This was evidenced in the virtual worlds of Twitter and podcasting, so it's probably minimal in the bigger scheme of things, but remember when the 2021 Travis Scott concert exposed a contingent of leftists who believe in pop-music satanic rituals and human sacrifice? It escalated to a point that some of the bigger pods like Chapo and Trillbillies even weighed in to tamp down the paranoia. Strange times. I appreciated the commentary on how it's satanic panic 2.0, and that it's a rehash of what our parents went through in the 80s

    Even scarier are the parallels to the rhetoric in 2003 over going to war with Iraq.

    There are a shitload of people fully on board with a military confrontation between nuclear powers. Even people trying to downplay the implications of nuclear war.

    Fuck comparing shit to hollywood we're living on the worst level of the Dark Tower.
