One Of My Heroes,

Alcohol is a drug, yet we put it in a different category, by saying drugs & alcohol, to make us feel better and convince that we’re not in fact drinking a drug

The sad part is so many of the “pigs” he is talking about are supporting him because they have a sad delusion they will one day be on his level.  

He is parasite on society.  A cancer.  Like all cancer he will need to be excised before he kills his host.  

All good things...

We love coming up with new features to make your experience on Tumblr more visceral; when they don’t work out that way, we remove them to make space for new features. Unfortunately, group chats haven’t lived up to our expectations, so we’ll be removing them from Tumblr this month.

Some of you have really leaned into group chats, discussing the merits of various sourdough proofing times, sharing your WIPs with new audiences, and exchanging complicated fan theories on the provenance of Croki.

The majority of you, however, have preferred to have these interactions elsewhere. And so, as we get ready to remove the group chat feature from Tumblr, it’s time to take these conversations to your reblog chains, your replies, and your messages. We’ll leave your chats up until September 22 at 6pm EST. After that, well, the weird will continue to be your oyster.

Tucker is a douchebag that’ll say the most controversial things if it’ll make him more popular. Talk about selling your soul to the devil!

The illiberal right and the threat to democracy

One of the questions running around these days is, how can people like Tucker Carlson be so dismissive of Ukraine and so openly pro-Putin? After all, for all of its flaws, Ukraine is democratic, peaceful, and seeking to connect with the nations of Europe in a cooperative and engaged way. Isn’t that what the Cold War was about? Didn’t “we” win?

Alas, not from Tucker’s point of view – or that of lots of his fellow travelers on the illiberal right.

A quick definition of the illiberal right. Here, I am thinking of “illiberal” as anti-Liberal. This does NOT mean what are typically described as “conservatives” – e.g., people who want lower taxes, more guns, less government regulation and the like. Instead, I mean people who are fundamentally opposed to the long-term, Enlightenment-derived notion that everyone has a set of core human rights; that these rights require tolerance and mutual respect (most of the time, anyway) if they are to relatively successfully implemented throughout society; and that elections are the best way to keep a government going that periodically assesses and rebalances political coalitions to maintain a relatively rights-respecting, relatively representative, and relatively responsive to changing circumstances political system.

Illiberalism is by no mean only a right-wing phenomenon, although right-wingers dominate the sector today. Go read people like Patrick Deneen, Sohrab Ahmari, and Rod Dreher for various representatives of the type. Meanwhile Viktor Orban, the president of Hungary, is a prominent example of a political leader who has emerged as a hero to illilberal rightists around the world.

Thus, one reason people like Tucker Carlson are pro-Putin is that they are, in fact, anti-Liberal. They do not believe in democracy and fundamental, universal human rights, nor do they believe that people should adjudicate political differences through elections. Instead, they insist there are *right,* *moral,* *good* ways to live, and that it is perfectly proper for government to use its power to compel “proper” lives and values while at the same time punishing or excluding “improper” ones. For someone like Patrick Deneen that means compelling traditional family and religious structures; for Rod Dreher it means (among other things) making gay and trans people anathema. For Tucker Carlson, it’s all about race: he has repeatedly invoked what is known as “White Replacement Theory” in imagining what liberals, progressives, and globallists seek to achieve across the Western world.

Orban, notably, is a hero to such people not only because he “stands up to” the “evils” of liberalism, but also because he used the tools of democracy to undermine democracy. He was democratically elected president, but since winning power he has systematically rigged elections, taken over media outlets, undermined academic freedom, and otherwise cemented his power and his agenda across Hungarian life. (Conveniently, illiberal rightists ignore the deep corruption in Hungary that has enriched Orban and his allies to the cost of the Hungarian people. But eggs and omelettes, you know; eggs and omelettes.)

This, of course, is also why Donald Trump was attractive to the illiberal right, one branch of which is firmly rooted in conservative Christian thought. Want to understand why evangelicals and ultra-conservative Catholics dug Trump? He was their ticket to the illiberal future they fantasize about making … and he may yet be their ticket again.

So why is Tucker pro-Putin and anti-Ukraine? Because Tucker is just doing Tucker. The question is, are we going to let him get away with it?

I thought I’d found that person. Turns out nobody wants to hear another persons fears or problems. Maybe they will in the beginning but they grow weary of hearing negativity. Positive thoughts or people will leave you in the dirt! Even loved ones!

How fucking sickening! I hate banks and anybody else who thinks this is okay!

That’s how I think about my wife, I just need to have the body she so desires to do the same for me!

honestly it’s hilarious to me that body worship is considered a “kink.”  like, you’re telling me there are people out there who don’t get off to the idea of treating every inch of their partner’s body like the most bomb-ass sexy motherfucking thing on the planet that it is?  or the idea of their partner doing the same for them?  absolutely wild.  what do y’all even do, then

Why don’t you want to fuck your girlfriend?
