That bit makes more sense when you factor in Scotus making corporations people.

It's a matter of conceptualizing violence.

A medieval siege was a battle of attrition. Encircle the castle and just starve them out.

Is this violence even if no one was stabbed and everyone starved?

Wage suppression and inflation are ultimately the same battle of attrition wherein the working class is pushed into poverty. Wage theft from employers is as much as 80% of all theft in the US.

I've never seen a fucking corporation in handcuffs and yet they're still people with tax breaks and infinite political contributions. Odd coincidence.

That's fine. The Democrat plan is to normalize fascism. 1000000235

"Both sides are the same" is ultimately true because both empower capitalism's subjugation of democracy. Every time the GOP tugs right and the DNC meets them half way. The greatest accomplishment of the Democrats in the last 20 years is the ACA- designed by the heritage foundation but stripped of the greatest cost savings measures.

Step one: fund raise on trans rights.

Step two: not support trans rights or any meaningful reform for the people.

Step three: keep losing support while leaning ever right

Step four: fail to do fuck all about RvW for 4 decades

Step five: blame trans people for losing by bringing the party "too far left" while continuing to cut corporate taxes and increase police funding as a percentage of municipal budgets

What I'm trying to figure out is if he says "short sighted" because he thinks it's not intentionally crippling the US or because they don't want people to know it's intentional.

If America saw what America was doing to America...

Some of this is objective. Some is just nostalgia.

You can still download music and play wow. On this front you probably miss simpler times when you weren't aware of problems you are now or resent responsibilities that took you from things you enjoyed and make you feel old.

On the other hand, society globally is markedly worse than before COVID with substantial right-wing shifts.

Unfortunately, end of days accelerationists and techno fascist billionaires have been working quite hard to make the world a worse place for several decades...

So I largely agree. Personally, in terms of skills and assets, I'm in a much better place than I was 2000 years ago. However, in terms of happiness and hope for the future... I actually still had some then.

"Rushing change" is a glorious example of "liberal" media sane washing a fascist coup burning the guardrails to the ground.

Most people fail to realize that reason and rationality are best case scenarios for hormonal meat beasts and very far from the default.

Fairly non sequitur. You're not wrong but people being coached to revel in hate from birth isn't going to be addressed by encryption on your wank session.
