Yeah, until there’s a confirmation of this by someone in a country that isn’t run by a fascist regime that’s hell-bent on demonizing renewables, I’m just going to assume it’s propaganda.

Not that I’m saying it’s impossible, just that I wouldn’t trust “US officials” any further than I could throw them.

I wish conservatives really were persecuted as much as they think they are.

Those people are a cancer on humanity and an existential threat to us all

I was referring more to this brand of reich-wing:

Before reading the article I wondered whether this was a targeted attack or if he’s just inept, but:

According to journalist Micah Lee, user names and passwords for logging in to various accounts belonging to Schutt have been published at least four times since 2023 in logs from stealer malware. Stealer malware typically infects devices through trojanized apps, phishing, or software exploits.

So not only is he inept enough to regularly keep getting infected with info stealer malware (probably from installing / running idiotic shit), he’s inept enough that he doesn’t seem to have noticed, or if he did notice he certainly didn’t learn from it.

Funny how conservatives so often seem to be absolute dogshit at anything they do

Although now that I think about it, many conservatives would probably think that the Strasserites were definitely too left and woke, at least if they had a fucking clue who the Strasserites were

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_XIV#Views

Prevost opposes euthanasia and abortion.

As bishop of Chiclayo, Prevost opposed the inclusion of curriculum regarding “teachings on gender in schools” in Peru, stating that the “promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don’t exist”.

An acquaintance of Pope Leo XIV in Chiclayo, Jesús León Ángeles, noted that he cared for Venezuelan refugees in Peru.

Earlier, in 2012, Prevost made comments opposing homosexuality, saying that popular culture fostered “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel”, citing the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children”.

On Twitter, Prevost has criticized abortion, contraceptives, and the death penalty, alongside expressing sympathy for George Floyd and criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s policies on immigration.

Because of that last part the right is calling him “woke.”

Guess anything short of calling for the genocide of undesirables is “woke” nowadays, and being anywhere left of the Strasserites is “Marxist”

Oh shit, I never realised that was Jones in A Scanner Darkly.

But yes, it’s such a good film. Definitely in my top 10 of all time.

Smart and hot, what’s not to like?

But yeah, “what dumb people think smart people sound like” seems to be a real theme with conservative influences and politicians.

Same with how conservatives think posturing, bluster, strong-arm tactics, unwillingness to compromise etc. are a sign of strength – “how weak people think strong people act”.

But that’s the thing: Nazis weren’t really even displaced, and many kept their jobs in eg. the judiciary because they were seen as indispensable. The failure of denazification was on display especially egregiously in Austria, where you’d have people openly wearing Nazi uniforms years after the war, and they concoted the idea that they were all just unwilling victims of Nazism instead of enthusiastic participants.

And as we all know, the best way to prevent anyone from attacking you is to make sure you’re as defenseless as possible

What

One of the mistakes Germans (+ occupying forces) and the Austrians made after WW II was pardoning / “washing clean” Nazis after the war. Eg. the Austrian far right party FPÖ was founded by an SS member, and I’d be surprised if the AfD didn’t have Nazis in its family tree as well.

People who support fascism can’t be rehabilitated, except for a tiny minority.

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

Is there a yoga community? They might be into this sort of stuff too

Third, try to enjoy your life.

The irony

lol no he wasn’t, that was never ever going to happen

Different use cases

Like every conservative, he just hates that people have empathy for anybody but them

The USA has the best judicial system money can buy
