Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

I found the entire article on the Wayback Machine. Except for the false prophecies about Russia and Latin America, it's a real doozy, and I think it might have finally gotten me over my last qualms about calling the GOP "fascist" (as explicitly opposed to "Nazi," for reasons I've addressed before)...

“The really dangerous American fascists are not those who are hooked up directly or indirectly with the Axis.… The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information."

“With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public, but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.” -- Vice President Henry Wallace, April 9, 1944

I've said it over and over again. These people are just like the people we fought in the Troll Wars. They use the same shoot-and-scoot tactics, they have the same disinterest in real discussion, and they have the same *complete lack* of community-building skills and espirit d'corps.

I am still not convinced they have a bright future relative to us. At best, they can hinder us with these tactics. To actually STOP us, they must build something sustainable. They can not.

This is literally the fifth fucking time this week that I have laid out an extensive, sourced, annotated debunking of a right-winger's argument on Reddit, only to have em totally disappear from the thread the moment they were challenged.

On one hand, fuck me for trying, right? On the other, it's certainly not increasing my inclination to be scared of these people. If they'll retreat this fast from a polite-as-they-had-coming debunking, what the hell will they do in a war?!

(nothin', i just wanted to @ you)

*runs away giggling*

@troodon Sounds great! So far this does not feel like Andromeda Strain or anything so I should be back together by then!

@troodon I'm not doing so great this morning, myself. Wanna reschedule for next week?

@Soreth Oh, big talk coming from a DRA...

*prudently looks over shoulder to make sure Peg can't see this*

...big talk coming from a DRAGON!

@acetone_kitten

it seriously kinda warms my heart that you haven't given up all this whimsical stuff for The Good Of The People or nothin' <3

[closed-captioned for the tiger impaired: Montecore(pbuh) was the tiger who chewed up Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy -- whether or not it was accidental is a bitily debated topic among tiger scholars]

@Soreth "For the love of god, Montecore!"

"RAAAAAAAAWRGH!"

@Leucrotta I thought it was Sitarday?

@tastymochafox I would watch the fuck out of that horror/caper flick, honestly.

"Rezy, where the hell do you find this shit?"

Proto-Subgenius film by Douglass Smith, aka the Reverend Ivan Stang. It's uncomfortably perceptive and predictably Devo. Definitely NSFW and brace yourself for some values dissonance.

@Balinares Tell you what, I'll bet heavily against you, despite totally being on your side here, and let Murphy's Law work in your favor. <3

@Phorm @mawr Oh, it's fine, they're definitely related!

@mawr @Phorm Here's the context I was thinking of!

Just another part of the rich Awoo memetic ecosphere. I will gladly play my $350 fine. :)

@mawr @Phorm Oops, sorry about that! ^_^;
