Jesus Christ, Wu played MAGA apologist? Given her history? She's always been a shit person, I just figured she at the very least wouldn't join the crowd tied at the hip to her arch-nemesis GamerGate edgelords.

I guess it really doesn't matter what flavor of bad you are, in the end they all gravitate toward MAGA.

"My enemy's enemy is my friend"

When your enemy is human decency, you acquire a lot of piece of shit friends.

sometimes my enemy's enemy is just another enemy pointed the right direction for once

The entire GamerGate/anti-GamerGate fiasco was a psyop designed to divide people and drain them of money and direct influence that was being run by bad actors and useful idiots. I had forgotten her name until now, but I guess Wu was the Useful Idiot type.

GamerGate was also weaponized to be used as tool to popularize far right ideology by Steve Bannon. The rise in groups like Proud Boys, Groypers and the Manosphere can all be traced back to the GamerGate movement.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I know. And while the GamerGate side was the far, far worse one, the anti GamerGate was also employing bad faith arguments and grifting their followers. Or in Wu's case, just plain dumb. Both sides where easy targets for each other's followers, which is how they wanted it. Who actually used that Call in a Gamer Girl service?

I guess trans people can be just as shitty as the rest of us. Don't hurt me, I'm one of you. Hurt all the OTHER trans people....

A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend's house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton's 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things."I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Damn.

Every conservative, from the most spiteful MAGAt to the polite nana across the street, all believe they are the exception and special. They won't be stepped on. It's all those other people that deserve it.

It doesn't matter if they are trans, cis, white, or black.

The core belief of conservatism is that they earned their place while all those others didn't.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, trans people are just people. They're not like magic.

The most fucked up thing about this was that her single issue was demanding everyone support a genocide.

Have the day you voted for.

It's rough finding out that you're not "one of the good ones".

If you love your country, why did you vote for Trump?

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 47 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Well remember yesterday when Trump said smart people don’t like him?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 2 months ago

It's always fun to see how close he sometimes gets to an epiphany. But it's always from the wrong direction as it were.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Indeed. And they have every reason to.

People like Brianna are living proof that MAGA is a huge grift. $$$$$

No idea who she is but still quite the meal for the leopard

Wow. I didn't know there were people who underestimated the harm Trump would do to trans people because their single issue was Israel on both sides!

"Ok, yeah, he's obviously raped kids. And he was best friends with known child rapist Epstein for decades. Oh, and he's convicted of raping women. And he's obviously a racist. And he's obviously a Russian asset. And he's obviously a traitor...and he hates my kind of people, but, BUT, we agree on this one specific thing so he gets my vote!
...
Oh shit, he's coming for me now. Who could've foreseen this!!!?!!"

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 37 points 2 months ago (8 children)

I've gone from being super far rightwing to now being super far leftwing over the course of my life; yet somehow, "Brianna Wu is a fucking idiot" has remained constant.

Stfu Brianna. You sorry excuse for an American voter

Claims: "Love the country"

Also: votes for a traitor

‘I only wanted innocent Iranians to be killed!’

Liberals acting shocked every time the fascists turn on them, instead of just helping them kill middle eastern people.

Brianna Wu is a name I have not heard since like 2018? Or whenever the fuck Gamergate was.

That second twit alone is so deluded that it feels like she was on all the drugs when she wrote it

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I recall her going nuclear on bluesky about the rest of the platform not supporting Israel enough, but I haven’t seen or heard much from her for a while. I see I haven’t missed much. Maybe this is why Leo hasn’t had her on TWiT in ages, lol.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 2 months ago

Look I know the party I voted for wants to get rid of me and everybody like me, but there's somebody else I hate and that's what's important!

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

People thinking they are famous on social media is one of the largest downfalls of society. Openly voting for a traitor and a pedophile so you can blend in with the other MAGA's isn't the flex you think it is.

image of blurry, potato-quality text without link to source or text alternative

Instead of posting that in a way that breaks accessibility, searchability, authenticability, and fault tolerance for no compelling reason while making the web less usable, could OP try at least linking to sources?

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Maybe being on Twitter is a huge component of the problem...

She’s a professional victim, it’s nothing but a grift. Also lol she looks nothing like those photos she posted. That’s like a completely different person.
