Usual fundie ego religious disorder: Americans are more religious then most other countries. My religion is obviously the correct one. Therefore it should be imposed on everybody.
The first point is arguable but true by most definitions. The second is obviously wrong and only a fundamentalist blinded by their own faith would accept it. The conclusion does not follow either since imposing religion rarely works and actually reduces belief over time.

Badempanada #moonbat #racist

Argument should be reversed. Aggressive spreading of Christianity and Islam, on occasion at sword point, is one of the bad traits of those religions and pretty unusual really. Most other religions either have some limit beyond which they don’t want to spread (bloodline or territorial region) or have rules against being aggressive about seeking new followers.

It is in fact already grounds to deny entry to the US if the reason for the trip is just to get an pregnant woman onto US soil when they give birth. However, if they do gain entry legally or illegal a child born on US soil is a US citizen.

His seventh suggestion was to amend the Constitution

I like how that is last. He starts with wild ideas to bypass the law and only gets to changing the law as a last resort. Makes clear just how much respect the far right has for the law when it doesn’t suit their goals.

Tim O'Brian #dunning-kruger #pratt

If you’ve ever gone to a Trump rally or other Republican or conservative event, this is not what attendees have done.

The entire argument here is silly but this is motivated logic on the absurd level. This is literally “I don’t want to be associated with this group so they must not be conservatives.” Some degree of policing of memberships of movements is natural but this is just dismissing them as fakes out of hand without considering what they actually believe or who they are.

We are, in fact, more inclusive than the left, because we don’t see color or gender if you’re on our team.

He left sexual orientation, wealth level and religion out. It isn’t close to true either, non-white and women are allowed only if they fit into a very narrow range of appearance and are held to a higher standard of conservative ideological purity. Even if you overlook all of that though, consider what he just said. He will overlook race and gender if your conservative enough but otherwise racism and sexism is fine.

Catholic Apologetics Insight #fundie #wingnut #elitist

heroic virtue, profound humility, supernatural charity, radical self-denial, mystical union with God, and an astonishing consistency across twenty centuries

Simply untrue and only the blind would claim that. Protestantism wouldn’t exist if that was anything close to true. The Catholic church of the time was so corrupt that people left the Catholic church in huge numbers in the hopes of finding a better way to god.

James Cashner #wingnut

This argument is mostly just deceptive BS. The key ones are what is a qualifying ID and time. Most ID cards used today don’t qualify under the SAVE act, most people would have to get updated divers licenses or a passport. Given enough time most people could get a qualifying ID but the SAVE act doesn’t give them enough time. To do it honestly it needs to be phased in across several election cycles but the Republican plan is to jam it in for 2028 having the done calculation it will be block more women and blacks then white men.

Paul Craig Roberts #wingnut #conspiracy

Author reverses history of the Ukraine war and the lead up to the war. They sound like they have been reading too much Russia propaganda. Russia started the war with what might have been a decisive advance on Kiev but failed. The rest is equally backwards.
The Iran situation is more complex because both sides would like to strike a deal but only on their terms. So the situation has flipped between war and negotiations multiple times in a few weeks. It’s not the sort of situation that reduces to a simple two sided view either because because there are other parties in the negotiations and the war involves more then just the US and Iran.

Cliff Kincaid #wingnut #racist #conspiracy

President doesn’t have to pass an FBI background check, negating his entire argument.
The rest about Obama is wrong or right wing rumor mongering. The basic point the author misses is that a communist can be a good American. The Constitution does not mandate a particular economic system.

Mail in fraud is trivial in number and even most of that is insignificant violations in helping grandma fill out the form.
ICE at voting places is about intimidating Democratic voters. The ICE agents will be setup in Democratic regions and hassle people coming in.

Not a single DC judge faced consequences for unlawfully imprisoning 300+ January 6ers using a corporate fraud statute.

Not even sure what he is complaining about here. It isn’t unusual though when there is a standard that all of the judges are following until the Supreme Court reverses policy.

"I don’t even like Trump anymore, so it’s crazy"[…]

This is becoming a widely found bit of insanity of it’s own. People who voted for Trump are now leaving MAGA and expect they can just undo their behavior under Trump and be liked again. They are finding that more then a decade of supporting MAGA can’t be undone that easily. Particularly since many want to keep the policy, they are just upset that Trump can’t make it work.

Games have been made too bland trying to avoid violence. However, the fact that they are giving it a toggle means they can make it more violent when enabled. It’s liable to be bloodier then it would otherwise.

Netanyahu very likely can’t assemble a coalition with enough votes to keep himself in office if he gets rid of Ben Gvir. From Netanyahu’s position the whole war may be about holding on to power rather then the Palestinians. You can decide for yourself it that makes him more or less evil.

Tatsuya Ishida #pratt #wingnut

More or less a direct reversal of actual events. When the Germans massed at the border before invading Russia, Stalin refused to believe that Germany would invade despite information showing the Germans preparing. Stalin didn’t think Germany would violate the Molotov Ribbentrop pact or that Hitler would start a second major front.

Vox Day #sexist

Vox’s real mistake here is saying “role” like it’s singular and constant. In a real relationship the situation for both people is constantly changing and sometimes they need support (physical or emotional) and sometimes they need a critic to help improve their plans and remind them of the limits. Not to mention the many other roles such as nurse, house cleaner and sandwich maker that both partners will sometimes need to fill.
People like Vox want to lock relationships into one model with fixed roles and declare everything else deviant. That is a huge mistake.

1) Is there anything that can be done about it now?
If the answer is no, then keep your mouth shut and say something vaguely polite and positive. Because nothing you say can change what is already done

Yes sometimes either partner may blow a mistake out of proportion and heap too much blame. But at the same time there is always something that can be done, good criticism will help your partner to avoid making that sort of mistake in the future. This is a particularly difficult type of criticism but sweeping mistakes under the rug and pretending they didn’t happen often leads to mistakes being repeated over and over.

Somewhere between sovereign citizen and Christian fundamentalist with a few dashes of other woo mixed in. Normally these combined conspiracies are so disconnected from reality they end up word salad but this one has charm.

I like how the first couple of sentences are true but then he immediately sides with the con artists. This is the sort of person who is so deep in conspiracy theories they don’t even realize that what they believe in are conspiracy theories.

michaelprue9024 #crackpot #wingnut

The thing about declaring war is that international treaties have made any declared war so expensive and such a disadvantage that nobody does it. The US didn’t declare war when invading Afghanistan or Iraq. The invasion of Ukraine is not a declared war for either side, it would complicate getting intentional aid and keeping trade open so much that even Ukraine has not declared war.
This doesn’t stop wars, they just fight wars without declaring it, everything is a conflict, peacekeeping mission, military engagement, etc.

Tatsuya Ishida #wingnut

This view of history is a simple lie. Prior to WWII Germany and Russia worked together, Russia letting Germany run some military training and research inside Russia and working to divide Poland. One of the major reasons the German invasion of Russia worked so well is that Stalin refused to believe Hitler would invade despite having information that Germany was massing at the border.

It’s been extensively studied, that you know nothing means you have not done any real research.

The company doing the work for Trump had to start trying to filter out algae before they managed to finish refilling the pool. The Obama administration update was more expensive but did more, including more structural work. All of the updates have tried to remove algae and failed, it’s a big slow moving pool of water in a hot humid town.

Clif High #crackpot #magick #ufo #quack

AIs don’t have any understanding of what they are saying. They are instead using a big language model to try and find previous answers to questions. If you ask them absurd or intentionally misleading questions they quickly are reduced to feeding you back random stuff fit into sentences. Nothing supernatural going on.

Donald J. Trump #wingnut #conspiracy

A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!

He was never a good writer but he is reaching the point he can’t express simple ideas. If it is signed we will have to see what it says, both governments seem to be fudging the details to play local politics. So far it looks like Trump is desperate to deny that Obama had a better deal.

Logan B #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy

They say they won’t do it because if they fix everything humanity has not have learned enough to not just immediately go back to our old ways. That may have been true in the past but there are enough of us now that simply will not allow that to happen ever again and I mean ever again. Not in a hundred or a thousand years, never again.

Unless an active attempt to fix education is made this problem will never be fixed. To really fix these problems humans need to come out of school with better education in general. Knowing how to separate real news from rumors, conspiracies and advertising. Knowing how to identify bad leaders. With narcissists and people with other disorders filtered out and treated.

Stephen Miller #sexist #racist #transphobia #wingnut

Standard tactic for Trump and his administration. They can’t argue with their opponent’s plans or make their candidates look better. Instead they fish around for insulting labels they can get to stick.
This is particularly true for Paxton who has multiple serious corruption scandals and should be in jail awaiting trials not running for a higher office. There is no way to make Paxton look good so they are not even trying.

Reactionaries and racist idiots in the current generation have always complained about the immigrants of the previous generation. The country is built on immigration and diversity. If you want to get back to traditional values I expect to see you picking cotton by hand and reaping grain with a scythe. Though oddly the people who complain never think they would be doing the hard manual labor that immigrants do.

Americans Are Back #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy #mammon

That sovereignty — the standing of the people as the source of governmental authority rather than its subjects — is what state national status reclaims.

This is one of the fundamental mistakes of sovereign citizen conspiracies. The power of the government already comes from the citizens, via voting and respect for the government. This doesn’t give individual citizens the right to change law or give orders to government officials or reject police. Rather you get a a bit of the collective voice in creating the laws that apply to everybody.
The rest is a typical setup to the idea there is some secret fund of US money that sovereign citizens can tap into once they fill out the proper paperwork and declare themselves true citizens.

Nury Vittachi #conspiracy #dunning-kruger

The government of China wouldn’t work so hard to hide it if Tiananmen Square didn’t happen. The Chinese government doesn’t try to claim it didn’t happen, they try to write it out of existence by obscuring all evidence. Access to the square is closed around the anniversary of the event so the government can pretend nothing happened, that sort of thing.
Ambassador Allan Donald is a distraction, he wrote about the event in diplomatic messages to the UK government. Later when those were made public he admitted his initial estimates of 10,000 were way too high, actual deaths likely in the 1000-2000 range. He didn’t deny the massacre.

This is such a trivial detail that this ends up sounding like some joke more then an actual issue. If it’s real he is complaining that the planet in the background of the cover art is more purple then blue in the remake of the game. I just realized he is complaining about not being gaslit by the color of a gas giant, making it sound even more like some stupid joke.

Robert W Reed #fundie #crackpot #wingnut #sexist

If your going to be that strict about not accepting anything that didn’t originate in the church you need to leave society and move into a shed in the wilderness where you can grow your own food and make your own clothing. He won’t of course, because that kind is always very selective. Everything he approves of is OK, everything he hates is not in the bible and is a form of Satanism.
Also the definition of pragmatism here is wrong. He seems to be blending utilitarianism and relativism into pragmatism, making a confused jumble.

Clandestine #wingnut #conspiracy

Trump expands on the Ballroom, mentions a “DronePort”, other “Military elements which are all vital for National Security”.

A drone landing space is an obvious addition for a modern structure but the biggest change seems to be hiding a full medical facility in the White House so Trump won’t have to admit how often he is going to see a doctor.

So there’s a lot more to this ballroom and the construction around the White House, and the Dems are VERY upset about it for some reason.

Trump doesn’t own the White House and there are legal procedures he is required to go through to change it. Any reasonable person should be upset that he decided to spend billions of dollars on a change to the White House before getting it or the money to do it approved.

They intentionally removed the statues, the culture, the history, etc., so they could remove the national identity.

Trump’s the one your thinking about. He is so petty he reorganized the paintings of presidents in the White House to put them out of order and hide Obama and Biden in a corner.

Anon #sexist #psycho

Species with one male-many female harems are not nearly as stable/friendly as they speculate. In such situations males seek to collect their own harem ruthlessly and males without one try cheating tactics to mate. Moving to such a society would probably lead to more rape, not less.
Compare to Middle Eastern countries that allow harems and are all worse for women. There are a lot of factors at play but the surplus of men with little chance of getting a wife is one of the problems these countries have.

Considering how much wrong there is in this story line I’m pretty sure it’s not an “or” question. It’s pretty typical of fascists and sympathizers that they intentionally lie to recruit people and build support but never question the information they got from other fascists.

Big_Combination9890 #elitist #racist

On it’s own this isn’t entirely wrong, though it’s often a cover for racism and/or sexism particularly with the comment about perl-clutching. Some people just are better at math then other, some better at drawing, some better at writing. Programming requires a bunch of skills and different people are good or bad at different parts. I have not run into somebody that can’t learn to program but some do have a lot of problems with various parts.

David J Stewart #fundie #psycho

It’s amusing that Stewart is still fuming over definitions and world views that applied 20-30 years ago. If you want to rant about the source of sin today go for cell phones and internet. Stewart is still locked into the world view he had when he was younger because change challenges up his simple minded view of right and wrong.

Hegseth is a terrible commander, the sort who places form over function. Concerned that front line soldiers have a chiseled chin and that the news repeats press releases. Not so worried about actual battle results or how effective missions are.

Those who do not accept the primacy of personal opinion and hold that religious truth is based on the authority of God’s revelation, on the testimony of His word, (opinion be damned), are in for a rough time

How she can say that without realizing that her religious truth is a personal option is amazing. It’s a remarkable lack of self awareness.

These things are not happening except the Abraham Accords, which is a minor regional thing. It is something that won’t even be talked about in schools in Israel in a couple of years. It’s largely QAnon reworded to obscure the source.

Captain Kyle/Jon Dowling #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy #mammon

You have to cut Republican power just as much as Democratic if you want to purge corporate power from the government, along with steps to keep it out of the executive and judicial branches. Also, Democrats are only being weakened in a few states, in other the Republicans are losing power and overall the Republicans are doing worst. This is a subtle bit of propaganda, setting up to complain that the election was rigged when it doesn’t favor the Republicans in the midterms and next presidential election.

The “slow and deliberate” transition

Slow and deliberate means seeing how long they can stretch out this story. QAnon fell apart when Trump lost the first time, but there are enough believers left to still sell it.

Dale Partridge #wingnut #racist #conspiracy #fundie

Current Christian nationalism is a post WWII invention. Prior to that period many fundamentalists considered getting involved in politics too worldly and corrupt and avoided it. Nationalism was isolationist to the point of slashing the military budget and often favored the environment over industry.

Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio #wingnut #quack #conspiracy

Gabbard was given the option of resigning or being fired, which is why the timing seems weird. Not because of biological weapons stuff but because she didn’t blindly support Trump. In front of Congress and the press she kept evading questions instead of supporting lies from other administration figures. Likely the intelligence information she gave Trump didn’t say what Trump wanted either.

This was because Disney rewrote the plot of the 3rd movie after the 2nd came out and after filming the 3rd movie started. The changes included Rey’s backstory and story arc and the writers invented some fairly random stuff to patch it in. In a Star Wars film a new force power is the cheap and easy way to patch over any gap in the plot. There are also a lot of changes to the whole plot but it’s really obvious on the central character. It was too abrupt and didn’t really work.

His salary is $81,000 a year, because that's what he paid himself in 1998 and it's kept that way. Now, didn't pay a lot of income tax on $81,000 a year because you can't tax wealth.

His listed salary is only $81K because billionaires mostly don’t get their money from salary. The popular method today is to take out loans against stock value. The loan doesn’t count as income but is still spendable money. Wealth certainly can be taxed it’s just that billionaires have spent a lot of time and money saying it’s impossible and a bad idea.
