socialistexan on Tumblr: "I'm just going to warn zoomers, all your slang and memes seem like semi-ironic fun, but one of these days McDonald's is going to call their McRib Based and H&R Block is going to say their competitor's transactions fees are cringe. You'll live to see it commodified and seeing a 64 year old oil executive in a tailored suit talking about their favorite vtubers and say only simps support green energy will make you realize nothing can escape the decrepit reach of capital."

I am not an anti-Semite. Anti-Semitism is hatred
of all Jews on account of their race. I attack
some Jews on account of what they do, but I
never attack any Jew on account of his birth. I
never attack any man on account of his race or
religion. If a Jew does something against the
interests of Britain or of Europe, he should be
attacked like anyone else. He should not be
attacked because he is a Jew, but equally he
should not be immune from criticism because he
is a Jew. This is a consistent principle from
which I have never departed, before or since the
war. I cannot, therefore, be called an anti-Semite
who is a man who attacks all Jews on account
of race or religion. Our clear-cut principles differ
from anti-Semitism for reasons which anyone
can understand.

Here's Mosley in the 1930s. I'm afraid I can't give you the date but it's an interview from one of his fascist newspapers. Classic "legitimate concern" territory.

Good of the telegraph to remind us that as well as racist coked up men with prior convictions for dv, the racist march led by a racist that descended into racist violence also included some racists who shop at oliver bonas & think running the church fete tombola makes them nice people

I know we all enjoyed his video about male friendships, but I think this one about reading might be even better.

Duolingo really have captured the annoying and feral energy of their earlier adverts with this one. Unhinged.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

civility is when a white guy calls for minorities to be eliminated in a calm voice while wearing an expensive suit

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Charlie Kirk was a man so deeply committed to freedom of speech and enlightened, reasonable debate that you are not allowed to quote anything he said ever again.

My mother made a cake when Thatcher died. Ding Dong the Witch is Dead went to the top of the UK charts. You can really make a party out of a death if you're actually wanting to, not just pointing out that an objectionable individual was objectionable.

I feel like the death of Margaret Thatcher gave British people the same lesson Americans are learning right now - sometimes someone dies & people will be pretty actively chuffed about it. You are responsible for your own legacy, and, while people don't condone violence, they certainly won't mourn
