a lot of catholics have issues with the church. in fact most catholics ive known, including very devout ones, daily communicants and the like, have issues with the church. when i was a kid my dad, who attended seminary for a time, told me that the pope (JP II) and Mother Teresa were fascists.

I think currents of belief like catholicism are easier to attack because they have an actual figurehead and structure that ppl can point to. That being said, with the amount of US catholics who go "well who cares what HE thinks" every time the current pope says something slightly progressive I think ppl shouldn't be surprised at people having catholicism as their value system while rejecting the church.

They finally announced that Virgil is officially departing the show.

tbf "Justin Cass" sounds faker than "Virgil Texas"

the main topic/article this week is pretty staggering

The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "signature reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.

The unprecedented shift has placed an ever greater number of soldiers, civilians, and contractors working under false identities, partly as a natural result in the growth of secret special forces but also as an intentional response to the challenges of traveling and operating in an increasingly transparent world. The explosion of Pentagon cyber warfare, moreover, has led to thousands of spies who carry out their day-to-day work in various made-up personas, the very type of nefarious operations the United States decries when Russian and Chinese spies do the same.

i'll be honest - i'm not into that!

nice try, signature reducer

Is Newsweek back to being a trustworthy source? Not trolling: I was under the impression they'd become a garbage click farm

this appears to be one of their rare attempts at actual journalism

aren't they owned by a cult or something?

I really really really wish some Anonymous dorks (lol remember them) or just literally anyone would start doxxing/ counter-catfishing the FBI agents et al who run these ridiculous ops.

The FBI honeypotting the awkward teenager was enraging.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Friday, 21 May 2021 17:38 (two years ago) link

absolutely. magnified for me by the fact that whoever’s big brain birthed that debacle will only fail up, and retire comfortably as a real American hero

here's my ranking of dirtbag left accounts on letterboxd

will menaker: very good at it. he'd make a good film critic

matt christman: surprisingly bad. his reviews sound like high school essays or something, doesn't read as in his "voice" probably bc he doesn't care enough about movies to rant at them

stav from cum town: really funny, a natural

flopson, Sunday, 30 May 2021 22:07 (two years ago) link

stav never having seen any movies and also getting movies mixed up is a good recurring bit

and the virgil metoo is in

When I was a teenager, I thought Virgil Texas was very funny. I asked him to proofread an essay I submitted to a website, and emailed it to him. The essay was about turning 16. We talked a little bit, and I thought he was very cool because he was funny and he lived in NY.

the verdict is in!

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 19:36 (two years ago) link

i now remember reading people calling him a paedo on the red scare reddit a year or two ago so this probably wasn't news to the other members

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 19:42 (two years ago) link

Oh cool

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 19:42 (two years ago) link

at the time i thought it was edgelording because he is a nerdy bespectacled guy who "looks like a paedo"

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 19:44 (two years ago) link

I mean

intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 19:46 (two years ago) link

anyway, interesting timing on that sacking

intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 19:46 (two years ago) link

is it true he dated a 16 year old

― fuck it (Left), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 21:49 (one year ago)

dated is probably the wrong word here. fuck this guy and fuck this culture

accuser says she was contacted by the Daily Caller

i already knew virgil was a scumbag but not to this extent

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 21:24 (two years ago) link

like I hate to say I told you so but of any group of four random dudes who want attention one of them is probably doing some heinous shit

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:03 (two years ago) link

ok I don't actually hate to say I told you so, it rules

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:08 (two years ago) link

xp Two, if they're getting attention.

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:08 (two years ago) link

yes afaict "this culture" is just straight men

intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:11 (two years ago) link

Honestly thought Virgil was gay. or bi.

Washington Generals D-League affiliate (will), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:23 (two years ago) link

sexual abuse and exploitation of teenagers by adults is basically mainstream

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:24 (two years ago) link

hot ready and legal et cetera

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:24 (two years ago) link

Or I should say: I guess he’s bi?

Washington Generals D-League affiliate (will), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:24 (two years ago) link

I don't think sexuality as such necessarily has much to do with whether you are a person who will be abusive to a teenage fan who sends you an email

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:33 (two years ago) link

true enough

Washington Generals D-League affiliate (will), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:39 (two years ago) link

"this culture" i meant the whole edgy dirtbag vice adjacent thing in this instance but yes it's just patriarchy

Left, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:46 (two years ago) link

Fuck him and also never trust a man who has done or even tried to do standup.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 22:46 (two years ago) link

massive fuck you to everyone who so confidently asserted that the “allegations against” taibbi had been “debunked”. this is how you reproduce rape culture

Bringing on Matt Taibbi for an episode of your show with Virgil Texas is maybe not the best timing right now. https://t.co/JSSQxLZLPu
