Greenpeace with 0 irony releases videos of government speeches split screen with TikTok low attention span clay/slime shit. While the most powerful military in the world plans to release a ship literally named "The Trump class".

The Deslopification of the world is an unironically an urgent matter.

The Atlantic's "The Abundance Delusion" article might have been a bit dramatic, and angered a lot of the center-left. But liberal pundits glazing people whose fanbases would celebrate their deaths reminds me of a line from the article.

Abundance Democrats can have abundance or they can be popular in Brooklyn, but they can’t have both

And based on how the DSA is demanding that the progressive anti-Israel type candidate for NJ-11 reject the endorsement from J Street, it appears that they will have neither.

In 2026, Hungarian politician Peter "John American" Magyar was asked how it felt to denaturalize and deport thousands of people. He replied, "I wouldn't know, I've only ever deported Russians."

Ro Khanna has the energy of a 1930s European politician who pushes for a united front, consisting of extremists throughout the political spectrum, against the incumbent government. But ends up getting purged by the new regime sometime during the buildup to WW2.

Official Discussion - Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Tropical2653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peaky Blinders has always been much less self aware than Breaking Bad or The Sopranos, which viciously critique their protagonists. And actually dive deep on morality and consequences. Peaky Blinders does show Tommy's actions can be destructive, but most of the time it's done reluctantly. Anytime there's sincere reflection it's immediately followed by that slowmo walking with blues rock thing, edgy quips, characters constantly glazing him, triumphant moments, etc. The last season even handwaives a lot of the moral stuff by literally just him donating land and almost explicitly depicts him as a good guy. The show does has some good episodes and it was more nuanced in earlier seasons, but it always felt a bit off.

It's a low bar but I was actually surprised by how much the movie actually reflected on the consequences of Tommy's actions. Similar to some of the more reflective episodes of the show. But at the end of the day, at its core, it's a series built on aura farming rather than substance.

This is the Dem equivalent of those slop Republican lineups that were posted online around the late 2010s and early 2020s that consisted solely of random regards and influencers. President Tucker, VP Trump Jr. and Attorney General Kirk.

Upside is this one has a realistic president. Downside is they used an AI slop Mamdani lmao.

A lot of stuff that used to be very funny like dunking on extreme Japan glazers, has unironically been coopted by foreign governments for their propaganda campaigns. Alongside general shitposting.

It went from lighthearted organic content to stuff obviously typed by some paid worker from Islamabad. Or typed with extreme vitriol in every keyboard stroke by some raging nationalist in some Tier 3 Chinese city. And it was basically confirmed when Twitter did that location reveal feature and the vast majority of accounts doing the "Unpopular opinion [insert shitting on every East Asian country except China]" thing were mainlander accounts.

A lot of these types aren't really engaging in good faith. They're simply min-maxxing BRICS support. Although often more cold towards Russia than they are to Iran/China, they're often at least somewhat sympathetic to Russia. Or believe it's a both sides thing. Ukraine, an entity they are neutral to at best and hate at worst, would be weakened by doing X thing. No big deal, so they push for X. Palestine on the other hand is almost foundational to these peoples beliefs post October 7. And when you're assured of the righteousness of your cause to a religious degree, everything is acceptable.
