@abraham.su I don’t watch any of them. Haven’t since COVID. This is purely theoretical. No body count, no rubble, no blood? That’s PR, not suppression. I spent 30 years in PR. I know the difference. They’re clowns. Fire the clowns if you don’t like the act.
@abraham.su Suppression has a rubble pile. Towers get bombed. Papers get firebombed. Journalists disappear. Maher lost some deals. Not the same category. Not even close.
@abraham.su Are you describing Maher or Colbert or Stewart or Oliver or Kimmel? Because that’s every late night host with a cable deal and a nightly platform. The persecution wasn’t imagined—it came from his own side. That’s the part that doesn’t fit your template.
@abraham.su “Suppressed” means losing deals, getting disinvited, and your coalition calling you a fascist. He said all three early. They were correct. He got punished anyway. Maher==Kimmel==Colbert—remove the partisan hypocrisy and it’s the same case. You can’t apply selectively.

@katelynburns.com By listing those examples I just failed your purity test too. That’s exactly the point. That’s Maher.
@katelynburns.com He said Islam wasn’t a religion of peace and got cancelled. He said the left had a free speech problem before it was safe to. He said COVID lockdowns were causing more harm than good while that was heresy. Correct takes, suppressed at the time. He said them anyway.
@katelynburns.com Post it. If it makes him look terrible to everyone equally, that’s the endorsement.
@katelynburns.com Not satire. When both sides think you’re a dipshit you’re probably standing somewhere real. Most people only get called a dipshit by one side–that’s how you know they’re captured.
@katelynburns.com This is an endorsement that Bill Maher is finally outside of being brainwashed. The fact that the left and the right distrust him and consider him a dipshit speaks excellently well for him.
@BaronessLoveandLight I think they refuse to update their “fat fuck Trump” with the “fat poopy ass” memes and tropes because they’s their internal vision of what Trump looks like.
@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social I mean it seems worth it to me.
@paulwaldman.bsky.social So what you’re saying is the Trump White House is way more decisive and less wishy-washy?
@kevets truth
@markhamillofficial.bsky.social And you kiss your sister.
@melbuer.bsky.social Illegal migrants love dildos. That’s so generous!
@leftistlawyer.com It’s unfortunate that you ignore the “wisdom to know the difference” part. That’s the whole ball of wax.
@leftistlawyer.com Yeah me neither. This is my mantra: God, grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
@leftistlawyer.com Hopefully one day you will be hegemon. Inshallah.
@leftistlawyer.com That’s only how it works. That’s only ever how it works. That’s the only way it’s ever been.
@abraham.su A lot of people still picture class like it’s the 19th century: landlords, peasants, fixed stations, no exits. But modern life is more fluid than that. People move, rise, fall, relocate, recover, and implode. The lines are real, but they’re not as frozen or theatrical as that model assumes.
@nerdjpg.com You know what will replace capitalism? Mercantilism.
@abraham.su For what it’s worth, I voted no. I understand the argument for counterpunching, but I don’t think you defend democratic legitimacy by making temporary exception rules in the middle of active partisan warfare. That feels too reactive, too interventionist, and too easy to repeat.
@abraham.su By raw numbers, the white underclass is already massive: ~20M in poverty, ~300k in local jails, and the largest group in federal prisons. This is not about losing control someday. It is already here.
@abraham.su People with real wealth already live with Plan B. Mobility, second passports, liquid assets. They can exit. That is the real divide. If you cannot move, you are the one at risk of becoming the underclass, not because of identity, but because you lack options.
