2·3 days agothey tend not to change their minds based on facts or objective reality.
It’s weird how much people expect the irrational to behave rationally. The state is literally committing genocide and waging war under the pretense of the old testament. I don’t think it’s even possible to act rationally under this death cult. Who can even take this shit seriously?
They’ll vote again for him and his ilk.
Ofc there’s no other option. They’re all of his ilk.
They really thought Iran was going to attack the US, possibly with nukes.
Ofc this disinformation is central to the hegemonic narrative and widely disseminated by NPR, NYTimes, etc. Not to mention the overtly fascist media.
Imperial media obscures the connection. I heard NPR talking about higher gas prices with ZERO mention of trump/iran. And, if they do mention it, they usually blame Iran at least implicitly but often explicitly.
YTs in the imperial core are not even close to being rational actors. They’ve lived their whole lives inside the bubble.
These are articles are for leopardsatemyface crowd. It’s simply about smug hur during. Nothing of value will be accomplished. Probably gonna get worse.
That’s a pretty weak headline tho. \s
The non-voters already knew that their votes were worthless and the system is rigged.
How else is data pressure supposed to flow?
More reps, shorter terms, recallable, chosen by sortition, etc, etc, etc. Or whatever we can all agree on.
Wait until you find out about the literal enslavers who started it all.
Pretty wild how people’s lives are still controlled by food chips in 2026.
Capitalism is hell.
Mask off imperialism.
At least it’s honest.

Because USA is a shithole.
3·28 days agoIt’s not really “debt” when the “debtor” prints the money.
Imagine if you could print money though.
Uggg this old trope.
It’s not really “borrowing” when they print the money.
It’s just another wealth transfer from the poor to the extremely privileged.

I think you should recalibrate your definition of “normal”. It’s the banality of evil. Only the mad are sane in a mad society. Etc.
Imperial culture is deeply sick. The regime of USA was concocted by literal enslavers. The extreme privilege of the most mediocre people is fundamentally dependent on the exploitation of others and it always has been. Etc.
If this seems “normal”, it’s probably because you came up in a similar situation. I can relate to that. But it’s not normal. It’s extremely privileged and it’s literally destroying the planet.
