Seems like a run of the mill liberal whose information about “the left” comes from far right talking points:

But there is a problem with the way in which discussion about family values and having babies is split into two extreme camps – the trad-wife Right and the “abolish the family” Left. For any young couple starting out, the choices seem to be to either raise your non-binary child in defiance of the nuclear family, or to go full homestead and demand that your wife wear gingham and churn her own butter amongst a multitude of children.

Like, what the fuck is this shit?

The discussion about “family values” might seem like this if you only listen to what conservatives are claiming about what “the left” wants.

the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working

That’s a feature, not a bug: the entire point is to make it very hard to see the effects of the regime’s policies, so that they can just claim everything is working as intended and the rest of the world won’t be able to verify it.

Russia has been doing the same for years (well, decades really). They fixed their HIV epidemic by stopping the collection of data on infections

edit: ah, and the article says as much. That’ll teach me to comment before reading

Different use cases

Yeah a friend of mine accidentally walked into the crossfire of what turned out to be a nearly 10-year-long beef between two badly medicated bipolar people that had reached some pretty fantastic and frankly scary proportions. Stalking and harrassing the shit out of each other, or the other’s employers, friends, acquaintances, random people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, etc. etc. Justice system’s been involved multiple times.

Unfortunately for all of us, all you have to do is look at history and you’ll see that a lot of people do want to – especially without consent

They should, but they’re human, and this is just such a quintessentially human thing – mindless hate and brutal torture are features, not bugs.

*crickets*

Hmph, not in sci-hub yet

Just your run of the mill neo-Nazi look, like RIchard Spencer:

*badum* *tsss*

Wait, saying that it would destroy Hungary was supposed to dissuade us from letting Ukraine in?

Shit, that’d be two birds with one stone.

Yup, that’s what they mean. That’s the greatness they want back.

ugh I’m so not up to date on fedi drama

Joke’s on you, I’m unemployed

You… what? That’s not… this is not how nuclear deterrence works.

You don’t need a deterrence against France because they’re “mad at you”, what the hell. And yeah, China does have nuclear weapons, and yes, they and Russia are your primary concerns even though Trump is in Putin’s pocket to some degree

Imagine how unfathomably stupid you have to be to start messing with strategic deterrent. It’s just such an ubelievably stupid thing to do.

Well, could be malice too but that’d meant that Musk was really deep in Russia’s and/or China’s pocket

Oh yeah I meant more that giving them any sort of power inevitably leads to this

This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society

peak performance innit

Eh, they’ll come around…
