I wonder what's the remedy, and I can move on with my lifeBefore you people are through with the extinction of the universe

  • Michelle Obama says US ‘not ready for a woman’ to be president: ‘Don’t even look at me about running’

  • I agree with most of what you say but I think it's both. People are tired of voting and paying taxes when it all seems to just go towards paying rich and connected people bloated salaries to blatantly sleep in parliament in front of cameras. But the wealthy elites harnessed that and took advantage. And infected conspiracy theory circles and started putting so much bullshit out there that 'truth' seems to be optional these days.

    I'm showing my tinfoil hat here but in my view this started happening some time after the Arab spring when powerful people shat themselves and realised how powerful social media could actually be.

    Trump was totally packaged as a rebel and a renegade coming to change the system. Around 2015 I remember even 'progressive' minded people saying things like "he's a businessman, not one of these useless assholes, he'll get things done!" In South Africa, there was the same rhetoric surrounding Cyril Ramaphosa in the beginning.

    I don't want to sound like self aggrandizing asshole here but I think that maybe people in general are even less smart than I thought. Because just before everyone started thinking that capitalist businessmen were going to save them, social media was all about Anonymous and Zeitgeist and how awesome socialism is and how much capitalism sucks. And seemingly overnight, while still looking for the same kind of change, they fell for a slimy capitalist swindler selling that change.

    Honestly my sincere hope and probably the main thing keeping me going is that this all collapses under the weight of pedophiles and incompetent podcasters and news readers put into positions of power, and then the pendulum swings back and we get the change that we actually need.

  • As a non-American looking in from the outside, from what I can gather in progressive online spaces, people are sick of career politicians in general that don't have any actual morals but are instead driven by marketing and advertising. This is a problem not just with the US Democrats but with the old guard in general worldwide.

    That's part of why the door has been opened to right wing lunatics in the first place. Around 10 years ago, a lot of people thought Donald Trump was the "anti establishment" pick. As insane as that is to reasonably well educated people, simple people with shitty lives believed that this upstart really would "drain the swamp".

    It's also part of why the career politicians aren't doing much to stop it either. They see the numbers on their marketing graphs, so they're evolving into another stage of parasite that can feed on the new generation.

    There's no doubt in my mind that it would be a tougher battle for a woman than for a man in the USA. But also, they would stand a much better chance with someone like AOC than someone like Clinton or Obama or Harris. Because people are fucking sick of corporate undead ghouls whose sole purpose is to keep the Overton window in place.

    I know that someone here is going to call AOC a sellout or something but come on, your anarchist socialist utopia is even further away now that the christo-fascists have undone so much progress. AOC is a thousand times better than almost anything else you've got right now.

    You need more women with AOC and Jasmine Crockett energy, and less with Joe Biden energy. Someone to knock these christo-fascist clowns the fuck out on the mic and on social media, and to inspire people. Not someone that's going to go "oh well I tried nothing and now I give up" and fucking bore everyone to death.

  • Interesting how even in the right wing world, the first ones to grow a spine and stop licking boots are women. Just an observation.

  • Just so you know, I had to look that up to make sure it wasn't some medical condition or something wrong with it that I was unaware of. But you're correct, it does indeed have a stoma lol.

  • What's your silly little website.

  • How crucial do you think it is to understanding "pop culture" stuff, in terms of forming friendships? (As in: Knowledge in Popular Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Books, Songs, Music, Anime, etc...)

  • I think that it can help you find your people. If it's something really mainstream like Breaking Bad or whatever, you might as say "I like icecream". But when it gets to slightly more niche stuff that isn't hogging 90% of the online conversation or airtime on the radio, I think you're more likely to find people with similar interests or views or personalities to you.

  • This might make me mean but I probably have even less sympathy for non white people, queer people and women that side with the religious right wing, white supremacist, patriarchal bigots and think they're not also on the list. Less sympathy for them than for magas, which is basically none as it is.
