@garfiald @hanny i'm gonna confess here that i actually became a leftist because of the memes

@hanny people are gonna oversimplify and misread theory no matter what. they have done for as long as theory has existed (every heard of uh socrates or whatever his name was). if it gets people to look up the actual ideas and get to think about them that seems to me to be a good thing.

I'm sure plenty of you have something like "read more theory" on your to-do list or New Year's resolutions. I'd be very surprised if this was the same on the other side.

Compare that to leftist spaces, where people are constantly worried that they might not know enough, constantly working to learn from each other, if not complaining that others in the community don't know as much as they should.

Simply put, no-one picks up a book by a conservative writer hoping to learn something.

pol, transphobe mention 

It doesn't matter if Jordan Peterson doesn't use any actual evidence, if his credentials are bogus, or if he isn't internally consistent nor ever actually puts forward any ideas. None of these things are important, because the function he serves is to reassure people that the things they feel are rational and that they don't have anything to worry about. This is also why conservative writing often veers explicitly into self-help, both are there to make people feel better

Show thread

The reason what few conservative intellectuals there are rarely have anything close to a coherent worldview is that the purpose of conservative writing is to create and spread rhetoric which justifies people's biases towards power. The point is not to figure out what to do, or what is happening, or to convince anyone. The point is to keep pushing people in the direction they are already headed for.

last pic of the idiot before i go home and dont see him for months again 😢

meta, pleroma, discourse 

i have thought long and hard about a solution for the conflict between the clashing cultures of mastodonians and pleromans, and i have come up with a solution that we all will find mutually agreeable

thats right, im talking about corner prophets, a project which organizes hip-hop concerts with mastodon and pleroma rappers with the stated intention of promoting peace and coexistence through the arts

the federation is nothing more than a group of loosely related warlords and their visciously loyal armies, vieing for control over the imperial palace

police 

Just saw some cops talking to a middle aged straight white couple. Wonder what they're doin 🤔
