One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.
For a minute I was scratching my head wondering how I missed all the Magic the Gathering coverage when I barely saw any 🤣
Reminds me of the time I spent in 2020 wondering why all the right wingers were so mad at the Bureau of Land Management.
It sure would be nice if any MTG mention is promptly spammed by Magic the Gathering content and buried. I don’t even play MTG and I’d prefer to have my feed taken over by it! Fuck yeah, nerds–get your game on!
(Disclosure: I am indeed a nerd, too.)
They did find the One Ring card from their new LOTR set recently. Some shop is paying $2 million euros for it. I desperately hope someone throws it into a volcano a la Mount Doom.
I noticed a BUNCH of news and politics lemmy subs were created recently, and spamming depressing shit here like they did on reddit. Like, fuck off I don’t want to see that shit!
Politics is hard to balance. Hearing about it is depressing, but not keeping up with it feels wildly irresponsible and a big reason why things are so bad.
clears throat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA inhales HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
What a fucking kook. Even the other kooks think you’re a fucking kook.
The sad thing is it was because she called Bobert a little bitch and supported Kevin McCarthy. Not because of wanting to impeach the president over nothing or jewish space lasers or whatever batshit crazy things come out of her mouth.
The only power she had was because she was aligned with these bozos and could be part of a voting bloc that Mccarthy needs to stay in power. Now that she’s out in the cold she’ll lose all her perks and privileges (and insider info on what stocks are going to crash tomorrow) . I doubt she even runs for reelection.
Oh, she’ll run. It’s a way of raising money and getting attention. Pocket all the PAC money the rubes donate, scream and wail for more attention, get on the talkshows that will have you, and repeat.
Yep. Still has plenty of name recognition, and it’s not like she’s got a ton better opportunities to continue the grift than to keep running for election. This will simply be a pivot to show that she’s not as extreme as those crazies on the ultra-far-right, but still to the right of those ‘communists’ that are running the GOP these days.
Wait, was it because she’s too fascist or not fascist enough?
Probably neither:
“I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members,” Harris told Politico, referring to Greene’s profane exchange with Boebert.
“I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should.”
Edit: looks like the curse filter Broke that link. Just google “mtg called Biebert a little” and you’ll find it.
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Now we get to play a game.
Will the response be:
-
The left thinks everything they disagree with is fascism
-
The left are the real fascists for suppressing dissent/banning online trolls
-
No reply ever
I’ve got my money on #1, but they’re all strong contenders.
What doesn’t make sense to me is why Republicans are called Fascist. You say that it involves a “centralized autocratic government”, but the whole belief of Republicans is LESS government involvement.
“Severe economic and social regimentation” that doesn’t make sense either considering the liberal states are having a max exodusoin favor of Republican states like Texas. Fun fact, Texas is the #1 state for business in the USA with the highest growth, and despite its smaller population, it almost has the same GDP as California (and substantially less residents). If “Fascists” are so bad, why is everyone moving to their states?
“Forcible suppression of opposition” Democrats literally weaponized the FBI to take down their political oppositions lol.
Tell me you believe anything the media says without telling me.🤦♂️
PS: Trump sucks

I especially enjoyed when she tried to call a meeting to order and all the dems laughed at her. She’s a clown. She should be ostracized like the joke that she is.
This is where they finally draw the line? They are ok with the Nazi shit, but can’t call Boobert a bitch.
You need to understand, a good portion of the rights base sees the GOP as morally righteous Christians. Racism and homophobia are A-OK according the the bible (at least the parts they don’t ignore). What matters to them is the GOP politicians appear to be the kind of person who never swears, rarely drinks (except beer), is morally pure in the bedroom (and if they aren’t, it’s just a crisis of faith), goes to bed early, and is working tirelessly to defend the country from the evil liberals and Joe Biden, who is somehow both a dementia-riddled invalid and also the anti-christ.
This is the kind of world view many of the rights supporters have. They don’t particularly mind if you start promoting fascism or literally quote Hitler, as long as you still appear like the perfect example of someone living the 1960’s American Dream. The kind of person who could be invited to the country club and is always helping at the church picnic.
But swearing?! One of the Stepford wives has caused a scene with her unchristian language and, my God, it’s ruining the bake sale! She certainly won’t be getting invites to any of the upcoming dinner parties.
I’m pretty sure all of them have put political campaign money towards those “Let’s go Brandon” or less masked messages. It’s not about the swearing, it’s about the disloyalty. MTG doesn’t have the “rank” to throw Boebert under the bus. If Trump did it they wouldn’t have batted an eye.
