    The thought that I could one day have a stroke and lose my mental faculties like this is scary ngl. Fetterman still being in a position of power is a failure of the system at this point. I’d feel bad for the guy if he wasn’t a rabid genocide supporter.

      He was racist and aggressive long before this.

      The same man who held a random Black man at gunpoint also being a zionist and having outbursts like this isn’t a huge jump, white people just didn’t care before because uhhh he wears shorts all the time isn’t that funny

      His behavior has gotten worse since his stroke but he’s been like this

      Strokes CAN cause personality changes but they can also just make you lose your filter. It becomes too taxing to keep up the mask.

        I would argue your filter is a huge part of your personality. Many people have harmful impulses, internalized bigotry and think mean thoughts sometimes. Becoming a better person is not about cleansing your thoughts of the impure, it’s much more about keeping your bad impulses in check. Sharing things you would like to keep for yourself, watching a movie with your partner you couldn’t care less about, being kind to someone who makes you feel intense jealousy, these kinds of things. I don’t think it’s fair to say that losing your filter because of a stroke “reveals who you really are”.

        I know Fetterman had terrible views before the stroke already. It’s more so that I think it’s scary how you can have a stroke and suddenly become so much worse to the people around you because you lose control over yourself.

              Could you explain to me how to read this? Is it “contented” as in the adjective meaning satisfied, or is it something else pronounced like “YouTube content” or something?

    Conservatives — who had long made Fetterman a target for his progressive politics — have sprung to Fetterman’s defense.

    This is a good sign.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
