Maybe if we bonk him just right he'll turn into a Maoist for a while, and start eating expired MRE's in an overturned T34.

Maybe if he gets bonked just right we won’t need to worry about him ever getting bonked again.

cure-for-fascism many people are saying it

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

So sick of this historical revisionism. In reality the french developed a 100% effective cure for fascism quite some time ago.

The real danger would be John getting a firm bonk on the head, which could transform him back to his King Tutankhamen persona, in which he becomes a highly stylized museum jewel thief

Unfortunately, I don't think brain damage ever makes people more kind or empathetic.

If education makes you liberal, cognitive loss seems to make people more fearful and less able to accomplish complex thought (default to black-and-white thinking). This results in conservatism.

No, he's liberal again, didn't you read the news article?

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yes, the subcategory of liberal that is delineated from mainstream liberalism by being more fearful, aggressive, and impulsive is vaguely correlated with any sort of injury or condition that causes increased fear as well as impulse control and anger issues, and brain damage often has these effects.

The only reason that this seems profound is because you are drowning in a system that indoctrinates everyone into liberalism and which seeks to paint political thought as a spectrum ranging from the sub category of liberal that's down with the horrors of capitalism and American hegemony but wants the horrors that are turned inwards on the imperial core to be blunted somewhat, to the mainstream hegemonic bloc of liberals that love the horrors of capitalism and would end the world to preserve American hegemony but are prudent enough to try to put a human mask with a rictus grin on the machinery of imperial hegemony and extraction, to the extremist bloc of hyper-aggressive and extraordinarily chauvinist liberals ("conservatives") who just bay for blood and graft and want more human misery and graft and who hate the shitty rubber mask on the machinery of imperial hegemony because they think "it's gay to smile like that" and are terrified that the world thinks they're gay because of it. And even within that framework the establishment liberals will always ally with the farthest-right extremists before they give an inch to the "maybe things could be less horrible somewhat, as a treat this one time?" bloc.

The notion that capitalism should be unmade and American hegemony ended is entirely outside the realm of comprehensible thought to an American. The idea that a system could be oriented around serving human need instead of the opulence of idle owners is treated as an impossible fantasy despite real world examples demonstrating over and over that it just plain works better at improving material conditions even in the most underdeveloped and historically brutalized periphery states than being little imperial toadies helping American businessmen loot their country and enslave their people does.

Even in that universe, he doesn't turn pro-Filastini. sadness

Huge oversight on their part to not discuss the roots of his suspectability to impact-induced behavioral changes, such as the genetic factors he inherited from his mom (a 1996 compaq pc) and his dad (a lada 2105)

Don't we have a fake news community for these posts?

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, but this is a news story about real things that really happened. John Fetterman is actually wearing a dirty ushanka and sleeping on a bed of failed revolutionary flags as we speak. Everything must serious at all times.
