Me: *throws you down a pit*
You: my leg's broken
Me: I'm sure you have proof. I'll wait
You: YOU THREW ME DOWN A PIT
Me: so sick of people always bringing up pits
You: YOU THREW ME DOWN ONE
Me: wow victim card much
You: A PIT
Me: that talk's exactly why you got thrown down a pit
You: DAMN YOU
Me: you seem so emotional, i only deal in logic
You: YOU BELONG IN PRISON
Me: this is the hate I deal with every day
You: i'm going into shock
Me: How is that *my* problem? *You* fell into a pit.
You: shut up
Me: See how the unhinged pit folk silence dissent?
HEARTWARMING: Man who crawls out of pit every day to get to work is given a rope ladder by his friendly boss.
Me: if this is wrong then please refute me

You: how could the people trying to stop people from being thrown into pits be the people throwing people into pits, idiot?

Me: typical, resorting to insults and attacks because you cannot refute me with logic

"Chris. These claims of 'pit discrimination' are just the HEIGHT of disingenuity. If *I* were pushed into a pit, *I'd* fall into it, too. But SOMEhow suddenly you're in a pit and it's everybody else's fault. People who always blame others are probably hiding something."
"I haven't heard of pits, or people, or pushing. What are these concepts? I couldn't say. I'm just not going to comment every time somebody gets moved from one place to another."
*distant but unbearable sound of a bone saw at work*
"Is this even a problem? I mean, really? *I* don't know anybody who's been pushed into a pit? Do either of *you* know anybody who's been pushed into a pit?"
"Come on. Come on. Give me a break. Come on. I mean really. Really, what's next? I mean, this is just beyond. You can't even make this sort of thing up. Come on. COME on."
"It's a documented historical fact that people were happier and better off in pits then they are now that they're spending all this energy crawling out. Also both sides push people into pits. Why, Democrats founded Pittsburgh."
HILLARY CLINTON HAS AN ARMY OF PIT DWELLERS WITH LASER EYES READY TO EMERGE FROM A CRACK IN EARTH'S CRUST JUST EAST OF SAINT LOUIS, WHERE THEY WILL MOUNT THEIR INVASION, WAKE UP, PEOPLE, MY EYES ARE OPEN WIDE, MY SKIN IS LASER RESISTANT, I WILL NOT BE SILENCED
"The president never said anything about an subterranean army, Jim, and it's just such grandstanding to suggest it, which is what we'd expect from the lying press. Also the danger is very real. No further questions."

There's so much scandal all the time, it can be hard to remember where we are, much less how we got here. But they say it's important remember the lessons of the past, or else we're fated to do...something, I forget what, I forget, I forget.

Full Essay: the-reframe.com/the-rot-goes-t…
Where we are.

It's really hard to know where to begin when it comes to where we are. There's only so much sheer volume of blatant corruption and noxious hate that a person can stay aware of even if they're trying. Eventually something pushes out.
It came out this week that NC Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson has in past years spent his time posting pro-slavery and pro-Nazi comments on porn sites, and other things of that nature, many of which are so bad CNN, who broke the story, declined to print them.

Conservatives keep telling us they're oppressed, and when they define what form the oppression takes, they explain that other kinds of people ... exist.

You know what? Let's do it. Let's actually do it. I think we ought to oppress conservatives.

Other people *should* exist. 🧵
Let's oppress conservatives with a kind and open and generous world that they will hate and fear specifically because it will care for everyone, even them, while it refuses any longer to accommodate the revenge fantasies that they call "self-defense."
At the bottom of it all, it strikes me that conservatives are driven by fear. They're big fraidy-cats, scared specifically of the ongoing danger of good and necessary things, of openness and diversity and peace and plenty.

We should stop accommodating those fears.

Last Tuesday Donald Trump shat his pants on national TV. Ever since, he's been scooting his butt around on the national carpet to dislodge the detritus of loserdom. It's standard wounded narcissist self-care behavior, and it would be nice if all of this could be *only* funny. 🧵
Unfortunately, it can't be only funny; Trump and his gang are engaged in some shockingly evil rhetoric even for them—promising that, for the crime of existing while undesirable to conservatives, as many people as possible will be hurt, as soon and as badly as possible.
Incidentally, this thread is part of an essay that you can read right here on my weekly newsletter, The Reframe.

"The whole point of the post-menopausal female." It was an off-handed comment, I suppose. It was said in an off-handed way.

It was made by Peter Thiel VC guy and podcaster Eric Weinstein, and agreed to by Theil VP guy and flopsweat enthusiast JD Vance, and it reveals a lot.🧵
BTW, this thread is part of an essay I wrote for my newsletter, and if you like my stuff, this is the best way to find the latest weekly piece. It’s free for those who can’t pay, supported in pay-what-you want fashion by readers who can.

"The whole point of ..." The topic seems benign—the benefits of having grandparents help raise children—which is a very true thing. It's easy for those who want to defend the comment to frame anyone who finds the wording creepy and sinister as overreacting.

I can't get over the signs.

Republicans held their Nuremberg rally last month, and shook their official MASS DEPORTATION NOW signs representing accelerated atrocity against our neighbors on an unimaginable scale.

The choice this presents is stark. It should be starker. 🧵 A nice-looking smiling older lady holds a MASS DEPORTATION NOW sign.
Sure enough, the convention featured the usual gleeful celebration of cruelty and domination as virtues, and the usual eager expressions of desire to continue dismantling our shared society for profit, and the usual listing of the undesirable qualities of undesirable people.
And there were the usual celebrations of bullying and violence, and the usual eager promotion of national myths of cultural purity mediated by a nationalist myth of purification through systemized violence, which are the hallmarks of any gathering of Republicans.

Recent "what ever happened to 'when they go low we go high?'" hand-wringing puts me in mind of this essay I wrote in May. It's about the moral necessity of dealing in bad faith with fascists.

Thread and link below, but key parts here: the-reframe.com/lying-to-fasci…

Here's how fascism rises: on a tide of goodwill.

Here's what I want you to understand today: These Americans who want to kill Americans have, through their intent and actions, already destroyed the thing you want to protect. The norms you want to protect are already gone.
Either fascists get their way, and society is no longer accessible to most of us, or they don't, and everyone including them gets to access society. Therefore, I think they shouldn't get their way or be treated as if they should.
