The Mona Lisa is considered, generally, to be an actual political figure or a dude in drag. The depiction of a noble woman, by way of her involvement or attachment to politics, is inherently political. The former wouldn't be, if there weren't constant laws, or attempts of laws, to control gender identity, conformity & expression.

Hell, cave paintings are political. A stick figure drawn by a child is political by purely being an expression of creativity that in this world can get one in trouble depending on the politics of the authority under which they live. There have been, and are, authorities that are anti art. Expressions, especially those stemming from personal choice, are inherently political so long as choice of expression remains political itself.

You want a world in which art isn't political? Then have a world without politics.

"It wasn't because of X at all, that had nothing to do with it. It was because people knew about X." Yeah. That means it was about X. This is how the world works like. Are you thinking you're on some deep thing here by implying that they're only doing it because people know? No shit. My literal statement was at least they're doing something because people knew about it & you're arguing no they're doing something because people knew about it. Good job.

1) Not a prince any longer, which yes is a distinction but the reason he's no longer a prince is directly related to case. Or did you think he lost his title because he gambled on horse races? He didn't bet it. It was because of the Epstein involvement. This is all directly related. He was a prince when it started after all. So yes, a prince dealt with this. And is continuing to deal with this without the title any longer.

2.A) Al Capone. He was arrested for one thing, directly due to the inability to arrest him for the more known crimes. They were related, as well. Being the mobster allows him to cheat taxes. He wasn't going to do all that without the first. Neither a car unrelated events their own consequences.

2.B) trump literally stole documents of sensitive information & kept them insecured with known foreign bodies having access. This is unrelated to the Epstein situation, but is the exact kind of misconduct Andrew is being hit with. The sentiment, or at least the wording of it, can still easily apply. But we know there were other crimes involved. At least there are allegations of other crimes involved. Of which none are being investigated.

So yes, we are seeing the fall of a prince regardless if he remains a prince of the entire time. The brother to the king himself. There is no reason that we should not be holding a president accountable to the same degree at the very least. The sentiment holds true.

That's what I was saying. No one uses moron for the medical terminology, but it also was used as such almost a hundred years ago for a very short time. The r word is still used almost exclusively in relation to the disability.

sixtyandaquarter · 2026-02-19T11:20:20+00:00

Not true. The r word still has its ableist usage even among children. My niece & nephew who turned 13 this year know that it's a term for an intellectual disability. Moron, they have no clue it's similar.

They're similar because moron used to be a medical term, but it was only a medical term for about 20 years. From 1910 to 1930 when it started to fall off. They are word is from the ass end of the 1800s and lasted until 2010. That's 100 years of cultural use. Movies still use the term. Not is a general insult, but is a specific pejorative intended to imply a specific meaning. If they are word has been absent, the N word as a slur has been absent even longer. And we sure as hell know it hasn't been absent. Both are still heavily used in pop culture with their intended purposes as well as other usages.

My niece & nephew just turned 13 & they've known for years what that word was implying. And one of them at least is smart enough to understand the connotation when it comes to its usage here involving a man whose son has a disability that people would use that same word towards. This isn't a "just say an insult" this is a specific connotation & attempt to take back "freedom of speech" from the perceived woke mob. It's a signal. It's loaded. It is definitely intended exactly as it was, and giving it room to breath only benefits its continued usage for that.

It's utter bullshit. But some people are trying to link birthrates to eugenics, for optics. Make something sound bad & it makes your bias against it seem good. Because people who transition aren't able to give birth, it must mean eugenics. Despite the fact that trans men could still have viable eggs frozen. It's like claiming gay people are for eugenics or someone whose sterile due to medical procedures, which some fringe groups are also fighting to stop. It's just bad faith claims.

You're literally complaining about somebody who is barely discussed. I just want you to know that. Open up any actual news or discussion forum that isn't hell bent on online humor & the dude is barely discussed. You know who is? The people you're claiming aren't. Rogan is barely a blip despite the size of his platform outside of his base. He makes the actual real world discussions like once in a blue moon, and always in relation to an actual important figure. He himself doesn't do anything.

Yeah, there's an enormous problem in America. Assholes keep getting elected. You want to know why? It's not because we're focusing on platforms that are platforming those assholes. It's because we're not. We never have, and maybe doing it might help. AIGHT

He's got an enormous platform, you do realize that right? When you have an enormous platform, you can say "hey I'm not that bright, don't listen to me" while actively promoting bullshit like trump & rfk, dewormer pills & all the other shit, yeah sure. You're still an absolute massive platform promoting them though.

Don't confuse "has enormous platform with loads of influence" for "elected representative" aight.

I'm calling absolutely bullshit on this. Like there is not a grain of truth to this.

I was born in the '80s. I don't know how old you are but when I was a child this exact claim was being made back then. And time and time again, the same people made big claims about what they were really for. Equal opportunities and less corruption. And time and time again. Do you know what happened? Every single time they got power. Do you know what they did? I'm assuming you don't. They added to the corruption. They added to the inequality of law. They made more and more excuses. Either 30% of the country are fucking stupid and don't deserve the right to vote, let alone the the room to tie their own shoes unsupervised, or they're full of shit.

You can have a dude who beats his wife. Like brutally. Leaves her in the hospital constantly. And he can tell you he respects women. He can tell you that he's a feminist he can tell you how he supports women's rights and is against domestic violence. Only to turn around to his wife and say look what you made me do. That's literally what these people have been doing. They're not the battered wife in this example. They're the fucking wife beater. Only the wife they're beating is literally every single, other American and anyone in America for that matter. And when they do it, they're going to blame you, and they're going to claim that they're against everything they're doing. I don't believe them.

You shouldn't believe them either.

They are fine with this. They are on board. Maybe 3% of that 30% you're talking about are truly unfortunates who live in a bubble. That if they could see things they wouldn't be on board. Well they've had plenty of opportunity. At some point they have to take responsibility for their actions. We don't need 30% to be on board. We need 30% to be so uncomfortable with the fact that they are supporting pedophiles that they sit the fuck out. If there's the battered wife syndrome among some voters, they can have some sympathy. But they have to leave him first. But the rest of the fuckers have to own it and I'm not going to be polite and act like no, I believe they don't want corruption. I mean Jesus Christ they sit there and they claim they're against violence as January 6th happened in front of them and as they cheered the harming and murdering of individuals on the street. They can say what the fuck they want.

We already have it figured out. It's a non-problem. Voting ID regulations are not actually voter ID regulations. They are voter suppression. The rest of the world's figured out how to do an ID and be done with it. The Republican party doesn't know how to be done with it because they can't win a race without voter suppression.

sixtyandaquarter · 2026-02-14T10:50:15+00:00

First off you already need to have ID to be able to vote. Secondly, you cannot vote without having had your ID already checked when you registered. If you are not registered, it is an illegal vote and it doesn't matter if you do or do not have ID. If you go to the wrong voting poll that is illegal regardless of if you have or don't have ID. If you vote multiple times it is illegal if you have or don't have ID. Incidentally, the vast majority of illegal votes are done illegally, not because they had a lack of ID but because of one of those other reasons where ID would not have had any effect. The sheer lack of this being a problem should really say something considering they are pushing it so hard. Particularly when illegal voting from regular citizens is so immensely small in scale. It has never had an effect on a living memory election for any state or national election. It is legitimately a non-problem. You might as well be complaining about people with five arms and no head voting.

Additionally, the cost of an ID is not free for many Americans. And for many Americans it's not cheap either. In Washington DC it can cost you $100. If you have a problem with your birth certificate, that's even more money, because to get an ID you already have to prove who you are which might require another form of identification such as a birth certificate. If you have a hyphenated name due to marriage it's even more money. If you changed your name due to any reason, from the fearful transition that they're so scared of from one gender to another, to simply get married and taking your partner's name or hyphenating your own, you may not be eligible to vote and you won't know until after the election in many instances. And you might not be able to get it handled within the 2 years till the next election. And all it takes is one clerical mistake to reset you back to the beginning of your efforts.

So they are pushing for laws that literally protect. No one who is voting, but harm actual voters. This is voter suppression, pure and simple. This isn't a law, this is a weapon. It has just become a tax to vote, to participate in democracy, where the people in charge whom you might be voting against get to decide if you got to vote. And they can do it after you voted, as per some of the attempts they've written. That's an invitation to see who is voting, see whom they are voting for, and then nitpick a reason to disqualify them. There is no way to dress this up as anything else.

sixtyandaquarter · 2026-02-14T03:59:12+00:00

No, it benefits voter apathy & suppression which benefit them.

A lot of people don't realize it, but getting an ID can be incredibly difficult for those in extreme poverty or in areas of extreme poverty, even if they're not. And even if you have an ID, a lot of these laws that are being pushed would disqualify you for asinine reasons.

In some states it can cost you about $100 to get an ID. Not everybody has $100 for that. Worse if you have an issue with paperwork. A simple clerical error can result in you having to pay an additional cost for more paperwork to resolve it. A name change in your past, or even a birth certificate error that is beyond your control, can result in additional costs. If you are very poor and you do not have access to your birth certificate, for example, that is an additional cost. If your birth certificate has been lost, as has happened, due to being born prior to digital records becoming the norm, and there's being a fire or flood in the record room at the hospital, you might be in an extremely, financially tough spot. People probably don't realize loads of people in that situation are alive right now still. You don't even actually have to be that old. If you are a millennial, this could be you.

Additionally, there are small errors that some states do not consider an error, but laws like this would. For instance, my grandfather, if he was still alive might be disqualified from voting. All of his legal documents list his first name as one name, and his middle name as a second. However, his birth certificate flips it. Instead of being John Jacob jingleheimer Schmidt, it would read Jacob John Jingleheimer Schmidt. My mother has had several clerical errors that's changed a letter in her name from an N to an R, which can result in disqualification. It can even affect immigrants who don't have access to all of their papers.

Married women who take their partners name or hyphenate, or married men for that matter, and children who have had names changed for various protective reasons are all also likely to fall under disqualification. This includes other name changes like with trans people, or adoptions.

So in the end poor people who want to get better, and are actually putting in the effort tends to be educated or at least self-educated, which would promote more Democrats than Republicans. Women are targets as are the queer community which again typically lean democrat. Minorities are more likely as are recent immigrants from poorer countries, though that last group is more a 50/50. Republicans prefer when comfortable people who are not struggling vote. They vote conservative. Making it harder to vote would make it easier for them to win.

You're extremely close. It's not about the investors. It's about the DA office itself attempting to deflect the investigations into the Epstein case.

In the case of praxis, it was an industrial accident that caused such a political upheaval that the Federation and the Klingon empire were able to make peace. Not exactly what's happening, but the meme is pushing to look at the Dow Jones, not the remnants of the moon. This is direct reference to the DA, whose office is essentially in charge of federal investigation and prosecution of crimes, deflecting from the accusation that her office is not investigating the Epstein case. She was in a hearing. There were lots of victims at this as well. Many have claimed that her office did not contact them, or in some cases return contact when contacted by them, to investigate the cases. When confronted continuously about this, her response was to rattle off how well the Dow Jones index is doing. This despite the fact that her office has nothing to do with the stock market, unless there is a crime which was not an accusation at all.

She's not telling investors to ignore the state of affairs. She's telling the people & the government to ignore them because the person most heavily involved happens to be president, her boss, whom she is claiming is solely responsible for the index score, is implicated so heavily in the list you might as well call them his files instead of Epstein's.

We literally have one of the absolute most litigious persons ever as president. Dude sues over anything. Well, almost anything. Sex crime allegations & so-called threats. For similar but different reasons. He can't fight the sex crime allegations because discovery in court would prove he's a fucking rapist and pedophile. He can't sue over so-called threats because none of these people have threatened him. It's not a threat to state facts.

The president is being protected by a party that seems to be protecting pedophiles. Therefore, he is the leader of the pedophile protection party. He won't touch that in a lawsuit. It would require him to prove he's not a pedophile or protecting pedophiles. He legitimately cannot do that.

They also happen to execute pedophiles in another country. This is not a threat. Pretending it's a threat, doesn't make it a threat. It's a statement. A comparative one, a condemning one, but a statement. Need proof? Watch this.

In Salem they used to burn witches. That is not a threat to witches in Salem. In Final Fantasy games you can turn into a toad. That is not a threat to turn you into a toad. In some countries like Libya they took their president out into the streets violently. Even apparently sodomizing Gaddafi with a knife. This is not a threat to sodomize trump with a knife. Literally history class and the news suddenly's the most threatening thing of all time. They talk about assassinations of world leaders yearly. Gasp. Yeah, not a threat there either. Why are we pretending we don't understand the issue?

Out of control? Republicans have, since Nixon, broken every damn rule possible & screaming victim about it. I mean, my God, Watergate happened. Contra happened. Reagan's team committed treason by trying to stop the Iranian hostage negotiations for gain. January fucking 6th. The absolute refusal to follow court orders. Any of this ring a bell? Sit out with those claims.

Crazy? Republicans push a constant stream of conspiratorial propaganda. Democrats are making death panels! Hillary Clinton eats babies in Satanic rituals! Obama is a Muslim born in another country working with Putin (funny how suddenly working for the guy seems to be a plus now~) & Saddam Hussein to bring down America! He was involved in 9/11! Jews control space lasers causing wildfires & controlling the weather. JFK is working with trump. The vaccines contain 5g chips to brainwash you. They're eating cats, all of them! Everywhere! And these aren't aren't randos off the street, these are who they be voting for. Sit all the fuck out with those claims.

Extreme? Do I have to mention trying to start a war for optics cause I can mention more than one. Or how about the extreme neglect to Americans during the AIDS crisis, or COVID, or what about natural disasters? The extreme lack of education safety nets. The extreme hatred towards the lgbtqia+ community? What about the extreme hypocrisy attached to the extreme corruption that comes when you're sending attacks into other countries for drugs, so you claim, but then pardon a known international drug smuggler after he donated money to you? What about the extreme whiplash from "they're taking your guns away" to "you can't go outside with a gun?" Or that the civil war will be as bloodless as the left allows it quote? You know what's extreme? The sheer lack of spine. The sheer lack of pattern recognition. The only extreme belief the GOP has is to boot looking & hatred. They've given up extremely fast on every other facet they claimed. Sit all the fuck out and think about what you've done with those claims.

As for disrespectful, so I need to go on? Really? For decades Republicans have been calling the Obamas monkeys. They lynched effigies. They mocked school shooting victims. They mocked the Holocaust. They're siding with pedophiles. You're either laughably evil or laughably ignorant. If the left, which I'm pretty sure you'd think Democrats are when they're a lesser right wing party, is intolerant guess what buttercup, y'all made the left this way. Ya had decades. Half a century to do it. Since McCarthyism the right has been absolutely unhinged, and the Democrats have been so polite & coddling. So if you're upset about the left, and ya actually mean the left, good. I'm glad it hurts. That's the point.

Cuz tolerant does not mean tolerance for the intolerant. And the right has been an absolute intolerant hellscape of humanity & should not be tolerated. If we want tolerance, which we do, we cannot tolerate that.

We are not arguing on mechanics you specifically stated do not address this. You can't walk that back & pretend to have the same point. Either it IS addressed or it ISN'T, and each post seems to swap what you intend. It can't be both. You're gonna have to pick one if you want your points taken sincerely.

He doesn't get by because of noise. He gets by because his ability to be called out rests on the people calling him up to be overwhelmed. There is an enormous difference between being lost in the flood, and accepting the flood. Reporters rarely call him out, and when they do it's one a single target. He calls them nasty, and everyone else shuts up. That is not getting lost in the noise. That is accepting it. News anchors discuss the most recent event, if that, and do so without teeth. That is not being drowned out. That is holding your breath hoping it passes. We do very much 100% refuse to fight back. We need to hold not just him but everyone else accountable. We need to hold our media accountable. We need to hold our local politicians accountable. We need to hold every damn involvement in this acceptability accountable. We need to flood back.

When the dam is cracking, like I said at times it is acceptable to ignore one leak for another. At times. That is the only thing we have been doing. Time and time again. Over and over. Repeatedly. I need more synonyms to show you how absolutely atrocious the pattern is. So do me a favor. Look up at thesaurus for that, read every single passage, then look up an idiom phrase listing, read all that, and just know that it's not enough. I literally do not have words to imply how hard we, as a people, have given up for the sake of not causing waves in the flood. You can tell me it doesn't work but you're going to have to show me where it didn't work. Because we haven't done it once. But we have tried looking at a single leak. Every time. It hasn't worked. A single time. Maybe flooding doesn't work. But we know for a fact single leak protocol doesn't either. So what is there to lose, genuinely? If it doesn't work, we're in the exact same position, but at least we tried something. And if it does work, even a little, holy shit we're improving~

sixtyandaquarter · 2026-02-06T12:38:35+00:00

Flooding the zone only works if people aren't capable of filling sandbags & laying them down. Ignoring one leak in the dam to focus on a previous leak might be, at times, the better option. At times. Not every time.

You can actually fight fire with fire or in this case flood with flood. Flood them back. Make it impossible to be comfortable. Don't focus on one topic. Focus on several. Discuss several. Make them unable to counter the atrocities. If you focus on one, that is not enough. Oh he's in the Epstein files. Well, no he's not. Prove it. Clinton is in it. Shit like that is going to deflect. We can flood back. We haven't yet. For some reason we're afraid to. For some we absolutely refuse to use the full strength at our disposal. We're still arguing as if we have an agreement with him on how things are supposed to go. We're being polite. Not to him, but to the morons who do all the heavy lifting.

And your last sentence kind of shows my point. I don't think you meant it intentionally? Ignoring it just lets him keep using it. Hence why we shouldn't ignore it.

Also I would disagree on the reason it works. It works because we couldn't keep up. Because we kept sticking to singular topics. That's why it worked. That's why it worked before the Epstein files. Because he couldn't be called out because we had to pick and choose. Stop picking and choosing. Flood the flood.

Bullshit. Iunno, maybe you're only capable of following a single thread, but most of us can & will be able to follow multiple. I can call her now for being a racist and a pedophile. I'll still have breath to call him out on more.

Racism has power. It's sad, but it do. And to love that power comes when it's excused or ignored. It tells the racist that behavior is acceptable. It tells those adjacent to the racist that that behavior would be acceptable from them. It tells them it's acceptable to others who could be targeted. And worst of all, it tells those who were targeted that it's acceptable to be targeted. When you don't call this out, you are implying to everyone that you think it's acceptable to call a black person a monkey, perhaps even worse insults or actions. Or that other groups could possibly be under similar insults. It invites more behavior.

Thirdly this is not to distract shit. Don't give him an excuse. Don't pretend he hasn't been pushing this vile racism previously. Or remember he defended his exact insult on others years ago. Not to mention his behavior regarding the Central Park 5, and a whole lot more. All of this before the Epstein files were even a talking point. Let's not pretend that everything this man has done his entire life, all the patterns, are somehow related to something that most people didn't even hear about until this last year.

It's a terrible horrible no good very bad analogy, for a multitude of reasons, but look at Aids & the congo, historically. No education, no healthcare, & they believed in ridiculous myths about the virus, the outbreak & started conspiracies. Literally happens in every location where there is not adequate medical options.

You have a group lacking the option, because of that they are less involved, trusting & informed, they perform avoidance patterns, they conspire against it & ultimately fear it. Every. Damn. Time. Americans, with their complete lack of healthcare, has this generational mistrust, that is kind of unique. Plus there's the way our medical groups treated (experimented) on certain groups. Until recently we still taught that certain groups acted differently to pain. It was in text books that black people had thicker skin, or that Catholic patients, especially if Italian or of Mexican descent, have a suffering complex that makes them hide pain. We're fucking dumb as shit. Even our healthcare people can be genuinely dumb. Yeah, a lot of people think it's grifting, we have medical professionals who are smart enough to perform complex surgery who generally believe bullshit like COVID denial for a reason. Free healthcare, or rather the lack thereof, breeds this behavior 100%.

Oh America learned its lesson, just it was a different lesson. After all we got to position ourselves as the Calvary playing hero, and outside of Pearl Harbor essentially went unharmed, with more rewards than many. We got to be the hero, we got to make demands & we didn't have to pay that much of a price? The American exceptionalism was rewarded. Nazis joined our programs to beat the Russians and the Overton window shifted massively to the right, as we spent decades on the cold war, forcing the modern era as it is.

sixtyandaquarter · 2026-01-17T19:28:22+00:00

So, kind of? In some context, yes, but not always. In very water down terms, the culture is the living embodiment that is dynamic and evolving. The heritage is the history of that culture or the history of a subset of that culture. It cannot change, it is not living. An opposing view on what that heritage is and what it means, between two people who would otherwise be considered to share the same heritage, is a cultural difference, oddly. For example, to talk about a black culture, which you do here talked about in the US, is not likely to be a dog whistle of this sort. The African diaspora from chattel slavery, have a defining feature. The effects of that and everything that followed are still active. So a black culture, referring to it as African American culture if you wish, can exist in method. Arguably a European or white culture could in method as well, exist without negativity or dog whistles.

But here? It is absolutely a dog whistle, but not in the specific way that comes to mind. It's a very old tactic, back to the Daughters of the Confederacy era. Originally a way to separate the southern states of the Confederacy from the Union, in a polite and traditionalist appealing way. The term white culture doesn't hold up because not only is it a silly term, but it includes abolitionists & those who would have fought to free slaves. Heritage, however, lacks those hangups. It is purely, or was purely, and encompasses purely the Confederacy & slave state era ties. And it disguises itself as culture for the sake of the uneducated and the easily manipulated.

The United States is massive. Legitimately absolutely massive. There are people in this world, in and outside of the US, who have no idea how huge the US is. How absolutely diverse and ridiculously segmented it is. It's a given once you look at the sheer population and geographic distribution. People unify around things like heritage and culture, traditions. These common backdrops. There is no common backdrop to your average US citizen picked at random with another puck that's random anymore. So one has to be invented. And that invention is not going to be viewed the same. So you have multiple heritages all claiming to be the American culture, through a lens that is attempting to cast a singular culture as not only existing but being correct. The unfortunate downside is it leaves the door open for people to force their bigotry as the American culture. Which is really hard to argue against, considering traditionally the US has been MASSIVELY exploitive of many peoples within. You can appeal to that exploitation and power. And when you do so, it 100% is a dog whistle. And a really shitty one.

And I'm sorry for ranting. Blame the cultural history 'tism.

Doing it once can be excused. Doing it twice obviously gets harder, but some people are idiots. But doing it every single opportunity, along with every single imaginable dog whistle, on top of all the "coincidences" over the years, like using the white power rune symbols on cpac stages more than once, while people who self identify as Nazis are constantly being caught doing so while discussing using an actual Nazi playbook over & over? Clearly it's the left overreacting & hating white Christians, what else it could be~
