Me when I talk to libs: "sorry sweaty, you can't believe any of the news that comes out of China, it's all propaganda"

Meanwhile, news in America. Manufacturing consent for genocide and war 24/7.

I got in an argument with my mother a few years ago about support for Palestine / criticism of Israel. Her argument was basically "we just can't tell apart the antisemites from the legitimate support so we just shouldn't have a movement." It makes me think that the Washington Post decides to write about posts like this every once and awhile and actually write things like that. "but sorry the whole movement is antisemitic" and that's where we get that absolutely fucking insane argument from.

Ryan Grim news for the Democrats

Can't wait until Biden loses Michigan to Trump and it costs him the electoral college!

Critical support for comrade coastal erosion

I really wanted to post that emoji, but in all seriousness, this is a really interesting observation. I think in some cases it could be some of them trying to deal with their own fucked up childhoods. And then they impose some other kind of misery on the next generation, while pining for some ideal childhood they never had. Generational abuse / trauma on a minor scale maybe?

A story from just yesterday that made me irrationally angry:

Ultra chud at my workplace, drives a massive $60k+ truck, brings in his Black rifle coffee Co thermos every day. You get the idea... A group of us were talking about shoveling snow and he literally says "I don't ever need to worry about EVER doing that because I have two sons and I make them do it!" and laughs of course. Probably if someone else had said it, it would have been said with more levity and I could have laughed it off. But with this guy, I could just tell, he wanted to make these kids miserable. They need to learn how to become MEN so they don't get to have a snow day, they get to shovel for dad!

Another anecdote: dealing with some family issues in regards to my grandfather being shitty to my mother and her siblings. Mom and aunt upset, but dealing with everything with poise and dignity. Uncle, tantrums, anger, drinking, bringing up 50 year old daddy issues. Surprise, surprise, He's politically the most conservative one in the family...

Feels like mommy and daddy issues all around that get passed on down the line. Gets worse and more twisted and bizarre as material conditions deteriorate and suburban fascism intensifies.

Libs are in copium mode already. The few I talked to about this have come back with several responses:

-"too early, people aren't paying attention and just looking to blame Biden"

-"Democrats are winning elections elsewhere"

-"Trump may be winning in the primaries, but he's not in the spotlight and 15% of Republicans won't vote for him"

-"if Trump gets charged that will spotlight his crimes"

Can't wait until Biden loses Michigan and it costs him the election!

As someone who attends music events in New York frequently, the primary concern the security guards care about is that you're not bringing a gun into the venue. Secondary concern being hard drugs, depending on the venue and act. Msg definitely does not want drugs. Thinking that the underpaid and overworked security staff has a political agenda is absurd when they already have to deal with your bridge and tunnel antics.

Just read through all of that. Exhausting.

What happened?
