Choosing to fuck a piece of shit, when you know they’re a piece of shit, doesn’t make you a victim, and I’m not entertaining this pity party claim that everyone fucking a MAGA asshole is in an abusive relationship. They aren’t. But I feel for the ones who are.

Also you’re putting words in my mouth. I never said these men were “misunderstood”. I explained how they got there in the first place. Their beliefs and actions are clear as day. I do not sympathize with them more than abused women. But you don’t want to engage my actual points, you want to set up a straw man and pull your self-righteous, self-pitying manipulative bullshit instead, which is exactly what I knew would happen.

If you dine with a Nazi, you are a Nazi. If you befriend a Nazi, you are a Nazi. If you fuck a Nazi, you are a Nazi.

It’s not just about how you’re treated by these communities, it’s how they work mechanically.

For example, on reddit if you engage with these people, you will not only be deleted and banned from their sub, you will also be auto-banned by a bunch of opposing subs. You get one chance to participate before you need to circumvent the platform by creating a new account.

It’s simply not feasible to engage with them online in this way, and that’s ignoring the time and emotional energy you need to spend to do it in the first place.

The issue needs to addressed at a societal level. As a society we value all the wrong things in men and few of the right things. A lot of these guys end up in these communities specifically because they feel they can’t meet the ludicrous standards created for them, and place the blame solely on women instead of our wider culture.

I’ve called these assholes out on reddit to in the past. My reward was not only getting banned from their sub, but also getting auto-banned from a bunch of unrelated mainstream and progressive subs.

The idea that we can just go in and win an argument with these clowns is incredibly naive. I get the sense that the author didn’t actually try to do this herself. Social media is specifically built to push people into impenetrable bubbles because the algorithms intentionally favor combative tribalism, which drives up engagement.

But social media is only part of the problem. We have bigger issues related to how we think about men, and how we raise boys, that drive them into this mentality in the first place. Toxic masculinity is not new, it’s just been spread rapidly by technology.

I played hockey in high school and that was my experience too. Insanely toxic attitudes towards women. Yet we elevate these assholes because at least in the US we still value athletics in men more than anything else.

We should weaponize bots to do this. With AI it doesn’t even need to be real people anymore.

They’re using them against us and it’s long past time we responded in kind.

Most blue states already have a state guard. But their military capabilities are very limited.

The conservatives are at 46%.

Leave it to ratfucking Republicans to screw over young people so old millionaires can make more money.

I run it on ultra at 1440p with RT on high and FSR performance upscaling. I get 60 fps consistently with these settings, no drops. I have a 9900X/7900 XT so I imagine you’ll be able to get quite a bit more out of it.

I had to tweak quite a bit but it’s running at a stable 60 fps at 1440p now. I wouldn’t say I’m looking past it, just enjoying it in spite of the performance issues.

No they’re not lol. The lowest in the first 100 days maybe. Don’t just believe headlines.

Have a look at Truman’s approval numbers towards the end of his term.

Says the terrorist who supports murdering innocent people. You violent Israel lovers are no different from Hamas.

We don’t need fucking conservatives to win anything in this country. I’m sick of cowards acting like they just won by 10%. They barely won this election, barely won control of the house, and the main issue in the election for independents wasn’t trans people or minorities, it was the economy.

The economy sucks for ordinary people because the ultra rich have been raiding it since COVID. And everyone, even conservatives, know that’s true. Americans hate these big corporations. Slotkin and her allies know that, and that’s why they’re trying to distract from it.

It’s disgusting how ready some of you are to throw your own neighbors under the bus so you can try to win over a couple fascist votes… Who will never vote for you. You will never win them over. They aren’t going to believe that you suddenly hate gay people and minorities. You will just look like a dishonest weakling to them, and they’ll be right.

We will win the next election by targeting independents with an economic message. If you want to lose then go ahead and make it about “woke” like a complete coward.

She’s so full of shit. The number 1 issue in every 2024 poll of swing voters was the economy and inflation. That’s why Trump won. When people think the economy sucks, the incumbent party almost always loses.

All this bullshit about “woke” is just another attempt by the ultra wealthy to distract from economic issues, because they know the solutions for them hurt their bottom line. She and her GOP allies will do anything to stop us from improving labor rights and economic conditions for ordinary people.

She’s a lying weakling backstabber.

He’s concerned over leaks about his leaks. Literally.

Ah right, democracy didn’t immediately solve all problems so we should ban or murder all political opposition and install a one party dictatorship where I’m conveniently in charge of everything.

Sounds like something that totally benefits “the people”.

What a joke of a comment. They absolutely sought out living in a bubble, the same as everyone else. Stop pretending like people are kids who don’t pick and choose their news sources. We don’t live in Russia or China where the government controls 100% of the media. Stop bullshitting us with this pity party.

I feel zero sympathy for any maga voter. These fucking people shit all over us constantly, call for us to be murdered and sent to prison, but now I’m supposed to feel bad for them? Now I’m supposed to help them?

They can go fuck themselves. They are adults, not children, who dug their own grave, and now they get to deal with the consequences alone like they always wanted to.

You’re right, it’s such a satisfying motion. So glad I didn’t fall for the Tesla bs.
