I’m on a text string with my three brothers. Politics seldom comes up. Yesterday one of them boasted how he was looking forward to the next No Kings protest. I bit, and went into a history lesson about how we’ve been celebrating No Kings day for 249 years, and if Trump were truly a king there’d be no protest to attend and playfully added protests were a good place to meet chicks, but be careful they’ll probably be a lot of trannies so don’t forget the ol’ reach around. Ho boy, talk about a triggering event.
"Have it your way - unless it contradicts the ideology of the Autonomous Collective, or hurts someone's feelings. Plus, no burgers. Cow farts are evil." Not quite as catchy as the original - but people need to be made to understand.
Metaphysically speaking, "Cow Farts" are merely the restless spirits of silage that has recently shuffled off its' mortal coil. (Am I right, or am I right?)
Not only is TDS not curable, variants are appearing, wherein exposure to anything that appears Trump-like can trigger relapses and additional infections. The Kirk variant is an example, and has been the dominant strain for the last two or three weeks.
Those brain dead morons, are too busy saying the extraordinarily, ignorant, retarded, bucktooth, imbecile. 'Cornhole West' is a black intellectual. And the funny thing is there are absolutely brilliant black intellectual's. clearance Thomas is smarter than all of them. It's amazing when you compare the two cornhole is essentially a retarded, loud, ill-mannered, 6-year-old child, I'm trying to give him a little extra credit here, I realize most six-year-olds are far more intelligent than cornhole will ever be. but I am trying to be graceful. And all you have to do is listen to Clarence Thomas or read anything he has written and it will become very clear that the man is an intellectual Giant. we are lucky to have him.
Booker T. Washington was already warning us back during the Reconstruction era that the advocates for the victim mindset would be louder and more listened too than the blacks who acknowledged slavery but worked to rise on their own merits.
He doesn't usually get space on Black History book tables either, for some reason.
That's already happened. The credibility of media has collapsed since the 1970s. Trust in media used to be ~70%, and now it's ~30%. Audiences have followed accordingly for most corporate media, i.e., they've dropped significantly. What's fascinating about all this is that you would think most corporate media would be attempting to change out of sheer self-preservation, but they show no signs of doing so. They are a toxic mix of bias, delusion, and incompetence.
their lack of efforts to change show that the business model isn't what people think it is. They are sucking up more money from Pay to Play, hidden government funding (think USAID and dark CIA budgets), and Big Pharma than from viewers/subscribers.
It's simply because they've quite literally morphed into full-blown propaganda outlets: from deception or bias by omission to inventions and lies of commission.
If Mr. Sowell tells me my time is wasted then I will stop berating myself for not engaging. My friends and I discuss this. I concluded like the great Mr. Sowell, that it is a waste of time. One will not be heard but more hated. Most Gen X and boomers are now cast in cement. The young flocked to Charlie Kirk because they were still in mud and looking for a way out.
Certainly, online posts will mainly be ignored at this point, but for those who aren't totally cut off emotionally and have retained some elemental humanity I do think ground can be made via personal contact, but this can be challenging. When possible I try to just ask simple, unthreatening questions like, "why do you think that? where did you hear that?", etc. . . And if it's just to wedge a stick in the spokes of the wheels and upset them a bit I think that approach can have some effect-- again, as long they aren't too far gone.
Yep, where possible, I open dialogue. I appeal to the values in common. Ironically, their solutions sometimes are more conservative than my approach. It is as if they instinctively say they are Democrats but don't really believe.
add to tobacco execs in the '80s: big telecom execs today purveying their wireless wares that even Lloyds of London will not insure against harm to humanity.
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. If the news is fake, imagine how fake the media is. Obama defending a defamatory DEI Karen sums up his legacy - hope and change was effective agitprop that masked all the damage he did.
Thank you Gato. Totally sleepless in Seattle. Just thinking I might get some sleep here 30 minutes before the alarm. But lo and behold, another piece of brilliance from my favorite cat of questionable goodness drops. Of course I’m going to read it. I’d probably finish one of your think pieces if the house was on fire.
One of the tragically fortunate outcomes of the horribly unfortunate murder of Charlie Kirk is this. The trauma and (unfair) characterization of his words, much of it from people with whom I racially identify, forced me to go down a Charlie Kirk rabbit hole. (I openly admit to being maybe one of a handful of people who was not all that familiar with him before!) What I found (and find) amazing is the depth of many of his observations, and how many of them with which I agree wholeheartedly. The misquotes are one thing. The open celebration of his murder has identified assholes I did not know existed. As you were fond of saying about the covid dumpster fire, it acted as a "sorting hat" for dumbassery. The Charlie Kirk murder acted as a sorting hat for dumbasses who are also evil at worst, broken at least.
I’ve been waiting 50 years for our culture to wake up and see the distortions! Praying we have the fight within us. With God all things are possible though. The Left knew they had to take God out of everything in order to win. We must bring him back!!!
Rahm Emanuel’s self-own is glorious. Yes, the American people refuse to continue to subsidize part-time, weather-dependent power generation that cannot support a reliable grid. There’s a reason data centers are building out their own power plants because they require a 5-nines (99.999%) level of operation and reliability. Shocker - subsidizing crappy power will increase power prices and reduce reliability.
"Let me tell you a story about Rahm Emanuel," Massa started. "I was a congressman in my first eight weeks, and I was in the congressional gym, and I went down and I worked out and I went into the showers...I'm sitting there showering, naked as a jaybird and here comes Rahm Emanuel not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me because I wasn't going to vote for the president's budget. Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?”
The worst part about the post-truth stuff is how it's transparently just a vehicle for arriving at a desired conclusion when working backwards, then "logic" is applied forwards from there to reach a desired end state for the world.
The idiot HR lady who's pretty sure she "deserves a seat at the table" because she's just like the men working in a productive capacity then freaks out when someone attempts a grown-up conversation with her *based on the topic she brought up for her own affirmation* is really no different than the trans furry lunatic who shot Charlie Kirk who likely thinks the reason his boyfriend is not a woman, thus making him a homosexual, is because people like Kirk *refuse to accept that men are women*.
It's "I invent my reality because that's what I want to believe" then with the idea that belief is what reifies everything in the world, go and use the logical conclusion of such obvious bullshit to impose upon other people.
It applies rationality but only when the rationality results in action taken on other people. When it comes to accepting things that are clearly untrue, said rationality is completely abandoned. They would never, for example, accept "It's my truth that I didn't smack the HR lady on the ass in the break room", but will in a heartbeat accept "The HR lady isn't an astronaut and part-time rock star because of the patriarchy.
It's *always* selectively applied. Not just to other people, but also to the people pushing post-truth claims, themselves.
Remember when Kellyanne Conway talked about "alternate facts" and the left went crazy and beat that dead horse forever? Here are some alternative facts: 2+2=4 and 3+1=4. Prove me wrong.
My favorite trick is asking them a question so I can get their permissible talking point from the media, and then asking them the same question phrased differently to hear them spout another pre-approved answer.
What it proves is they aren't listening and/or couldn't tell you a real answer because they don't even recognize the questions, as unique, but both asking the same thing.
The reports I read from over there make my head wobble! When r*pe gangs are allowed to roam free while women (and little girls) who grab whatever weapon they have to try to fend them off are arrested for possessing those weapons you are at end stage civilization. Especially when you subsequently arrest people for speaking out about it. All those out marching with their Union Jacks (which is good to see) need to unite in their own communities and clean house. Those importing their barbaric ways are still the minority, but for how long? Make Britain Great Again!
I recently saw a video of an older gentleman in England saying he wanted Trump to make Britain the 51st state. And I thought, wow, that only took 250 years to achieve. Can you imagine the look on the Founders faces?
Ha, yeah - that term has a formal meaning in pol-sci to this day and was part of the curriculum when I was at uni, when we looked at how England had acted throughout history whenever Scandinavia was attempting unification, by diplomacy or by war.
Or whenever a central continental power tried to rise, really.
The point of the exercise was to understand how diplomay is played and to understand that powerful nations do not have friends nor allies, only enemies and contenders.
Something the USA seems Hell-bent on not learning about themselves, some days.
That and a lot of tyranny. When the government starts arresting the innocent and letting go the criminals and arresting people who speak out against the insanity, is when you know the nation is lost. I pray the UK citizens will rise up before you become the UKCP.
The son removing his father? Hmm. Not so sure. William's turn will come. But he's a true blue-blood royal, unlike his brother. Don't expect anything other than the global transhumanist agenda from him.
I wonder if Mao had any success getting his Red Guard back to reality? Not that he cared much…. Basically they got thrown under the bus But did some recover? Somehow?
A gap in my knowledge… but cult deprogrammers might be a growth industry?
The woke TDS libtard trans AWFLs etc. are definitely per the Maoist cultural revolution schematic.
Not to omit the Smith Mundt Act, CIA involvement, MK ULTRA, color revolution, operation Mockingbird and operation Paperclip history
i think people are getting lost in/buried under the false frequency bias of how few post so much that espouses all these crazy beliefs. the whole point is to manufacture the appearance of a consensus and majority that does not exist and largely never did.
they are going into the doom loop of ever more histrionic tales and lies and endge lord positions. this will doom them. each new surge further out on the extreme edge of position wakes up more people to the lie.
they are going mad and look big and violent, but this is a death rattle. they lost institutional contral and will not be able to get it back. watch.
I hope this reply of yours is the basis for a post in its own right. A lot of people - and none of us are immune - trips up on the frequency-thing. Probably pre-inernet generational media-conditioning to blame for that.
A wounded Behemoth, trying to turn around fast enough to gore the wolves nipping at its haunches, trying to hamstring it further - is a hope-inducing image.
"if you pay attention, the projection driven drama donkeys will always tell on themselves. they cannot help but stare right at the floorboards beneath which the body is buried."
As Associated Press Washington Bureau Chief, Fournier put out guidelines telling reporters to ignore both sides of every issue and put in their personal opinions in the stories they wrote.
This was to "hold people accountable."
Journalists didn't TELL YOU that they were suddenly writing opinion pieces.
Journalists report what they have personally seen or heard. That's it. If they interviewed a person, they report what that person said, and nothing more. If they saw something personally, they report what they saw. If an expert has drawn a conclusion, the journalist reports what that expert said, and what his qualifications would be as far as being able to draw that conclusion.
A journalist does not himself draw conclusions. His job is merely to observe and to report. A good journalist knows where to find things that would be relevant to observe, and to use that to drill down to what appears to that journalist to be the objective truth. Even so, he still reports only what he saw or heard personally.
If there are conclusions drawn, like when they said, "Donald Trump falsely stated that the 2020 election was stolen," that's not journalism. The word 'falsely' is a conclusion, and journalists don't conclude. They leave it to others to conclude. If it was instead written as, "Donald Trump stated that the 2020 election was stolen, but [name of supposed expert] says that's false," that would be a lot better. In that case, the conclusion is being drawn by a person who is supposed to be an expert, and the journalist merely reports the opinion of that expert, and who that expert is, so that readers/listeners/viewers can decide for themselves whether he is credible.
Journalism professors instructing their students to eschew the actual practice of journalism does not make any sense. They're being taught something quite different than actual journalism. Call it creative writing, editorializing, or straight up propaganda, and you'd be closer than if you called it journalism.
Opinion journalism is not truly journalism, thus. It is the closest thing to it that you can find in the modern world, though. At least the right-leaning opinion journalist sites are quite clear about what they are. It's the left opinion journalists who misrepresent their opinion journalism as real journalism that are the problem. Lots of older people who grew up thinking that the nightly news was the unquestionable truth still think so, and younger people who really ought to know better often fall for it too.
Falsely, debunked, unproven, without proof qualifiers are opinion presented as fact. Seeing those qualifiers alerts the reader to the bias. Apparently they must hammer the point to impress their editors and perhaps some who will assert the statement showing no critical expertise
Hilarious abut that photo of Dylan Mulvaney: even with those delicate little fairy bones of his he still has a torso of masculine proportions. Kid just can't win.
And--the world hinges on what the world always hinges, doesn't it? Men of immense wealth using it for either good or evil. That critical mass of power is essential. You gotta have an earthquake to change the landscape fast enough.
That's supposing they did, and he's not told us. From what I've heard, he was the typical effinate gay man - until he decided to do drag. However, if you want to look like a woman, why not get yourself some "woman hips".
When people become the "hot new thing", rarely are they honest about their lives. Like most attention seekers he went straight to the victim card. Poor Dylan! It's obvious that he LOVES attention and becoming a "woman" got him a lot of it. It's his primary driver. It's more likely that his parents didn't acknowledge or affirm him, which I would expect in a religious family. Shame is a natural part of just about every society.
Well, he was raised in a traditional Catholic home and was made to feel such overwhelming shame and distress about being a gay kid that he tried to turn himself into a straight girl.
Sure, it’s his parents fault. Pretty weak. This is a grown man playing make believe, it’s 100% on him, not because his parents didn’t accept there gay son or whatever. That may be a valid excuse for a teen or pre teen, not a grown ass man.
How exactly did he "(try) to turn himself into a straight girl"? By wearing a dress? That's called being a transvestite.
The only way that he could even 'try' to make a claim of becoming a "straight girl" would be total surgery, which hasn't happened, although one could safely assume that he has the funds now (aside from insurance). Even that would still be a lie, a completely false belief, one that every cell in his body would bear scientific witness against.
No, he is simply making hay while the sun shines, playing at being a woman while clearly remaining a male, because some people fall for it, and it is paying the bills. The real question would be what he does once that is no longer the case. That may or may not happen any time soon; it is essentially moot until such a time.
Reality is that (for whatever reasons one wishes to ascribe) he is a gay man in a dress.
You know, it's a strange thing. That scene in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" with Tim Curry singing in the swimming pool, I thought it was powerfully sexually compelling.
Been in too many gay/lesbian bars to think they tolerate pretenders. Recall that drag shows were generally to mock women. Bringing them into mainstream was always curious to me but women seem to enjoy them. That might mean something beyond my knowledge. All the MTF trans I’ve known (2) only wanted to fly low and try to fit in.
He is a gay guy from a wealthy devoutly Catholic family and got a degree in musical theater and toured in "The Book of Mormon" and then Our Plague Era hit and he handled being confined to home without a job very poorly and found TikTok and decided he was really a girl.
Still considers himself a Catholic though.
It's quite sad; the surgeries haven't been able to obliterate his male bone structure even on his face.
Maybe he was awaiting money for that surgery but jobless and his parents limited his options. Surgery has been amazing in reworking faces. Sad that many males retain fears of being <gasp> a homo.
Heather was a big hefty girl from rural VA who realized she was gay by HS.
Heather's mother loved her but their Baptist faith and community made it hard to accept the reality of a lesbian daughter.
It was much, much easier to accept the idea that Heather was really a boy who'd been born in the wrong body. After all, babies are born with defective hearts, say, all the time, and doctors need to fix the problem. Sometimes bodies just come out wrong, don't they?
Heather began presenting as male at school, changed her name to Gavin, and demanded the right to use the boys' bathroom because she felt it was wrong to make her use the girls' bathroom because she wasn't really a girl.
Heather/Gavin got lots of legal assistance from the usual gang of idiots and now that's why many school districts in VA are forcing little girls to accept having boys in their bathrooms.
If Heather's one mommy had been able to accept having a lesbian daughter in her family we might not be here in this deranged social place right now.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
Word manglers - Think the meaning of words is arbitrary (yet get offended by utterances of specific phrases). Want to hold the reins of language to steer society as they see fit.
They’re not poets seeking the sublime through the gaps between the sounds and meanings of words. They’re not writers, stretching the limits of language to deliver ideas that come from a space beyond words. They’re not satirists poking holes in the fabric of wordplay.
No, they don’t care about words beyond the power it serves them over others.
And I, for one, decline to value the utterances of people who see language that way.
When I look at problems like the one we as a nation have regarding public lying and propaganda, I ask “what is the fundamental / core / primary cause, and how did it evolve into the current situation.
I think I have been wrong to take that approach; it is too time consuming, if and when you find the answers, the game has already changed, the dynamics of reality have morphed, and last year’s solution will not work (sort of like the Covid vax).
The problem with Kimmel isn’t Kimmel, or free speech; it’s the fact that a subsidiary of a corporate / conglomerate subsidiary is allowed to use valuable public airwaves to spout political propaganda. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
I am so tired of the lies! - the intentional, practiced, focus-group-tested, professional lies.
If Kimmel returns, Disney needs to be punished, again.
"It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance."

Once the middle views these corporate "journalist" as tobacco executives in the 80's, its over.
I’m on a text string with my three brothers. Politics seldom comes up. Yesterday one of them boasted how he was looking forward to the next No Kings protest.

Ho boy, talk about a triggering event.
So yeah, what Sowell said.
Good on you for smacking your sibling with good old fashioned realty.
True fealty, true love, calls upon Truth
In light of all the "No Kings" hoopla, Burger King is going to change it's name to "Burger Autonomous Collective."
"Have it your way - unless it contradicts the ideology of the Autonomous Collective, or hurts someone's feelings. Plus, no burgers. Cow farts are evil." Not quite as catchy as the original - but people need to be made to understand.
Metaphysically speaking, "Cow Farts" are merely the restless spirits of silage that has recently shuffled off its' mortal coil. (Am I right, or am I right?)
Yup
Awful smelling stuff even before the cows does its processing thing.
Damn! That may be the funniest (and most honest) thing that Trevor Noah ever did on the Daily show! ...and gay!
So funny!
Not only trannies (great line, tho!!), but a lot of histrionic, messed up, impossible-to-please women too. Flirt at your own risk.

You Da Man. Whoo boy. Pokin’ the hornet’s nest.
Not only is TDS not curable, variants are appearing, wherein exposure to anything that appears Trump-like can trigger relapses and additional infections. The Kirk variant is an example, and has been the dominant strain for the last two or three weeks.
It’s ok. They’ll all die from inhaling Tylenol this week. No need to worry.
TDS is already being reconfigured to JD Vance. The insanity will continue. That's its nature.
They are stuck in a bubble of ignorance…. and as long as nobody points that out to them, they are content to be there…
Sowell is the shazizzle!
strange how you never hear his name mentioned among the Left as a Black intellectual.
Those brain dead morons, are too busy saying the extraordinarily, ignorant, retarded, bucktooth, imbecile. 'Cornhole West' is a black intellectual. And the funny thing is there are absolutely brilliant black intellectual's. clearance Thomas is smarter than all of them.

Absolutely, they revere idiots and trash the brilliant like Thomas.
Which Thomas? Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas.
They are both very impressive men
why not both meme
If only Sowell could be on the SCOTUS….🤔
Would love to hear him and Clarence have a conversation you know that would be very interesting.
Booker T. Washington was already warning us back during the Reconstruction era that the advocates for the victim mindset would be louder and more listened too than the blacks who acknowledged slavery but worked to rise on their own merits.
He doesn't usually get space on Black History book tables either, for some reason.
yep
Ha! That was Fantastic! In hindsight,ABC(or whichever network) should have just given him a raise and spared our Republic from this.
They call it "White-passing".
Which is lefty-code for "Race-traitor".
Right.. He said He quit touring Universities because of the violent leftist reactions…

And "Albion" is the Latin version of a Celtic word, that has roots back to a PIE-word that means (drum roll):
White.
As in, "the island of White people".
I wonder, if telling the Starm-bahnführers that would make their heads explode?
Lovely image 🤯for the Fabian Herr Starmer especially
And then there's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidious_Albion
Ha, yeah - that term has a formal meaning in pol-sci to this day and was part of the curriculum when I was at uni, when we looked at how England had acted throughout history whenever Scandinavia was attempting unification, by diplomacy or by war.
Or whenever a central continental power tried to rise, really.
The point of the exercise was to understand how diplomay is played and to understand that powerful nations do not have friends nor allies, only enemies and contenders.
Something the USA seems Hell-bent on not learning about themselves, some days.
Well said. Diplomacy is just the polite mask of treachery. The British are masters at it, or they were.
That and a lot of tyranny. When the government starts arresting the innocent and letting go the criminals and arresting people who speak out against the insanity, is when you know the nation is lost. I pray the UK citizens will rise up before you become the UKCP.
William removing Charles would be a start.
The son removing his father? Hmm. Not so sure. William's turn will come. But he's a true blue-blood royal, unlike his brother. Don't expect anything other than the global transhumanist agenda from him.

So many have succumbed to this and I believe the brainwashing is so complete they can never be deprogrammed.
If some can be un-MK-Ultraed, then at least some can be deprogrammed.
I wonder if Mao had any success getting his Red Guard back to reality? Not that he cared much…. Basically they got thrown under the bus But did some recover? Somehow?
A gap in my knowledge… but cult deprogrammers might be a growth industry?
The woke TDS libtard trans AWFLs etc. are definitely per the Maoist cultural revolution schematic.
Not to omit the Smith Mundt Act, CIA involvement, MK ULTRA, color revolution, operation Mockingbird and operation Paperclip history
I love your idea of cult deprogrammers as a growth industry!
I suppose it could be possible. But most people aren’t just going to go willingly. Their realities are as real as their hands and feet.
Gato, could you explain briefly why the f**k are you so optimistic about the future? What drug do you use?
i think people are getting lost in/buried under the false frequency bias of how few post so much that espouses all these crazy beliefs. the whole point is to manufacture the appearance of a consensus and majority that does not exist and largely never did.
they are going into the doom loop of ever more histrionic tales and lies and endge lord positions. this will doom them. each new surge further out on the extreme edge of position wakes up more people to the lie.
they are going mad and look big and violent, but this is a death rattle. they lost institutional contral and will not be able to get it back. watch.
I hope you are right!
We can most certainly hope that they rise on their own petard. I fear great troubles.
I hope this reply of yours is the basis for a post in its own right. A lot of people - and none of us are immune - trips up on the frequency-thing. Probably pre-inernet generational media-conditioning to blame for that.
A wounded Behemoth, trying to turn around fast enough to gore the wolves nipping at its haunches, trying to hamstring it further - is a hope-inducing image.
Ha!
Here I was thinking, "damn, that's an optimistic view."
Me too! I could really use some!

N.Y. Times Reports Facts Are Not Relevant As They Alter US History https://www.independentsentinel.com/ny-times-reports-facts-are-not-relevant-as-they-alter-us-history/
University of North Carolina journalism professors protest the concept of ‘objectivity’ in news reporting.
https://justthenews.com/nation/states/unc-journalism-professors-protest-objectivity-news-reporting
As Associated Press Washington Bureau Chief, Fournier put out guidelines telling reporters to ignore both sides of every issue and put in their personal opinions in the stories they wrote.
This was to "hold people accountable."
Journalists didn't TELL YOU that they were suddenly writing opinion pieces.
https://twtext.com/article/1246661734951047168
(As an aside, the AP was never the same after Obama wiretapped them. They became even more compliant, leftist state-owned propaganda.)
Journalists report what they have personally seen or heard. That's it. If they interviewed a person, they report what that person said, and nothing more. If they saw something personally, they report what they saw. If an expert has drawn a conclusion, the journalist reports what that expert said, and what his qualifications would be as far as being able to draw that conclusion.
A journalist does not himself draw conclusions. His job is merely to observe and to report. A good journalist knows where to find things that would be relevant to observe, and to use that to drill down to what appears to that journalist to be the objective truth. Even so, he still reports only what he saw or heard personally.
If there are conclusions drawn, like when they said, "Donald Trump falsely stated that the 2020 election was stolen," that's not journalism. The word 'falsely' is a conclusion, and journalists don't conclude. They leave it to others to conclude. If it was instead written as, "Donald Trump stated that the 2020 election was stolen, but [name of supposed expert] says that's false," that would be a lot better. In that case, the conclusion is being drawn by a person who is supposed to be an expert, and the journalist merely reports the opinion of that expert, and who that expert is, so that readers/listeners/viewers can decide for themselves whether he is credible.
Journalism professors instructing their students to eschew the actual practice of journalism does not make any sense. They're being taught something quite different than actual journalism. Call it creative writing, editorializing, or straight up propaganda, and you'd be closer than if you called it journalism.
Opinion journalism is not truly journalism, thus. It is the closest thing to it that you can find in the modern world, though. At least the right-leaning opinion journalist sites are quite clear about what they are. It's the left opinion journalists who misrepresent their opinion journalism as real journalism that are the problem. Lots of older people who grew up thinking that the nightly news was the unquestionable truth still think so, and younger people who really ought to know better often fall for it too.
Falsely, debunked, unproven, without proof qualifiers are opinion presented as fact. Seeing those qualifiers alerts the reader to the bias. Apparently they must hammer the point to impress their editors and perhaps some who will assert the statement showing no critical expertise

Hilarious abut that photo of Dylan Mulvaney: even with those delicate little fairy bones of his he still has a torso of masculine proportions. Kid just can't win.
And--the world hinges on what the world always hinges, doesn't it? Men of immense wealth using it for either good or evil. That critical mass of power is essential. You gotta have an earthquake to change the landscape fast enough.
Maybe Dylan should get hip implants.
Perhaps his family ought not to have imposed shame on him for his natural, subset of normal sexual development.
That's supposing they did, and he's not told us. From what I've heard, he was the typical effinate gay man - until he decided to do drag. However, if you want to look like a woman, why not get yourself some "woman hips".
He has said so. Guy gave plenty of interviews, wrote plenty of words while he was the hot new thing.
When people become the "hot new thing", rarely are they honest about their lives. Like most attention seekers he went straight to the victim card. Poor Dylan! It's obvious that he LOVES attention and becoming a "woman" got him a lot of it. It's his primary driver. It's more likely that his parents didn't acknowledge or affirm him, which I would expect in a religious family. Shame is a natural part of just about every society.
I'd been surprised to discover the details. I'd thought he was Mormon.
When I look at HIM, I feel the urge to violence. HE is so offensive to nature.
Well, he was raised in a traditional Catholic home and was made to feel such overwhelming shame and distress about being a gay kid that he tried to turn himself into a straight girl.
All cults are bad for you.
Sure, it’s his parents fault. Pretty weak. This is a grown man playing make believe, it’s 100% on him, not because his parents didn’t accept there gay son or whatever. That may be a valid excuse for a teen or pre teen, not a grown ass man.
Terrible things can happen when you fuck up your kids.
How exactly did he "(try) to turn himself into a straight girl"? By wearing a dress? That's called being a transvestite.
The only way that he could even 'try' to make a claim of becoming a "straight girl" would be total surgery, which hasn't happened, although one could safely assume that he has the funds now (aside from insurance). Even that would still be a lie, a completely false belief, one that every cell in his body would bear scientific witness against.
No, he is simply making hay while the sun shines, playing at being a woman while clearly remaining a male, because some people fall for it, and it is paying the bills. The real question would be what he does once that is no longer the case. That may or may not happen any time soon; it is essentially moot until such a time.
Reality is that (for whatever reasons one wishes to ascribe) he is a gay man in a dress.
Yes. He is a gay man in a dress.
Attractive to men who fail with real females. Gays aren’t real tolerant toward trans females.
You know, it's a strange thing. That scene in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" with Tim Curry singing in the swimming pool, I thought it was powerfully sexually compelling.
And I'm a real, straight girl.
Been in too many gay/lesbian bars to think they tolerate pretenders. Recall that drag shows were generally to mock women. Bringing them into mainstream was always curious to me but women seem to enjoy them. That might mean something beyond my knowledge. All the MTF trans I’ve known (2) only wanted to fly low and try to fit in.
He is a gay guy from a wealthy devoutly Catholic family and got a degree in musical theater and toured in "The Book of Mormon" and then Our Plague Era hit and he handled being confined to home without a job very poorly and found TikTok and decided he was really a girl.
Still considers himself a Catholic though.
It's quite sad; the surgeries haven't been able to obliterate his male bone structure even on his face.
Maybe he was awaiting money for that surgery but jobless and his parents limited his options. Surgery has been amazing in reworking faces. Sad that many males retain fears of being <gasp> a homo.
Do you remember the Heather Grimm case?
Heather was a big hefty girl from rural VA who realized she was gay by HS.
Heather's mother loved her but their Baptist faith and community made it hard to accept the reality of a lesbian daughter.
It was much, much easier to accept the idea that Heather was really a boy who'd been born in the wrong body. After all, babies are born with defective hearts, say, all the time, and doctors need to fix the problem. Sometimes bodies just come out wrong, don't they?
Heather began presenting as male at school, changed her name to Gavin, and demanded the right to use the boys' bathroom because she felt it was wrong to make her use the girls' bathroom because she wasn't really a girl.
Heather/Gavin got lots of legal assistance from the usual gang of idiots and now that's why many school districts in VA are forcing little girls to accept having boys in their bathrooms.
If Heather's one mommy had been able to accept having a lesbian daughter in her family we might not be here in this deranged social place right now.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
—Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World
As we are witnessing...
Word manglers - Think the meaning of words is arbitrary (yet get offended by utterances of specific phrases). Want to hold the reins of language to steer society as they see fit.
They’re not poets seeking the sublime through the gaps between the sounds and meanings of words. They’re not writers, stretching the limits of language to deliver ideas that come from a space beyond words. They’re not satirists poking holes in the fabric of wordplay.
No, they don’t care about words beyond the power it serves them over others.
And I, for one, decline to value the utterances of people who see language that way.
They may as well be grunting.
When I look at problems like the one we as a nation have regarding public lying and propaganda, I ask “what is the fundamental / core / primary cause, and how did it evolve into the current situation.
I think I have been wrong to take that approach; it is too time consuming, if and when you find the answers, the game has already changed, the dynamics of reality have morphed, and last year’s solution will not work (sort of like the Covid vax).
The problem with Kimmel isn’t Kimmel, or free speech; it’s the fact that a subsidiary of a corporate / conglomerate subsidiary is allowed to use valuable public airwaves to spout political propaganda. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
I am so tired of the lies! - the intentional, practiced, focus-group-tested, professional lies.
If Kimmel returns, Disney needs to be punished, again.
I cannot stand disney...
