    OP’s account is less than 24 hours old and already contains two articles from nonreputable sources and a complaint urging people not to trust the reputability watchdog. Even if I am overreacting, that’s a bad look.

    Also, nobody said it has to be state sponsored. Nongovernmental actors propagandize shit all the time. People do it all the time for free in my home country, and I guarantee you’ve experienced the negative effects of it, because this is why you hear things about American conservatives every day.

    A citizen who cannot trust their news cannot act. And a citizen who cannot trust an independent fact checker cannot trust their news.

    I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.

    OP and others like them are seething at the fact that disinformation is more difficult now, you used to be able to post whatever insane bullshit you wanted and people might engage with it, now you’ve got a great big old banner at the bottom of your post telling everyone exactly how much bullshit you’re spewing.

    They’ve been outed, so now they’ve taken to attacking the credibility of their watchdog, because if they want people to continue to engage with their propaganda then people need a credible reason to distrust MBFC.




  • Different child, I think. Vivian Wilson is Musk’s trans child who has disowned him. She’s 20 now. I don’t know what her birth name was but “X AE A-XII” was the one born in 2020 that was all over the news for having an absolutely insane name.

    Though most of the rest of his kids names aren’t much better. “Techno Mechanicus Musk” is in that list, as is “Exa Dark Sideræl Musk”. He has 11 children and counting, and their names have gotten increasingly more unhinged as time goes on. So for all I know Vivian did have some insane name that she abandoned.

    Anyway, she changed her last name and disowned her father when she came out as trans and he responded by posting all over Twitter that she had been, and I quote, “killed by the woke mind virus”. As in he literally told the world his child was dead, rather than publicly accept his daughter as the person she is.


  • And just to give you an idea of how things used to be, Taft finished his 45 minute speech after getting shot. THEN he figured “Eh, may as well go to hospital. Got nothin else planned for today.”

    Yep, Teddy Roosevelt did something similar. Got shot square in the chest at the beginning of his speech, determined via his hunting knowledge that if he wasn’t coughing blood (he wasn’t) then he was probably fine, bullied the Secret Service into not harming the shooter, finished his speech, then went to the hospital.

    I know I would never be that much of an absolute badass, but I also know these are the sort of people that Trump is trying to compare himself to and coming up woefully short.











  • That was a citizen, not a politician, and therefore had no say in right-wing policy or size of government.

    I don’t mean individual voters, I mean “the right” as a bloc, i.e. Republicans. Because they’ll tell you all day long that they pine for a smaller government, while signing off three bills increasing government presence at the Mexico border, or creating a new task force for illegalizing trans folks, before they even finish lying to you about it. And folks vote for them because of their lies.

    I have other separate issues with them trying to destroy all the actually useful government entities such as the EPA and the FDA and the post office, but shit, at least that is faithful to what they claim their goals to be.

    But for the entirety of my life the right wing has been clamoring constantly about “muh small government” while actively working to stick their governmental noses directly into every single person’s business. They’re liars and crooks. And events like the Killdozer Incident happen because of their lies and crookedness.
