Name-calling and “vibes” were also the strategy in 2016. Racist/Sexist/Orange/Fascist have literally always been the plan of attack against Trump. I don’t see “weird” as changing that, it’s just an admission that their favorite cards have been overplayed

BurdensomeCount is just a troll, he has been at this for some years despite his alleged superiority.

What left wing posters are there even to ban such that it could possibly go the other way? Outlaw and Stingray?

I don’t understand what point you are making. You’re upset Carini gave up too easily and feel this degrades women’s sports. You’re upset people are questioning Khelif’s gender despite evidence that there are legit questions there. You feel that because Khelif has lost to a biological woman that their sex is irrelevant.
Is it that you want the anti-trans side to wait for Prime Mike Tyson to transition and kill a few women before raising any objections?

The people who cooked shit in a pot and now don't want to eat it.
This is still too edgy and cool for me to understand. Why not just write in a clear way?

Ok apologies, there was definitely an element of trying to enforce a consensus there and I was certainly transgressing. That said, it was hard for me to believe the user wasn’t a troll and had somehow stumbled here without being aware of the culture/consensus that does exist here (even if speaking of it or acknowledging it is mostly against the rules).

This is more of the same “you’re weird for caring about this/noticing this” when it is very obviously not just a weird coincidence

I don’t know this feels dubious. TheMotte has basically zero googleability and the idea someone would stumble into our dying spinoff forum years after it spun off is just hard to believe.

have enough shared experiences that their identity should be recognized. As it stands right now, the same cannot be said for white people
Says who? Even the avowed leftists that pass through here generally do not buy into this brand of fanatical anti-white hatred

How did you end up here? Genuinely curious

This George Floyd "white people are evil" peak-wokeness is not going to be permanent.
He literally can’t make his pitch for this group without reminding us how evil white dudes are by saying
”Throughout American history, when white men organized, it was often with pointy hats on," said Rocketto
This is the usual “We’re so sorry” organizing of whites
I will always love Scott no matter how much of a cucked cowardly bitch he becomes. Posts like this remind me of why he’ll always be my love

(I’m not the guy you replied to) My mother cried when they canceled Live PD as we used to watch it every Friday night together. Truthfully that is what radicalized her

At the moment the top post on simpssonshitposting: https://old.reddit.com/r/simpsonsshitposting/s/mvwsGG6CPf
I swear it feels like the new talking point just rolled out. Maybe this is what all right memes feel like to leftists but this feels really manufactured and astroturfed

I am reminded of arguments against the death penalty that turn on how incredibly expensive it is to put someone to death (when one factors all the delays, legal proceedings, hearings and so forth). It is strange because these activists whether they are anti-death penalty or anti-deportation act like these costs are some essential part of the process when they’re obviously not. Executing someone could be done for pennies if we cleared the obstacles and proceeded as efficiently as possible and the same is nearly true of deportation (nearly, obviously deportation is somewhat more expensive inherently).
These things are always just issues of willpower as @IGI-111 said below. Clear the legal hurdles, brush aside defiant activists and NGOs and you’ll find our the process is not nearly so expensive and our capacity would be near limitless

Eh they couldn’t even get clips of random real far-right guys like Sam Hyde or Nick Fuentes or whoever saying something creepy? This is substantially less persuasive than LibsofTikTok. I doubt this has any impact

Eh leftists always try the “it’s just so weird and creepy you care so much about this. Who even notices the race of characters in Lord of the Rings”? When provably the left notices and cares a whole damn lot about exactly this sort of thing. This is a typical female social shaming tactic.

I remember reading for years that men that wanted financial abortions should just not have sex if they couldn’t deal with the possible consequences.

This does not really seem rational. Women in states like California are at absolutely no risk from any repeal of Roe. Not to say that people can’t be irrational, but women’s opposition to Trump supporters seems to have nothing to do with actual risk. I suppose if this were the case I expect women in Alabama would be much less likely to date conservative men that women California, due to the greater risk. In reality I suspect the opposite is true

Loathe as I am to do it I have to defend Google here. A more thorough examination suggests they are blocking nearly all autocomplete suggestions good and bad related to Trump and Harris. My guess: an attempt to be seen as NOT trying to influence the election. A list of searches that seem to be blacklisted by autocomplete: “trump felon/felony” “trump sexual assault” “trump january 6” “trump lies” “trump crimes” “kamala/harris border” “kamala/harris border czar” “kamala/harris voting record”
Honestly almost nothing autocompletes for either outside of age, nationality, net worth, height, news.
One of the few exceptions I found was “trump stormy daniels”
Assuming my results reflect what others get, on the whole Google actually seems pretty neutral here and is genuinely pursuing a policy of “never autocomplete anything related to either candidate but the bare minimum biographical details”
Tomato appears to just be waging culture war. He hasn’t shown anything to suggest there’s more to it, just naked assertions that “rightoids” are completely devastated
