Crazy! Almost like a concerted effort to tell people to not believe their own experiences for financial and political gain not only doesn't work but actively backfires!

Oh yes, I remember that. It inspired me to re-read The Masque of the Red Death.

At first I was like: How can capitalism allow this to happen without Bo being disappeared? But then I realized that not enough people will even hear about it for it to make a difference, and even fewer will believe it or listen seriously to its message, and in the meantime capital will just profit off of it. Also they let George Carlin live for quite a while and he said essentially the same thing.

It was kinda fun to watch corpos shit themselves, even briefly. Unfortunately this triggered their narcissistic rage which has been on an endless tear since, but for a brief moment in time the thing they cared about was hurt: their money.

Unfortunately due to the desperation the people of Gaza are feeling I think we can expect more stories like this in the future, should they find a way to broadcast out from Gaza. At this point I'd be amazed if the healthcare workers aren't killed by Israel considering their history and lack of concern for even the citizens of the nation funding this genocide.

To be fair, not enough people push back against Bill Maher or call him out even that much. I suspect that's because he postures as some debate bro who's all into free speech until he encounters someone who mildly disagrees with him, at which point he unleashes the impotent rage of his tightly-controlled prestige television platform, proving that his supposed stance on free speech was a hypocritical facade all along.

It is nice to see though, even a little.

You mean they didn't double-tap themselves in the back of the head and throw themselves in the river?

I mean, we had the Black Panthers, but they didn't check in with the FBI to see if that was allowed first soooo...

I think he used to be but then went Independent but still leans conservative or something and the blonde woman who cohosts with Ryan Grim on Wednesdays and Fridays is also a conservative, idk there's a whole history/lore to that show but leftist journalists in the anglosphere are a bit scarce and Krystal Ball and Ryan Grim are some of the few. It's actually been really interesting to watch how some of his old worldviews unraveled in the course of their journalism over time. I'm half-expecting him to become a leftist in a few years if the trend continues.

Just vote for the dem, one more time. Come on, this'll be the last time, then Trump will be gone and we'll all dance under a rainbow. 15k dead kids? Small price to pay for world peace. C'mon, for the kids. Vote Blue.

Oh shit, you said the secret word!

The neolib is eternal. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

TIL disliking the DNC is authoritarian. Smells like freedom.

But every time she talks dems lose supporters and that's really really funny

Job positions for people from Vatican City rarely pay the full amount in standard currencies.

We all really wish she would shut up, but she's also the avatar of neoliberalism so in a way we need her around to remind us specifically of what we want to avoid. She's the England of humans.
