I feel like the contrast of these posts really exemplify it. I don’t fucking care about the white house ufc arena I just don’t fucking care. No one is going to make me care about such a frivilous fucking spectacle. I’m so tired

    Yeah sorry, that is a bad take. Multiple things can be bad at once. There are good reasons to be mad about this scenario (corruption) and bad reasons (pearl clutching). Neither takes away from the murdering children, one is much stupider than the other, though.

    Just because he is also murdering children doesn’t mean he should get away with theft and corruption, too. He should not get away with either thing. To achieve that requires both things being known.

    The huffpo link has accurate info. I wanted to post something without a paywall. Like, here’s fucking sports illustrated if you prefer https://www.si.com/fannation/wrestling/president-donald-trump-is-reportedly-now-a-tko-shareholder

    Or new york times, which is hardly any better than huff https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7319008/2026/05/29/trump-white-house-ufc-fight-stock/

        Yeah nice one. That was said sarcastically, as a very obvious joke about a literal gay trans communist dog. A dog that was communist, trans, and gay and what a reactionary would say about such a dog. It was dumb, but when it was reported I sincerely apologized.

        I think you are not being productive and I will not engage with you further. But I hope you have a nice night.

          Satire demands clarity of purpose. You were rightfully chastised for your unfunny “joke” and all my other critiques still stand.

          Sarcastic racism is still racism, sarcastic queerphobia is still that, if you don’t make it clear then you are at fault.
