That was incredible and horrifying. The whole thing was shut down and forgotten almost overnight. "believe Women"
“coolest”
even
The same mechanisms that shut down accusations from people never actually went away, so when it became inconvenient to "believe women" they revved them back up and buried the story
Tara Reade ended up moving to Russia over it, which y'know, only ended up making libs more bloodthirsty, many using the same rhetoric as rape defenders and apologists
This is why you can't trust them; they're perfectly willing to turn on their beliefs because they don't actually have them
Jesus christ. Forced in to exile because you were attacked by Genocide Joe. That's just awful.

This is something all leftists need to learn at some point: Liberals don't have any real beliefs or principles they live by. They're reactionaries at heart, any "progressivism" is tenuous at best. Being progressive and being a Liberal is a contradiction. Thats why we see breif periods of "progressive" times followed by the worst reactionary periods. Capitalism is only "progressive" in relation to what it was replacing, not actually progressive as we understand the word.
There is something of an art to discerning a liberal at heart to someone who is passively lib just by virtue of existing in this society (which we all are, to some extent)
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now.
To be clear, seeing all the libs turn around and attack Tara Reade using literally the exact same rhetoric Republcians attacked Christine Blasey Ford was the thing that made me go from being annoyed at libs to actively despising them
Yep
My radicalization went from "We can probably convert most of them with a cogent argument" to "Camps, all of you, ten-thousand lessons, no trial"
Same, there were other breaking points for sure but this was a big one
Just assume every President is a rapist pedophile and you probably will be right in most cases
Kind of a find the needle in the haystack situation where the needle is the only non-rapist pedophile

You never got to meet the "It's March 26th and Joe Biden is still a r*pist" bot
Was that a bot or was that wombat just being real dedicated?
wombot
Oh, thank god for technology keeping us honest.
Edit: I stand corrected. Thank god for wombat keeping us honest.
@wombat is not a bot, just very dedicated
He's a chad. Favourite part of this site.
is the "It's March 26th and Stalin saved the world from fascism" person still going?
believe so
The democrats took the whole #metoo movement out back and shot it the instant it stopped being useful to them.
Intersectionality is important but lib idpol or lib essentialism whatever you want to call it is real.
Libs always use identity as a weapon so they don't have to talk about things like class conflict, wealth inequality, or how they're functionally the same as Republicans. They just wave a little pride flag around while they bulldoze low income housing to make way for shopping complexes and "luxury" priced five over ones.
Once they're done using a talking point for their purposes they discard it.
Liberals have a seething hatred for his victim and think she's some Russian psyop.
everybody capable of using the Internet saw that clip of Biden repeatedly and upsettingly touching that poor young woman's face even as she turned away and pulled back, only for him to keep doing it. he is so obviously one of those paycho guys that thinks it's his God given right to touch whatever young woman he wants. before #MeToo it was excused as the behavior of a man from an earlier, more affectionate friendly grandpa time.
while #MeToo was popping off, that shit would have fallen flat. by then, he had repeatedly shown himself as an aggressive asshole when caught out by young progressives during the primary. the whole "why why why why why" and "dog faced pony" shit. the guy is an obvious solid gold prick with a fake smile. 100% chance he's done what he's accused of and probably worse.
then he was accused. the circling of the wagons around him and vicious attacking of the victim by libs obliterated #MeToo
I remember when liberals decided it was "proven" that his accuser, Tara Read (Reade?), was lying because a former landlord and an ex-boyfriend combined forces to call her a b*tch in some op-ed or some shit. Like seriously, I don't think it was actually written by them, but it was an article where an ex-boyfriend and a whiny former landlord were cited as two of the key testimonies about her character.
Someone gave me the reasoning that rapists are usually repeat offenders, and the fact that no one else came forward proves that she lied.
Then I asked him if he believes Brett Kavanaugh assaulted Christine Blasey Ford, and he got really uncomfortable. I could've gone even further and mentioned that there's more evidence Biden assaulted Reade than Kavanaugh assaulted Ford (neither would have enough evidence to get convicted, but it's still evidence.)
And also Tara Reade's mother is recorded on the August 11th, 1993 episode of Larry King live. She called in and asked who she could talk to other than the press, because her daughter is working for a prominent senator but wants to report sexual assault.
And nothing happened then either
Joe Biden is a rapist who owes me money
After Tara Reade made the accusation, someone dug up a video of a Larry King show from that year. A woman, later confirmed to be Reade's mum, called in regarding a senator who SA'd her daughter.
Feck it, I found the link
Callback to that time it was revealed his idiot fail son has him saved as Pedo Pete in his phone. I guess that stutter runs in the family
Wait do you have the link for this?
wow, the Wikipedia article about this must have ben written by a rabid dog at a cia blacksite, disgusting
Yo, mind adding an NSFW tag, OP?
No problem, sorry
Thanks!
Specifically in regards to Chapo dot chat or maybe it was in the early Hexbear dot net days there was a specific request to stop bringing it up every day out of respect for comrades who have had some experiences with SA and didn't need to be constantly reminded of the horrors of the real world in a place they used to blow off steam/escape from reality.
Funny how whenever libs list all of bidens accomplishments "killing the metoo movement overnight" isn't on the list.
It was actually going strong then a powerful Democrat got accused and that shit got shut down hard and fast.
