if you, like me, were wondering what the point of that 25 hour non-filibuster filibuster by Booker was, here’s one potential answer.

Booker held a filibuster that wasn't a filibuster - and he scheduled it to let him avoid attending his own committee's probe of his Big Tech pals. […] Oh and Booker and Dems provided unanimous consent to advance a Trump nominee right after Booker's speech.

Honestly, a couple hours over some beers might be the only way.

What's almost causing me to spiral is the commonality of socialism and communism being portrayed as on the road to monarchism. I'm not spiralling because I very quickly realise that these are all made by idiots, and/or that what they are focusing on is the perception of socialism and communism as being authoritarian.

That and "antifa fascists" in chart 4. AKA the Scists. lol

LOL it's almost as if the prerequisite to making a political compass is to be completely fucked in the head

Finally, someone has solved the political compass. No-one will ever come up with a new political spectrum again. Soon we will have world peace

As funny as that is, I am sure that there are nonprofits that are aiming to stop fapping.

It is a CIA psyop to prevent revolutionary thought from arising in written media, in that it's a self-inflicted PIP that makes you feel inadequate in your creative writing ability. CIA funding (obviously funneled through NGOs via CIA front USAID) is how it's survived so long with such a stupid name. Of course, now that government spending on the CIA is going down, so is NaNoWriMo. All that's left is for it to be supplanted by some benevolent Chinese competitor that people will say steals your data, or something.
