if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved
haven't read it; scared to look
hri;stl is the new tl;dr
This is so dumb and wrong we have no idea how to parody it. At least 16M people voted for Biden and skipped voting in 2024. There's your numbers. Just birdbrained approach to politics. Astonishing this kind of thinking got $5M.
go birds
For the blocked and otherwise impure -
Some of you haters thought we weren't going to be able to write questions that'd manage to irritate everyone this thoroughly. Bad call, haters. We're AWESOME at this.
Anyway, hope we did a good job confirming your existing biases, comforting you if you're comfortable and afflicting you further if you're already afflicted. Share and subscribe!
Next, we figured out how to generalize a question that's a serious dilemma for a lot of people. If you want to not invite Uncle Bob to Thanksgiving because of the bullshit he gave your kid about being gender nonconforming last year, you're either a Harris voter or a weirdo, or both. Sorry/not sorry!
(also, check out how we switched Putin and the Palestinian activist we made up in the order on that chart. ha ha! much bipartisan, so data!)
You may think the issue with speakers on campus is that if you're a student paying a big ol' pile of money, maybe you should get a say if people with odious views are invited.
But we figured out how to ask this so it seems like everyone has a right to speech... and to the platform of their choice!
NEW: our first poll is out! We spent a lot of time and effort figuring out how to ask questions to reinforce the worst kind of conventional wisdom and ask questions in the most irritating way possible, and the results speak for themselves. Excited to share in this thread!
🙃
we're not for everybody, fair enough
Another persuasively argued thread here bsky.app/profile/mtsw...
Actual Real Argument Mag people - @jerusalem.bsky.social and whoever else, hope you see this - this thread is awfully strongly argued and we really hope you'll think about it. Offer to have this account (maybe) remains open.
We agree. Tell you what, actual Not Parody Argument Mag people. If you agree to post your stuff on here 24 hours before ya post it on X, you can have this account. Maybe, anyway. Anything to help you get off the platform with an algo massively biased for white supremacists.
Somehow you managed to tag both the wrong one and the very, very right one
Both yes and no. You can consider the gigantic (PARODY) in the screen name something of a clue. (We decided we needed to label it because otherwise there would be no way to tell.)
@recolston.bsky.social thank you for fighting the good fight 🫡
Thanks, we love that our writers are getting a chance to put their big brains to work on new reasons to let predatory capitalism run fully amok!
All we ask is that you keep in mind that we are lavishly funded by billionaires with unknown and possibly nefarious motivations, so please take everything we publish with a big grain of salt. (sadly this parody account has not yet been able to access competitive quantities of capital)
Oh. God. This is going to be roughly impossible to parody, isn't it. What have we done.
Finally, a place to send those neoliberal polemics that Vox and the Atlantic don't want! Introducing: The Argument!
With a name like that, they'll definitely be leaping to publish stories from progressive critics of abundance, right? 1/6

We're launching only on X. We're not Nazis, we swear. We just basically agree that the Nazis are less of a problem than you bluesky inclusive language types. Like MAGA we're not for they/them either. Ew.
