I thought he’d understood why it was better for him to drop out of the race, but I guess that was overly optimistic of me
I’m surprised I haven’t seen any “trump for Harris” generated images yet in this thread.
It’d mean having to give money to Musk
Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?
Must be a day that ends in Y
I doubt he’s that open-minded. He’s one bottle of whiskey away from suggesting concentration camps for minorities and “woke” people
This but unironically
Well, separating his [

As long as we keep pretending conservatism is a valid political ideology and not a dangerous mental disorder that should land you in treatment and on a watch list, no civilized society can be safe.
What he needs is something I can’t say out loud if I don’t want to get banned.
I love it that reich-wing lunatics are now eating their own. They suddenly think Andrew Tate is trans, ditto for that one cockwomble who shot protestors (Kyle something?), and now even Trump is a deep state operative.
Keep it up, conservatives. Maybe murder each other and not us LGBT+ folks for a change?
The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.
But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s
Well, no. The originally German / Nazi tactic called Lügenpresse aka. “Lying Press” is more about just claiming that the press is lying – like how conservatives latched onto calling everything “fake news” after US Republicans and Trump started doing it after their bullshit was called out with that term.
The idea with the “firehose of falsehood”, like the page I linked to explains, is to saturate media with so much high volume and continuous bullshit that people start to doubt whether it’s even possible to know anything about objective reality in the first place. The point isn’t to proclaim that the media is lying, but to simply lie so much that people start to think that all media is just lies. The tactic originated in Russia and has been in use since Soviet times and the internet has allowed them to take it to a completely new level.
And yes, Nazi-controlled media was obviously also full of total fabrications, but that doesn’t mean that these two tactics are the same thing.
Known as the “firehose of falsehood”
They think they’ll be tortured because that’s what they do to others.
Fuck, that explains a lot
Exactly. Treating conservatives like adults is a losing game; they lie about everything, and refuting every lie that comes out of a conservative’s mouth is wasted time. More often than not, everybody who’s not a conservative can tell they’re lying so fact-checking gives them no extra value, and conservatives will literally never read fact checks anyhow
Climate change shouldn’t even be a PoLiTiCaL issue, but fucking reich-wingers have made agreeing with reality into a political issue
Well, if vocally campaigning to make shit much worse qualifies as “spilled out into the public view”, then yeah I guess it has
