*dueling banjos plays*
I like people who can’t spell. This guy seems legit. /s
Comma splices and ‘outher’? Definitely bigot. These people pluralize ‘email’ with an S, despite it being a mass noun. They’re sick.
You really think it’s correct to say “I sent three email today”???!
Not J jail! The humanity!
Why are you spreading his message?
I feel pretty confident nobody on Lemmy is interested in joining the Klan.
It can be triggering for people on the receiving end of it. That said, it might be part of a long line of things thay convinces someone it’s “normal”
If someone reads this, then reads all the comments making fun of it, and then thinks “this is normal”, they have a lot worse things going on.
Its more likely that they could see people mocking some views that they already hold qnd double down on picking up others. Fash are fragile. I know of one who cites the clouds looking wrong as what radicalised him.
Those dang drug dellers! Slinging dupe to our chillins! Trying to get my to smoke wood coming out of the grocery store! I’m just trying to by some monistat cream for the missus so her nethers stop itching.
Nethers ahahaha.
DRUG DELLER
These people vote.
A lot of them hate Trump this time around though.
Uh what? Also trump cannot run again if any rules are respected
I mean, it’s VERY clear by now that rules are not respected. By Drumpf or republicans.
I convinced some of them under an alt to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala because it would kick off race war.
Well, that clearly worked.
Well they did vote for them.
Most literate American.
Most literate conservative. There are still some sane Americans here… (please help)
Last weekend a friend told me that they’re involved in an activist group that focuses on political education for people with learning disabilities and mental health issues. The activists’ reasoning is that this group of people are often very susceptible to fascist narratives and fascists have no trouble claiming their support as validation for their ideas. (And votes are votes, after all.) One could even argue that fascist propaganda inherently targets people with reduced intellectual capabilities.
This post made me think of that.
There’s a study that says conservatives are less intelligent over all, I’ll try to find it.
Was it this?
That’s not just an argument, that’s fact. Fascists and Republicans (yeah yeah, “same picture”) both actively campaign to the unintelligent and/or uneducated. Fear is a primal emotion and they love to stoke it
they also try very hard to make sure people remain and become uneducated, hence why schools suck even worse in places that have been right wing for a long time
After he won the Nevada Republican caucuses in 2016, the current President crowed his victory. “We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.” Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) reflected on this comment as he asked Republicans to join Democrats in preserving the Department of Education.

No doubt that they do. I’m just not sure if it’s productive to say that this is an inherent characteristic to fascist propaganda, or if that’s trivializing the issue, since many intelligent and educated people are also drawn to it. Minor point of distinction though, I grant you that.
Absolutely it’s productive, and important. Also maybe I have the barest semblance of standards but it’s essentially a requirement to be at least a little fucking stupid in order to support right-wing policies.
Also, if you go off about how having a university degree and/or having specialized knowledge in one or a couple things is equal to general intelligence and the kind which enables solid critical thinking skills then I have bad news about which side you may likely fall on. I know many people good at their little tasks who are ultimately not people I fully trust to make good decisions on their own.
Also maybe I have the barest semblance of standards but it’s essentially a requirement to be at least a little fucking stupid in order to support right-wing policies.
Hypothetically, I think it’s possible for a person to support right-wing policies (in a nutshell: policies that enforce social hierarchies) without being even a little fucking stupid, if (a) they actually are at the top of said hierarchy (in actual reality, not their own delusion), and (b) they’re an absolute psychopath.
Yea I meant to add that on at the end and just didn’t.
We’re talking about intelligence here, a concept that comes with a lot of baggage, so I agree that it’s good to be precise. Critical thinking skills and good decision-making is definitely part of what I meant when I posted my comment.
In my opinion, your use of the term is in danger of
- essentializing intelligence: “This fascist may have a good education and specialized skills, but they are not in and of themselves intelligent.” I think it’s better to think of intelligence as a contingent and situational social effect rather than as an inherent property of a person.
- becoming a tautology: “Intelligent people could never support this, therefore I know that all fascists are stupid.” This type of argument just dosn’t hold.
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that fascism appeals to the uneducated and unintelligent, but it would be a mistake to reduce it to a function of intellect, or an “ideology of the stupid”. There’s plenty of dangerous, sincere fascists who are quite intelligent in all useful meanings of the word.
Have you ever argued with a tired, hangry toddler? There’s no getting through to them, it’s all impulse and feeling, lashing out at everyone even if you’re trying to help them. I don’t know why that just came to my mind…
I always thought it was wild that the Klan is so vehemently against Jews, yet, they worship Christ, who was raised Jewish himself.
One of the Christian Identity white supremacists has this awful podcast, and he has episodes titled “Why Jesus is not a Jew”, and “Hitler was a Christian”
Hitler was definitely a Christian
Ouch.
To be clear, he should be jailed for that massacre of the language alone. There’s probably a lot of other charges that would stick as well.
Yeah it’s free speech not free “incoherent screeching”
That dude has used biker meth more often than deodorant.
What’s the difference between biker meth and regular meth?
“Biker meth” is most if not all meth now. It uses phenyl-2-propanone as the starting point and produces a racemic mixture of dextromethamphetamine and levomethamphetamine.
Traditional clandestine meth production using ephedrine produces pure dextromethamphetamine.
d-methamphetamine is the euphoric feel good stuff. l-methamphetamine is the racing heart, more neurotoxic, nearly immediate psychosis stuff.
TL;DR - “Biker meth” is most meth now. It’s much worse for you and less enjoyable.
Fun fact: This is explained in Breaking Bad. … not the chemical breakdown (IIRC, so thanks for that!) but the difference in production.
Wonder if it made any impact on the popularity or still just tighter controls on ephedrine.
Just tighter controls on ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Any dumbass can make it in the bathroom easily with homemade lab equipment using ephedrine, so a lot of law and law enforcement crackdowns have centered on that.
I haven’t seen the show in a long time and never finished it, but from what I remember, later in the show they ditch both methods and move on to methylamine. Going that route would also allow production of isolated d-methamphetamine.
But longer lasting so you’re getting more bang for your buck! Plus there’s all the neat organ damage.
Good to know. I’ll keep that in mind.
When you’re… comparison shopping for meth sources? 😂
Based on my extensive knowledge of watching Breaking Bad, I’d say the answer is purity.
It’s like they had caps lock on, and only when they tried to capitalize America did they realize it.
