Edit: they also get really mad when you say it back. Calling them a commie over their desire to control everyone is funny as hell.

On Monday I talked about a growing rage, and my examples were from gubmint but other sectors also contribute. Let's look at the Tech Bros and AI.
> "Amazon is buying physical books, cutting off their bindings, scanning the pages for AI training, and destroying the originals, according to a new investigation from 404 Media that traced a roughly 1,000-book order to one of the company’s Las Vegas warehouses.
404 Media [404 article behind paywall] worked with a bookseller who received the order through Biblio, an online marketplace for used and rare books. The publication hid an AirTag inside one book and followed it to Amazon’s LAS8 warehouse in North Las Vegas, where an operation called VGT3 scans books for AI training.

HOW MANY BOOKS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED?
Nobody knows. Court documents unsealed during the Anthropic case revealed the company planned to scan between 500,000 to 2 million books over a single six-month vendor contract. Internal documents said it planned to “destructively scan all the books in the world.” ...
This whole thing disgusts me. I'm a bibliophile and my home library has about 400 books including 35 autographed first editions and a few fanzines. (I attended an event featuring Roger Zelazny; when I approached him to sign some of the fanzines his response was along the lines of "I thought I acquired them all and destroyed them [sacrilege]" and offered a pretty penny to buy the ones I had. Not a chance.)
Dear Mike Johnson, You should happy about these radical socialists winning the primaries. If these new candidates from the left are so bad for the country, then that should make it an easier Nov election for your great team of candidates, right?
You remember how, for the last few weeks of the election, Harris's campaign was aimed at Republican voters? This is the right's version of that. They're hoping to scare Democratic voters away from voting for Democrats.
As the parent of an elementary schooler, to me this is an obvious capitalist grab for Panera brand awareness among families. Swear to god if you give my 8 year old one (1) slice of pizza or chicken finger from any company with big logos all over their packaging, my kid will beg to go there on a daily basis, for years. And mention it every time we drive by.
During World War I, anti-German sentiment ran high in Britain, and the royal family's German dynastic name (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) became a public liability. H.G. Wells publicly attacked the monarchy, calling it an "alien and uninspiring" institution.

"A Newsmax segment on the event started out with the reporter intoning, “Communists always target the children, "
Why don't these outlets cover events happening in their viewers communities?
You can only cover so many Frank Sinatra "interpreters" before you go mad.
“Communists always target the children, and this weekend in New York City, Mayor Mamdani is playing babysitter.”
I would love to see this poll. I can only imagine the results if Newsmax ran it.
Who would you rather leave your child alone with?
Trump
Mamdani
"While he was at it, Johnson warned again of the threat posed to America by “mini-Mamdanis,” his term for Democratic candidates who embrace the communist belief that government should improve society somewhat."
Sez the Mini Speakerette...
Yes, good government types invariably turn to communism.
The closest Mamdani comes to being a Marxist is when he watches Duck Soup on TCM.
Mamdani: Come along kids, there'll be food, and basketball, and games. You'll love the party.
MAGA: SEE! He said they'll love the party. The Communist party!

An instant award to whichever reporter stands up and ask him, "Mr. Trump, that makes you pro-Communist."
Yes, that's how decades-long alliances between nations works, Don.

1) 400 book library. Awesome
2) there’s a video of the machine that cuts the. backbone off the book
3) Sad.
all your book are belong to us.
the tech bois want to charge for access to all knowledge.

Dear Mike Johnson, You should happy about these radical socialists winning the primaries. If these new candidates from the left are so bad for the country, then that should make it an easier Nov election for your great team of candidates, right?
The GOP's candidates here are running against the people of the state and are calling us names. I don't think that is how elections work.
You remember how, for the last few weeks of the election, Harris's campaign was aimed at Republican voters? This is the right's version of that. They're hoping to scare Democratic voters away from voting for Democrats.
Here's hoping it's equally effective.
TRUE... OR ABSOLUTELY TRUE?

In re: "trans illegal aliens"
During World War I, anti-German sentiment ran high in Britain, and the royal family's German dynastic name (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) became a public liability. H.G. Wells publicly attacked the monarchy, calling it an "alien and uninspiring" institution.
King George V deeply resented the accusation and commented: "I may be uninspiring, but I'll be damned if I'm alien."
"how many little American kids will be molested and/or raped by trans illegal aliens"?
Probably a lot fewer than if they had priests, pastors, and/or republicans running it.
I was raped by a waitress.
