I took a look at the linked website and the entire backlog (there's not much), and...eesh.
*Antisemitic conspiracy theories all over the place, with "Jews control the world" being the major one.
*There's some rather gory violence - one strip has Americaman unknowingly kill an African-American child with a riding lawnmower, while another has a trans person bludgeoned by "the Noticer" (a masked "villain" who spews long-debunked talking points and whose goal is to save the white race).
*The author's targets are frequently slapped with stereotypes, such as Indians having poop (sometimes even visibly defecating) and telephones.
**African-Americans get it especially bad: if they're not depicted minstrel-style or ape-like, they're grotesque masses of flesh and gaping minstrel-style faces (one strip does the latter to a six-person all-Black jury).

...So yeah, definitely a worthy target for FSTDT.

various commenters #wingnut #racist

Will you people please stop it with the "they were Democrats" nonsense. It is a weak, superficial argument. The Democrat party back then was more like contemporary CONSERVATIVES and not like the current Democrat Party. The Southern Democrats often voted with the conservatives of the GOP [...] into the early 1960s.

Huh. Someone on Gab not only presenting actual facts but snuffing out the "Democrats were and are the party of slavery/the Klan/Jim Crow!" lie. I'm legit surprised.

Unfortunately, the rest of HMartel's comment is the usual Gab bullcrappery. Still, stopped clocks and all that.

Panel 2: the bouncer is watching while stereotypical models of a Mexican, an Arab, a Black man holding a knife, Pedobear and a transwoman are entering the nightclub

Oh, and the Arab has a grenade and a gun, because stereotyping is kewl or something.

The Mexican surprisingly gets off lightly here, though given Tatsuya's general lack of subtlety I wouldn't be surprised if authorial intent is that he's holding a bunch of Fentanyl just out of frame.

Panel 4: the White man who wanted to enter asks “Why?” while wearing a shirt reading “It's Okay To Be White”

A white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes, at that. Because, again, Tatsuya and subtlety go along like oil and water.

Some context to note: looking at the Reddit post and the later update (both on r/AITAH, with the question being "AITA for leaving my girlfriend after she got a dog?"), it turns out the girlfriend not only knew of his phobia but why he had it. As explained here:

I was attacked by a dog when I was a kid and almost died from it. I was hospitalized for about a month, and it took months to be able to walk normally.

Absolutely understandable. Apparently, though, the girlfriend thought otherwise. He later broke up with her, and it turns out she was a bigger b*tch than the dog she'd surprised him with (and couldn't take care of on her own).

As for hornybelinder's comment, I'll note that it's in response to the first post, so it's entirely possible they didn't have any of the above info at the time. Of course, the lack of said info doesn't justify or excuse what's basically victim-blaming.

while Powering the Great American Comeback

Pretty sure we were doing a pretty decent comeback under Biden (not perfect by any means, though), and I'm sure we'd be going even further in a positive direction under a President Kamala Harris.

The phrase "Great American Comeback" reminded me of the "Great Leap Forward". Looking at Wikipedia, the "Leap" had the head of the country overpromising, underdelivering, causing numerous needless deaths, blaming everyone but himself for his terrible policies, and enacting measures to remove opposition and give himself more power.

...Huh. Interesting parallels.

"Rituals", maybe? Would make sense with most of the rest of the post, particularly the immediate surrounding text ("darker r*****s take place on that night"), though I'm struggling to think of any word that could fit "darker r*****s take place on that night" and be something that would have "most people" "shrug it off" and consider "harmless".

Looking at the linked page, the first...what, half or so?...of the thing reads like one of those online video adverts that goes "words words words meander tangent reiterate" before eventually getting to the point of what it's trying to sell (at least I can scroll through a webpage quickly whereas said videos usually don't have a seek bar), which in this case is a 7-second audio file of vibrations or somesuch.

As if the preamble wasn't eye-glazing and suspicious enough, it's followed by the "I could be selling this for $500 or more, but instead I'm charging just $49!" sort of thing and upselling - it's actually $39, there's a bonus of three free books (all with generic covers and no listed authors, always a sign of kwality), and we have a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Gotta love the insulting "You have no reason not to buy our thingy unless you like wallowing in mediocrity and failure!"-type stuff, too. If this audio file actually did what you claim it does, you'd not only have actual scientific evidence to back it up but would be offering it for free so everyone could benefit.

tl;dr - It's a scam.

Why do I get the feeling that by

they basically mean "anyone who isn't a cis hetero conservative Christian white person"?

If true then it makes the sentence he received ridiculously low, for molesting his niece.

Looking at the thread in question, "Mini Manson" makes it clear that David did things to his (David's) own daughter.

Tom DiFerdinando #quack #conspiracy

@PLMMJ #233399

Looking at Internet Archive captures, the linked page has been in its current form since at least April 2022.

As for DiFerdinando, he's been the current president since at least December 2021, although the site's listing of board members wasn't updated to reflect that until sometime in 2022, with David Crowe listed as president until then (despite the site having posted an obituary for him that says he passed away in July 2020). The list of board members has each name link to a contact form for that person, but the links attached to DiFerdinando and Raúl Ehrichs de Palma (the current vice president) go to the contact form for Crowe.

Looking at the linked page, there's a list of keywords that includes "Woke", "Wokism", "DEI", "DIE", "D.I.E.", "D.E.I.", "Govt", "Left", "Leftist", "Commie", "Communist", "Rich", and "Elite". Between that and naming the movement "Gamergate 2", thereby invoking one of the most toxic series of events in the internet's history and positioning it as a sequel, it's pretty clear that the

Gamergate 2 is [not] a far-right harassment campaign against women, LGBTQ+, and marginalized groups.

Lemme make this simple for Big Fat Dump:

Cutting a price by more than 100% (such as, say, 1500%) means the seller pays the buyer money to take or accept the product, good, or service. The vast majority of those offering products, goods, or services don't go this route.

EyesOpen, AlexEsq #transphobia

Sometimes, being near you like this is too much, because it reminds me of how far we are from the path I believe would allow you to flourish.

The path you believe would allow your child to flourish? No consideration for your child's thoughts, feelings, and desires on the matter, I guess.

...This is all about control over your offspring and how you just lost it, isn't it?

It's not because I've stopped loving you.

"I only love the daughter I thought I had, not the son I ended up having! I refuse to love anyone who isn't cis hetero! SCREEE!!!"

That's you PITTy partiers (I love that term) in a nutshell, really.

(Content Warning: depression, thoughts of suicide)

I can't count how many times I've said male depression isn't real and that the worst psychological torment most males are capable of experiencing is lack of pussy.

I've suffered from depression for a good chunk of my life (I'm turning 37 in a few weeks). For a number of years, I was miserable for a variety of reasons (including, yes, material concerns about having a home and food, though nothing to do with a lack of sex) and sometimes had thoughts of suicide (also for multiple reasons, such as feeling useless and thinking my family would be better off without me). My depression only increased after my mom began suffering from seizures and mini-strokes starting in 2017, as they often left her either unable to talk or suffering from (thankfully temporary) memory loss. She eventually got better, but then she got cancer.

After my mom died from cancer in July 2023, the depression and thoughts of suicide increased by a ton - I missed her so much that I wanted to join her in death, though I want to stress that I never actually made any attempts. It took my brother taking me to several doctors before I finally got the help I needed, and I was able to vent all of my bottled-up feelings on a variety of things. It was... dare I say... theraputic.

I still miss my mom, of course, and I've had dreams in recent months about her being alive which left me sobbing after waking up, but that and the Dump Administration's bullcrappery aside I'd say I've been doing pretty well.

So don't you dare tell me male depression "isn't real", Dumbarse.

Ethan White/Spiritual Salt #crackpot #quack #wingnut #conspiracy #mammon

Good lord, this post reads like a conspiracy sandwich.

I suspect the "Spiritual Salt" is no different from the kinds of salts you can buy from actually-reputable places... and that's assuming you're even sent anything after handing over a bunch of cash and identifying info.

Gotta love the "Original Price" numbers, too, as if any of them were actually ever (or will ever be) the cost of this thing. A classic example of "It's a special Low Low Price offer but it won't last forever so buy now!"

And that Low Low Price?

Now for only: $47

"Geddit??? Because the Great Mighty Dump is the 47th President! (And the greatest one, of course. After all, he uses Spiritual Salt.)"
