People talk a lot about Hillary Clinton infamous “Pokémon Go to the Polls” remark, but she repeatedly suggested banning “violent” video games through her 2015-2016 campaign. That was undoubtedly a factor in GamerGate/ the alt-right shift among mainstream gaming and internet culture at that time. I found out that Hillary held this position from mainstream internet memes.

I don’t think the significance of this issue can be understated, given Gen Z’s rightward shift in 2024. Feminists are gonna vote Dem, Bible-Thumpers are gonna vote Republican; it’s the politically-indifferent population that decide elections.

Third time’s the charm!

It’s very disappointing how far removed from reality American politicians with only a few exceptions are.

They’re not ignorant. She’s not ignorant. Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State under Obama, and occupying Israel (“America’s greatest ally”) was brutalizing Palestinians during that administration, too. She absolutely knows what’s been going on.

Statements like Hillary Clinton’s are meant to make Palestinian support seem infantile to the public, because pro-Israeli folks Know they’ve lost control of the narrative. Israel and its supporters can’t beat the facts, so they’re making absurdist claims like these to discredit their opposition. Don’t get cocky, though. This is a page exactly out of the Trump campaign’s playbook, And it worked for his campaign. Our fight doesn’t end until Israel does.

Nope and I’m not applying it to “white citizens”; just “conservatives”. I’m saying to the "white lib"s and others that the violence is already here.

I take this meme to also point out that a fascist could just not follow elections, or call them off entirely. Adolf Hitler, the man in the image, called of elections under guise of security. Yeah, you vote against 'em, but then they refuse to leave.

“BannedVoice” pointed out that this didn’t happen in 2020, but I’d point out that then Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, as well as a fair number of Republican politicians, were what you’d call “Tea Party” or neoconservative. Kevin McCarthy, as well as just about every one of these “moderate” Republicans, have been chased out of the party, largely because of their refusal to bow to MAGA orders. The Republican Party of 2020 is not the Republican Party we have now. It’s loyalists all the way through. Remember what happened with the Epstein files?

except for all the white conservatives that stormed the Capitol on Jan 6th, 2021; commit acts of violence against Democrat politicians; make reports and call “wellness checks” on others; commit or support police brutality; defend ICE abductions and trafficking…

As a passport holder myself, that was my plan. This article has me wondering if we’d still be charged the fee. TSA is notoriously stupidly incompetent, and I wouldn’t put it past this system to be giving kickbacks to agents.

Why are you opposed to Costco? My understanding was they’re one of the few ethical businesses. Costco has stayed committed to inclusiveness unlike Walmart/Target; and has a good relation with their union. The only strike against them I heard of was them no longer stocking Plan B, but I think that’s more because it’s a prescription drug in a big-box retailer. Their model of bulk-packaging at a discount should be real valuable for struggling USAmericans, especially families.

only one way to find out!

The ruling could determine whether access to the internet—today’s lifeline for education, work, and civic life—can be taken away as punishment for digital misdeeds

And this is how we get a CCP Digital Firewall. Combine this with the Flock cameras, Ring doorbells, and years of data networks collecting information on us for advertising, and I do not see this going well at all.

“Nothing in the constitution says internet use is a right”

It was already clear Big Tech needed to burn for this to be over, but this is just another reason to add to our push.

Keep track of every company that airs ICE/Military ads in 2025. Amazon does it through Twitch. I wouldn’t be surprised if Meta has some. They all need to collapse.

There is no reason to keep Spotify alive. Artists would make more putting their content on YouTube. This is a great opportunity for a streaming service with actually decent rates to spring up!

“Slower” implies you’re projecting the same end results. Do they think the missing numbers are just not using a computer at all? In the digital age? By far your largest numbers of actual Win11 migrators are companies whose tech policy is the CYA “update everything in case we get hacked”.

The common folk are not going to buy a new computer just to get a slower Windows installation. The people who migrate from Windows 10/7 holdouts are going to be migrating to Linux.

The proof

So plenty of people have pointed out this tweet is forged, but similar sentiment has been shared by Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, and other “manosphere”/alt-right grifters.

I just want to put out clearly what these men mean, and what the dog-whistle here is: They are not saying a man with a penis fucking a woman’s pussy is gay. They are saying that a man following all the acts of affection and consideration to the physical and emotional wants and needs of your partner is: effeminate, inferior, non-masculine, and therefore “gay”. This is what incels argue when they complain about “modern women” and divorce and “gold diggers”. Being anything less than an egotist, entitle, aggressive prick is “gay”; and they know just as well as their critics, that few women would take a relationship like that.

The Turning Point USA/Heritage Foundation evangelical-type want women as Second-Class Citizens. The manosphere/incel type want women as property --[sold from father to husband] property. (Well, that’s the vision they sell. The grifters want men single and alone; shut-in and consuming their content.)

Fully agree… and I’m tired of being called extreme for it…

I was not expecting Mamdani to meet with Trump, but looking back it makes sense. Butter him up, and he’ll support anyone. If Elon Musk and JD Vance could get Trump’s support by glazing him, anyone can.

Trump has flip-flopped on positions repeatedly. Gun control, LGBTQ+ rights. It’s all ego for him. Always has been. I guess all you need to do is sweet talk him the right way.
