‘It’s frightening’: How far right is infiltrating everyday culture : r/anime_titties - "This article has no substance. It references Top 40 band as far right, but doesn't name the band. References generative AI making it easier for far right groups to produce material. Yet it's written like a generative AI horror story with the "far right" Boogeyman hiding everywhere. If everything you disagree with is far right, then the term loses any meaning. At this point, I'm not sure what is actually far right anymore from the perspective of these media sources."
‘It’s frightening’: How far right is infiltrating everyday culture : r/anime_titties - "The article is about a divorced mom that is worried about her son listening to music, that she doesn't like. Perhaps she should spend more time raising her son and not writing articles about what he is listening to? Or that's a far right take now a days?"

A very nerdy lilium - "The funniest thing about LOTR is Aragorn constantly overstepping the Elves’ personal boundaries. They come from a race where touching your heart is one of the highest signs of affection and he’s over here pulling them into bear hugs and slapping shoulders like a brawny middle-aged dad"
"Okay but what this potentially says about Elrond and the rest of the elves he was raised by is absolutely heartwarming. Because IRL humans need a certain amount of touch and affection and hugs and stuff. It’s particularly important for things like brain development and while it varies from person to person it’s still more than what elf kids need And it honestly looks like Aragorn is not only comfortable with this kind of physical affection, he’s used to it. Which makes me think that instead of looking at young Aragorn, and asking him to be more like an elf to fit in with those around them. Elrond looked at this kid and and thought to himself “how can I be more like what this child needs to thrive” Aragorn has been raised by Elves since he was only 2 years old. So if we’re going by Piaget’s theories of child development, that puts Aragorn, (who would have been called Estel at the time) in the pre-operational stage. Or somewhere thereabouts. So Elrond is raising this kid when he’s learning to talk. When he’s constantly asking “why?” about everything. Young Estel would have grown up surrounded by elves and elf children and just by virtue of not being an elf, he probably would have had to deal with feeling less capable than those around him. He wouldn’t have been able to do things like run across snow, and didn’t have the ability to see as far as they did with their “elf eyes” and I am imagining all manner of bruises and skinned knees as he tries to keep up anyway. And it would take some getting used to his new surrounding, but I can’t stop picturing the first time tiny little Estel runs full tilt across the room and hugs Elrond’s leg. And instead of scolding him or asking him to be more like an elf to fit in, Elrond consciously sets aside his own discomfort in the face of what this child needs to thrive. And if what Estel needs is hugs, then hugs he shall have. Elrond picking up itty bitty Aragorn in a great big hug, and being just as uncomfortable about it, but hiding it well because this child was entrusted to his care and he will not let the boy grow up feeling unwanted or unloved. And so Aragorn grew up surrounded by elves, but he grew up to be someone who naturally and unselfconsciously displays affection. I think that speaks volumes about Elrond. He raised this kid from age 2 to age 20 (so the majority of his formative years and well through his teens) and it was around then that Elrond’s own daughter gets back form visiting her grandmother Galadriel and meets this boy for the first time. So I have NO IDEA what the various stages of child development would be for an elf, but I doubt their exactly the same. Sure, Elrond might seem distant now, but there is no way Aragorn became the guy who is constantly overstepping elves personal boundaries to display affection without Elrond choosing to sacrifice his personal boundaries for the sake of a child’s well being."
"Considering Elrond was born half-elven and was eventually made full elven by choice, while his twin chose to be human (and thus started Numenor) it makes sense, as Elrond didn’t grow up fully elven. Elrond probably knows what it’s like to grow up as not-elven, around full blooded elves and knows what humans need. He’s probably the one elf remaining on Middle Earth that COULD comprehend what Aragorn needed growing up, as a human."
"Aren’t children like, very deeply treasured by Elves? What if Elves are incredibly affectionate with Elven children? And with Aragorn they’re like “well he’s only 150, we can’t stop cuddling him just because he got tall!”"

I@sarahreesbrennan on Tumblr - "I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know"

Christian Heiens 🏛 on X - "This is how every conversation about “uniting with the Left” goes:
Normies: “The Left-Right divide was manufactured by the elites to keep us fighting each other instead of uniting against the REAL enemy.”
Rightists: “Sounds good to me. So, what are my fellow Progressives willing to offer the Right in exchange for this grand post-political alliance? A repeal of Hart-Celler? An end to birthright citizenship? A total ban on anti-White DEI policies? How about we start off with something really benign, like no more transing kids or backwashing historical figures in movies and video games?”
Leftists: “What are you, some sort of fascist?”
When people talk about a “post-political culture,” they have this idea that the Left and Right have a common enemy against “the elites.” This is a fantasy. If you permit me to use a fictional reference that normies would understand, “uniting with the Left against the elites” is like granting Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers to fight the Separatists and uncover the true identity of Darth Sidious. You idiots. The Left ARE the elites. That's been the problem this entire time. The two are one and the same."
When left wingers talk about "unity", they mean other people shutting up and falling into line

Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 on X - "When Australian courts heard Ben Roberts-Smith's war crimes defamation case in 2021, they accepted anti-BRS testimony from three illiterate Afghan villagers who told the court in cross-examination that they hated Australian soldiers and saw them all as ''infidels.'' The court ruled that their testimony against Roberts-Smith was still reliable despite the fact that they expressed open religious hatred towards him as an ''infidel.'' It also turned out that Nine News Media essentially paid these witnesses to testify - one of Australia's biggest mainstream media companies paid local Afghan fixers to transport these witnesses and their extended families to Kabul where they covered their accommodation, food, and transport for months. Again, the court found that this did not impact their reliability as witnesses. It's very hard to see this all stacking up at an actual criminal trial where the burden of proof will be far greater. More than 20,000 Australians have signed my petition in support of Ben Roberts-Smith. Please sign here: https://drewpavlou.com.au/brs"

Wokal Distance on X - "I don't think people realize the degree to which so many social and political influencers live lives totally disconnected from what they say online. I know a lot of these people and Ive seen what's going on: Trad wives who sleep around, leftists who hoard money, social conservatives who are gay, feminists who chase men, fitness influencers take ozempic instead of using their own diet plans, both the libs who are performatively non-judgmental about polyamory and the manosphere guys claiming to have harems are almost always in mongamous relationships, wife guys who cheat, feminist men who abuse women, dating coaches who can't get a date, marriage counselors who are divorced, women who hate whiteness always date white men, racists with black girlfriends, feminists dating racists, uber-libs and trads are of course dating (and fucking), the feminst influencers and a number of based religious patriarchy types live exactly the same way - they have gender roles but their moderate. Almost all of these people are theater kids at heart, and everything they do here is a performance. Nothing you see online is real and you need to remember that."

Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 on X - "Someone just sent me the ISIS magazine that recently called for my death"
Dan Burmawi on X - "Muhammad began this tradition of killing anyone who disrespected him. Islamic sources record that whenever Muhammad was offended by someone, he would ask his followers his infamous question: “Who will rid me of so-and-so?” Today, ISIS is trying to rid Muhammad of @TRobinsonNewEra . But let me be clear: the vast majority of Muslims would not object to seeing Tommy killed, just as millions of Muslims celebrated the killing of Silwan Momika. However, because we live in a time of law and order, and Muhammad’s barbaric laws no longer operate openly, only ISIS dares to call for Tommy’s death."

Basil the Great on X - "🚨ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL One of the most sadistic and disgusting articles I have ever read This is NOT FAKE. It's COMPLETELY REAL The Left are JUSTIFYING migrant assaults on women because it may 'end racism' I have no words"

Insect farming startups received $2 billion to grow bugs for human food — and livestock feed. Now the industry is collapsing. - "There’s a ring of truth, it turns out, to the conspiracy theory that the globalist elites want us to eat bugs... the past decade has shown that even if you build an insect farm, the global market may not come. Of the 20 or so largest insect farming startups, almost a quarter have gone belly up in recent years, including the very largest, Ÿnsect, which ceased operations in December. All told, shuttered insect farming startups account for almost half of all investment into the industry... Beyond the financial woes of the insect farming industry, some philosophers worry about the ethical implications of potentially farming tens of trillions of bugs for food, as emerging research suggests insects may well have some form of consciousness and hold the capacity to feel pain and suffer... insect farming startups haven’t only sought to put insects on our plates or grind them into protein bars; many want to sell insect meal (ground up insects) as feed for other farmed animals. It’s a sustainable alternative, they argue, to the soy fed to factory-farmed chickens and cattle, much of which is grown on deforested land. Insect meal could also replace fishmeal (largely composed of small, wild-caught species, like anchovies and sardines), which is fed to farmed fish and heavily contributes to overfishing. This approach of farming insects for livestock feed, however, isn’t materializing either, and much of it comes down to cost... Farmed insects are typically fed agricultural “co-products” — like wheat bran and corn gluten — most of which is already fed to livestock, and so insect farmers have wound up in competition with big meat companies to buy up these ingredients. This simple fact weakens the narrative often driven by insect farming startups that they are putting food scraps that otherwise would’ve been thrown away to good use... And it’s not guaranteed that insect meal will be more sustainable than soy or fishmeal. According to a UK government report, the environmental impact of insect farming depends on a number of factors, including what insects are fed and whether startups power their farms with fossil fuels or renewable energy. Energy usage explains a lot of the industry’s cost challenge. Farmed insects require warm temperatures, and in Europe, where so many of the startups are based, energy prices have sharply risen in recent years."

Australian author faces jail over child abuse novel - "Lauren Mastrosa, from Australia, could face jail after publishing the “undeniably offensive” Daddy’s Little Toy under the pen name of Tori Woods in an online pre-release to 21 readers in March. The 210-page novel is about an 18-year-old woman named Lucy who works in a toy shop and pretends to behave as a toddler with an older man. The front cover is coloured pastel pink and the title letters styled in children’s alphabet blocks. It includes trigger warnings such as “age gap” “daddy kink”, “infantilisation” and “sexually explicit scenes”."

“What makes Baba Nyonya descendants less deserving for Bumi status than Indian Muslims?” - "IN the wake of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stating that applications from Indian Muslims for Bumiputera status would be assessed individually, a netizen has wondered shouldn’t the Peranakan Chinese, too, be accorded a similar status given the Baba Nyonya heritage represents a true ‘assimilation’ of both Malay and Chinese cultures. Given that they have a distinct culture which is not Chinese nor Malay, ng(Gua+Pi) (@xgpingx) who claims to be from a Luk Kreung ancestry (Siamese and Chinese) reckoned that “forcibly categorising Baba Nyonya descendants as Chinese is a form of cultural genocide”. “You may not agree with me but you will never change the fact the Baba Nyonya, Sino-Kadazans, the Peranakan Jawi (Straits Indians) and Hokkien Siamese like me have Bumiputera heritage in our blood,” he penned on his X account. Referring to a Sinar Daily report, ng(Gua+Pi) further claimed that the Peranakan Chinese were stripped of their Bumiputera status as the “Baba” ethnicity status recognised in their birth certificates during the 1940s but was omitted soon after... Beyond the Baba Nyonya community, ng(Gua+Pi) also shared that there are other ethnicities in Malaysia who are products of assimilation between Bumiputera and the non-Bumiputera ethnics. Notable groups include:
Kristang (European + Malay)
Jawi Peranakan (Indian + Malay)
Sino-Native (Sabah Dayaks + Chinese)
Sino-Dayak (Sarawak Dayaks + Chinese)
Luk Kreung (Siamese + Chinese...
This led to a pro-Pakatan Harapan (PH) current issue observer pointing out that little wonder “why some of the second-generation Indian Muslims, Indonesians, Pakistanis or Middle Eastern origin citizens end up having Bumi status due to religion and marriage”. “But six generations of non-Muslim Malaysians who had worked hard for the country are still treated as second-class citizens,” lamented Hector of Sector 470 (@BigJoe470)."

Couple Fined Over $4000 Because Thief Who Stole Their Car Didn't Wear Seatbelt - "We may have a new dictionary definition for the term "adding insult to injury." According to a report by 9 Now Australia's Today, a couple were victims of a home invasion and had their Lexus SUV stolen in the process ... followed by the man and woman receiving a $6258 AUD (roughly $4400 USD) fine in the mail, because the alleged thief wasn’t wearing a seatbelt during the getaway. According to the report, Leila and Hamid were sleeping in their Gold Coast home when a gang of masked intruders broke in, allegedly ransacking the home looking for valuables and car keys. Hamid was woken up by the noise, chased the thieves from the home, and called the police—but he said the cops never arrived, and the thieves came back a short time later. This time, they took a Lexus SUV, then made their escape. Hamid said called the police a second time, but they reportedly never showed up to the property; according to the report, it has been three weeks since the incident, and the police have yet to visit the home. However, Leila and Hamid did receive some correspondence from the authorities—just not at all what they were expecting. The coupe say they received a hefty fine because a traffic camera caught the thief driving their SUV while not wearing a seatbelt. The couple has until March 3 to pay the $6258 AUD fine, or they may face additional fees. Hamid spoke to a detective about his case, according to the report, and was told that break-ins in that area are “only going to get worse.” Hamid asked the question that many of us were thinking: How can the traffic cameras take a picture of the thief and issue a fine to the rightful owners, but authorities can’t capture the suspect who was behind the wheel?"

Lachlan Phillips exo/acc 👾 on X - "I'd argue that grunge was one of the first clear demoralisation campaigns, and gangster rap was the next. Empowering music kept creeping in (in rock, rap and other genres) and kept being replaced by satanic, nihilistic genderslop. Songs that were popular around me growing up were "freak", "creep", "freak on a leash", "suicide", "loser", "weirdo" and "I hate myself and I want to die" These were the affirmations that well adjusted happy go lucky kids would listen to on the radio. Similar sentiments in rap when I was informed by the radio that African American culture was being in gangs, robbing and shooting people, selling drugs and owning women. Britney Spears wasn't presented as a schoolgirl, but a whore. She was at the epicenter of this and you can see the effect it had on her today. Modern versions have Sam Smith and Little Nas X dressed as the devil promoting antinatalism. Mind you all of this under the watchful eye of known criminals like Puff Daddy, or Epstein pals like Geffen and Motolla. I assume most of the canon of corporate media - while many great artists produced great bodies of work - was fundamentally influenced and curated to create the generation of leaders who have been leading us into this current period of self loathing, uncertainty and nihilism. A large part of why I'm hopeful that a decentralised AI infrastructure layer for the internet might help people genuinely express themselves, and form distribution networks around their true wants, needs, hopes and dreams. I don't trust the corporate canon and I'm increasingly compelled to unlearn many of my tastes."
