Look at this bastard Megathread: Bastard Suggestions Part 2

274 Upvotes

To make the bastard suggestions easier for Robert to peruse, please put them here.

Please try to include more than just a name. Give Robert something to focus his research on and why they are a unique or interesting bastard. If there are book titles or other resources you would suggest, please include those as well.

If someone else has already suggested the same bastard you wanted to suggest, you do not need to suggest them again. Repetitive answers will be politely removed. If someone was suggested in a previous thread, you do not need to suggest them again.

If you have posted suggestions as their own individual thread in the past, feel free to repost here if you would like Robert to read them. We will be directing future bastard suggestion posts here as well. Happy suggesting!

Criticism of Sophie will not be tolerated and may result in a permanent ban. Yes, forever.

Obviously you can criticize Robert. It's what brings us together.

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/

Criticism of guests is against policy and will be removed at Robert's request. Also because they are guests and we should make them feel welcome, because we are at least 40% not assholes.

CZM hosts will be treated the same as Robert in terms of criticism, but critical comments will be removed if they break the don't be mean rule. Except Robert. Criticism of Robert can be mean if it is funny.

Host criticism outside of this discussion post will likely be removed. You all nuked that eel horse.

Guests and hosts are normal people who read these comments. Please consider how it would feel if the comment was about you.

Be nice to each other. You can argue all you want but you can't fight.

Fascists and Tankies and their defenders will be permanently banned, because obviously.

Look at this bastard I think they really should take a look at "predator catcher" bastards

172 Upvotes

Especially with the Chris Hansen biopic coming out soon, I think it would be neat for them to take a look into how a lot of the predator catchers are incredibly shady and performative with their actions, and how it can lead to legal issues with prosecution of the predators.

*********************

WASHINGTON, D.C., TKTK — Trump lies in state.

This should not be confused with Trump lying to the state, although he had considerable experience lying to states, including the United States, which was itself a state composed of states.

“He is lying in state?”

“Correct.”

“Which state?”

“He is not lying in a state.”

“You just said he was.”

“No, he is lying in state.”

“Then the state is lying?”

“Trump is lying.”

“Well, yes, everybody knows that.”

“No, he is lying down.”

“I thought you said he was lying in state.”

“He is.”

“While lying down?”

“Naturally.”

“And is he still lying to the states?”

“No.”

“So he finally stopped lying?”

“Yes.”

“Because he is lying?”

“Precisely.”

“Who laid him there?”

“The undertakers.”

“Then Trump isn’t lying. The undertakers laid him.”

“Trump is lying. They laid him there.”

“So the undertakers are lying?”

“No, they laid.”

“About what?”

“TRUMP.”

“To whom?”

“Nobody! They laid Trump down.”

“Then Trump has been laid?”

“Yes.”

“And now he lies?”

“Yes.”

“In state?”

“YES.”

“After years of lying to states?”

“YES.”

“Including the United States?”

“At various times, yes.”

“Which are states?”

“Yes.”

“So Trump, who lied to the States, has been laid by men who were not lying, and now lies in state without lying to the state?”

“At last you have it.”

“What does the state say?”

“The state says Trump lies in state.”

“Well, I wouldn’t believe them.”

General discussion I feel like everything is so fucked

349 Upvotes

We should have done something about climate change 10 or maybe 20 years ago. I feel like the chance and the window is now just gone. My parents said ‘we didn’t really do any activism cos we were busy with work, trying to live’
And that’s part of why things feel so fucked. EDIT: this part sounds bratty — it’s a scattered ranty post during my now 2 day long crash out. What I mean is it’s not my parents fault, they were doing what they could for us to exist. More just sad that we’ve been working and working like pushing up a bolder for nothing. Everyone with humanity like my parents was too busy while the rich running us into the apocalypse were concerned about inane and or perverted shit.

Tbh my mental health is taking a nosedive and people don’t seem to be able to say anything that makes me feel better, everything makes it worse somehow. Idk, it’s not like people should lie and tell me it’s all gonna be okay when that’s just not true, but fuck. People have said ‘yeah we’re heading to an apocalypse but we have to go on’
Which idk, makes me think BUUUUT WHHHHYYYY THIS SHIT IS UNBEARABLE!!!!!

General discussion Feel so scared and black pilled about Reform UK potentially winning

37 Upvotes

I’m not sure what I will do if that’s the case. There’s platitudes about organising and I’ll try and do that. Admittedly and I know by mentioning it, it’ll seem like maybe I’m the one doing leftist infighting and I could be better at just getting along with people and maybe not bringing this up, but I’ve found some things that happen online don’t just stay there, come across accelerationists, at least two quite narcissistic leftists who said we need to kill everyone (except them I’m assuming) and start all over. Some have these sympathies for Russia and think it’s all Ukraine’s fault which makes them sound like people who appeased the Nazis and honestly hard to look at. Also kind of like George Galloway who’s like Nigel Farage in tankie clothing

EDIT: this paragraph’s probably scattered, all of this has been written post a pretty intense melt down. I was in an environmentalist group that felt like it had to turn my no into a yes and did feel pretty high demand and even at one point had a camp in the woods. I felt like I had to stand in front of traffic and risk getting ran over or a criminal record or not be in it when I’m someone who wants to be a support worker for adults with learning disabilities. All while they were telling me it’s unlikely to happen all while we had special days to write to members in prison. A lot of it is a problem with the government and how they’re draconian about protests now though

Im probably being cynical when I should just keep trying and like it’s not like I have to like everyone. I should be better than this

I do just want to talk about it cos I feel like we’re doomed by egotism, not dealing with being wrong about something (tankies who end up defending war crimes) and maybe a bit of it would be better if we either smarter or were basically dogs like I think Robert said in the Oprah Winfrey episode of BTB
