It's an extremely cold take. You want hot? Here's hot:

Most people have a baseline of fairly conventional kindergarten morality, and Postmodern Conservatism often clashes with it.

You can rationalise the contradictions in your beliefs: "I'm not a bigot, I just believe in State's Rights"

But as American Conservatism gets more radical

It gets harder to square one's politics with what one assumes to be one's beliefs.

So you learn, when someone challenges you, to cycle through beliefs (and thought-terminating comebacks like "That's a hot take"), until something sticks.

Just Play Your Hand, and Trust That You're Right.

or

in extreme cases

insist that you have no beliefs at all, you're just here to watch the world burn.

But you're not.

You are willing participants in the burning of only certain parts.

You don't actually care what you believe, but you know what you hate, and you don't want to think about why you hate it.

On paper, you believe in Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Expression, but you also hang out in communities where Muslims and trans women are punching bags - and operate subreddits like SPS that explicitly serve to direct harassment at the people you hate.

And as I've mentioned before - the piper's price has come due on your movement.

maybe as part of that "PEP for EAS" it shouldn't be privately owned?

The Republican Party has entered the chat

SOCIALISM!!!!eleventy1bang

But yeah.

On the one hand, it should be a government owned infrastructure,

but also we need to stop relying on a 50,000-watt beacon to broadcast vital safety info while piggybacking on an increasingly niche broadcast medium,

but on the third hand AM radios can be manufactured out of a potty paper tube, some wire, some nails, a board and a rusty razor blade, no battery required, which is what you want in the event of a prolonged civil defense situation β€” which is why it ought to be owned by the government & used to do things like broadcast podcasts about how to do calculus and actual history & science, etc.

Instead it's subsidised & supported in hidden ways by taxpayer money, and the "owners" are left selling the vestigial broadcast time to kooks

Unfortunately, KRLD is the PEP (Primary Entry Point) for EAS (Emergency Alert System) for all of North Texas and some of Oklahoma, too. That means all the civil defense, amber alerts, presidential alerts, weather alerts, etc get broadcast from that tower first. And switching to a different geography / tower / frequency is a problem.

So it isn't going away anytime soon.

And its owners can broadcast almost anything they want on the AM voice channel, and do so, to the highest bidder.

I think you're referring to a part of the indictment which claims the (two, indicted) operators of the shell company (not Pimtool nor RaveDubbin) were aware that they were being piped cash & directives from RT, using "Subject A" style language to refer to the indictees

Yep. If the government has the power to outlaw parents giving consent to medical treatment of transgender kids, the government has the power to outlaw parents giving consent to circumcision, or revoking consent to transgender health treatment. And outlawing child brides. Etc etc etc

They are a banc of Republican politicians who have started to work out that "persecute the transes" is deeply unpopular politically in the USA & a foreign wedge op designed to destroy America by leveraging the violent bigotry wing of the Republican party - the wing that persistently and consistently loses elections and cases by parading their hatred and fascism.

This is not necessarily an amicus in favour of transgender kids & their parents, as much as it is an attempt to get in front of a massive wrecking ball that's swinging due GOP

This is huge. This is so huge that I wish we had four pinned post spots.

Bigoted, GOP-aligned "conservative" and alt-Right commentators were Russian wedge op agents, paid $$$$$$ per month, and targeted LGBTQ phobic hate speech, at the behest of Viktor Orban & Russia

Only if they can be shown to have been aware of the unregistered foreign agent funding and direction.

So … that comes down to what facts can be proven.

But the whole operation was set up to disguise the source of the funds and direction from the USA pundits being directed and funded.
