  • Don’t wait until the very last two paragraphs of the article to say why it was wrong, or your conclusion about it. Put that shit up top The Verge:

    As we know now, the bullets actually did have messages on them. They included a furry meme (“Notices bulges OWO what’s this?”), the phrase “If you read this, you are gay lmao,” and a reference to the video game Helldivers 2. This seems more indicative of internet brain rot than any specific ideology. It’s confusing enough that at least some of the groypers (and also, apparently, Musk’s chatbot Grok) seem to think the shooter was a groyper, so make of that what you will. The Journal has pivoted into suggesting the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, was simply a troubled young man, despite other remarks from Cox. Cox said that one of Robinson’s relatives informed investigators that Robinson “had become more political in recent years.”

    The Wall Street Journal has not retracted its report about the trans community, nor has it apologized. I guess it really is a Rupert Murdoch paper after all.









  • There are faster localized versions of democracy, like anarcho syndicalist collectvisation.

    Also, anarchism in general isn’t always going to result in democracy.

    First stage communism is often described as a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, which would be a democracy for workers but not other people.

    Project CyberSyn in Chile was designed to distribute resources automatically.

    What I’m saying is there are other modes of organisation.

    So clearly a comic that’s only vaguely anti-democracy (in that a democracy as large as the universe would be slow) isn’t automatically advocating Fascism (a specific type of malady.

    I’ve never noticed this comic being political, it tends to be childish and fun… So I guess I just don’t agree with the automatic assumptions others are making on this one.

    The universe… It’s big… It would be slow… So the hero stops the bad guy… With lasers. It’s on par with most American superhero movies.
