We have a case of schrodinger's aid trucks too: Gaza has enough aid, according to israel: https://aijac.org.au/fact-sheets/fact-sheet-aid-into-gaza/ "fact sheet"

But also there's not enough aid because Israel put a ban on it for 12 weeks to stop hamas getting it, but there would be aid if only the aid workers agreed to only distribute in the south of Gaza at four set sites protected by Israeli military. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/11/nx-s1-5395011/israel-new-gaza-aid-plan-us

If you're a trans American upset that you can't be part of the US military in 2025, what the fuck are you even doing?

I just commented to get rid of the 88 count. Smash the fash.

Schrodinger's racism: All non-whites must be deported, but South-African white people must be brought over, granted asylum and protection from "genocide".

I am white, so there's no confusion. And no, I'm not saying they don't deserve help, as the situation in South Africa is pretty bad for them - it's really just the double standard.

Umberto Eco (a survivor of Mussolini’s actual regime) identified this as one of the core traits of Ur-Fascism. Specifically, #8…

The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies.… However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

You will note that Republicans check literally every single box of Umberto Eco’s list.

This is actually how Russians do their propaganda. NATO is weak but also the greatest threat to our nation. Sending Abrams to Ukraine is pointless as they are useless tanks and Ukraine has already lost, but also sending Abrams is crossing a line and a declaration of war.

Gee, wonder where Trump learned it from?

Schrödinger’s Election: it’s rigged unless we win.

Schrodinger's energy crisis:

We need to sell public lands for oil extraction since we have an energy crisis!

We need to cancel wind energy and solar facility construction!

Schrodinger's immigrant: they're both lazy moochers and taking all our jobs.

Classic fascist doublethink. Straight out of the book. The enemy is both strong/dangerous enough to be a serious threat, but the fascist is still somehow very superior to them. 🤷

Is Doublethink a more adequate term?

Schrodinger's tariffs: they're great, except when they hurt my small business.

Schrödingers free speech: You can tweet everything unless it's against Muskrats opinion.

To be fair, they have a problem with trans women in women's sports. They don't have a problem with trans men in men's sports because they can't imagine a situation where a trans man could possibly compete with "real" men.

It goes along with their idea that women are weak, so women are weak athletes and women's sports teams are weak. If you accept that, it's not a big stretch to think that someone who has gone through puberty as a male will have an automatic huge advantage in every women's sport because their body has male characteristics.

On the other hand to them, the military is the ultimate in manly activities. Anybody other than a pure, manly man will be at a disadvantage in anything military. That includes trans men, trans women and regular women. Right now the focus is on trans people, but I'm sure they'll want to kick women out of the military too eventually.

So, if you accept that logic, it makes sense that trans women are too weak for the military, but too strong for women's sports. There's no contradiction there.

Schrodinger's Canada: we don't need anything from them, but we'd love to own them anyway.
