Bernie 2.0 incoming, who’s ready for Gavin Newsom to be president?

Repainting, not repairing any of the leakage issues causing the algae in the first place.

It’s going to be so much uglier when the algae returns and you have a bright fucking blue backing to it.

Yeah I’m not gonna use ChatGPT to summarize essays to prove my point like your .ml heroes. You can look up what happened in Detroit in the 50’s and 60’s, actually most manufacturing areas have followed the same trajectory. Something like two-thirds of our manufacturing potential has been lost since ww2 — the reason is consistent for every sector. Globalization allowed for cheap labor overseas to arrest manufacturing from capitalist countries. China as it is never could have existed without capitalism.

Meanwhile V China was able to go from an agricultural society to an industrial powerhouse.

Because of the rich men from the U.S. essentially stealing our jobs and giving them to cheap laborers overseas.

Seems like China’s version of socialism won’t work without the capitialist hegemony in place. Which makes me wonder ‘Is that really socialism?’

That I feel, deep in my bones.

To put it simply, I don’t have exact numbers on who is willing to let perfect be the enemy of good on the left. I just know enough of them exist to render the rest’s votes ineffective — we know this because plenty of poll information has been collected that points to ‘Kamala lost because of her stance on Israel’. As if the alternative has been better.

The left in the U.S. seems to be filled with people who know what the right thing to do is, but can’t separate that from what needs to be done right now. While I recognize that the heart bleeds for people in Palestine, or Gaza, or any victim of Israel’s (really any genocide) — not voting for Kamala might as well be considered a vote for what’s happening in Iran right now. I understand being caught in a two party system isn’t ideal either, but pumping the breaks on fascism would have been a much more effective barrier against Israel than what’s happening today. I’m inclined to believe anything under Kamala would be better than Trump, even if it wasn’t necessarily ‘getting better’.

For context, I worked under Kamala when she was the AG for California’s DoJ. The blatant corruption happening under her nose was eye opening, it really turned me against her as a result. I still fucking voted for her.

Did you vote for Kamala?

To put things in perspective.

About 40% of the then population of the American colonies were Patriots and fought against the British in the revolutionary war. The war itself functioned like a civil war.

Roughly 40% of the population of the current United States supports Trump, not perfectly unwavering support but pretty staunch nonetheless. The remaining 60% are too busy thinking that their problems are the ones that need to be addressed first and a staggering number of those people are perfectly willing to throw away decent compromise simply because they weren’t perfectly satiated.

All of this to say: Trump is the tip of the iceberg.

Those goalposts are on rails my man, you’re better off tagging them and moving on.

I don’t know if this is accurate — striving to reach financial freedom in the form of near infinite levels of wealth is not a sign of mental disease. That’s what I’d call a dream, and it could be purely motivated.

Now, having that dream and being willing to do anything to obtain it — that’s a different story. That’s what it takes to be a billionaire, you have to be completely willing to crush people beneath you for the simple fact that it makes you more money. Many people, myself included, are simply incapable of deciding to harm someone else for simple profit.

Like, I’m not a hyper space nazi because I’d like to be a Viltrumite. I just want to live 1000 years and be super strong and fly and stuff.

No, I don’t want to be any more depressed.
