To get a sense of how alien and otherworldly the entire politics streamer universe is: This is a real, unedited screenshot from a Destiny stream. This is him reacting to a video of Hasan, reacting to a video of him, reacting to a different video of Hasan. (The 4hr YouTube version has 250K views.)

Something to be said for people on X reconstructing neoconservatism from paleoconservative principles. Just pick a bogeyman like "third worldism," say it's being psyopped by the establishment, and that they oppose US militarism. It is now Based to start a war with Iran.

This is how they rationalize Trump hooking up the public treasury to his personal bank account BTW. All that stuff about meritocracy and competence is a facade for "fuck you, got mine" tribalism.

CovefeAnon has 100k followers and posts about how black people are genetically predisposed towards self-enriching corruption. But the POTUS' failsons can have some defense contracts and the finest Kazakh minerals, as a treat.

When the Red Scare podcast started out wasn't the name of the podcast a cheeky comment on Russiagate paranoia? Just seems kind of weird now that Anna constantly posts about how the US needs new Palmer Raids.

The trajectory of "emotional blackmail" is one of the most hilarious developments in right-wing phraseology. Literally using Tumblr therapyspeak to assert that it's a form of abuse to point out the predictable consequences of their preferred policies.

My appeal worked! Bsky mods know what satire is somewhat.

It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life
