Stop! Just stop. This is all just a spin job. Stop using the words of the people and quoting them. This is just an attempt to change the narrative. I don’t know how anyone can follow this spaghetti logic!

Kash Patel, is a father, an American. You can not do this to him!

I disagree with this hate speech stance - however I am happy to look the other way while the left takes some of their own medicine. We ate the bow to BLM, Covid shaming, arresting parents at school board meetings and whatnot - now STFU and show some basic human decency or lose your job and get harassed by the FBI is exactly what they asked for. Wrong, yes. Karma? Also yes.


But you can't say conservative commentators are complicit.

"The Constitution is burning, not because Trump lit the match, but because every institution that was supposed to be protecting it is throwing gasoline on the flames to prove they're on the right side... Institutions are handing over the inches before anyone asks for them, and no opposition is emerging... In 1933, institutions had to be broken; in 2025, they're breaking themselves. What took months in 1933 is happening in hours in 2025."

"The Unites States is now firmly in the 6th stage of the 7 Steps towards Authoritarianism... Stage 7 is consolidating power in a one party rule, controlling the executive, legislative, judicial, and the (no longer free) press... We are now only one step away (but just about there) from Authoritarianism in the United States."


(Note: The Free Press (Bari Weiss' rag) is likely being acquired by David Ellison's Paramount Skydance and PS is also looking to acquire Discovery Channel/Warner Bros. At this point, there is not much independent, free press remaining.)

Welcome to the new Age, to the new Age (of Authoritarianism)...

It's too bad we aren't allowed to call him a fascist, because this feel pretty fascisty.

He's pretty indisputably a fascist, but even more than that, he's an idiot who doesn't understand how anything works. Fascism is pretty profitable for the richest people in America, so he's been enabled to get his way. Obviously, house representatives cannot be impeached. Of course the constitution is meaningless to him and the Republican party so it is always wait and see.

indisputably?
You're clearly ignoring the entirety of what fascism is composed of and relying on your skewed interpretation of a single tenet (MAGA-nationalism). It seems that your feelings are getting in the way of the facts.

What are these facts you do speak of?

Sorry MAGA but facts don't care about your feelings. Trump is a fascist by the books.
I’ll bet you’re a hit on blue sky.

Which core tenet of fascism does MAGA not comprise? As the fat pedophile attempts to crush freedom of speech there isn't anything. He's busy now with anti-democratic redistricting to take seats away from the opposition party, is a warmonger, the cult of personality, the anti-modernism, the xenophobia, the conspiratorial "great replacement theory", just about everything.

Welcome to the new Age, to the new Age (of Authoritarianism)...

One of the major problems with postmodernism (which characterizes the contemporary left in America and other nations), is that it is above all relentless in destroying all institutions. Basically, anything more progressive/evolutionary than sticks and stones and a series of grunts is seen as horribly oppressive and in need of dismantling. The more primitive and infantile we become, the more noble we become in the eyes of leftists.

What I keep getting from you is:
1) You hate fat people.
2) You assume anyone who bangs chicks in late adolescence is sexually fixated on prepubescent children.

At least you're not "body-postive." Those people are dumb as fuck.

both sides exhibit these behaviors. to name a few:
  • Crushing freedom of speech: see Missouri v. Biden (2023), an injunction was issued to restrict white house officials from pressuring platforms due to 1A concerns from COVID censorship
  • Anti-democratic redistricting: both NY and MD (D states) attempted gerrymanders so extreme that courts struck them down as unconstitutional
  • Warmongering: Syrian airstrikes, toppling of Libya, drone daddy obama
  • Cult of personality: Kamala is so brat. Uncle Tim. Dark Brandon. Ds tried to do it too, just weren't as effective
  • Conspiratorial narratives: Russia election collusion, Hunter laptop as Russian disinfo.
i'm not denying the Trump admin acting badly. Plenty of examples there. But let's be fair: both sides behave badly.

Trump plans to increase the cost of H1B Visas x100. Of course the kicker is that the executive branch will retain the right to waive this fee at its own discretion.
(c) The restriction imposed pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not apply to any individual alien, all aliens working for a company, or all aliens working in an industry, if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines, in the Secretary's discretion, that the hiring of such aliens to be employed as H-1B specialty occupation workers is in the national interest and does not pose a threat to the security or welfare of the United States.
AKA just another way for Trump to try and strong arm any company he wishes into capitulating with whatever he desires. Or a nice way to collect donations at meme coin dinners.

Postmodernism is an intellectual movement characterized by skepticism of universal truths, challenging "grand narratives" (large-scale, overarching explanations of the world) and questioning the objectivity of knowledge. It argues that reality is a subjective social construction, and that concepts like truth, reason, and progress are not absolute but are influenced by power structures and cultural perspectives. Postmodernists emphasize multiple perspectives, diversity, and deconstructing underlying assumptions to reveal hidden power dynamics, often using irony, subversion, and playfulness in their approach.

It's a great analysis framework for deconstructing things... Why are you focused on "that it is above all relentless in destroying all institutions?"

The only destroying of institutions I see these days btw, is being done by DJT and his admin.
