Even if this take wasn't reductive and worthless, guess what, "fascism" is too abstract an issue to count on the majority of voters to go to the polls for. This is an unavoidable material reality. But you don't want to work around it, you just want to spur a circle jerk among you and your hivemind followers about how you "get it" and others don't and you all are the prescient and astute trapped in a world of intellectual lessers.

Fucking morons, I totally get why people go post left if their parents and social circles were all people who talked to each other like this. If you want to call someone stupid and myopic just say that shit, don't pride yourself on avoiding negative politics then do this grating snark bullshit instead.

After Biden finally showed the nation this evening that all the popular talk about his "senility" was not just baseless insults, I think back to the moment in the 2020 Democratic Debate when candidate Julian Castro asked Biden "Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago?" and was dogpiled immediately by the liberal mediasphere, accusing him of rudeness and ageism.

I think this kind of "how dare you?" outrage to snuff out earnest and founded criticisms can be a dependable political tool, and of course you don't want to encourage the masses to delight in cruelty on a regular basis, but I think behind closed doors every political faction needs a space to soberly and mercilessly assess incoming criticisms/insults that are gaining popular traction, however harsh, unfounded or even bigoted they are.

If the attacks are based on lies, you workshop resonant ways to get the populace to believe something else. If they are based on some truth, you work around it or hide the shit out of it. But the Biden team has clearly been operating in that purgatory where they aren't all on the same page about the premise of Biden's infirmity, and therefore cannot develop a unified strategy to mitigate this liability. His staffers make a show of attacking journalists who insinuate Biden is not all there, but yet let Biden do a long debate where his impairment couldn't be more obvious.

I think brutal self-honesty that sometimes even borders on cruel has a place in every movement. It steels you against far more ruthless attacks from your outgroup. The Dems were able to shame Julian Castro out of mocking Biden's age by going "how dare you!" and able to shame us on the left telling Biden to "draw a clock" by dismissing us as ungrateful youth, but these strategies simply don't work in any general election, they have no purchase the eyes of the voter who has no affiliation, and impart no shame upon the merciless outgroup hoping for another guy to win.

Without the core Biden team daring to even broach the "old man" criticisms amongst themselves, spewing the same line that he's "sharp as a tack" to both the press and each other, and putting out "ironic" jokes mocking how ridiculous the idea of Joe being on uppers is, but also treating that accusation as ridiculous off-screen, well, that kind of toxic positivity will have you sleepwalking into historic loss and humiliation.

Today, after seeing another bunch of Nazis gave 132K likes to a post from NickMercs telling Mr. Beast's recently-transitioned friend that she is "abandoning her family to play pretend," followed by the same Nazis going after Mr. Beast for trying to defend her, I have decided I am not even going to browse Twitter through a mirror anymore like I've been doing post-Elon takeover.

Since Trump announced his first presidential bid in 2015, I've stayed glued to this site, because I was always either trying to see the worst people of humanity get dunked on and ratioed for a burst of faith in humanity, or keep tabs on rising movements like the alt-right before they went mainstream. But as of late, as the discriminatory chud filth is becoming the bulk of tweets, I oddly no longer feel compelled to wade through them to gauge what future evil movements may spring up from Twitter.

It's because I see that the white supremacists, tech ancaps, and incels of all races who are thriving on the new Twitter will just keep brigading innocuous posts with shock value slurs and devouring deliberately-phrased clickbait, until they drive everyone half-sane out and get quarantined in a new porn, gore, spam, and virus-filled digital sewer. The new right-wing boosting X algorithm will usher these people into a complete untethering from reality, and embroil these chuds in intra-clique feuds until they either grow out of it, get swindled by one of the many scams now allowed to advertise there, or **** themselves. I firmly believe that Twitter will soon completely stop being where political and cultural winds are steered, and it's all thanks to Elon's stupid decisions.

After seeing the recent deliberate attempts by the Twitter groypers/incels to be inflammatory--by spamming slurs, or saying "based and chuds" to posts reporting hate crimes, or finding another unflattering image of some woman they saw in the media then adding the caption "they are doing this to demoralize you and destroy the west"--- I am confident that the right is devolving into a 'soy' movement with both eyes open the way 2012 college "SJWs" did, and that it will turn them into pariahs who tank their own popularity via infighting. Even this dumbass pickme bitch sees it:

I've recently seen Trads feud with tech libertarians, MMA chuds feud with Great Replacement chuds, groypers feud with old MAGAs (like the post-left and socdems feuded over the Squad), and TERFS and redpillers calling one other groomer enablers and transvestigating one another, and I feel at peace to fully check out and only check back in when it's all burned down.

The difference between all this new Twitter vitriol and the 2016 alt-right rise, is that these new reactionary panics have lore that is too obscure, far-fetched, and indigestible unless you spend long stretches of your life not interacting with real human beings, and is made by a scattered market of profit-driven grifters with no central messaging, coordination, or real-life social competence (unlike the Koch/Mercer/U-Line backed 2016 stuff). I mean look at this extremely normal reply to the above tweet, this shit is not going to travel among normies of any political affiliationm because it will not ring true to anybody who isn't a socially maladapted NEET:

Elon is already a dogshit manager who is in over his head, but this latest pathetic attempts to juice Twitter's declining revenue, like by paywalling streaming, and offering A1 conspirat*rds revenue sharing, are just more Jenga tiles removed from his "free speech" bastion, that bring it closer to its collapse as a political force.
