freaky pronoun brigade

The most begrudging, perfunctory press of the Y key in human history

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Well Kazin, I'd love to explain to you what epitets I use for right wingers, but then the FBI would come pay me a visit.

Also, my favorite kind of person "What if we imagined a left without any ideals at all?"

Right! Just believe in nothing and be a completely self interested homo economicus who fills exactly the social role I want you to!

One problem with this "public figure" based split of comms is that I have no fucking clue who these alleged "public figures" are.

Sohrab Ahmari is an outspoken reactionary and an adult convert to Catholicism

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Yes, so why kazin retweeting him 🧠

[-] piccolo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Slightly off topic, but I cannot recommend enough Malcolm Harris's book Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World, if you're interested in tech at all. I'm almost done with the book and it's sooo good. He does an excellent job of writing a compelling narrative relating to the history of silicon valley, and to be honest it's been a real page turner despite being a dense history book.

Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials is also excellent

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

So a PatSoc, but somehow even shittier?

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, more like shitlib with atlanticist aesthetics. This + some nation articles say: leftist boomers/gen-x are not okay, their socdemery is millimeter thick, their comfy tenure is miles deep

(im scared to learn what angela davis thinks, ngl)

Ok but what if the left was more.. Right wing?

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago
[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

Imagine a left, but the right.

I want to exterminate the brutes and put all the ***s in the closet, but I do think socialism is a neat idea as long as its only for me. Oh also unhoused people, wood chipper, compost? Maybe?

Such a shame there's no word for this completely new idea.

Feline of the 23rd Freaky Pronoun Brigade reporting for duty, COMRADE! catgirl-salute

Private Feline! catgirl-salute Have you cleaned your sets pronouns this morning? Is that a spot of dirt i'm seeing on the y? catgirl-flop

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Shit, we're a paramilitary now? Do I get to leave but keep pronouns if I damage my body enough?

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

That tweet mkazin retweeted is pure NazBol shit.

[-] nandos_house_of_glues@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago
[-] M68040@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Imagine a left without the freaky pronoun brigade? Good luck, They'll have a very difficult time getting rid of me

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Obligatory reminder to read Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris.

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Dissent Magazine, I only checked them out once, the main article on their front page was about the fall of the Eastern bloc. Wasn't familiar with the author, so I googled her name. The first hit was to her profile on the NED page lol. Never gonna check Dissent Magazine again, they are what some term the "Compatible Left". Either directly funded by CIA, or serves the purpose of the US State Department.
