. But so far my confidence really isn’t there. But Tom Arnold in an airplane movie this is just f****** egregious

- Comment on An independent voter explains why they chose a moronic, oligarcho-fascist demagogue over Joe Biden (c. November 2020) [Day 58] 3 months ago:
He did join the party to run as a Democrat. Otherwise he couldn’t have run in their primary and he’s stayed in the party since then I believe.

I never said it did. That’s why Sanders got a lot of that changed working with the Democrats.
It just always comes off as manipulative and disingenuous whenever anyone makes it about Sanders. Especially when they then fail to mention how he worked with the very same Democratic party to make the primaries more democratic. Seemingly being performatively outranged for a man who wasn’t. Almost like you don’t understand the man you claim to support. Or who he is/what he’s about.
I’ve never regretted voting for Sanders in both primaries. Unfortunately a very vocal disingenuous minority do make me reluctant to mention it publicly often.

Because it happens in, every, single, election. It wasn’t some special treatment Sanders got. Serious question, did you just come of voting age in the last 5 years? I’ve been at it for over 30 now, and have seen this several times.

I wouldn’t say he got crushed. But you’re not wrong. Despite people being wrong down voting you for saying that he lost the popular vote. He 100% did. I can say that as someone who voted for sanders. Unfortunately a lot of Sanders voters can’t.
A lot of the Democrats primary rules weren’t very democratic. But Sanders knew what they were going in. And Democrats didn’t break the rules. And despite losing, Sanders got shit done and helped make the rules more democratic for the future.

Not for national Democrats. State and local Democrats. In a red state like mine. The state apparatus is practically non existent. Republicans run unopposed almost as often as they run against a non Republican. Which includes non Democrats.
Small towns and hamlets organizing as for instance in my case, Missouri Democrats. Run by locals, for locals. Who don’t prostrate themselves at the foot of the National Party as a simple reaction. That would go against the national party when it serves their interests.
Yes the fascists have spent decades putting out antidemocrat propaganda. But when it’s Dave from a few blocks over running. Not some faceless person largely supported by groups outside the state. That sort of propaganda tends to fall flat when they can’t "other” you.
Do this in enough towns and possibly get one of the smaller cities. All of a sudden, the state arm of the National Party might hold less influence than you do. It would be rather easy to force them into irrelevance with something like that. Which is what needs to be done.
It is 100% feasible. When you have a connection to a group to a party. One that’s local and accountable to you. They can try to spread whatever lies they want about it. The people who deal with them will know the truth. Propaganda really only works, and works best about groups you have no real contact with or understanding of. It’s how and why Communists and Jews were targeted in 1930s Germany. They were harmless minorities. But most people didn’t have any stake in defending them or knowing them. So they were easy targets. It’s why the fascist today are targeting trans people and immigrants. A lot of people don’t knowingly have contact of any note with these groups. So they don’t know that the fascists are lying and misrepresenting things. Granted with basic critical thinking skills they should know. But critical thinking skills are not something we value in America unfortunately. Not that we are alone.

We don’t need a new party though. And no one should be arguing for one. As it would be ineffectual until we change the system as you said. What we need is local and Community leadership for the Democratic Party. What we need is to not leave the leadership decisions up to those in Washington.
Yes top down leadership can be very effective. But not in the long term. Otherwise the Soviet Union would still exist. Otherwise our parties would still represent us. If we want a party to start representing us again. We need to stop making it them and us. And just make it us. And the only way to do that is to stop relying on someone to lead nationally. Start leading locally. With the national parties only duties to coordinate between new York Democrats, Florida Democrats, Missouri Democrats, and California Democrats. And we get there by community action.

I believe this is the right video. It should go a long way to answering your question.
Top down organization of political parties like the Democrats in the US is relatively new. Last 50+ years or so, and antidemocratic. Look to when the Democratic party was much better for the average man. And one of the differences you’ll see was it was much more bottom up. Local organization and community building is vital. Not just for left anarchist/libertarians like myself. But to any common man looking for a political party to represent them. Leaving leadership to their own devices is how leadership became so out of touch.

Remember when unions thought they were so Irreplaceable and important. That they would withhold Support for a second term from a Democrat, they didn’t think did enough for them. One of the biggest miscalculations and blunders of the post World War II era. Because first they came for the unions and labor power.

Perhaps. Though it still hilariously transparent how many act like the Democrats are the problem and not the actual fascists. Democrats certainly aren’t the solution. They’re not even remotely the biggest threat either. One of these days after it’s far too late you all will get your priorities straight eventually. I mean even stalling eventually stood with the United States against his former Ally against Poland.
Things will continue to get worse till the voting populace finds solidarity. Fascists love it when we are divided. And many so-called leftists act like they are God’s gift if you politics despite having nothing to show for it. I hope you all have a chance to explain the people you failed. How it was important for you to maintain your ideological Purity than actually do anything to help anyone.

No they literally don’t. They owe the people who largely Finance the party. And they deliver for those people. While voters every 4 years break records for small donations in presidential elections. Every year in between we do a whole lot of nothing in general for them. Then we childishly wine and throw a tantrum when the president that we held our nose to elect does not have support in the House and Senate to actually get anything done for us. It’s not in every 4-year thing. It’s a multiple times a year thing. It’s a showing up enough to change the course of the primaries and seeing them through the general thing. And running the people we would like to see thing. If we all just sit around and take whatever they’ll give. That’s on us.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Yours is the first mention of anyone owing anyone anything. But let’s phrase it this way. If we don’t owe them anything. Then they also don’t owe us anything. Therefore it’s ridiculous and hypocritical to complain that they didn’t deliver on XYZ for us. They didn’t owe it to us.
All I was implying was solidarity. If we the voting population are so ignorant as to not know the difference between abject fascism. And people who, while they don’t excite us. Don’t propose a massive slide into authoritarianism and brutal repression. Or cannot feel obliged to do whatever possible to keep fascists from the levers of power. That is absolutely on us. I didn’t vote for harris. I voted against trump. Unfortunately for more people than should be acceptable wanted fascism. Or at least didn’t find it motivating enough to hold their nose and vote. Which again is on us. If we want Democrats to do better. We also need to do better.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Well I’m not here to defend liberals. They’re generally useless. Not an actual solution to any existing problems. But in this case there was simple well documented precedence.
When it comes to stopping fascism. We the voting population share a significant part of the blame ourselves. Democrats ran an abjectly horrible campaign, its true. But when they’re torn between two opposing pillars of power. Disaster was always on the menu. We “can” vote them in to power. Buy we aren’t reliable about it, and can’t provide funding for messaging and outreach the way wealthy oligarchs can. We used to be able to do it. But that was before Reagan broke the unions.
