I remember there used to be drama about this stuff and it was funny.
Also, when light-skinned characters are drawn or digitally altered to have darker skin, and twitter artists militantly defend it as being canon. I think this happened with some Pokemon characters?
prominent figures in the RW sphere are at each other's throats about their favorite candidate.
but why? isn't it exceedingly obvious now that voter fraud is way past the point of no return? what the fuck does it matter which of these is "more likely" to win when an arbitrary number of Democrat votes will materialize at 3AM? just gotta vote harder?
focusing on the candidates is 100% a distraction.
so it's no secret that fantasy is one of the genres most infiltrated by "woke" or whatever you want to call it. can we get recommendations for recent fantasy books that are both un-pozzed and actually good?
Nowadays it is expected that every high-ranking politician is compromised in some way, especially if they claim to represent the right wing. Yet for once, DeSantis's recent decisions don't seem like controlled opposition or empty promises.
No matter how you look at it, shipping immigrants directly to Martha's Vineyard is not a token gesture. MV is a true stronghold of the elite. Obama, Bill Gates, these are not B-listers.
Now we've all seen this play out one too many times, me included, so it's very tempting to simply assume the black-pilled position. There is some perverted sense of comfort in that position, to never be unpleasantly surprised. But... maybe uncucked politicians are sometimes allowed to keep operating?
This is something you see often nowadays, especially on social media. Activists get some controversial policy approved, or censor some already-existing content. Yet if you protest it, you get the "dude why do you care" fence-sitters. They'll tell you that it doesn't matter that much and that both sides are silly anyway. Often these people are in complete support of said policy/censorship, but if you point it out they'll just tell you that those extremists don't represent them (because they're the enlightened "centrists", of course), and you get nowhere.
I feel like this is a big problem. How do you deal with this?
That's the only reason the person keeps making them, because they get a kick out of making you reply.
If you stop, they will get bored and leave.
It's not nearly as relentless as most people predicted. More importantly, it doesn't seem very effective. Is this the limit of the extent of Silicon Valley's power?
That last question is rhetorical - I can easily think of people I would de-platform if I wanted to help the Democrats. I'm just wondering what's their plan. They could be going a lot harder than this.
Blake Neff was outed as user "CharlesXII" on AutoAdmit, a relatively-tame right-wing political board.
They're going after Tucker because he's officially a threat now. I was wondering what took them so long.
The "smear" part is that they took threads that he didn't write but just had a reply in, usually a joke. Then they associated the opinions of the thread's writer with Neff. Just the usual stuff they do in hitjobs like this. Leftist news writers who are currently employed have done infinitely worse, but nobody's concerned about that, naturally.
Now comes the real test. Tucker has announced that he's going to mention Neff on his next show this Monday.
The predictable course of action is this: Tucker disavows Neff. Show hires new, more "diverse" writers. Show becomes all milquetoast or even completely pozzed. Tucker loses all the momentum he earned in the past several months.
Hopefully Tucker and Fox News will have the courage to do the right thing.
