yeah but it hits a lot different when he’s talking to a president’s son and not just some weirdo at a QAnon rally

he says he’s been sober since 2019 and I do believe that, it seems his new wife dommed him into quitting crack

the way to tell the difference is that Reynolds has a shit-eating grin while Gosling has a shit-eating smirk

lmao this boomer chud’s frame of reference for woke leftism is The View?

they released two versions but the “enhanced” one was literally just brightened and sharpened, which is totally pointless and probably contains even less detail than the original because the highlights get blown out and the artifacts become exaggerated. I’m honestly surprised they didn’t do some AI “enhancements” (which would have been even dumber of course)

but yeah it seems they’re saying even the “raw” version was modified here

I was born in a world without ICE, just like everyone over the age of 22. somehow the U.S. survived for 227 years without it, but these demons act like society would crumble if ICE was abolished. “moderate wing of fascism” is an understatement, there’s nothing moderate about these ghouls

I agree that everyone who’s able should contribute to society, and that’s why I propose sending all CEOs, investment bankers and venture capitalists into forced labor camps

and drank the “technology will make everything better bro trust me” kool-aid

ugh same. got caught up in the ridiculous tech-optimism of the early-to-mid 2010s. I thought self-driving cars and VR were the frickin’ future. it’s hard to imagine now but there was so little public criticism of big tech back then

watching the bombs drop in Baghdad at age 10 was probably my first “are we the baddies” moment. after that I could trace my political development through the punk bands I listened to as a teen. when I liked Green Day I was anti-Bush but not really a leftist, my first exposure to anti-capitalism came from listening to Refused, and then getting into more anarcho-punk bands made me hate cops and the US military but still had “communism bad” brainworms. by my early 20s I had slipped back into being more of a radlib/socdem (Bernie 2016) and like most of you gradually became more of a socialist/communist from there

one of his former employees, Lauren Bousfield, has alleged that he fired her for coming out as trans

it’s not relevant to this post obviously but I think people should know about that

I’m a 30 year old living at my parents house who recently got a job, in public service no less, and I can’t afford rent. very cool!

not a gamer though so I’ve got that going for me

bury it in under a plate of GABAGOOL

yeah some of those folks be thinking of children a little too much

meanwhile there’s a lot of work that needs doing that is not being done. maybe people wouldn’t be so “anti-work” if their work meaningfully contributed to society and afforded them a decent standard of living

oh yeah it’s very similar to the top left one, like they started with that and just cut some notches out of it

ok I get that the Ukraine thing was a reach but it was the combination of yellow and green in those exact shades that immediately made me think of

I think the trick is to use more rounded and curved shapes instead of hard angles

for example, I wouldn’t tend to think “fascism” when looking at a traditional triskele

actually that 2nd one is pretty similar to the shoe logo, hmmm

I wouldn’t have mentioned Ukraine if it was just green, it’s the combination of yellow-on-military green that I found very reminiscent of that shirt Zelensky is always wearing. maybe a stretch but I feel like whoever designed this was inspired by Ukrainian military wear, intentionally or not. & I wouldn’t say everything from Ukraine is fascist but their military has certainly aligned itself with neo-nazis

it was really the symbol that felt fashy to me more than anything though. hard geometric lines and rotational symmetry will always make me think of nazi symbols. like “copy my homework but don’t make it too obvious” but with a swastika

gamecube logo is innocent (though, Nintendo is not)

and yeah this isn’t an actual fascist symbol, it’s just giving that vibe

granted my only exposure to this clown is via the Hasan and Sam Seder “debates” but I genuinely can not understand how this guy has fans. did he used to be a completely different person or something?
