I think it's important to note SCOTUS proves the GOP has long been its current self. Clarence Thomas was nominated by GHW Bush, Samuel Alito and John Roberts were nominated by W Bush. The decisions made by SCOTUS today feature Thomas and Alito trying to push the court even further right...

The ultimate battle for the "truth" is now just a war of adjectives and adjectives' adjectives. We’ve reached peak postmodernism: the history of the future is being edited in real-time by people arguing over a single noun.

BOOM! I was a little surprised that Wikipedia said the quiet part out loud. There's some movement towards reality, but still ... Milton Friedman's article plays him up as a genius, when all of his economic thinking was a bust, and he was only sharp at being a salesperson for Reaganism.

Exactly! If you check out sites such as "polticalcompass dot org", they show that the bulk/establishment of the dem party (compared to the rest of the world politics) are mostly center-right. Sure we're trickling in some demsocialists but they take up a fraction of the entire coalition. Thank you!

If you want to know more about the excruciating decisions Wikipedia power users make on a daily basis on top of their day jobs, I commissioned this @thexylom.com interview for you! bsky.app/profile/thex...

"I think the biggest misinformation spreader in the U.S. is the President of the United States himself. [...] Even if you don’t like him, or you don’t like what he says, even if you know that whatever he says is not true, it’s impossible to avoid seeing his content."

literally nobody beyond an extremely narrow group who already is likely to be sufficiently alarmed knows the term "neo-nationalist". painting using it as some kind of antifascist victory is very silly

Shouldn't we just call fascists fascists? Neo whatever just makes them seem acceptable by society when they should be treated by the world how they were in WWII

Israel has a vested interest in spreading antisemitism globally since it boosts their narrative about Israel being the only safe place for Jews and they think it'll encourage Jews to move to Israel. Assigning responsibility of the genocide onto Judaism is also antisemetic and Israel loves doing that

I don’t really get what that has to do with my statement, which is that antisemitism is baked into virtually every neo nationalist movement I’ve encountered and yet it seems absent from the wiki. Which even mentions anti globalism, which routinely caters to antisemitic conspiracy theory.
