Unfortunately for the braphog OP, some users are too to realize that RADICAL FAT LIBERATION is more important than owning the chuds:

aren't the round faces to make him look like a baby?

I think that might have been the first one (with him holding a lollipop, etc) but now I am seeing ones where there's nothing else baby-ish about it, he is just made to look fatter and then memed

Gloves are off on Trump as he'll attack anyone without even knowing who they even are, without consequence. Remember this is the "two genders only" President? This is the President who's deported people out of the country based on having tattoos that may look vaguely hang-related. "Travel ban Trump? "Very fine people on both sides"?

This is Third Reich crap. Wake up, this is a nightmare to anyone not the status MAGA quo.

Democracy is honestly in jeopardy, cry me a river on posting images of JD with puffy cheeks.

"he said there are 2 genders"

You're not fighting fascism by inflating the Vice President digitally. It's performative bullshit that makes people feel better while reinforcing values that fuel fascism.

you're FUELING FASCISM by enlarging JD Vance's cheeks

The then replied to his own comment crying about ending DEI programs

This is the Administration that put RFK Jr. in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services, that just confirmed Dr. Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, that are ending DEI programs, that are gutting the CDC and is trying to get ride of the Department of Education. These people are not your friends. If you want an entire movement that is unhealthy for you, it's this stain upon the Earth. If memes of JD Vance with puffy cheeks are what is triggering you, my DOG zoom OUT.

Ugh, yes. And this happens with Trump too.

I absolutely detest him, but hearing people close to me body shame or food shame (cough Trump's relationship with McDs cough) ANYONE makes me rethink how I interact with them.

I'm still struggling to have conversations around food and fatphobia with people in my life. This type of joking in my blue bubble makes it even harder to open up.

STOP MOCKING MCDONALDS

I also have problems with all the snickering diaper comments—so gross and ableist.

Won't someone think of the diaper shitters

When people start doing this around me I will saying something like "his fatness is one of the few GOOD things about him!" It usually makes people pause, if nothing else

They pause because you sound

There are soooooo many more significant things to criticize about Trump than his appearance. It feels like a cheap shot or like they are making an association between his fatness and the negative aspects of his personality and policies, and then by extension that applies to other fat people.

Totally! And look if you're too burnt out to have a discussion about how he is a fascist and why he's terrible… the man has a gold potty.......Also man the discourse around mocking Trump for being disgusting cuz he eats Mickey Ds & allegedly abusing Ritalin/ dexamphetamines got to me. As someone who takes ADHD meds (as prescribed) and MacDonalds is one of my safe foods. (Boycotting atm cuz of BDS🍉🗝️🇵🇸).

I've also been noticing this- and with portrayals of trump as well. Like both these men are terrible but it just reminds me of watching Disney movies and all the evil characters are fat. It's like guys. Cmon.

if disney villains have an archetypal body type it is tall and rake-thin. it's literally just ursula and the captain from Pocahontas unless you dig into the direct-to-DVD crap nobody watches

Yeah I'm specifically thinking of Ursula… you are correct.

A singular example that is outside norm = ALL

Those monsters deserve ZERO grace. They are killing people with glee in their eyes.

They don't. The other fat people in your life do.

ok so would you call an evil lesbian a carpet eating cute butch? or would you use racial slurs against an evil politician who was a POC?

I would even if they weren't "evil"

Someone did something awful (I won't share it so you can remain blissfully ignorant) and the person who witnessed it was calling her out on Facebook and absolutely berating her for her weight. It was seriously frustrating. The guy almost seemed to see that as her main character flaw instead of her actions.

The fat comments and mobility comments with Trump are also super frustrating. There are so many things that people could choose that actually deserve ridicule. Going after weight and other health factors that people don't have a choice about is lazy. Pick something that actually matters.

I mean, that's just how tolerance works. Have you called anyone stupid? That makes me sad because I'm stupid. Have you ever said someone was not nice?....

Congratulations, or I'm sorry

What do you think tolerance is? One of the main points of the podcast is that fatphobia is intolerable because being fat isn't bad, because being fat doesn't hurt other people in the way that making stupid butthole decisions like voting for Republicans does. Being a stupid butthole is bad and we shouldn't tolerate that.

I hope every future passenger of yours does the same. I wouldn't set foot in one of those Nazi death traps. (161)

Remember when Elon was a Democrat, and it wasn't a "Nazi death trap", you know, climate change, and all that bullshit. You have issues with your triggered by a vehicle.

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

This is a truly dumb statement. A car with a gasoline engine is more likely to catch on fire than an ev. Do 5 seconds of research before making a stupid comment. (2)

I never said anything about likelihood of a fire. What you say may or may not be true. Are you not aware that when exposed to air, the contents of the batteries catch fire and that fire is harder to put out than a gasoline fire? If you crash and a single battery pack is cracked, it becomes exposed to air, which causes a pyrophoric ignition.With ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) cars, all the cars have sensible door handles and everyone knows how to get out of the vehicle even if it has no power or gas.The problem with Teslas and fire date back to before DOGE and all that, this is a problem that existed before Elon took a turn for evil.In a Tesla, the doors are powered and after a crash the vehicle loses power, meaning the doors can't be opened via the usual way. There is manual releases, however they are HIDDEN in different locations depending on model and where you are seating in the vehicle. (0)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

"principled stand" against whom? "I will waste a drivers time because I don't like the car they drive" The only principled way to make a stand is don't buy a Tesla, anything else is being performative at best.Edit:"I will take a stand against a company that is 100% US based manufacturing their US product, employ over 125,000 people, is the most green company around and whose demise will hurt many many more millions of people because of the effects of the stock devaluing in pension funds and 100's of thousands of people being out of work." But it's ok because as long as I hurt Elon Musk the collateral damage is worth it.I have to laugh of the idiocy of the people participating in these "principled stands" (3)

But if owning a Tesla becomes a liability, it can make you not buy a Tesla. Consumer boycotts typically don't accomplish anything because people are generally too politically apathetic to reach any critical mass. But "I'm not buying that because it will make my life worse dealing with the blowback" is a potentially much larger group of people. It's a tricky balance though because the right in particular loves spite buying shit, so you need to make sure it's a product that is too expensive to buy solely out of spite and no utility. A car is a really good target because not only is it an investment, it is something you have to go out in public with every day. It is attached to business as well, so it becomes a liability to you and your employer. I do have sympathy for anyone stuck with a Tesla on a car loan, but saying it isn't effective at making people think twice about buying one seems misguided. (0)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Someone catch me up, ion watch the news. What's wrong with Tesla??? (1)

Nothing. Elon is discovering all the fraud and waste in gov, the Progressive dems are terrified of being exposed, the nut-jobs are burning, dealers, threatening the workers, threatening Tesla owners and damaging Teslas out on the street & at people's homes. The irony is left loved Tesla for the "environment". Most people who buy Teslas were Dems. Now it seems the only EV that doesn't help the environment is Tesla & Elon is a Nazi. 😂 The people terrorizing and committing the crimes, have no idea what they stand for; They have no moral compass.

I don't think this is good policy at all.

I have a fairly robust education in economics, but I'm certainly not an expert. I've tried to keep thinking, "There are some very smart people behind these moves," but this is all making me uneasy. And I think what bothers me the most is that I get the sense I'm not being told the truth. Not necessarily "lied to," not yet at least, but it's like they don't think the masses are smart enough to understand what their reasoning is. So they trot out bullshit stats to justify what they're doing, which people on the right side of the bell curve can easily see through.

Src

Only reason the U.S. economy grew at all the past five years was because of trillions in new government spending and an associated growth in personal debt powered by new ways to get into debt.

It's all a mirage and I am as guilty as anyone of pretending it was real. But no more.

All the people angriest about Trump's policies are all the people who directly benefited the most from that spending boom that comes at a big cost to future generations.

/u/One_Fix5763 I hope you go broke, lose your trailer, and spend the rest of your life working for minimum wage in Dipschitz American-Made Widget factory.

Because I'm already stretched thin, and the promise of taxes going down doesn't mean shit until it's passed. As of right now, the company I work for just sent out an email to everyone in the company telling us that because we have a 46% tariff from Vietnam, if it doesn't get dropped that they are going to do even MORE layoffs after they laid off 200+ people not even 3 months ago. They explicitly said that paying the tariffs is STILL cheaper than moving everything back into the US, and I would really prefer not to lose my job when I'm about to get married, buy a house, and have kids.

I feel for you. Hopefully this isn't long term. I wonder if its all for bargaining agreement. Only time will tell.

Src

Because apparently the only country that isn't allowed to use tarrifs is the United States.

Src

makes an incredibly strong basis for fiscal policy

They're "unfair" because everyone else has gotten so utterly used to playing on an uneven field for so long that when it suddenly isn't that way anymore it feels unfair to them.

Their ideologies and the egos tied up therein simply won't allow them accept the idea that we've been competing with them with one hand tied behind our back this whole time.

Src

This one calls himself a classical liberal.

Trump critics (particularly the ones who, if he found a cure for cancer would just complain about him single handedly ruining the pharmaceutical industry) claim that tariffs will only alienate us from allies and cause them to seek other partners, and the cost will just get passed down to the consumer.

They don't get, or conveniently ignore, that the U.S. economy is not dependent upon other countries and that we can outlast them in a trade standoff. As for the "cost passed down" argument, they don't seem to understand that tariffs are temporary and are a means to end to get other countries to do what we want. Yes, it may require us to crack open our wallets a little bit wider for a time, but I think that's preferential to the decline we were on before. This is an attempt to fix things that have been long broken.

Yes, it may make allies mad, but turnabout is fair play. If they're doing it to us, we have every right to return the favor. We can't be subsidizing other countries at this rate while our own debt is already at such a high level.

You do NOT need the new iPad
You do NOT need the new Cell Phone

There is a big difference and if you look at the people whining about the tariffs I challenge you to ask them how their lives have been affected in any way

I teach in the History of Science program at Harvard. My research and teaching focus on the intersections between various forms of expertise and alleged expertise (especially psychology and economics) and the ways that all of us make sense of our day-to-day lives. My new book, which you can order here and elsewhere, is about how Americans came to view "entrepreneurship" as the pinnacle of the good life, and what I see as the pernicious consequences of that development. I recently wrote for the New York Times on how this history can help us understand why Elon Musk is such a psychopath.

I also help edit a magazine about politics and culture called The Drift, and I've written essays for a public audience in a wide range of outlets on subjects ranging from the films of David Lynch to the exploitative labor practices of Amy's Kitchen.

Hello! I am wondering if you think the rise of the 401k as opposed to pensions has had an effect on entrepreneurship/hustle culture. And did it change the relationship of ordinary working people to the investor class? Thank you for this AMA!

Absolutely!! The dream of the ruling class since the nineteenth century has been to figure out a way to convince working-class people that they're like miniature capitalists. In my book I focus on organizational devices employers have deployed to that end, like independent contracting, franchising, multi-level marketing, etc. as well as tropes in advice literature that encourage people to think about their "skills" as a form of capital that they own. But expanding the ranks of people who have investments in the stock market (as well as other assets like homes) has also been an important part of that strategy, especially since World War II.
