these ones

oh we can get even more specific than just a list of billionaires:

here are all of the scum who control oil, coal, and natural gas

here are the ones who run the factories

and here are the ones who extract the raw resources that the others need to make it all work

23,000 people are reblogging a hit list

"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.

failed espionage...

Someone asked for my pronouns the other day, and nobody ever asks, so in a flustered moment of weakness I replied "Oh, I see you've sensed my queer energy", like some kind of dungeon warlock

A comic about the spectrum of responses to stress - we talk alot about the more extreme ends of this and trauma, but the more subtle and every day responses can be harder to spot. if we can understand our own and other’s responses better, problems Are easier to confront and blaming is less likely to happen :) hope it’s helpful!!

he also founded the gravel institute which sole purpose is to shit on prager u

this is such an insane thing for the president of the united states to say as justification for gun control like literally the least reassuring statement possible

I mean, he's not wrong, it's just very bad optics or whatever. And yeah, not reassuring.

I was going to ignore this, but upon reflection I am actually pissed off enough not to.

Biden was not trying to be "reassuring". He was speaking dismissively of a particularly idiotic pro-Second Amendment argument, namely that Americans need powerful weapons in order to be prepared to rise up via militias and overthrow a tyrannical government. This is an old argument and it has been rendered increasingly more ridiculous by the reality of the U.S. military's overwhelming firepower. But conservatives still make the argument, because their base of gun nuts loves it and they have never learned not to play with fire.

This is not Biden saying "worry not America, we have the means to destroy all who oppose us". He is saying "do not waste my time with foolish arguments grounded in eighteenth century logic". The reality is that the government possesses overwhelming firepower, and whether that is a good thing or a bad thing (and I'm definitely not saying it's a good thing), it would be utterly disastrous if private citizens had the ability to form militias that could truly match it. I should not have to explain to you why; if you don't get it, we cannot be friends.

But beyond that, look at the way this information is being presented. It's an image without a link, so there's no way to see Biden's remarks in context or to evaluate his tone, unless you actually go searching for it yourself. And I know that you haven't.

Furthermore, look at the source. The thumbnail is from Fox News, which should already be sending up alarm bells for any one who knows the first thing about the American news media landscape, namely that Fox is and always has been an organ of the Republican party and will reliably present Democratic politicians in an unflattering light. I understand that not all of you are old enough to remember Fox in the days of the Bush administration or even the Obama administration, but I know you remember the Trump administration and you have no excuse for not knowing how these people operate. Learn your history.

But the source of this tweet is not Fox News, per se. It's the Post Millenial, and I quote from wikipedia:

"The Post Millennial is a conservative Canadian online news magazine started in 2017. It publishes national and local news and has a large amount of opinion content. It has been criticized for publishing COVID-19 disinformation and for its opaque funding and political connections."

As for the tweet itself, it was made by disclose.tv, a site that is also home to vaccine disinformation and other conspiracy theory content.

Now, let me digress for the briefest of moments. I argued against giving Biden the nomination. I am aware of all his faults. I voted for him with full awareness that we did not share all the same priorities, and that some of his positions were contrary to mine. But as unfortunate as it is to have to make choices like that, it is downright infuriating to see people so invested in the "Biden is just Blue Trump" narrative that they'll suck blindly at the teats of the conservative media sphere that has, as an overriding agenda, the support of politicians like ACTUAL TRUMP.

This tweet was designed to make Biden look like a militaristic tyrant, and you fell for it. It distorted the truth, and you couldn't tell the difference, because at some point you decided that positive news was propaganda but negative news was unquestionable.

You are not immune to propaganda. STOP. BEING. SUCKERS.

I really should've paid more attention here. Or at least I should have a tag for news without context.

Tbh I shared because I was amused, but this is much better analysis than I would've produced, so thanks!
