  • No idea how you people continue to have any hope whatsoever. I hate to sound all matrixy, but I’ve been off depression meds for about three months now and what I was told were symptoms of being “extremely depressed” were just very natural reactions to living in a hyper-capitalist country that puts life-altering medication behind an aburd paywall (absurd doesn’t even begin to cut it), despite the fact that it costs exactly the same to manufacture as any other drug that is mass produced. Seriously, does anyone know the meaning of the word “war” because it’s happening.

    To make matters worse, I’ve been in the tech space for 5-6 years now, and it’s just dawning on me how everything is becoming more and more policed and censored. Seems like Edward Snowden had like 5 minutes (and then 5 more minutes on Joe Rogan) and then the NSA and big tech continued making deals under the table. I honestly don’t know how such an overtly communist website is still allowed to exist on the internet.

    I’ve met so many irl leftists who tried for years and years and just eventually gave up. Capital seems to be one step ahead at every turn and I truly don’t believe anything can stop it

    Wish China would just hurry the fuck up because we live in such a fucking surveillance state.




  • Someone please tell me how the fuck people are continuing to pay attention to professional sports while the US continues to degrade at an unfathomable rate

    Maybe I’m just getting old, but I thought watching millionaires paid by billionaires play a game for entertainment would lose value when owning a house is a pipe dream and rent continues to increase (despite the price being completely detached from reality)

    COVID should’ve shown EVERYONE that professional athletes don’t satisfy a societal need whatsoever. Every “need” in this godamned country is a treat















  • Lmaoooo I’m reading some old Norton anthology of American literature and liberals have always been extremely cowardly

    John brown’s raid at Harper’s ferry? Liberals agreed with the idea behind it but the optics were bad

    Ralph Waldo Emerson’s message to Martin Van Buren imploring him to rethink Indian removal? Liberals agreed, but there was nothing that could be done 🥺

    Lincoln voting against abolition in 1846? Uwu it could threaten the Union 🥺

    And on and on and on. It’s always been about a power struggle

    Amazing how nothing has changed in this country that is demonstrably beyond hope



  • Oh no I just looked him up and he’s not great

    I guess what I meant by this comment is that colonialism at western attitudes have advanced at such a quick rate that it’s truly better off to have lived when it was in its infancy (i.e. those colonialist attitudes that increased life expectancy at an alarming rate.

    Like what’s the average life expectancy of chimps?
