  • Look at the demographic of any “left” and you generally find kids that don’t understand how societal power works.

    Taking a few classes on sociology and reading Marx is fine and all that, but they need to understand the framework of conformist, consumerist America and leverage that… and as it’s anathema to what Marx says… they’ll forever be smacking their heads against the walls.

    Then they grow up and become Wall Street brokers.

    Sause: Am 60, and have seen this same shit happening over and over - for decades.



  • Unfortunately, the violence directed at them is what many on the right and even Trump himself want, because it will be used as a pretext to interfere in the mid-term elections coming in 2026.

    I mean, they’re going to try anyhow, and stirring up shit will just give them that much more leverage to do so.

    As rage-inducing as Trump is, just biding ones time and voting and getting everyone you know to vote in the mid-terms for the Democrats - even if the candidate is an absolute stinker - is what is needed to put the brakes onto this administration.


  • As horrifying as it will be… it’s going to take some godawful disease like polio to rear it’s ugly head again for the vast muddling middle to wake the hell up.

    I remember a friend of my aunt who was in a wheelchair - she was in her 70’s when I was a teenager and she had gotten polio as a little girl. Lovely woman, and a real example of what can happen without vaccines.

    God save us, generational amnesia is a thing, and we’ve gotten complacent because vaccines haved worked so well for the last 75 years.
