    I think I used to think that. Like, I get the edgy 4chaner-esque thing. There’s a bit of selfaware irony in it all that can work…

    But for Shoe, after the Kirk thing, when she rushed to play defense, I think the whole mask dropped. Which, kind of makes sense. I don’t think you can do 2010 anti-sjw content for 15 years and not ACTUALLY be a bit of a winger. If you haven’t grown in that time, and you’re still stuck making that same content… that’s just who you are.

    Look at her contemporaries and people after her. AmazingAtheist/TJ/IntoTheFray was one of the OG anti-feminist/sjw creators. He’s still a bit of an edgelord, but even he’s grown past that content and matured in thought.

    And you can look at her peers in the space who sort of occupy the same niche. People like Vaush. Bit edgy, bit hot-take. But still has pretty consistent lefty values.

    For Shoe, her act stopped being an act. The jokes just became what she is. She wasn’t being critical anymore of lefty extemists, she was just becoming a winger. And her defense of Kirk proved it.














  • I think the key differences are quality and time spent.

    You stay up, watch a 15 minute (10 actually, ala US tv commercials) episode of ATHF and thats it. Maybe you watch Sealab:2021 afterwards too. At worst, youre extremely smoothbrained and watch Squidbillies too.

    Okay, so what is the total brain rot time? Like 30 minutes a night? 1 hour tops? Only on weeknights really? You couldn’t watch it all day. You could change the channel to something else, but it wasn’t “that”, all day.

    Whatever you change it to might not be “great” but it was still moderated FCC compliant content. Like, your channel scrolling isnt intermingled with a adult man telling children to be racist and abuse women. Not seamlessly anyways.

    Compare that the never ending, ever scrolling, available whenever brainrot that is TikTok/YoutubeShorts/etcetcetc. Its not even close. Kids are watching Minecraft videos and then listening to Asmongold atop of SubwaySurfers. Engaging with content and comments all day, everyday on demand.

    They are not forced to “change the channel” or go do something else. And what’s on “the channel” is (essentially) unmoderated content to children who dont know if something is real or the wider context.



  • He has been rich all his life. He has never had to work or achieve anything. He’s literally just been surrounded by nannies and sycophants his whole life. Leeching off him, guiding him through everything, working behind the scenes to keep him rich so they stay rich. Gaslighting him into thinking how great and “super smart” he is. He has failed upward since birth because his name means “money” to the people around him.

    He has no experience with failure because hes never been allowed to fail. No seriously. All his failed and bankrupt businesses should have been the end for anyone else. But his nannies and handlers keep him from learning that lesson, he can’t fail or they lost their meal ticket.

    Of course he doesnt know shit. Of course everything seems like he heard it for the first time. He probably did. He never had to learn shit in school because it didnt matter. He was going to get a full ride regardless, the sycophants in his orbit made sure of it.





  • But they won. Because the alternative was a literal maga crazy person who doesn’t think prejudice against LGBT people is discriminatory.

    Now, you can be unhappy that it wasn’t some mystical ultra progressive (that wasn’t even running in the race)… or you can be happy that at least the needle didn’t shift even further right. Now that’s not to say “Vote Blue NMW”, but it will be easier to field progressives in the future from Spanberger’s position, than from Winsome’s. And maybe next time, the magical lefty messiah Lisan al Gaib will be running and the choice will be between them vs the centrist democrat, instead of a centrist democrat vs a literal smoothbrained maga dummy.
