I didn’t believe it until I saw the Vanderbilt Hospital videos on Matt Walsh’s show. I used to think the profit argument was a right wing fever dream, but clear as fucking day they were discussing it with regards to children and how profitable it was to do hormones and surgeries to kids. They were so brazen about it they had videos of the discussions on their website too.

The “crazy internet people” have ended up being right about more than a few things these last few years. I used to dismiss them all as cranks until I started paying attention to the motives and actions of the people who called them crazy.

crazy internet people have always been two groups - actual crazy ass people with terrible ideas, and smart people saying unpopular shit.

Pretty much the same these days with Nazis and "Nazis," fascists and "fascists," and so on. There's the legit ones properly named for what they are, and then there's the people who're trying to be stifled with a dirty label because what they're saying is a problem for someone.

Remember when everyone laughed at Alex Jones for "Turning the frogs gay"?

Evidence suggests that pharmaceuticals are making their way into waste water and altering the hormones of amphibious animals.

People got too wrapped up in focusing on the wording, and the messenger, to pay attention to meaning. Even back when it first started making the rounds, I knew what he was trying to say.

Think about it man. The right wing is generally pretty much all about profits. Or at least that's the popular point the media wants to cover as they like the "profits before people narrative"

When people on the right are complaining about profiteering you'd have better take that seriously because when the party of lower taxes and corporate profits is pointing to something and saying it's bad it's gotta be fucking bad.

Nah, that's the old-fashioned RINO wing of the party. They're furious because they're being kicked out by the MAGA wing. Liz Cheney, neocon extraordinaire, just got kicked out and boy is she mad. Biden got on TV and called them semi-fascists in a blood-red scene right out of a Leni Riefenstahl film.

Well you ain't wrong. The religious/moral right wing is much closer to the left wing than anyone is willing to admit. Dare I say they are basically communist in ideology as if we study the book of Acts we see the early Christians adopted a very collectivist lifestyle.

Hell if your read what republican darling Barry Goldwater wrote at the time with today's sensibilities your be forgiven for thinking he's a vote blue no matter who type.

Alienhunter in another thread: "I'm a fucking professional racist first class"

And fucking proud of it. If you're gonna be a racist be the fucking best racist you can be. Don't settle for 2nd place!

First class racists get much better perks than business class racists, like having the effectiveness of their oppression doubled at no extra charge.

God don't even get me started on economy class racism these days. My god you have to pay extra for slurs and they just lump in the Irish and Canadians together. Like good lord there's no way I'm treating a Dubliner Belfaster and Canucks like equal trash no sir. Canadians don't fuck sheep my god they aren't Welsh. They fuck moose instead. But you go with economy they give a everyone the same meal. Ewe, revolting.
