Which user would catch more smoke on the angry left-wing website?
A.) A former National Review editor and Iraq War advocate who was an important voice in conservative politics for decades?
B.) Some guy with a Honda Civic who's kinda annoying and likes charts.

There is a school of thought that says we now have no choice but to 'punish' Dems by somehow ensuring Talarico loses. But there is no offramp from this battle. The centrist transphobes will fight for this *no matter what happens.*
This is about narrative, and we need to stay engaged.

this is all..... objectively true? Ken "Trans Bad" Paxton winning on a near one-issue campaign would indeed be worse. and you need to be inside the tent if you want to be listened to

The mind recoils to think of it in those terms, of course, but we've got social scripts about "begging for mercy and understanding with the implacable foe about to kill you" in pop culture & social narratives.
They're not actually very complimentary. At best they see such people as tragic dupes.

One Che Guevara always tells the truth, the other always lies. If Charlie Kirk can figure out which is which without angering Stalin, he gets into heaven.

they ignored me and dismissed me as a crank for my theories for years, forcing me to the fringes. now there's a global catastrophe that none of the so-called reputable scientists saw coming. turns it's totally unrelated to my bullshit, they were basically right to ignore me.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus): These raptors have eyesight that is adapted to spotting underwater objects from the air, useful when 99% of its diet is fish. With a wingspan of 180cm (71in) this bird is found in all continents (except Antarctica). #osprey #ospreys #fishhawk #raptor #raptors #birds #bird

anyway whatever your take on 2024 is, i think it has to be able to explain the direction of public opinion since then. if you think that 2024 was a national plebiscite in favor of MAGA, then how do you explain the president’s falling approval on immigration after March 2025?

Don’t terror bomb Iran, focus on irgc facilities
-demand Paxton not to be a r*tard in Texas
-dont siege Minneapolis, take it immediately
-ally with khive against the progressives
-ignore Maine

It feels a little surreal that Somalia has been going through a constitutional crisis/low-level civil war for two years, but I have seen no reporting on it by any major news organization. I mean, even news that's nominally more internationalist/liberal has nothing on it

The next Dem president is going to need to come in with an agenda that makes FDR's 100 days look listless and tired; just like FDR, there's going to be some failures but we're going to need to empty the entire mag of potential options fast because we need to rebuild so much at once.

Kinda got a crazy music box run with bombardment, I enchanted it with Adroit, got Intimidating Helmet, Kunai, Ornamental Fan, and the Fake Snecko Eye. Got pretty decent luck with my other relics as well. Early on I got carried by 2 royal gambles/child of the stars.

Tolkien gave up on writing a sequel to the Lord of the Rings because he imagined the youth of Gondor forming 'orc-cults' who would imitate Mordor and found it too depressing; a remarkable feat of imagination when it came to predicting people who still worship the Soviet or Nazi empires today.
Exciting news everybody: so long as you change the name on the tin of your empire, it is suddenly not imperialism for you to violently reconquer the people you used to control, it's just sparkling anti-secessionism.
Tankies, man, wow.
