I have invented a new word: reactionize (-izing, -ized)

I am sick of people using the word “radical” to mean picking up extreme/out-of-the-box reactionary ideology. Fuck that. Don’t let them have our adjective, even in a verb or participle form.

Pretty sure this counts as news, as it is at least novel. I used this word for the first time a few minutes ago on Reddit, and I guarantee you that—unlike every other thought I’ve ever had that turned out to be a duplicate of someone’s previous one—this is unique and never-before-seen and I will not accept information to the contrary.

This has been my Bread Talk. Thank you.

Two words, Trump: pope mobile. Do it!

Wikipedia: Dunk tank

Can’t wait for Democrats to help pass this, and then for liberals to blame it on the election outcome and Republican-majorities that won’t actually be in office until next year.

Both. He’ll encourage Trump to go after China HARD, but gain some kind of exception to the tariffs, bans, etc.

There’s no longer a (close) election for which to pretend. Not that he was pretending much before, having enacted the fascist anti-immigration bill via executive order that Congress refused to (so as to avoid giving him credit).

It’s called a “mandate”, sweaty.

Don’t worry: Genocide Joe’s corpse (either the literal one or KKKopmala again) will run in 2028 and we can resurrect the emoji, too.

Dec 20. No Solstice presents!

Dunking people (e.g in a tank) vs. dunking “on” people. Enough to take away the racist connotation? Don’t know, personally.

Damn. Wasn’t it just like the U.S. and Israel against the rest of the world in the last one (a couple years go)?

IDK the difference is that Trump Jr. is close to imperial power, whereas that (pre-)teen was not. Politics doesn’t care about the powerless, and (especially with overwhelming fascist influence) will trample them like ants.

What happens in 38 days? Is Trump Jr. just calendarically illiterate, or…?

Fascists kicking themselves for not ( ) normalizing conscription-for-life.

Russiagate has never not been on the brunch menu.

Reminder that it was always a ploy for Democrats to pull Trump’s strings regarding belligerence toward Russia and escalation on Ukraine stage (with mixed success). We can only expect it to ramp up again now.

Ditto. Like 99% of my participation in Hexbear is here, in the news mega threads. Things seem(ed) fine to me.

The Democrats will not change their way just because they lost the election. The system is working exactly as intended

100% yes. I’ve been responding to liberals’ “will they learn?” takes all over and IRL that, “They need to be DESTROYED, not reformed.” Even if they did “learn” a bit and change their policies and/or messaging slightly (and let’s be real: it’d just be the messaging), it’d just be temporary and it’d just be a way to preserve their second uni-party ballot line and existence as the “left wing of fascism”. We don’t want them to learn from it, because that’d just be taping the mask back on for a bit. We want the working-class to recognize what they actually are, instead! Rip the fucking band-aid off! Anything else is just seeking to prolong the inevitable, and cause far more suffering in the end.

I think this is an opportune time to go hard on this messaging. Kick them while they’re fucking down!

P.S. - Also, the “ruling by fear” bit is another pretty good symptom of fascism we can point out, I think. Kind of a “meta-politics” bit.

This may be a rare instance of an actual controversy over the word “on”.

Obligatory “And we’ll do it again, too!”

Yeah, fair enough. I guess I’m just really fucking annoyed at liberals idolizing yet another arm of the state’s carceral system that happens to be slightly less torturous and is run in another wing of the empire. I shouldn’t give Moore too much credit. But his whole, “they’re on an island instead of behind walls, and they have their own toilets in each cell!!!” or whatever shit grated on me from the first second, even as I appreciated that it helped show how fucking awful U.S. prisons are. And, of course, it annoyed me even more to see a bunch of progressive liberals swoon and figure that “the Norwegian model [of the prison-industrial-complex]” is the ultimate answer to keeping their punitive injustice system around so no real radical change has to be made.
