There are a lot of resentful milquetoasts in the world who fantasize being some snarky guy who can mouth off to their boss. From the 2016 GOP primary days...

right wing propaganda's greatest success is seeding the lie that our overwhelmingly center-right corporatist press is somehow "too liberal" in reality, anything vaguely resembling progressivism is defunded and marginalized (ask me how I know)

Been saying for years now: media trips over themselves to cater to Republican messaging/perspective because Republicans labeled 'the media' as being liberal; the only way to show they're not liberal? Carry water for Republicans.

There are a lot of reasons to hate the NYT but right now my top one is that they’ve convinced me to defend Joe Biden and that really sucks

another interesting look at polarization asymmetry dynamics: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.... I have some takes that I hope to one day write up in research that "polarization" is a symptom of other things going on, and researchers need to distinguish proactive vs reactive polarization among other lines

so there's a problem with "polarization" as a term, in that people tend to conflate various different dynamics (i think this is fairly decent: academic.oup.com/book/39301/c...) From this descends the asymmetry: ideological polarization is not symmetric in the US-- www.cambridge.org/core/books/a...

I, your friendly neighborhood far-right researcher/political scientist-in-training, am here to let you know that if academic research/media coverage of "polarization" feels weird to you, that's for good reason. Polarization research is, generally, fundamentally flawed and based on assumed symmetry

It's important for you to know that a chunk of conservative dark money has recently been lobbed at academic research on "polarization," and it bears reflecting on why a framing of the US's contemporary crisis that automatically suggests there's blame on all sides would be favored by them

Got into a debate with my dad about furries and he dropped this brick on me without warning; "People were wanting to fuck wolf people since Ireland had kings you shites aren't original." Apparently Irish werewolves weren't monsters, and kings would invite them for '100 kisses' in bed. Huh.

There actually is the German term "Halbwissen" ("half-knowledge") that describes what those people have. Often "gefährliches Halbwissen" ("dangerous half-knowledge") is used to describe someone making a bad decisision based on this level of being informed

The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century

As a reminder to those who follow me for the occasional political snark: I normally don't apologize for posting filth that would make John Waters raise an eyebrow, but I certainly hope you won't feel too uncomfortable. I'm still proudly a furry smut artist, though.

Just to be clear: Right wing ELECTED Congress members blocked Obama's scotus picks and packed the courts with Trump's picks. Every horror and fascist we are seeing was put there by rightwing lockstep mobilized voters. Voting works and it is working very very well for the right.

"no politics" always ends up being "just my politics and my positions", but with a thin veneer of "impartiality" and oh hey how often does that end up just meaning "no minorities"

Just had a friend I shared this with jump down my throat about how it’s accessibility. If you chew up a fancy meal and spit it into my mouth, you haven’t given me accessibility to haute cuisine. You’ve betrayed that you don’t understand art and that you hold me in contempt.
