The strategy I used to get the bigots & terrorists scraped off Reddit was to go Karen & demand to speak to the manager about all of their bullshit.

Now, the "manager" is The American People.

We need a way to make the BS of Trump & Co into pain points for Americans

Trump may already be doing that


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The Democratic Party isn't stepping up to this task.

It may happen if SS cheques don't arrive, but barring that, it will take a massive effort to get people out of reruns of Friends and into caring about the liquidation of America


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

TBQH this is exactly the methodology of Fox News (except operated for something other than grifting for petrochem companies) so there are all sorts of lessons to rip off from FNC

The last time a Christian was persecuted by anybody other than another Christian who didn't like the way they were Christianing was the lions

You could not pay me any quantity of money to be the Chair of the Kissinger School of Statecraft.

If I ever did, may Anthony Bourdain descend from Heaven to beat me to death with my own shoes

Saeed Jones (@theferocity.bsky.social):

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Kissinger's thesis paper is known for two things:

Inspiring a rule about the maximum length of theses;

Being an extremely prolix rephrasing of "If they can't retaliate, and neither does anyone else, whatever you do to them is justiifed"

AKA sociopathy


Cinderella Mechanicus (@hroethgar.bsky.social):

I look forward to the day - although given the degree to which the US is in the thrall of Kissinger not during my lifetime - when it is well-accepted that his "realpolitik" advice mostly just massively backfired time after time.

The Biden admin had an entire working group that made a priority out of treating these groups as domestic terrorists. @raskin.house.gov chaired multiple hearings about the threat they pose. Now they're free and preparing to commit terrorist acts and civil war.

Teddy Wilson (@reportbywilson.bsky.social):

In South Carolina, Patriot Front marched on the state capitol building, and in Tennessee, the neo-fascist White Nationalist group is reportedly 'preparing for war.'

In lieu of a press release, I'm told the Dept. event will be covered exclusively by a reporter from The Federalist.

Under this theory, Marco Rubio can expel Canadians who say "you should stop threatening to annex Canada."

The hatred of Trans people & Muslims that the MAGA crowd promotes isn't just fear & loathing — it's a calculated political motivation tool. People are motivated to vote (or stay away from voting) when they're angry (and afraid).

And they're running the Weimar Germany playbook.

Re-intro:

Much like how @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social says that "Everything is TB" (his new book drops in 1 week), I say "Everything is T_D" — the /r/the_donald subreddit, a hive of scum and villainy, explains US politics.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

/r/the_donald was simultaneously a genuine expression of a segment of US political sentiment (angry, bitter, aimless young men) and a massive propaganda astroturf operation (they were in a conspiracy with white supremacists to take over Reddit through terrorism at one point)


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The team of subreddit operators included Milo Yiannopoulos while he was connected to the Mercers & the Proud Boys, neoNazis, etc and the content posted to the subreddit was overwhelmingly white supremacist, misogynist, and LGBTQ-phobic (also: violent)


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

They coordinated and promoted the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally which became a neoNazi race riot with a body count; they amplified every politics of hatred and fear.

And everything they demanded from Trump in his first term is on the table as a deliverable in his second term.
