    when discussing raising the mariginal tax rate 70% Cooper really should have to say “disclosure: I’m literally a Vanderbilt”

    I love Anderson Cooper's "are you sure you really want to do that" tone in response to a set of programs attempting to head off global catastrophe via

    I forgot to mention that most of these shitheads, if not all of them made the SAME hand-wringing arguments about anybody opposing or criticizing the Iraq war. They’re not actually concerned with ethics. If they were they’d have all gone away after their utter failure to show any.

    Still wild to me that "we have to wait for Robert Mueller to give us a reason to impeach the racist, openly corrupt, groping president who doesn't know anything and lies all the time" is the mainstream position of the Democratic Party.

    They get paid good money to do this “Look I’m on you’re side, but” routine to sap your energy and make you doubt yourself. It’s time we stop falling for it. We know we’re right, our causes are just as is opposing fascism, and this shit is life and death for many.

    Centrists and “moderate conservative” pundits say this shit not because they oopsy forgot all the immediately relevant historical reality that invalidates their claims, but because they are also against you. They don’t like you or your goals either and are actively opposing you.

    These people will grab any veneer of justified outrage they can to excuse their hate, but these people are largely motivated only by protecting their hierarchy and keeping you below them. Their rage is often inherently unjust no matter what they claim you did to justify it.

    I heard this shit from then-centrists when I was young. That the reason conservatives were violently homophobic now and hated me and wanted to kill me was only because the “far-left gays” were so ostentatious and “made us look bad.” Yea, not falling for that shit ever again.

    Oh no what if we provoke the people whose only reason for living is to tell you they’re provoked as a way to justify the fascist shit they always do anyway.

    I love when people bemoan something as a “gift to the republicans” as if those people aren’t exclusively motivated by their anger over imaginary shit. Even when they say it’s over a real thing it never actually is. Just stop listening to them. 🙄

    The right-wing conspiracy theory that @Ocasio2018 is secretly wealthy reveals their deep discomfort with class mobility. With all the lectures about bootstraps, conservatives don’t believe a poor person can ever be their equal. She MUST be a rich girl in disguise.

    the "conservatives are pissed about AOC dancing" thing is, at the very least, a nice demonstration that it is impossible to appease these dudes for those they hate, they will hate for any reason whatsoever the idea of "what if it alienates conservatives tho?" like what doesn't

    Mike Rowe is by far the most overlooked rightwing grifter. Climate denial, runaway anti-intellectualism posing as working class straight talk, Koch-backed astroturfed "safe space" obsessive, on Fox News 900X a day, ex-TV pitchman & opera singer playing everyman. Grift game is 💯.

    Uh, yea, I dunno. I’m really bad at social shit and Twitter mostly interests me because it’s so weird. I don’t know if there’s a better place to post stuff like that, but I don’t think I’m going to start a blog any time soon, so. Feel free to suggest something I guess?
