If you don’t love me at my nerdiest, you don’t deserve me at my I get off eating my partner out.

As long as both sexes see one another as vectors of acquisition (what do I get?!) and not people to connect with, it’ll keep getting worse.
I’m of the opinion that it, like most core social constructs in modernity, have been poisoned by capitalism and the glorification of avarice that comes with it, when those infected with avarice should have their society pelting rotten produce at them. A romantic partnership is supposed to be a commune of love and cooperation, not a good girl “marrying up,” not a good boy acquiring a “trophy.”
As long as we keep looking at each other through the prism of material gain and ambition and greed instead of love and intimate connection, few will be happy, whether alone or in a business partnership with a spouse that’s abandoned the millisecond “for worse” aka life inevitably arrives.
Only one party is actively funded by our enemies
Incorrect, both parties take money from Wall Street. Only a tiny, tiny minority of the Democrats don’t, and those spoiler Democrats are hated by the DNC far more than the DNC opposes their esteemed Republican opposition.
If you refuse to see the capitalist oligarchs are the enemy that created the conditions for Trump, then nevermind and carry on, as there’s nothing that ever could convince you.
No, sadly. Soulless cash grab.
Especially the type that Trump attracts.
Or any corpo bribe taking politician for that matter, nearly all of them in both parties at the federal level.
In the US, selfishness is a requisite for success. Living an ethical, empathetic life in the United States is a fast track to dying of exposure in a cardboard box under a freeway.
“Hey, I saw someone doing something illegal to a capitalist!”
No you fucking didn’t.
Glad I went Emby.
Maybe Saruman would be a better metaphor for the Neoliberals, but Saruman just seems too… competent.
"I affirm your identity! You’re free to be who you are without shame! As you die in a cardboard box under a freeway of exposure for failing to be exploited well enough, and as an intentional threat to the other poories to keep laboring for their corpo bribers. 🤷
Ooh, but here, have a ribbon! I hear they’re quite tasty when boiled."
They’re not the primary villain, those are the corpo Fascists, but they’re sure as shit the bumbling secondary antagonist. The Denethor to Sauron.
Thank you! I try to, even though at the end of the day the best you can do is the show runner that signed off on it, as you’ll never really know who invented it in the writer’s room.

I have a lot of darkness in my head due to my upbringing. I’ll never get it out. That doesn’t stop me from being a good man, because who you are and what you’ll be remembered as isn’t your internal struggle, its what you chose to stand for in practice.
It is inevitable that capitalists will conquer their state, but with constant vigilance, for a time, capitalism can and is used as an engine to serve society, so long as it is heavily regulated and hobbled. The Nordic nations for example.
It’s when the capitalists begin to be allowed to influence their government, and convince the people THEY can live larger than their neighbors if it weren’t for all the social equity evil government enforces, capitalism’s signature siren call.
The Nordic countries still have free to roam policies. Capitalism here capturing their own regulators and being allowed to warp public opinion with blatant self serving lies through for profit media pulpits make some Americans eager to shoot other Americans.
I’m not for capitalism at all because it eventually leads here, to fascism, and eventually someone in power will be dumb or corrupt enough to let their guard down. But we let our capitalists conquer our government, as have several western nations. And here we are.
Never forget, the fruit of the tree of capitalism is fascism.
Capitalism unrestrained and left to do its thing, as it has, always leads to fascism. Fascism is the takeover of the state by the capitalists.
This is why fascism is blooming all over the western world. The global capitalist economy is simply in full bloom sitting on entirely captured nation states and fruiting.
The fruit being concentration camps, war, poverty, and scapegoating. Anything to blame literally anyone and everything else for all the inhuman malice the capitalists are doing to attempt to satiate their unquenchable greed.
If anyone still cares about maybe not ending the world for humanity, the capital markets must be destroyed, and speculative investment by passive robber barons not actively participating in laboring to produce products and services must be outlawed. But don’t worry, we’ll fade into the oblivion of greed made climate change out of cowardice. We’ll probably be grateful to die to that after the Fascists have had their fun.
I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!
Being allowed to masturbate at work would just ruin the fun of it.
I voted for Harris to try to prevent these horrors out of harm reduction.
But the Neoliberals haven’t given us anything to vote for for half a century.
Good cop neoliberals with affirmation ribbons/bad cop Fascists with scapegoats, both for human beings dying in the streets for the crime of no longer being able capitalist exploitation livestock in droves as a threat to laborers to produce for their shared donors.
A vote for democrats is a vote for quiet slaughter, a vote for Republicans is a vote for loud, braggadocious slaughter. We don’t get a vote for peace. We don’t get a vote on the economy. Only the social wedges that don’t meaningfully effect quarterly earnings expectations.
Luigi tried showing us who our shared enemy is, and it isn’t their revolving door middle managers in DC.
Why? To keep foreign resource markets open to our profiteer’s exploitation.
Social tolerance of Greed\avarice is a blight that is ending the world by several vectors.
Same page club, except the vague hope.
Honestly the vague hope was keeping me at my lowest until I learned to understand and completely accept that our world is ending by our own hands, detach from being on the human team, and just gawk at the freak show of the exploitative macro-cancer monkeys that we are with gallows fascination.
This is the same thing comedian George Carlin bragged about doing to find peace in his later years, BTW.
When you remove trying to root for us to be not horrible, we are a spectacular and peculiar thing to behold, a remarkable evolutionary oddity, like Pandas. Like how are we the apex predator?! It’s nuts and hilarious.
