I think what’s missing is the anger. Trump can tap into anger. Bernie could also. The independent didn’t have the base of anger that the GOP did

Mark my words, Tucker Carlson will be the next republican candidate and he’ll have major male based support

Allowing jail time for movie piracy but none for institutional bank fraud or corporate tax dodging shows what a societies priorities are

I think it’s great that kids are finding ways to avoid debt traps but I worry when colleges become places only accessible to rich people.

I would agree if mining the rocks on earth didn’t cause ecological collapses and kill off animals and displace indigenous and exploit underprivileged ethnic classes in post colonial hellholes
