Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
That tiny bit of hope I try to rekindle every night before I go to bed is telling me that a holocaust-denying YouTuber will have said enough absolutely deplorable poo poo for her to be "debunked" and disappear into the void shortly, but the last couple of years have conditioned me to fully expect her to earn a job as a FOX pundit within the next couple of years.

The one good thing about this story is that she's still bound by German law as a citizen, and if more of here holocaust-denying bullshit keeps surfacing (:pray:), she will be liable to prosecution.

grazing on public land is a normal thing to do here. The land is essentially leased from BLM or National Forest management. He was delinquent on many, many years worth of grazing fees, so the feds came to confiscate his cattle to auction in lieu of actual money. The armed standoff was random oathkeeper chuds protecting him from paying his fair share for his cattle making GBS threads all over the public desert. In addition, "his cattle" is a bit of a stretch, considering many were unbranded, generationally feral calves just wandering the desert

Their family is involved in all sorts of Mormon Fundie/Christian Dominionist/Domestic Terror/SovCit lunacy, and the Bundy Ranch standoff and the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge are just some of the most visible effects

The Feds backing down was really, really bad. It emboldened these assholes. Though understandably, Obama didn't want another Waco, ezcept 10x worse. The It Could Happen Here podcast covers the whole thing a little bit. It was a poo poo sandwich either way.

That wasn't Cliven or Rion Bundy personally. Maybe relatives. It was some ranchers who had been poaching deer that started a wildfire to cover up the evidence. The occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by a white nationalist militia (which the Bundys were intimately involved in orchestrating) was basically protesting those guys getting sent to prison for an additional sentence after their term was reviewed

I was at the VA one day and a vendor in the cafeteria had set up selling the usual right wing bullshit patriotic hats and shirts. One item was a flag with an eagle that said 'I stand with the Bundy's.' I complained and asked the patient advocate if the VA was endorsing armed standoffs on federal property because if so that would definitely change how I approached things. I never saw that vendor again. gently caress them.

The crazy thing is someone made a sticker featuring a drawing of Greta being sexually assaulted and then the name of an Albertan oil field company on the bottom. It's being shared around on Facebook between people in the oil industry. Someone called the owner of the company and

quote:

“You’re okay then with having your logo attached to a sticker that depicts the rape of a child? His response was ‘she’s not a child, she’s 17.'”

To some extent, this is an offshoot of the attitudes that generated "ok boomer". A shitload of politically active teens grew up in the current social-media hypercharged Online internet. They're probably going to start replying directly to rape/death threats with just a simple "lol" because they're used to the garbage.

Meanwhile, the government is playing a massive game of telephone and they can't get straight if the coronavirus death was a man or a woman.

If local information can't flow right from the states to the feds on something this simple, it doesn't paint a rosy picture for future communications.

It’ll be spun as a major victory in negotiations while ignoring the fact that troops will still be in Iraq and Syria and probably still in Afghanistan on some level.
