If this were a shitpost, I would unironically love this.
Unfortunately, I think it isn't intended that way, so thumbs down from me

I swear, every James Woods post I’ve ever read is the text equivalent of watching a seasoned philosopher very carefully, and methodically shit their pants.
So.. Diogenes?
I mean... That is not really what was puzzling about mercury. Its elliptical orbit, as predicted by Newtonian physics, was shifting a little each orbit. It was not a trick of the light bending, it actually moves "wrong" according to newtonian physics. He could have just read wikipedia instead of making stuff up to try and sound smart. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity
And as I understand it, the existence of an inner planet (Vulcan) was a reasonable explanation consistent with Newtonian gravity. (The only problem was that the planet wasn't there.)
This guy is the definition of "if your only tool is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail".
"Leftist Tyranny".
The famously leftist NYPD.
If it was leftist tyranny, we would all get equal access to pet squirrels if we want them or not.
Fascism is denying squirrels to those who want them because the state has decided you can not have a squirrel.
The thing is that this looks like fascism, but for a different reason. The place that got their animals taken away was a legally licensed, insured, and recognized wildlife sanctuary, and the reason given was "we need to test them for rabies" despite the animals showing no signs of rabies infection, nor any incident occurring which would require those tests.
The whole thing reeks of some sort of petty local dispute with the PD.
Was licensed as a domestic shelter, wildlife is a separate license. He never registered the squirrel. He released it once and it came back with a broken tail and he didn't take it to a vet and then he kept it for 7y and used it for online performances to get money.
Just like always headlines twist the narrative and no one looks at facts.
Yeah I hate it when New York cops keep blabbing on and on about seizing the means of production, and how they’re going to take down the bourgeoisie.
This news breaks, both leftist places and far right places get pissed off, but for some reason far right places think leftist want this….
This is actually a big problem when it comes to polarization. Right wing idiots think anything unpopular that they clearly don’t stand for HAS to be supported by “the radical left”.
It’s right out of the fascist playbook, blame all wrongdoings on your current scapegoat group.
James you're such a great actor it's sad you're such a fucking loser.
Holy fucking shit we need a warning for this amount of whiplash.
His pattern recognition is through the roof !
Awww man, is James Woods a brain-dead MAGA cultist now?
🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀
Ah, the good old fallacy of justifying one thing with something completely unrelated.
One can just as easily use the same argumentative structure to claim that a delayed train on the subway is the tip of the iceberg which is the Worldwide Illuminati Conspiracy or that the wood in one's wardrobe having a darker spot indicates it used to be a gateway to Narnia.
I got fucking whiplash from this lmao
Stupid people don't know how stupid they are. They reject the very notion. It's how one stays stupid in a world with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips.
Turns out access to knowledge was not a threat to the leaders in history. The very idea they were concerns may be oversold.
It's easy to assume that everyone that disagrees with us is stupid, but I can assure you that's very much not true.
I've seen otherwise very intelligent people lost down the rabbit hole of right-wing fuckbaggery. I think it's often just a slow burn from social media. I saw a video earlier today about an ancient tool for spear throwing, and was immediately afterwards presented with a video about how the new Dragon Age game is ruined by DEI...
And the saddest thing is, most people on the extremes have started at the same place: An unhappiness with their own life and a search for a solution. They've just ended up at vastly different positions, in that the right has chosen to blame the nebulous "others" below them, while the left has chosen to blame the "others" above them. And punching down is always an ugly look.
Ah yes, those leftist police I’m always hearing about…
Minus the "leftist" part of his argument, his assumption is correct. Reasonable laws and measures can be abused by power to oppress the people. Give the government an inch of power and they will take it a mile.
Using grounds of "preventing the spread of rabies" authorities invaded this man's home and killed his pets. Keep this in mind whenever giving the government any power. It is clear trump wants as much power as possible, even complimenting Hitler's generals for their loyalty and obedience.
Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He claimed he was getting it repeatedly and there's evidence he did fuck all.
He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn't a surprise.
Isn't that kinda satire?
It's James woods, he's 100% brainworms serious.
That is actually impressively dumb
Like seriously, I think he really really put effort into being dumb here. You can't be just randomly that ignorant here, I think
You can't be just randomly that ignorant here, I think
Woods didn't just randomly become that ignorant, he's been practicing for well over a decade. He's professionally ignorant.
He's not wrong about the squirrel...
He is completely wrong. Couldn't be more wrong. But preventing a rabies outbreak?! Tyranny!!! Oppression!!! Fascism!!!!
What the hell, man...
Communists took it?
He’s not wrong that it is a fucked up thing that happened that genuinely is the result of shitty people being shitty.

He is wrong that it is a Pandora’s box moment as the result of leftist extremist policies.
That dude was an asshat who had seven years to sort out the training and licensing he needed to avoid all this. It sucks the squirrel and the raccoon died like this, but that dude was making money of them as performers without any of the paperwork that would allow them to get vaccinated or any kind of medical treatment at all.
I do not understand why everyone thinks this guy is some wounded hero.
yall are fuckin heartless idiots
A delicate point, thoughtfully made. You’ve convinced me.
