1. No kidding!

[rubbersole]

2. Also good at embarrassing rw assholes.

7. RW assholes don't get embarrassed. They get mad.

[calimary]

9. That's how we know they're embarrassed.

They get pissed off to bury their embarrassment. Should be a “tell” for the rest of us. They’re screaming in outrage? Ooooooh, that means we hit ‘em too close to home. (And they know it - and feel it!)

[Martin68]

13. Maybe, but I suspect they don't realize what they say is embarrassingly stupid, racist, or whatever.

They get mad because they someone is disagreeing with them. Embarrassment requires self-knowledge, morality, ethics, and the ability to feel shame for their ignorance and bad manners. All of which they lack. So they just get mad because they suspect they detect someone contracting the truth of what they've said.

[Evolve Dammit]

3. Exactly! It's just an easy smear that means we know what the fuck has been done to us, and

what "they" continue to do to us. Period. Fuck them for using it as a negative. It is overwhelmingly positive and crucial for our children to understand what the fuck happened for 250 years (or more). Good to see Jon more often.

4. Can't find you

On Mastodon?

[applegrove]

11. It was someone other than Jon who posted it on Mastodon. Go

to the Mastodon link at the bottom of my OP to see who put it up.

5. like it

[Martin68]

6. It has actually come to that. Conservatives now believe that a deep knowledge and understanding of

history, science, economics and who knows what else is a bad thing. This week they're calling it "woke", last week they called it "liberalism" and the week before they called it "socialism."
