The USA shld really consider a democracy rather than a pseudo-democratic aristocracy system that was designed 4 the wealthy +now the plutocrats.
Both parties r conservative+liberal conservatives only get what the conservative Republicans allow them
I mean-they don’t even have universal healthcare!

I’m just gonna say it: I think there was a whole genre of academic pseudo-activism about how the university itself was conservative/colonial/needed to be abolished etc that was the political equivalent of ZIRP. Like it just feels absurd these days.
granted, i invented this person in my head, but im assuming people who were saying college is itself a corrupt institution filled with authoritarians yesterday are not going to be enthusiastically fighting for the life of the UC system

"Wealthy reactionaries try to use pseudo-conservative organizers, spokesmen & groups to propagate their notions of public policy, & some organizers of pseudo-conservative & “patriotic” groups often find in this work a means of making a living; thus turning a tendency toward paranoia into a vocation.

Dark money groups like Do No Harm will spend millions on ads promoting it. Conservative media will similarly promote it and push it nonstop. It'll be a chorus of bad actors promoting this pseudo science backed by the federal government to eradicate a minority group.

IMO it's inaccurate to dismiss the CEO assassin as right-wing. His posts + bookshelf are a bizarre but familiar mishmash of conflicting ideas common to young men, some of which are conservative (or at least hypercapitalist) + some of which are pseudo-leftist. US politics has a 3 body problem.

sure there's some sense in which it 'confirms' their hyperreal (like assuming the shooter is lefty so they can say fascist methods are justified to control lefties). but more fundamentally, conservative luminaries can't be chosen by god and pseudo gods themselves if some rando can kill them whenever

It would be more difficult to explain to my daughter how in my lifetime Snoop went from a drug dealing pseudo gangster that was all about "dem hoes" to a frightened old church marm conservative crying in a movie theater because of a G-rated movie.

A side effect of every smart conservative giving up and joining the Democrats is that in the age of Both Sides, the media will desperately launder anything a far rightist says if they use polysyllabic words which apply a pseudo-intellectual veneer to whatever gutter racist fart emissions they issue.

Almost like when Trans people raised the alarm about him being just another milquetoast pseudo-centrist conservative for caving on trans rights, WE WERE RIGHT.

i've had to explain scientific concepts about how sickness spreads to Other Trans People in order to argue against their anti-mask sentiment A Lot in the past few years and that's Really Embarrassing! leftist people will parrot straight up conservative pseudo-science to defend their own selfishness

O'Leary will say anything, whatever Harper orders him to. He's too sleazy for my taste, just like Poilievre, Smith, Moe, Ford and the rest of that pseudo-conservative bunch.

There is no such thing as Republican or Democratic science, no such thing as conservative or liberal science. There is just pseudo-science and real science. Idealogical "science" journals aren't advancing real science, they are using pseudo-science to advance their idealogical agenda.
When someone complains that the #NIH or other government funding agency doesn’t fund “conservative” research, you automatically place a useless label on public health & hamper progress.
Conservative “Science” isn’t a thing. 🧪

I don’t want Jamil Jivani to be fired, I want him to remain with the Conservative Party as a symbol of what it truly stands for: Trumpism, treason, bigotry, anti-LGBTQ2S+, and pseudo-Christian nationalism.

in terms of “bringing diversity of opinion” it’s kinda weird that 80% of conservative contributors at newspapers are all related to each other in a pseudo polycule

The post-Tory Conservative Party increasingly resembles the Marxist-Leninist pseudo-revolutionary groupuscules that spent most of their time expelling the ideologically impure and fighting each other in the 1990s Berlin and London scenes
Mindboggling piece by an anonymous former Tory MP in the Critic, which argues that the solution to the party's current problems is to expel 1 in 6 of the smallest parliamentary party it's ever had (too left wing, you see)

It’s interesting that former Cabinet Minister Simon Clarke has become one of Kemi Badenoch’s number one cheerleaders, for it was Simon Clarke who notoriously made a Titanic metaphor when Rishi Sunak…
