…and until it’s bad enough for massive strikes, it will continue.
The left’s job is to make this feeling into “working class men are not okay but now have a functional protest movement seeking to end the wealth gap permanently”.
The problem is Trump is funneling this issue/disenfranchisement towards the aims of the wealthy and those who want to increase the wealth gap permanently.
Cue video of Guiliani in drag with Trump motorboating him:
People feel wronged and betrayed by the system, and like they need that reflected in who they vote for as their representative.
He is that person for those people (hence why they love the mugshot).
The Republican side of politics knows this is the emotional driver, so they direct most of their media to that kind of grievance politics, and claiming they’ll “fix” these persecution issues in extraordinary ways.
People like Musk and Thiel fund these campaigns.
Trump thinks he can fix it all by breaking the system that he sees as persecuting him; the system of democracy and the rule of law.
So he wants all its powers. He wants to be a dictator. Then you’ll see his politics and only his, and there’ll be no more persecution, no more broken system. Just him.
That’s how the right wingers feel. They’re emotionally locked into this.
That’s why they’re still on board, for the political solution to their emotional disenfranchisement, for their own sense something’s wrong with everyone but them to he proven out with power. Being onboard with Trump proves there’s a broken system they’ve been wronged by, and someone powerful is in that boat with them.
It’s a cult, just as much as neoliberal compromise with the Capitalist forces of self-sacrifice is a cult.
It’s time to take CEO’s money away!
Gonna need another two decades for a show set in the 90s to be novel, it can only be novel once today’s clothing wouldn’t fit in there.
The pitch of “it’s like today, only the phones and computers are larger, and the Internet is smaller” just isn’t meaningful enough of a difference.
I downloaded Librewolf today - the privacy oriented fork of Firefox!
Good to see there are browser variants that aren’t just Chrome.
We all started with scribbles, some people proceeded to stick figures. Some kept going further than that, the mad bastards.
Worms. That’s why dogs do this, they’re being bit in the asshole and can’t do much other than this.

If TNGs computer were as dumb as ChatGPT.
Thankfully they only let ChatGPT run the hollodecks… Which explains why they’re always glitching out!
A guide to learning a programming language and a compiler for said programming language. Maybe Godot.
We should heat wrap more of our foods in plastics which contain synthetic hormones that act as endocrine disruptors…
…you know what would be funny, if the food and packaging companies were already aware this was a risky thing to do, and kept doing it any because it was cheap!!!
… it’s not like that sort of thing has happened in other industries before, like with leaded petrol, or cigarettes.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Western Governments took care of this stuff, watched out for it.
Where’s Peter Thiel and Marc Andreseen, they’re the ones he serves aren’t they?

nah, they just told him who had hits out on him, and that he’d be fed to the wolves if he didn’t help.
The protective punishment of the state is probably a lot lighter than the street justice of global networks of criminal gangs.

Her father’s funeral was attended by something like six headsbof Mossad past and present, and I think an ex-prime minister of Israel gave the eulogy. Wikipedia lists the details.

I heard it has a copy of the constitution/bill of rights in it, missing amendments 11 - 17, because a lot of those prevent his coup, and allow for his prosecution.
