People (often bourgeois people in this case) want an escape from the troubles of the real world, so they lose themselves in art. When that art reminds them of the real world, they get pissed off.

It happened to me at the beginning of covid. I got really into Babylon Berlin. Then, spoiler, one of the main characters died. I had developed a parasocial relationship with this character, so I was shocked and devastated. I didn’t realize how attached I was until it happened. Then, one or two episodes later, they managed to bring the character back to life.

This might explain why blatantly communist art isn’t that popular and why g*mers have meltdowns over pronouns, women, and the existence of Black people. Bourgeois people want an escape from the teeming masses who are defeating them everywhere. So they lose themselves in art (and are often the only ones with the time and money to enjoy it). They don’t want a reminder in that art of how their time is running out.

Can’t blame him honestly. Who hasn’t felt so alienated and awkward that they froze up at a party? You tankies will attack Biden for anything.

But what if I unconsciously believe that I have a small penis? How else am I supposed to express this belief except by buying a $100,000 lifted Ford, wearing wraparound sunglasses, shaving my head, growing my beard down to my belly, listening to the same five shitty autotuned songs on the radio continuously, and then tailgating you bumper-to-bumper if you do less than 70 MPH over the speed limit? Checkmate, liberal.

None of what you advocate can happen without revolution, and as a certain philosopher and activist said, “a revolution is not a dinner party.” It will be violent, and many people will die.

You can either have that, or you can have the Democrats/Republicans pretending to be the party of civility while they commit genocide. No ruling class in history has ever given up power peacefully.

And if the US empire were to collapse over night, Putin would step right in to fill the same exact role.

We aren’t dealing with hypotheticals. We’re dealing with material reality as it is right now.

Note if China were to become the world hegemon, that would be an improvement compared to the US because they actually have a political ideology other than hoarding wealth and power.

China is probably Russia’s most important ally.

Feel like her cancer was more indomitable but w/e.

A dude I knew in high school got the cops called on him once because he was waving around a sword in the woods while dressed as a medieval monk. He also came to school dressed that way on the first day of junior year (without the sword). I think he has a farm or something now and sells like hand-crafted knives.

Dictatorships are when almost the entire population supports the government. Democracy is when corporations own all candidates and the electoral college designed by slaveowners almost 300 years ago decides all presidential elections. I am a critical thinker.

I’d like to see how ole donny wriggles out of this one!

I’m on Team Santos.

Show me the pictures dude. The genocide’s been going on for decades and western tourists have been free to visit Xinjiang during that period, so it should be easy to find Gaza-style devastation there, right?

Reliance on ableist insults reveals a casual comfort with eugenics 😉
