I find far right people including politicians amusing.

You know those tabloids that used to be around in the 90s with wild headlines like "SANTA'S ELVES REALLY SLAVES FROM THE PLANET MARS!" or "UFO ALIEN NO LONGER VISITS BUSH." Their whole anesthetic gives me that vibe, as if a tabloid became a human. They always have made up groups to fit conspiracies like Antifa being a real organization with head quarters or how the moon landing was fake or worse, there's events that really happened but they're overly dramatized or only partly true. That's kind of what I mean, they are literally living tabloids.

The funniest part is that I used to read it like it was real and I was addicted to those stories but that's when I was like 9 years old lol rather than these far righters of 40 to 80 years of age.

Wild.

I loved The World Weekly News growing up! I wanted to be a writer for them but they didn't take independent submissions. Could you imagine the crazy of they had though?!

@LordShadowfire @FoxyGoddess I liked those magazines too just not in politics. I grow tired of the whole Soros anti semetic stuff or how antifa is a literal terrorist organization. Especially when the far right accounts for more terrorism since there's more accelerationist Nazi groups on their side of the aisle.

@SatanBurger There's a documentary about how the National Enquirer got hijacked as a Trump propaganda machine. I can't remember the name, but the short version is he knew the owner of the publication and pressured him to run positive stories about him.

The WWN never sold out, though. Bat boy forever!

@LordShadowfire That's honestly interesting because I feel like when I hear Trump speak it's a lot like the bat boy magazine so it's wild that Trump was a fan.

I'm happy the magazine didn't sell out though, respect

I've been comparing the sensationaled headlines from the right with the national enquirer for years.
Every story peppered with...it has been reported, allegedly, may be, investigation ongoing...

@Carla Pizzagate lol

@SatanBurger weather control...
I mean you are not wrong. Thanks to Trump actual current events and The National Enquirer are basically the same thing.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Seriously never thought I'd see a South Park episode in real life or the onion
Who could forget?


Apparently the documentary “Scandalous: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer” explores the connection you are making.

@ThePatientAnarchist I honestly loved reading those lol and one point when I was a kid I thought they were real so I had a sense of wonder. Then I got more analytical and started checking it out and found out it was just stories. Still fun though 😜

But political wise it's becoming a bit of a nuisance, I'll have to check out the documentary

I made up a conspiracy that t bag is actually a device used by late night show hosts and Saturday night live to ensure they never run out of things to make fun of even as the world burns.
