Why doesn’t Biden just have Trump and the conservative SC judges shot for treason? It’d be an “official act” and therefore OK according to conservatives, after all. It’d make the world in general a better place, and also help stop the US sliding (further…) into fascism

But! “Abysmal” comes from “abysm”:

abysm

| əˈbɪz(ə)m |

noun literary

an abyss: the abysm from which nightmares crawl.

Most pleasant and humane conservative.

I keep repeating this, but “moderate” conservatives are mythical creatures much like unicorns or ethical billionaires.

Every conservative either outright supports authoritarianism, or would be fine with it as long as it’s their side in power because of course the leopards won’t eat their faces. “Moderates” will always choose co-operation with literal fascists over co-operation with the left because they ultimately have fewer ideological disagreements with them – just look at what’s happening here in Europe with all the “moderates” lining up to kiss Meloni’s ring (remember that her FdI party is literally a descendant of the original Fascist Party and multiple of its members including Meloni have voiced admiration of Mussolini)

Damn, it’s a squid-eat-squid world

Also National Socialism means they were socialists, much like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a democratic republic.

It just shows a total lack of understanding of what the NSDAP platform was. Nazi Germany was a corporatist (in the political science sense) and authoritarian capitalist country, and they eg. specifically privatized a lot of functions that had been public before, absolutely loathed the idea of welfare or supporting “unworthy” people in any way, and were quite enthusiastically supported by business interests starting from their early years. Socialism, ie. social ownership of the means of production and strong public services, is about as opposite as can be to what the economics of fascism are, not to mention the social side. Fascists literally murdered sick or infirm people rather than support them, because weakness has to be weeded out of society.

Like this contemporary caricature puts it, the NSDAP – the National Socialist German Workers’ Party – presented itself as the “Socialist Workers’ Party” when appealing to workers, and as the “National German Party” when appealing to “financially solvent circles”.

All of this is just completely beyond many conservatives’ capability to internalize – understanding any of that would mean they’d have to think some very uncomfortable thoughts about their own ideology, and the vast majority of them are fundamentally incapable of that sort of self-reflection.

Hey at least your brain starts working eventually, some of us aren’t that lucky 😅

That sort of intellectual dishonesty just really fucking activates my almonds. Like, I have absolutely no problem with ignorance, because not knowing something doesn’t mean you’re stupid or let alone malicious, just that you haven’t had an opportunity to learn about it, but this sort of “well I looked into it and turns out that black is white and up is down” twaddle is just… argh.

The reality of what Project 2025 is about is on full public display (they even have their own domain) and it’s so blatantly obvious that it’s essentially “institutionalized Trumpism”. Yeah there’s apparently been some friction lately, but anybody who thinks those people don’t fully back Trump is lying to themselves and others so much that it’s not even funny.

Pfft, woke cultural Marxist “scientists” controlled by BIG GOBERMENT tell you that asbestos causes cancer or that tiny pieces of plastic can make you sick, and you believe them? I’ll snort a rail of asbestos just to trigger the libs.

But seriously speaking though, while yeah that was sarcastic as fuck, that’s essentially the world view behind why conservatives are increasingly detached from reality; anything “the left” (which, like I tend to quip, is apparently everyone left of the Strasserites nowadays) believes in is by default wrong because the left is wrong. The authorities, researchers etc. who say that CO² emissions are a problem, or that drinking bleach or eating huge doses of dewormer won’t actually cure your COVID – which by the way you simultaneously believe to be a lie perpetrated by Jewish space lizards controlled by Bill Gates – are all “the left”, so those things just can’t be true

And just don’t ask me about the time I blew up a gas station because my mom called me while I was filling up.

Oh shit I’d completely forgotten about that one.

I mean yeah, at least GSM phones (and I guess CDMA too since the frequency bands are pretty close) did tend to cause funky interference, but the idea that they could somehow cause fuel pumps to go boom was… well, a bit silly.

Project 2025 can’t outright endorse Trump because it’d be illegal you fucking cabbage, but anybody with more than two neurons to rub together should be able to piece together the fact that yes, Project 2025 does in fact fully back Trump and generally comprises of hardcore Trumpists.

Jesus fuck I don’t even know why I bother, it’s not like any of this is going to get through to you.

But hey, at least your 5G reception is fantastic

Yeah, non-conservatives (mainly liberals) really need to get it into their heads that every single conservative either actively wants an authoritarian state that murders “woke” people and minorities, or if they’re not outright for it they think that surely the leopards won’t eat their face because they’re on the right side.

Ultimately even a “moderate” conservative has fewer disagreements with literal neo-Nazis (oh wait, except the Nazis are leftists according to reich-wingers) than they do with anybody left of the fucking Strasserites. Even if a conservative is not calling for the extermination of {CURRENT_HATED_MINORITY}, they’re still more than happy to support parties that either have fascist members or collaborate with fascists.

This is on clear display here in Europe; the “moderate” conservatives are lining up to kiss Meloni’s ass, and they don’t mind at all that FdI (Meloni’s party) is a literal offshoot of the original Fascist Party and a huge percentage of their MPs and “lay members” have voiced their love of Mussolini.

It doesnt look like 2025 is assiciated with trump at all, just googling around.

Either you’re absolute shit at even basic information retrieval or you’re fucking lying. So which one is it, are you incompetent or malicious? (And no, that’s not an exclusive “or”)

Or Cocaine Bear’s cocaine.

… wait, has anybody ever seen Cocaine Bear and Yogi in the same room?

Because you can’t surgically change someone’s sex; or do you think that eg. trans women have wombs? Here’s how the Canadian Institutes of Health Research explains the difference:

Sex refers to a set of biological attributes in humans and animals. It is primarily associated with physical and physiological features including chromosomes, gene expression, hormone levels and function, and reproductive/sexual anatomy. Sex is usually categorized as female or male but there is variation in the biological attributes that comprise sex and how those attributes are expressed.

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people. It influences how people perceive themselves and each other, how they act and interact, and the distribution of power and resources in society. Gender identity is not confined to a binary (girl/woman, boy/man) nor is it static; it exists along a continuum and can change over time. There is considerable diversity in how individuals and groups understand, experience and express gender through the roles they take on, the expectations placed on them, relations with others and the complex ways that gender is institutionalized in society.

Yeah, sure, a pedant could argue that “gender correction surgery” is the wrong term since gender is a social construct and that’s not what’s literally done in the operation, because the operation is more about correcting (ie into accordance with whatever that person’s gender is) external “markers” of sex and/or genitals, but that doesn’t mean sex reassignment is therefore the correct term.
