Considering that the Tea Party was a billion dollar astroturfing campaign by the Kochs and this AOC/sanders/omar/etc progressive movement (whatever we call it) is a fluke of popular resentment sneaking through the cracks of a sclerotic sheepdog institution, yes the Tea Party was more effective. It’s not about the individual personalities involved but rather why they’re there in the first place.

Everything you love will be turned against you for the benefit of the dominant ideology

“Modern John Brown would be Pete Buttigieg” is like some type of perverse blasphemy I don’t quite know how to digest. These tweets are genuine evil.

“Richard Spencer is pro-vaccine, atheist, pro-abortion, anti-war, pro-European unity, basically every rational/common sense position besides white supremacy. Always has been.”

oh whoops except that one little thing, teehee. further down

“He has some based positions…but for deeply and inherently racist reasons.”

you do not, under any circumstances, gotta refer to Richard Spencer as based. how are these people real

Wtf is a “sex class.” Rowling is so British she’s can only describe things in caste systems.

Also she just declared having androgyn insensitivity syndrome means you’re not a woman I guess. Do transphobes think people walk around with PCR equipment to analyze chromosomes before deciding which pronouns to use

oh shit oh fuck is the government using all those missiles we made for war??

Part of becoming an adult has been realizing nearly every celebrity is a horrible person

i mean this in the nicest way possible and I mean that it’s charming

a lot of these other instances feel like just kinda charming friendly middle aged people talking on Facebook. It’s kind of whiplash because I’ve been so used to the owl piss and pig shit style of posting we’ve cultivated and these folk are just pleased as punch with their spongebob and tom&jerry memes

I remember reading that when Utah did their ban on trans athletes in school sports, there was exactly one trans girl playing in a girls’ sport in the whole state. Exactly one. Statewide legislature passing laws focused on one person, a child.

All this scrutiny and transphobia is directed at literal children, many of whom might be the only trans athlete out of millions. Transphobia is such a disgusting thing to me, not only because of the chauvinism and bigotry, but because it’s just so senseless. Trans people are already rare enough as it is and also one of the most vulnerable populations in regards to poverty, assault, unemployment, etc. I’ve seen some statistics saying that only around 1,000 people in America initiate HRT per year. That should give an idea of just how rare and vulnerable trans people are. And now there’s a senseless cultural panic just to whip up a few more eyeballs on the spectacle?

Death to America

Oh this has got to be why he’s so prissy about the words gusano and cracker. I swear he’s convinced half of reddit that cracker is an unspeakable slur
