I do think the whole “we should have more grace online” pitch rings hollow when it comes from people who think the golden rule is cultural Marxism.

Love how Vance talks like the guy made the tweets 10 years ago and not a few months ago.

Yeah AND there are obviously higher standards for that kind of job! Like I said I don’t really care what Amazon engineers do, but government or education carries some degree of moral weight.

I'm old enough to remember when workplace professionalism and decorum was conservative-coded.

I'm as much of a lefty doomer as the next type, and I don't have much hope for the future. However, Hunter S. Thompson's quote about the hippies thinking their energy would simply prevail applies to the Groypers as much as anyone else.

If only the consultants didn't get their claws in the Harris campaign and they stuck with the "they're weird" theme...

Anyone explicitly racist is a liability for their employers because that's a hostile work environment lawsuit waiting to happen and needs to be fired. It's not "cancel culture".

The sick mom lady 1) has admitted to "blanket training" her kids, so they were probably too scared to do anything else. 2) she has been hiding replies suggesting she had nannies.

The DOGE people are essentially super-HR workers whose job is to fire everyone. Very bad place for legal liability.

(Except they can't really do anything because Congress controls budgets, not the executive.)

Also in vice signaling: the guy who tweeted he would kill millions of people to make his family 1% better off

I like the term "vice signaling" and it is peak edgelord move lol

There's Japanese internet lingo called "8th grader disease" and they are perfect examples of it at age 25 and 40 respectively (and I really feel bad for JD Vance's wife and his kids...)

Anyone who says edgelord in 2025 is a fool at best. And 'vice signaling' jfc these david brooks type pundits and their awful coinage. At least he came up with bobos-- a term with use. Vice signaling is just taking something that you don't like in bad faith and trying to sound clever. No one is obsessed with their own cleverness quite like a mediocre pundit.

I dunno, I think displaying, or "signalling," if you will, your willingness to engage in or at least indulge the absolute worst elements, or perhaps "vices" of your side is absolutely a thing, and so having a term to describe it, such as "worst elements signalling," is useful.

For example, I would say that a man married to an Indian-American saying "someone saying we should 'normalize Indian hate' is within the bounds of acceptable behavior" is signalling to the people who say "normalize Indian hate" that he's down with them.

It’s a vice to not want to fire somebody? It’s not about Indians it’s about not being retarded over social media posts

It's a vice to be racist and say things like "normalize Indian hate."

One wonders what the Vances talk about in their spare time.

Does J.D. tell Usha that it's all kayfabe? Does she believe it? Does he?

Does he spend his nights planning the Night of Long Knives for all of the racist Groyper creeps he has allied himself with and now spends his time defending?

I imagine he spends most of his time staring blankly at a wall, like the candidate in Parks and Rec.

Recent events have made me feel a bit of grim vindication vis-a-vis the anti-cancel culture contrarians who became Trump-curious and are now shocked at what Trump is doing and tolerating. This was all very predictable if you just listened to what Trump and his people were saying in 2024.

The ironic thing is why the uber woke/cancel culture stuff has been described as a type of moral panic, I think the reactions against it have been even more akin to one.

I'm a straight white male with relatively orthodox views on gender/male-female relations, criminal justice, public disorder etc. and I've never personally felt threatened with "cancelation" once in the past 10 years. I'm sure in certain industries that would maybe not have been the case, but I think social media made it seem like the views of professor activists in some obscure Oakland college were more widespread than they were in reality.

The contention that public school kids were/are being taught "gender theory" is one of the most infuriating. I have kids in public school and the overworked teachers struggle to cover the topics that are required per standardized testing, let alone have time for anything else. Now their ESL funding may be cut, which is crucial to serve special needs kids and others. All because some fucking pussies didn't like getting yelled at by Femlib2678 on Twitter. Sorry I'm venting . . .

Nah. This is just revisionism. "Stalin wasn't that bad"-tier cope.

Whatever you may think of the new right, the lefties were in full cultural revolution mode by 2020 and if they stayed in power the secret police would have come for you and yours sooner rather than later.

I feel a little nauseous, like sea sick, looking at the angles in the pictures of the bedrooms.

Kanye also said he's autistic (which I do believe), but clearly hoping he can follow Elon by posting Nazi stuff and have a built in excuse. I don't know why autism=ok to be a Nazi, but the ADL needs to make up their minds, as they excused Elon but not Kanye.

I’m fascinated by the genre of people who are so progressive that they loop around and end up sounding like a caricature of extreme conservatives when the topic of poor white people comes up.

You can locate someone with punctuation - if they put two spaces after a period or use those >> quote marks they're French.

"I hate this white ppl don't struggle narrative." It seems that someone could say this and not by a groyper (had to look it up). Not exactly clear what that "narrative" is. But I can imagine someone saying it, having some idea where they are coming from, and them being dead wrong.

If you search Zillow, you can find the inside of more houses than you would care to rob. Just type in any address in the US. Not all of them have extensive photos of homes, but many do. Granted, better to not post extensive photos of your home, but maybe you should check and find out whether they aren't already there. I know my former house (20 years ago), has lots of updates, which makes it nice to see what others have done.

I find it pretty frustrating that CHH's annoyance at online lefties nitpicking everything in a weird way has spilled over into "private employers shouldn't fire someone for being a nazi." (And if she'd say yes fire someone for being a flat-out Kayne-style nazi but no to firing a "regular racist," why?)
