Unfortunately, they can do quite a lot of damage before they fail.

We really need to understand that Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show.

We’ve mythologised fascists to the point we’ve made recognising them difficult.

I could literally live on plain potatoes for the rest of my life and I’d be fine with it. My ancestors must have been as culinarily boring as possible.

Oh wow, she’s beautiful!

Is there a /c/supermodelcats?

e: sadly, not yet

I told you there were monsters under my bed, dad.

Ah. Peace at last.

Pretty sure the torts in those photos are plotting assassinations. You can see it in their eyes.

Contact them. Flood their inboxes, chats, and phone lines.

Worse, Project 2025 wasn’t written by one guy, but by a large team of people (mainly the Heritage Foundation and a handful of related groups). This plan was generated by groups of idiots, by a coordinated conservative ‘think tank’.

Many of the problems you pointed out aren’t bugs to them, they’re features. Their goals are very misaligned from ours. If you see it through their lens – of accelerationist dominionism – many of those points aren’t problems, but methods to reshape society to serve their particular goals.

For example, they want all of public education to collapse so that all education can become evangelical church-based. Teachers shouldn’t need to be certified beyond a religious education. They’re already very fond of spinning up universities and giving people the flimsiest of PhDs. Look at the number of Christian authors with ‘Dr’ before their name, then see where they got their doctorate and what it’s in. They do not care about education, except that kids should be able to read the bible and learn extra things for common professions, like working with numbers. If all teachers are housewives with training in the bible and the 4Rs, they think that’s a good thing.

They want to put the lower classes in their place, and that includes religiously. This is pretty clearly a blueprint for a christofascist utopia.

e: links. Also, many in the groups associated with this project are self-avowed dominionists.

Did you know your anus has taste receptors?

You’re welcome.

Not right now, I’m sorry. I’m working on other platforms, though, and will post as soon as I have them sorted, thanks!

where are you looking, specifically?

What’s the over/under on Polio for 2026?

He’s lowered prescription drug prices by 1500%, too.

Like numbers mean anything to this deranged ape.

I was in that scene in the 80s. Been thinking about it a lot lately, it’s hard.

Bon Jovi’s crew had a designated chaperone, and I thought that was weird at the time. It was cool, though. I do appreciate it now. They wouldn’t allow the drugs or the sex – some roadie crews had that, and others didn’t, there was none of that (eta: the really bad stuff) in my circles, but I heard about the bad ones. I was like 15 at that time.

I’m not trying to silence anyone. Quite the contrary – it’s past time to do something about this.

It’s too late for that. Fascism doesn’t care about laws, only loyalty.

I was thinking the bear belonged to window guy. That the guy jumping out the window was that dumb kind of tough that does reckless things like jumping out glass windows and riding a bear.
Definitely wouldn’t have got it without the context.

e : and I thought the joke was that’s how dumb-tough guy thinks he has to evacuate a building, because that’s how it’s done, like in movies.
So there was a punchline in my head, but it was quite wrong.

Anyone else see a red circle at their feet, or is that just me?

Well, yeah. Regulations are a major part of society, and a major reason we tend to come together. Yet another reason libertarianism is misguided.

You literally can do that.

Why do people seem to think this is impossible?

What’s changed? Some parts of that life are sometimes illegal, but most people haven’t been against it like this.

What’s different?
