no I mean like I can't process the meaning of that specific sentence

what are the referents of the metaphor

I'd like to point out that the Amy Dallon Hatedom is now categorically more evil than Leopold II, 2nd King Of The Belgians. In terms of individual human beings, if the Amy Dallon Hatedom were classified as an individual, they would only be below Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Adolf Hitler, Hong Xiuquan, Genghis Khan, and, if counted, Christopher Columbus and Gavrilo Princip. They dwarf Pol Pot, all Kims of NK combined, any Russian Tsar, Tamerlane, every side of the Iraq War, Winston Churchill, Yahya Khan, and Ismail Enver Pasha.

a scapegoat for other European actors to sacrifice to lambs of incipient liberalism?

I have no clue what this means

If it sits it has a butt

I don’t think the Sydney Sweeney ad is “crypto fascist” at all.

The entire point of a dog whistle is that the surface level looks fine, but the deeper meaning is more sinister

The ad is almost the opposite. The meaning is “we think Sydney Sweeney has great natural beauty”.

The surface layer is a pun on the word “jeans”.

The only way you’d see fascist intent is if you see anything stating “this person with blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin is beautiful” as inherently fascist.

Our curation methods successfully prioritize the things people value more than anything else: screaming about the outgroup.

Libertarians afraid of shoddy journalism and leftists afraid of The Algorithm and conservatives afraid of cancel culture are all literally scared about the exact same problem: Our shitty content curation methods prioritize rage over value.

You post like this when you dramatically end prescription fees or tuition fees, but Labour went for ‘ninja swords’.

Would you look at that, I was right again.

Why are people not woke anymore?

Can someone please explain how we went from the 2020 “woke” movement to this wave of conservatism in 2025? Because honestly, the shift makes no sense to me. Just five years ago, it felt like we were making meaningful progress. People were becoming more empathetic, open-minded, and unafraid to express their identities. Discrimination was actively called out and condemned.

This shift wasn’t just visible online; you could see the change happening in real life. For example, in my graduating class, around 15 students came out in 2020, and they faced no backlash whatsoever. Acceptance became an expectation rather than a mere encouragement, as discrimination was simply not tolerated. Nowadays, around 10 of those 15 individuals deny that they ever came out, brushing it off as a joke and embracing more conservative ideals—like aspiring to have the “perfect” traditional family. There’s also the noticeable shift in feminist discourse. In 2020, it felt like nearly every young woman identified as a feminist. Now, however, we’re witnessing a tendency in young girls pursuing a "tradwife" future and anti-intellectual trends such as "girl math," where the underlying joke is that women are inherently less intelligent than men.

I genuinely don’t understand how we’ve regressed so drastically. It’s not just the past five years that feel lost—it’s like thirty years of progress have been undone. An ad promoting eugenics shouldn’t even be part of public discourse, let alone broadcasted. People who endorse such ideas shouldn’t even have a career. Don't even get me started on those podcasts where men are proudly sexist and just awful human beings. It´s simply baffling to me how someone can be so open with their hatred and not have any repercussions whatsoever.

What’s most unsettling is how quickly people, especially younger generations, have adapted to this shift. Please help me understand what social phenomenon has caused corrupt and harmful ideas to become normalized once again. They’re so shameless with their hatred, unapologetic about the harm they cause, proudly preaching cruelty without a hint of remorse.

I am going to register my prediction now: there is no ad promoting eugenics and it is a grotesquely bad faith argument to claim there is.

The reason people are hostile to you is that the "woke" movement are relentlessly cruel liars that basically amounted to a crowdsourced case of borderline personality disorder. And you never even noticed because every time anyone spoke up about all the horribly cruel and destructive things you did, or all the things you said that were grotesque and obvious lies, you could not permit yourself to understand them. You did then what you're going to do now: any time someone points out how openly fucking malevolent your movement became in actual real life in the world, you said "Well we say we're for acceptance and tolerance, so anyone who has a problem with anything we do must be a fascist who hates tolerance."

Then you and all your friends went back to bullying everyone you noticed, lying with every word out of your mouths, and doing more to annihilate racial harmony than the Klan could ever dream of. And you will not stop, and you will not be stopped. You haven't lost any power to do what matters, to do the only thing you ever did, which is punish people for not killing themselves. You just raised the alarm when you noticed that more than zero people weren't publicly self-mutilating in order to try and avert your gaze, but don't worry, your movement's quest to annihilate every part of the human experience that isn't cruelty games continues unabated and deathless.

You will read all of this and conclude "What a reactionary racist fascist, to be so upset by a movement that only works for tolerance and has no other traits and never did anything else!" This is because suicide is the answer and you are why.

Maybe your story doesn't need to be so grand in scope it requires you to defeat all of racism?

It's always disappointing when a series makes a big deal about societal and structural problems in it's setting, making readers think it has interesting things to say about the subject, only to then resolve the problems by fighting The CEO of Racism, John Racist, so that all of society's problems would then get better because they promoted a new CEO.
