Yet again, itâs the failure to recognise that âthe leftâ is a broad and diverse collection of communities, where the only thing common to all of us is we donât want to live in a right wing world.
Anarcha-feminists and girlboss feminists will never agree on much, neither will pink capitalists and queer socialists, or Marxists, liberals and anarchists, but when faced with a common enemy we will come together to fight it.
As far as I can tell all the real leftist ideologies agree that human lives have value, even if they disagree on how to realize that. The right thinks only some do, and the far right thinks the rest have negative value.
Itâs a hellsite what pisses me off several times daily, but I still love tumblr.
The NYT keeps getting these things wrong. The lesson from Wicked is to not always believe the history written by the victors. Elphaba isnât a supervillain. And Elno isnât either - heâs manbaby, throwing fits and tantrums but doing the damage with the weight of hundreds of billions of $ behind it.
Heâs more Syndrome from The IIncredibles than Lex Luther.
If they didnât spend time on what a fraud âUniversity of Austinâ is, then 60 minutes is now an infomercial.

OK, I can kinda see the premise of this being true.
But what the hell is meant by this last paragraph?
Theyâre taking charge on their own initiative. I see them everywhere.

These serious people are the real deal, and donât have time for fluff. They are already detaching themselves from the businesses and institutions that dish out cotton candy culture.
Who are these people? It would have helped if he had given examples of who he thinks is such a serious person, because I donât âsee them everywhereâ any more than before
no accreditation
Oh, it will get accreditation from the department of education under *checks notes* the wrestling lady? Really??
Either he didnât want to offend anyone by mentioning some serious influencers and leaving many people out, or he just wanted to lament the times we live in and has no idea who is really serious. Todayâs most sober thinker can reveal himself to be a court jester in a few weeks.
I came across this article after reading another article that also lamented the era of influencers. The author pointed out that people who, by force of their jobs, like politicians and civil servants, have difficulty communicating with the public, who have become accustomed to the aesthetics of social media. The author jokes that those who want to implement public policies have to learn dance moves or funny pantomimes to use the TikToks that are popping up everywhere.
Can you imagine, for example, someone like Dr. Fauci or Dr. Thedros dancing to the latest pop idol as they Talk about the Coronavirus?
Although this worked in Argentina.
Good Morning America this morning said that Trump was assembling the most ideologically diverse cabinet in decades. The media has given up completely and decided to go full Trump to save their own asses, I guess. Jesus fucking Christ.
But it is diverse! Look, you have pretty far right, far right, and so far right canât see them over the horizon.
And every flavor of transphobe!
