States’ Rights is a euphemism for the reactionary cause du jour. You can call them out for a contradiction, but at best they will just ignore you because they know and we know they’re not talking about or concerned with the rights of states vs. federal mandate. Then there’s always the threat that they will drop the euphemism and say that they want to punish promiscuous women and trans deviants. Trump has largely proven that the right doesn’t have to watch its mouth near as much as they used to think. Rather than abandon their political identity, the majority of the “moderate” right will go along with the new framing. The only ones who lose out in this shift in rhetoric are women and trans people, who are now directly and publicly targeted not just by the reactionary fringes but by the right as a whole.
If you’re wondering, yes, I absolutely lifted most of this from the Alt-Right Playbook, “The Death of a Euphemism”
oh we’re plenty angry, it’s more that the corporate media has made a concerted effort to remind us that collective action results in a high risk of skull crushing by our militarized police

Legacy media is dying, and the hangers on are old corporate types with a “conservative” bias and agenda. The same shit happened at CNN a couple of years ago, right? Hyper polarization is not going away. It’s the new normal.
Yes, that horrible jackass. He might have good ideas on paper, but he was a miserable “candidate” whose only potential was to muddy up a shit show, and he couldn’t even manage that.
for the record, like almost all big classic sci-fi, these books (dune) are remarkably bigoted and reductive. i still like space stories and political intrigue tho....
getting bird shit in my mouth. no, really. I have a recurring (but not frequent) “nightmare” about getting bird shit in my mouth through diverse accidents. there’s even an incredibly vivid taste associated with it that I can recall when I’m awake. I’m guessing that toddler me took a gamble for science and wound up scarred for life.
Hello, apparently hanging out in Lemmy inadvertently makes you thinking about using Linux. I am planning to install Linux Mint cinnamon on an older laptop, which I want to bring to LAN Parties.

I’m wondering if AI can already solve this. I’m not even some crazy AI fanboy, I’m just thinking about the possibility of predictive AI being able to interpret compression artifacts to determine what forms would collapse into a particular pattern.
I’m thinking of watching ‘Halt and Catch Fire’, but I’m also taking a hardware & OS course right now, and I was worried that it might teach me some wrong stuff. I might wait till after the final to watch it.
Doctors watch Grey’s Anatomy for the fantasy, not because it’s good medicine. Long, long ago when I paid attention, it was the general consensus that Grey’s had a lousy grasp on medical reality. Remember the ghost sex arc? However, the show that I watched that doctors said was surprisingly accurate is Scrubs, a sitcom.
What would you bring to an adult show and tell?
I don’t necessarily mean adult as in NSFW....
