I'm more concerned about the city planner who was so strongly against the idea that the path should be coming right out of that crosswalk. That's just insulting, like they WANT everyone to waste just 3 more seconds.

Sounds like such a flex move

I see more people aware of it today, but was there a burst in pop culture with idiots that then died down? The people who talk about it today seem pretty genuine and get good reception.

Look at the Cuomo / Mamdani primary for NY mayor, the DNC really tried to kill the socialist campaign. Most primaries like that don't get that much support against the "old guard" among Democrats, so most of the time, the actual good non-centrist option gets swept away like dust. The work that's needed to push a socialist through the primary is so much more than "you just need to get out and vote" because those like Cuomo have so much more weight to shut them down, it's so rare for that to fail like this.

If you don’t vote, you don’t influence.

That's the stupidest strategy you could have when you know WHY a lot of people aren't voting at all. The only purpose of this strategy is to participate in the degradation of voting shares, and by extension, fascism. You want new votes, you get new people to vote, and you know how to do that. The GOP figured it out (I don't want to say Trump figured it out).

Surely there must be a Naughty Bunny somewhere that could shoot that right back at them? Maybe not in video game trademarks.

Especially since the video shows they weren't staring at her ass. You actually have to pause the right frame to get that misleading shot.

It's unfortunate that fascists don't give back power. I have a coworker who was getting fed up with people like Macron succeeding over here, and he was saying "sometimes I wonder about Le Pen getting elected, maybe it'll work to show how bad they really are at doing anything and people will finally vote left" (he's from Algeria, he absolutely 150% isn't a far right voter or even heavily religious himself) and when he saw Trump the first time, on Jan. 6, it finally registered in his head that you really can't give fascists a single step in the door, ever, even if they're shit at doing anything, you have to erase them everywhere because they're not shit at keeping and abusing power.

What's even more unfortunate is that the other people who are in power most of the time ("center right") don't actually want to keep fascists out of power if doing anything costs them power.

Take off the last word from that title, see what that does

Yup, standard fascist procedure. All the Nazi parties in Europe want to be elected to the European Parliament with the very publicly expressed goal of breaking it from the inside to prove that European unity and globalism don't work.

What if there were elections every year? There's always someone who needs to act.
