Is this a commentary on how some of the pawns get to the end and become Queens, thus perpetuating the cycle?

JFC, it's as though they were going out of their way to hire the most inappropriate person possible for the role.

Whenever pictures like this appear of pedophiles with Trump the defense is always "when you're famous lots of people pose for photos with you, you can't run a full investigation on every one of them".

Which would be fair enough, but it does seem like a statistically improbable number of pedophiles have been getting access to Trump...

hur, hur, you said "willies"

Platform decay strikes again.

Bezos and the shareholders weren't happy with AWS already being one of the single most profitable products in human history, because capitalism demands unending infinite year-on-year growth.

Whenever you hear them cry that capitalism breeds innovation, the kinds of innovation they're talking about are this shitty AI profit-maximising algorithm that created OOP's problem. This isn't a crazy conspiracy theory either; I've consulted in the software dev teams of dozens of major multinationals and the projects were always, without exception, some variant on "how can we replace people" or "how can we reduce costs by doing something slightly worse".

I guess the demographics are focussing on the LBGTQ's

I've seen sentiments like this expressed even by otherwise normal people I know in real life, not just internet blowhards, and I struggle to get my head around the sheer lack of self-awareness that comes with it.

Think about how it makes you feel to not be represented for 30 minutes of airtime. That's what minorities deal with for the other 23 hours 30 minutes of mainstream programming per day.

What’s crazy is I instantly clocked it as AI slop just from the thumbnail, and I’m not even wearing my glasses.

Yeah, it's not that he did it per se, it's the idea that he probably did it because he's a classless fat troll.

Same with some of his policies; grand scheme of things if they were presented by most other people I'd have little objection, but because they're motivated by greed, hate or narcissism I don't want to give the twat an inch.

Visually it's striking how similar it looks to how Nazi Germany also put eagle motif crests everywhere.

Yes, and even more to the point, it's about how a group of bad actors have managed to co-opt feminism from being a progressive leftist cause to being a conservative hate group.

That's exactly the reason why trans bigotry as a "feminist" movement has had so much effort put into stoking it. There's a ton of dark money from Evangelicals being funnelled into astroterfing to divide progressives by forcing wide wedge issues. They don't care about trans people, they care about turning non-conservatives against each other so that they can scoop up the disaffected to their cause.

Ten short years ago the average person in the street didn't care either way about trans people. Sure, they didn't get much recognition or support from government bodies, but neither did they have this army of self-proclaimed feminists trying to persuade them to kill themselves.
