If Trump does what he promised to (which is a toss-up because he's very easily distracted), raising tariffs on imported goods will dry up income for a lot of global South countries, which in the long term has the potential for multipolarity to flourish, but I the short term will cause a ton of human suffering, specially as GS countries run out of USD reserves to pay external debts and are forced to cut public spending as part of IMF-led restructuring plans.

My mom got me barbies when I was growing up and I turned out to be a (mostly) top.

It works, folks.

He's not wrong, but the vibes are fucked, knowing who he is.

That looks pretty nice actually... The buildings aren't too tall, and there's plenty of green areas between them.

At least the DeLorean doesn't look goofy and stupid when looked at within its context.

Another day I'm grateful I don't live in perfidious Albion. I still live in a shitty Global North country, but as shit as it may be here, I know it can't get worse than the ukkk

they’re gonna do it so sloppily it’s like they’re not even trying to hide it.

It being sloppy works as a way to warn other potential whistleblowers, while maintaining plausible deniability

Or "Bane had no real ideology and the whole 'nuke Gotham to fulfill Ra's Al Ghul's stupid-ass plan to bring down a center of supposed decadence' is at best fascist, at worst cruelty for cruelty's sake by killing millions of working class people alongside a few cops and fatcat capitalists"

Pretending the Nolan movies could allow anything but the tersest tints of fash ideology is... idek.

Maybe they think that doing anything but vote is undemocratic/undermines institutions or something.

Or maybe they're an ancap and think that the only way is to shoot a mctactical nuke into the privatized former public service.

hopefully it'll stick and it'll be the last time I have to remember.

Yo, it's cool if we sometimes slip into old habits, or the patterns of thinking that have been reinforced on us by society for years. As long as you stay sincere, curious, and act out of care, that's way more important. We can help you out as many times as you need.

It can be, and it often is, but it's not because it is ontologically bourgeois or reactionary, rather it's because hegemonic ideology will grab onto every institution found in human life and ascribe it's values to it, turning it into a normalizing force that self-enforces itself in order to support the power relations that led to it existing in the first place, as is the case of marriage reinforcing the patriarchy and heteronormativity which led to marriage existing in turn.

Gramsci lays out in a great way how hegemony coopts institutions and human life gramsci-heh
