CW: This is a very difficult watch. If you have high blood pressure, maybe skip this.
Mehdi Hasan takes on the far right in one of those â20 vs 1â videos. His own channel, which (full disclosure) I do watch:
His gloves are off, his brain is on, and the Overton Window has slid so far to the right, itâs a real wonder that the 20 do not simply come at this man with knives and their own teeth. Ye gods heâs brave.
Ok, you saw my content warning and hopefully you have prepared yourself, so hereâs the material:
the full video:
The folks at The Bulwark have the tl;dr (a little glib and short):
And Tim Miller of same interviews Hasan after the⌠event:
With apologies for posting something this ugly, I feel itâs entirely within scope for this threadâŚ

âWe seek to create a decentralized movement, formed of various individuals and societies returning to the land,â RTLâs website says. âWe will promote strong families with common ancestry and raise the next generation in an environment that reflects our traditional values.â
Technically, thatâs 21 words, but I am sure with a little finagling it could be pared down to the necessary number.

I have a significant auditory processing disorder, so the idea that a 31-minute video is âshortâ has me chuckling, but what little I scanned has made me a huge fan of Mehdi Hasan. What a brilliant mind.

Jesus, this guyâŚ
WOW!!! Holy shit, what a fucker.
And I like how Mehdi handled him. âI donât debate a fascistâ. And then let him keep spewing his lies and then just stared him down at the end.

Obviously you have never met Gutsick Gibbon! She is a PhD candidate studying miocene apes who makes (i kid you not) 2-4 hour long videos discussing the latest fidings or debunking creationism. She is my hero!

So the claim is that the during the show âsexualized adult performers wore revealing attire and burlesque outfits while interacting with the children.â Itâs a bar. I really doubt there were children there in the first place, if there were they were there with permission of their parents, else I doubt the bar would have let them inside!
Then thereâs this:
The subpoena is asking [bar owner and Vero Beach vice mayor Linda] Moore to provide the following:
[âŚ]
Copies of any guest lists, reservation logs, ticket sales records, entry logs or other documents identifying who attended the performance
And exactly what is the justification for this? Is that even remotely legal? Werenât these the fuckers whoâve always whined about government overreach?

Moore told a local NBC affiliate she stood by the event, and said she will host it again next year. She stressed there was no age-inappropriate entertainment at the show during the period when youths were attending. She resisted public calls for her resignation over the issue.
âGay pride is all ages to a certain point in the evening. Iâve stated this again and again and again,â Moore said. âPerhaps it shouldnât have said âall agesâ on the flyer.â

Florida Attorney General harasses wine bar for violating a drag ban that judges already blocked
Apparently children were permitted at certain times, thus giving the fasc the wedge they wanted.

Iâm raising money as an emergency fund and for other expenses while I look for a new job. Unfortunately, voicing fully legal traditional right-wing political views results in real consequences. This is cancel culture and political discrimination on full display. I just went on The Rift TV where I shared my story of what happened.â

link is a 404.
just where does cornyn want this texass auschwitz? deep in the âpiney woodsâ, behind the âPine Curtainâ of klansmen and hate? would he prefer it be built in the panhandle, where the flatland vista allows sighting a non-white person from 1000 yards (through a night vision scope)?
just where? where in texass does cornyn think his concentration camp should be built?

My problem with their postmortem was âis it just me or does that guy strike you as not⌠neurotypical?â And the reply that many of them âdonât seem neurotypicalâ.
My motherfucking dudes. Sweet Jesus.
I mean⌠I would argue that technically these guys are indeed not neurotypical: they show many of the signs of psychopathy.
But hereâs the thing. I know what you meant by that âquestionâ, and it wasnât that.
So, on the one hand, yes. And on the other hand, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
