you are not incorrect in your assertions, being that in a better world it wouldn't matter. But we live in a stage of history where ignorance and disenfranchisement are tools of manipulation to keep a population docile, its citizens isolated from one another and helpless.
Everyone needs to learn that politics is not actually optional: it will affect your life no matter where you go as long as there are other people - because even if oneself is not political, those other people ARE. Your boss, your landlord, your banker, your pharmacist, your doctor, your neighbors, your friends and family. Politics Knows Where You Live.
People have power, but all too often they have been duped into not realizing it and lulled into an ineffectual stupor. That cannot be permitted to go on. And if a pop starlet can wake people up and make them pay attention to what's being done to them instead of idly wasting their while on passive compliance to systems that are slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) killing them, then, well, fuck it I'll take any advantage I can get.
desperately hoping deep down that she's charging the death star laser and as soon as the tour is over she fucking vaporizes the republican party for their hubris -_-
... she still hasn't disavowed the non-consensual abuse of her likeness in fake trump endorsements, has she? i was actively watching and listening to see a response from her and i haven't heard anything. did i miss it somehow?
i imagine alien hivemind organisms looking at earth and our cities upon it and thinking "what are these growths and why aren't the samples we collect producing them?"
i mean yeah i was making my statement SOMEWHAT bitterly as a jab at billionaire "job creators" but it's absolutely true that what drives an economy is the DEMAND SIDE being able to actually pay for shit X3 which is why i'm a proponent of universal basic income. It sucks wealth out of the places where it's congealed and stagnant (rich people) and circulates it up through the people who actually spend it on their needs
Did I fucking DIE on the morning of July 21st 2024 and ALL of this has been nothing but a manic hallucination as all my neurons fire off for one last time?
what i mean is, i honestly thought the boomers were beyond help???
I could have SWORN they stopped giving a shit about anything but enriching themselves and fucking over their kids and grandkids and great grandkids just for the sake of their own sick amusement an entire decade ago.
I am legitimately astonished that there's a scrap of decency left in them to even COMPREHEND supporting anything but absolutely the worst of all available wrong decisions.
there's actually some part of me that wonders if kamala actually winning the support of THEM could actually be some kind of red flag... O_o; I'm not going to entertain that part or cultivate it, i'm going to starve it into atrophy now that i've expressed and confronted the thought, but still, this is such a shock that it was actually there.
Bullshit. ISO 8601 IS THE SUPERIOR DATE STANDARD
Tomorrow is 2024-08-30. DEAL WITH IT.
