  • I definitely read that as a denegration, like it’s supposed to be a gotcha: you shouldn’t want to be gay, but now you read this and it’s too late, you’re gay, gottem.

    Even if it’s all “in-group” there can still be internalized homophobia and transphobia (I still catch myself with it too), so I wouldn’t consider gay jokes to be automatically okay just because it’s from someone LGBTQ+. The context and audience are extremely important.

    Tyler knew his audience was law enforcement, which is traditionally homophobic, so I read it as being a try at edgy ragebait.


  • Luigi bullet casings: clever, poignant in meaning, suggests he is well read and well developed in his ideology

    Tyler bullet casings: low effort meme slop, no coherent ideology

    It’s actually completely consistent with how the right often acts as a bizarro or distorted mirror reaction to the left. Like he wanted so badly to be the next Luigi, without understanding what exactly made Luigi so important and so popular. Irony shrouding how his social understanding only goes skin deep.

    Even if we’re celebrating the poetic demise of Charlie Kirk, none of us out here celebrating Tyler like we did Luigi.








  • Yeah it’s uncanny and unsettling to me that they’re holding signs exclusively in English. It’s almost too obvious an American media company printed these.

    Even in the videos the crowd is sounds bored and dead, repeating “we are Charlie Kirk”, nothing else.

    Compared to any protest from my little city, people are singing songs, banging drums, playing guitars cheering, waving every variety of homemade signs and flags, mostly hand painted, sometimes just on cardboard with sharpie.


  • “I left the left because the US might slaughter numerous humans daily but one white influencer getting murked is just one too for me. Nobody deserves that (unless they’re Palestinian/Russian/Chinese/Hispanic/Black/LGBTQ+/poor)”

    That sucks, I’ve met some good people in GW2, and definitely the gamer chuds too. What’s terribly ironic is that the developers themselves incorporated explicitly anti-facsist messaging into the Icebrood Saga, and if chuds had a shred of media literacy they would be boycotting it for being mega-woke.








  • This rant is special for the sheer amount of swill crammed into every sentence, but this one is extra special:

    communist xenophobia about “international capital” was supplemented with xenophobia against immigrants

    Immigrants have no power, they are vulnerable, and they are just looking for a chance to meet the basic human needs of their families.

    Western capital has (had) all the power, used it to exploit everyone else and commit every international crime and human rights violation possible, when they already possessed more wealth than they could ever spend in their lifetime on the most hedonistic luxuries imaginable.

    That’s like the kentucky everclear of slop right there.
