Keep in mind Stephen Miller said he wanted to deport Mamdani and now Trump is just singing Mamdani praises. Mamdani is shrewd; he knows how to manage a narcissistic moron
@slclunk.com:
Why are people shocked a charismatic and handsome person got Trump to love him.
That man surrounds himself with nothing but wet brains, grotesques, and personality voids on the daily. How would you react to Zohran if you had daily interactions with Stephen Miller?

Trump, being in the process of sun downing, probably hates all the miserable people around him, because they’re all evil, and he’s losing grip with reality. Then a real human being comes around and is warm and friendly, and grandpa is just beside himself. He needs to be in a home.
@glittergore.gold:
a reporter asks mamdani if he stands by his statement that Trump is a fascist, and Trump says “you can just say yes” and pats him on the back. Trump is so conciliatory it’s unreal. Stephen Miller is going to punch a hole in the wall at his military base mansion tonight

How so many have missed this for nearly a decade is wild. Like any mad king, he loves to be charmed. The charmers will always do better than the sycophantic wet blankets. Guarantee Trump now likes Zohran more than Stephen Miller.
Which shows us that Mark Carney is indeed a Nazi. He can be charming but only sloshed wet shit all over Trump.
It ain’t hard.
@fergoe.blacksky.app:
Mamdani proving my theory that if you put Trump in a room with a charismatic leftist, bare mininum Trump would leave that room telling folks “You know, maybe healthcare for all wouldn’t be such a bad thing? People have been talking about it everywhere, especially in New York”
@deonandan.bsky.social:
Am I the only one not surprised that Mamdani had Trump eating out of his hands? Mamdani is so clearly a super charming motherfracker. I can’t imagine anyone meeting him in person and NOT being instantly won over. I suspect he might be an X-Man.

“When an off-camera female reporter… began to ask if there was anything ‘incriminating’ in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. ‘Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,’ he said menacingly.”
Tell me again how it’s women who are ruining the workplace?
Guess who’s at fault for all the world’s ills? It’s women again by Jen Gerson, Nov 21, 2025, The Globe and Mail
Jen Gerson is the cofounder of The Line.
A pernicious thesis is making the rounds in conservative circles. Built from a blend of evolutionary psychology and cultural analysis, it’s a Theory of Everything, identifying the singular cause for all of liberal society’s “woke” rot.
The culprit? Women.
According to conservative writers such as Helen Andrews, who elevated this discourse with her essay “The Great Feminization,” the illiberal effects of “wokeness” are the inevitable consequence of “demographic feminization.” That is, when more women enter institutions, they trend toward a passive-aggressive communication style stereotypically associated with women. “Everything you think of as wokeness involves prioritizing the feminine over the masculine: empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition,” Ms. Andrews wrote.Fucking hogwash, likely rape religion funded.
For an essay that lionizes rationality over emotion, “The Great Feminization” has a lot of obvious and sloppy over-generalizations. Yet many self-described level-headed men are taking it very seriously. So unfortunately, we have to, too.
One problem: Ms. Andrews never really defines “wokeness.”
When progressives use the term, they generally mean it positively: an effort to rectify systemic inequalities. Centrists tend to agree with that goal, but object to the process, abhorring woke tactics such as stigmatizing dissent. Meanwhile, racists rail against “wokeness” out of fear that white people will lose unearned positions of power and privilege.
But no matter your position, “wokeness” was a cultural phenomenon we all experienced, including the self-censorship, public shaming, institutional bullying, deplatforming, and rapid, imposed-feeling shift of cultural mores. It’s perfectly reasonable to wonder what happened and why.
But the soothing answer pulled from the well-worn sexism of yesteryear – women gone done it – is not reasonable.
Was “wokeness” a particularly feminine phenomenon? Ms. Andrews points to evidence like the reputational collapse of former Harvard president Larry SummersWTF!?
@eric-reinhart.com:
It’s bizarre that media keep reporting that the trouble Larry Summers now faces is because his close ties to Epstein have been exposed rather than because the emails clearly show Larry is a sexual predator who admitted to attempting to use his university position to extract sex from a student.
Raping kids and or palling around with known convicted kid rapist/trafficker Epstein is not a badge of honour! Summer’s dirty tastes destroyed Summers reputation all by his fucking disgusting self!, the rise of anti-discrimination laws, and the supremacy of corporate HR. This, she says, shows a move away from adversarial institutional norms, patriarchal rules-based orders, truth-seeking, and a general rise in social mobs undermining hierarchy and authority.Which rape religion pays this anti woke fantasy writer?
I think there is some truth to this. But Ms. Andrews defines “wokeness” awfully narrowly to make the argument stick. The cultural moment was perhaps more notable for things like physical riots in the wake of George Floyd’s killing, and overtly aggressive acts of intimidation. Mobs aren’t feminine; mobs are human. And to the extent to which they do harm, it’s because they are abetted by the failures of those in power to assert rules and norms – power typically held by men. Indeed, in many of the institutions swamped by woke upheaval, bullying and threats were met by leaders capitulating. But personal weakness isn’t really a gendered phenomenon.In my experience, women are much more courageous than men, and men know it, and hate that courage, foolishly thinking women’s courage takes away from male courage. Nope. Men need to find and feed their own courage, but many don’t want to do the work.
There’s a much better lens we can use to understand why woke happened, and it’s one that the right avoids, and that the left has abandoned for discourses about intersectionality and privilege: class.
In 2013, a scientist named Peter Turchin began writing about “elite overproduction.” In recent decades, he argued, we’ve produced too many college-educated individuals for a small or shrinking number of positions of power and niche cultural influence. The result has been growing political instability as insecure would-be elites compete for relevance and status.
Seen in this light, “woke” was not a revolution. It was a cultural movement that boiled down to class- and status-signalling – a way to communicate the correct manners by elites to other elites. It’s politics as a fashion, but one that ultimately reifies hierarchical class and power structures (as all fashion ultimately does). That’s why wokeness has been so ineffective at making any real or lasting structural changes in society, despite all its loudly asserted and visible good intentions: The visibility and the loudness became the ends in and of themselves.The fucking patriarchy will never allow woke to thrive or women to have equal rights and pay. Never. Thus why the vicious attacks on “woke” making it out to be something women and others steal from rich white men. Sick.
If we have, indeed, produced too many college graduates, this is the sort of behaviour we would expect: greater class insecurity amid growing pressure to conform to ever more radical intellectual dogmas to maintain precarious footholds in narrow cultural in-groups. Who dares risk censure and dissent when there are 20 others just like you with nowhere else to go?
We’ve seen versions of this play out in both progressive and conservative spheres in recent years. Arguably, Ms. Andrews’s own essay is an example of this from the right: a radical position intended to secure her own status among a largely male conservative audience.
To the extent that elite overproduction is disproportionately female – our universities are graduating disproportionately more women – there may be some truth to the Feminization thesis. Women are different from men – indeed, there would be no reason to pursue equality of opportunity if we were all the same. But gender alone can’t adequately explain “woke.” Anyone who misunderstands this fact is just looking for an easy out that affirms some very ancient and easy biases.

Stephen Miller explains how he wants to groom your children.
@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social:
“Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values”
Who wants to tell Miller that civic values include caring for your neighbour? Supporting healthcare, housing & education?
Somehow I doubt they’re teaching that.
@thecrazy88.bsky.social:
Miller means… Children will be enrolled in Trump Youth aka Hitler Youth programs.
And taught to hate and abuse all but white male Zionist Christians.

@littlebadger.bsky.social:
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
The people who arranged the event are not to blame. This seems (in my opinion) to be the university‘s extreme attempt to comply with HB 261 (Utah). To be clear, I would’ve been speaking as a private individual, not for the university.
TBH, I don’t know much about the law. However, I know my heart, and I will not censor concepts such as intersectionality and diversity (even in an indirect way). I’d rather lose work.
To clarify, this list was in the speaker information request, received a few weeks before the event. I was confused whether HB261 & the prohibited words/concepts really apply to me, so I reached out to the university contact listed on the request. She advised me that yes, they do. After, I withdrew.
