Bard spotting on Bluesky 19 September 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

She's 30

Her fiancée is 50

Her wild fling is 70

(And is missing part of his brain)

The writers for this season have really been hitting the sauce

Micah (@rincewind.run):

Nuzzi was hooking up with RFK Jr?!

I feel bad for our political coverage, but this is tremendous content

Olivia Nuzzi on leave from New York magazine after RFK relationship

Maladroithe (@maladroithe.bsky.social):

I simply do not have the bandwidth for this, shan't, no thank

Micah (@rincewind.run):

your bio has never been more relevant

Maladroithe (@maladroithe.bsky.social):

I have healthy and robust boundaries and they fall so so very short of imagining what RFK sounds like when he cums (like throwing lug nuts into a wood chipper, probably)

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Brain bleach, chilled, one ounce

Puckett (@puckett101.bsky.social):

Just ... leave the bottle please?

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

When voters go to the polls, they will be asking themselves,

"Will I vote for a weirdo who simultaneously cheatins on his wife with her sister while calling himself a Nazi, or — literally anyone else"

Coach Walz Finstock (@coachfinstock.bsky.social):

Lmaoo the NCGOP is doubling down and backing up Robinson.

Really telling on yourself calling it "personality contest" when one candidate is a self-professed Nazi

potz(er)🏳️⚧️🐉🦝 (@feral-bear.bsky.social):

the answer will shock you!

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The GOP attacks on Haitian Immigrants are Fascist Tactics Bingo.

As best as I can, here they are - promos for Jason Stanley's How Fascism Works, (1/3)

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Invoking a mythic past (MAGA), using propaganda, rejecting the knowledge of experts that debunk their claims, to maintain an unreality, impose a hierarchy, claim victimhood, invoke Law & Order, charge sexual anxiety, set in Sodom & Gomorrah & championing the Arbeit Macht Frei principle.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It not only can happen here, it is happening here.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

At another time I'd write 3,000 words analysing it all, but I am simply weary. What carries me through the day, is seeing many people take notice and stand up for what's right, and for that I'm grateful.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

[vagueposting]

It's always cool to surface an item showing:

A "moderator" of /r/ShitPoliticsSays & other hatemongering / harassment subreddits writing glowingly about Nick Fuentes while effectively writing "The Nazis had a point" & repeating Nazi sexual anxiety rhetoric targeting Jews

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

"Austrian Painter" would have been accurate

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

One of the things that the American new right/alt right really did excel at was this full spectrum fascist movement that represents a whole host of different viewpoints on what a modern "large tent" fascist movement might look like. The button down fascism of Richard Spencer outwardly was colorblind

Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes.bsky.social):

I will be the first to admit I failed to anticipate "Rainbow Coalition of Nazis" as a hot new trend in American politics.

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

It's one of the schisms we see pop-up every once in a while today within that large fascist tent. Some want to be more outwardly racist into the clan or other racist groups someone to be more Nazi and thus hate anyone who is not white. Some are technofascists who want to dominate those seen as serfs

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

But the overarching umbrella that they all fall under within that new right movement is fascism and that is something that Spencer really did champion by making it colorblind at the national level and Robinson is a great example of that.

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

Hey @skywitches.net thought of a talk you and I had a while ago putting this together

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Yep. The turnkey insight one of them had (& I can't recall which) is that

You can't seriously simultaneously plan to gain power from a mass-based militancy & plan as if yr insular ethnosupremacist movement is actually "a minority"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The "Nazi-adjacent", "antisemitism adjacent", "white supremacist adjacent" Free Speech "Watch Reddit Die" movement on Reddit originated as / crystallised from the people who were vocally anxious that Reddit shuttered /r/jailbait & /r/thefappening

jamelle (@jamellebouie.net):

feels like there is enough evidence out there for someone to build a theory of porn addiction leading to nazi ideation

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I wrote this 9 years ago & it's entirely correct except for the "why reddit banned /r/jailbait" part, which was composed partly of my ignorance and partly of a common urban legend circulating back then for why it was closed.

Reddit - Dive into anything

olive consumer (@machete.gay):

Huge props to @vortexegg.regretfully.online for being the other person constant rotating Wilhelm Reich in their brain.

Extremely cool and correct guy with a profoundly evil-sounding name.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Shout

Shout

Let it all out

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

A fun thing to do to couple with this article, is to go to Google Trends & graph out the frequency of the term "Antifa" in the USA, all-time, and zoom in on when it made the sharp uptick from ~0

Hint: Trump administration needed to manufacture a boogeyman to justify militarisation

Rich Burroughs (@richburroughs.dev):

This Homeland Security report about how they helped Trump fake an Antifa conspiracy in cities like Portland is a bombshell, and yet completely unsurprising. Thank you @wyden.senate.gov for surfacing it.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Literal "Manufacturing Consent" exercises.

In 2020 or 2021 I sat down & graphed out where it emerged on Reddit.

If you have money on "conservative & verified law enforcement subreddits", claim your winnings

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

There was a reddit user account "minisoldr". I have not been able to turn up any posts or comments or captures of, or mentions of, the account; it was likely made as a placeholder and never used. The archives I have access to are not exhaustive, however —

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I spent 2015-2022 cataloguing the worst of the MAGA / political bigotry subreddits, & I have no record of anything under that account.

So it's highly unlikely there was ever anything there

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

In one; no notes

Curry and/or Fried Chicken Hat (@kenwhite.bsky.social):

Here's the thing though: Trump voters (1) won't believe any quantum of evidence (2) don't care whether it's true or not (3) will increase their support of him because anyone "attacked by the media" is inherently good (4) don't think anything he said is particularly bad.

Cooper Lund (@cooperlund.bsky.social):

Now that we know Mark Robinson used the username Minisoldr everywhere, including porno forums, people like @girlbosswoman on Twitter can dig up his other weird hobbies, like taking photos of his Nazi soldier dolls

mr. implausible (@mr-implausible.bsky.social):

deleted reddit account :-(

Sage 🏳️⚧️🇧🇷🏳️🌈 (@trans.bsky.social):

there are ways of pulling up deleted reddit accounts, just sayin

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Archive.org has no captures of the account, the username was never mentioned by a welcome bot autoresponder, no archive.is captures …

Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It's because Robinson called himself a "Nazi".

That's why he became toxic.

He dropped the mask.

Rule #1 of a fascist takeover, you never drop the mask.

Immer müssen Sie nur Schneidern und Schweinebauern sein

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Everyone* has a reflex to fight back against Nazis.

If you say "I, and my party, we are Nazis", you will lose

If you only bring online a slate of policies that happen to agree with Nazi goals, never taught to kids as Nazi planks, and forbid anyone in party to claim they're a Nazi, you might win.

It will forever drive me nuts that one of the most beautiful bits of lesbian romance I've ever heard was said on a TTRPG show shared between a half-phoenix wizard on a time traveling vacation with her weird dad to her tiefling rock star girlfriend via a meteor shower

And said by a STRAIGHT CIS MAN.

🔞 Resident Gender Free Palestine (@innocentrori.bsky.social):

Oops i cry 💖😭

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The Heritage Foundation had founders from Protestantism and Catholicism.

The Protestant espoused separatism, but died a few years back, & the Catholic resigned when the board launched Project 2025.

Gerardo Martí (@gerardomarti.bsky.social):

"Their goal is no longer to morally persuade the public of their religious convictions; rather their goal has become to authoritatively enforce behavioral guidelines thru elected & nonelected officials who will shape policies & interpret laws such that they cannot be so easily altered or dismissed"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Their goal is no longer coexistence, a parallel culture, all the things that immigrants & everyone else has to function through in US public life, a separation of church and state

Their goal is to seize government. And that path was through six lifetime appointments

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

They have those. Now they want the executive as well.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I confess my faith and belief in our lady and saviour, Moo Deng, who came to earth to spread a message: "All waterways are in spirit The Nile, and you are merely tasty morsels floating on hors d'ouevre plates"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

If Israel could augment pagers with explosives, they could have augmented pagers to show an arbitrary emergency command to the holder as originating from the leader of Hezbollah, like "You have been picked for a secret mission, immediately go to [border location] without delay or disclosure"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

"Assemble at [airstrip] and await transport"

"[arbitrary hezbollah member] is an apostate, fatwa, take immediate action"

Just any number of things that would cause the org to eat itself

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

or provide a clean strike target

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

But, no, it's "motivate them to unending jihad against Israel"

Karl Lueger - Wikipedia

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Something I learned from colleagues who deep-dived into the recently-busted Terrorgram collective, is that many of that White Identity Extremist terrorist group considered Kyle Rittenhouse & Daniel Perry (whom TX Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned of the murder of a BLM protestor) to be "Saints".

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

You couldn't ever get me to pardon a man whom a neoNazi terrorist group worships
