Disney decides to "pivot to the future" of AI generated animation and fire all human animators.
People should constantly talk about Democrats being controlled opposition unwilling to speak against the wealthy.
Too bad the only people that matter are corporations.
Cowards?
Pelosi was pretty brave defending insider trading after someone used her husband to stress test their hammer.
They aren't cowards. They're morons or traitors.
They aren't -afraid- to do the right thing.
They're afraid of losing money and power. Or worse, they actually think they're doing a good thing.
It's a dopamine versus serotonin issue. People think they want to be happy, but that longing is more for purpose. Eating ice cream can make you happy, but learning to cook your own meals makes you a more component being able to provide for yourself and those around you.
Most modern luxuries are basically Skinner boxes at this point monetized in some way to keep us staring at it or consuming it.
We doom scroll at the expense of relationship building.
We door dash instead of have community gardens.
Instant gratification isn't always and intrinsically bad, but the more the default it becomes, the less patient and competent people become.
Then you pile on decades of American exceptionalism and actively encouraging selfishness at the expense of a functioning society and the present state of things is hardly surprising.
If you think it's insane it's basically still how we took the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Lol. Welcome to chasing a pipe dream or crippling depression.
The answer is largely as simple as socialism plus Kant with some secular Jesus because any system that condones human exploitation will eventually implode due to psychopaths' willingness to sacrifice others for power.
But literally basically everything is done wrong to maximize exploitation. Housing, schooling, medicine, food... All fucked to make the richest richer.
Liberalism is the slow road to fascism.
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.
"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
