Hyperaware of it to the point that I've been basically paralyzed with fear, disgust, and ultimately apathy since late bush/early obama.
I think learning about the Waco Horror (the lynching of Jesse Washington) was the big "We're not gonna make it, are we?" moment for me. The mask of humanity sure slipped off everyone's face with that one - they fucking broke his teeth out as souvenirs and took christmas card photos with the burnt corpse. Sort of shit that's somehow both "eye-wateringly brutal" evil and "banality of evil" evil at the same time.
I still don’t get how these people are able to frame themselves as populists. (Aside from a massively powerful propaganda machine, Americans having the political literacy of a brick, and there not really being anyone to stop them)
Someone called us The Jerry Springer Triangle a few weeks ago and I’ve had it stuck in my head ever since
I’m imagining a guy who’s just a walking pile of red flags and bad vibes, but never actually does anything wrong. Perhaps a Tucker and Dale vs. Evil type situation
Neoliberalism is the real threat, and trump is a symptom. Not to insinuate that he isn’t a threat in his own way, but as long as the system remains the way it is we’ll just get an endless procession of guys like him.
The dude doesn’t exist in isolation.
Americans are weird because they constantly badger people for being “too PC” and “soy” or whatever, then end up being insufferable prudes who blanch at the idea of saying “hell” or “fuck”. (Not to mention what they think of anyone who actually lives outside their mores and norms)
The adoption of plastics as a “one size fits all” solution was a horrible error
Sometimes I consider becoming a involuntary extinctionist. Pull the plug on humanity
I hate these people in ways words can’t even articulate.
Testing new code in production...
Part of the problem with resistance as an aesthetic is that anyone can spin themselves as the resistance regardless of what position they actually occupy.
