  • The reality is that their idea of a “democracy” is a fundemental perversion of human nature.

    Our neoliberal “democracy” was founded by and for the interests of property owners. The safeguarded institutions that make libs cream their pants are the same onstitutions designed to protect the government from revolts by poor people.

    We can see by nearly every objective measure that neoliberal capitalism has deteriorated our living conditions year after year. It is a cancer that is all consuming, constant and lacks any empathy whatsoever. It will not and can not be stopped unless it is forcefully destoryed. It cannot be “improved from within” for the same reason that dementia, cancer or any other similarly all-consuming illness cannot just be subsided on a long term basis.

    As such, Donald Trump becomes a viable candidate. He is the mirror image of American values. Maybe we dont like it, but to some degree we need to acknowledge as such. He is the epitome of what our founding fathers cherished and valued. And only such a system of neoliberal capitalism could elevate someone like him to a high status. In many ways, he is the ultimate embodiment of the American President.

    After all, what is the use of such “democracy” when all such a system can produce are two different ways of looking into the void?




  • Its not Rogan alone.

    Its a clear cut general election strategy all around to target a certain type of younger (usually also white) center right independents. The guy who smokes weed, watches MMA, still listens to Eminem, maybe voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 if at all, Says hes socially liberal and fiscally conservative but also hates trans people.

    This is a weird non voter demographic that presidential candidates usually dont touch with a ten foot pole. This definitely favors Trump in an extremely close race where any little bit could make the difference. Especially when Kamala is going after a group of voters that are already safe dems



  • Tbh ive spent a lot of time in more nonpolitical spaces online. The energy to engage in politics in any online place is just more than its worth outside of leftwing spaces.

    Like tbh this is the first time in my life where Id say public discourse in gaming and sports is far more productive, positive and less personal than politics. We know where everyone stands at this point and if you still support genocide then thays a scar on your soul that you’ll have to reckon with.
