That was a great, honest vid. I subscribed. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe the rigged casinos they call capital markets have been a plague upon mankind and need to be a lot more than occupied.

Maybe letting people accrue more currency aka power than they need to live in exchange for no labor has doomed our society and our species.

Maybe those retirement accounts that make up a small fraction of the value of the market were just a Trojan horse to get laborers to allow murder for private profit, homelessness for private profit, academic economic segregation for profit, destruction of the commons for profit…

AOC/Sanders aren’t even that leftwing.

It’s just an optical illusion looking at them from inside the burgeoning fourth Reich of Stupid Hitler’s crazy town.

We haven’t had a vote on the shape or priorities of our economy since 1980. This is an economic dictatorship, and has been longer than most of us here have been alive.

We just get a vote on how/if to address the social wedge symptoms that economy either causes or exacerbates.

And only IF addressing them won’t meaningfully harm quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. Example: you know what would drastically reduce the number of abortions without any kind of ban? A living wage that can support a family. But that would cut into corporate metastasis and is therefore a non-starter by either party in anything more than rhetoric.

You can have scapegoating® or affirmation ribbons(D), so long as you vote for for profit prisons, legal murder for profit, millions of Americans dying of exposure on the streets, crumbling commons, public education in utter ruin… Freedom!

Trump is just the Result of Reagan’s transformation of American politics and culture to greed first and only.

Trump is a vulture picking this nation’s corpse clean. Ronald Reagan and Jack Welch killed us half a century ago.

I appreciate the comment, we made our bed when a gun wasn’t to our head. Twice.

And I’ll argue to the end of the world that Reagan did more harm to this country and the world than Trump can ever hope to. You don’t get to Trump without the Economic betrayal, getting the people’s opposition party permanently on the oligarch take, and the war on science/knowledge/facts/education that get in the way of short term private profit without the Reagan/Welch revolution, that infected Europe too sadly, notably cooperation of message with that bitch Thatcher. The UK is basically a little Forward Operating Base for our greed disease and conversion of nation states into exploiters of their people now.

Trump is just the latest rot of the corpse of the shitty nation Reagan killed. He just isn’t remembered that way because feigned statesmanship as he sold us off piece by piece and set this slow coup in motion.

Don’t. Give. Your. Economic. Elite. A. Single. Centimeter. It’s too late for us, but you can be saaaaaaaaaaaaaved.

I say this as an American.

You’re all better than us, a lot of people here voted for the Trump, and most of us are so successfully deluded by oligarch propaganda that many blame our powerless, homeless neighbors that we abandoned and betrayed for what the owners inflict on us.

We are gaslit beyond all hope. We can’t even agree as a society that our children should be fed, and this madness of greed and demented levels of toxic individualism didn’t start with Trump. It boggles my mind that people have actually wanted to immigrate here in my 40 years living inside this cesspool, only good at being an exporter of death and state mandated avarice.

Unless you’re wealthy, or are sociopathic enough to become so because sociopathy is what we reward, this is a garbage place of largely garbage people. Most here would rather burn ourselves and the world than disempower our capitalists, as that would be “socialism,” a word our captured government rebranded as a boogieman and that, by design, most Americans couldn’t actually define with access to one of our underfunded libraries and a gun to their head.

I went to one of the conservative drone echo chambers and their big line on this is “What grounds does she have to claim asylum in Canada?! She should be sent to Gaza to die!”

No point trying to reply in those spaces, they’re all too far gone, but I want to reply “what grounds? The grounds that Canada hasn’t abandoned their basic humanity or decency in exchange for nothing, as we Americans have.”

This has all been theater for a long time.

Our owners just don’t care to pretend otherwise anymore, because they no longer need to. They’re even starting to cut out the former “opposition” party they got on the take in the 80s to accomplish this coup.

Welcome to the party most have willfully ignored, hoping to be a big winnah in a sea of exploited losers.

Sad most just want to back this off to the neoliberal policies that set the table for this and call that victory, when we need a new framework, something between the New deal and Norway. Unless we socially enfranchise our society from the bottom up with tangible, economic support, and start judging the health of our society by our worst off members, we’d meet right back here after another 10-15 years of the well bribed good cop party(D) being just dandy with murder for profit health insurance schemes and our most betrayed neighbors dying under our crumbling freeways.

Centimillionaire and proud neoliberal Nancy Pelosi spent the months before Trump took power safeguarding the levers of Congressional power… From AOC.

This constitution has failed. It failed decades ago, but few were willing to acknowledge the ugly truth. If you don’t accept that as a starting point if you’re American, you’re still digging.

We turned the bull loose as the slogan said.

What do bulls do to people?

Glad I went Emby.

I’m anticapitalist and it’s inevitable conclusion of fascism when the unrestrained capitalists finally gets their way.

X is literally owned by a fascist, basically the stupid Goebbels to Trump’s stupid Hitler. And sadly, they represent the general malice of the US and our toxic hyper-individualism perfectly. Sounds like you just lump everything you think is bad together.

No world superpower isn’t drenched in blood, but China actually seems to care about there being a future for their people and future generations beyond the next quarterly earnings call. Why wouldn’t a humanist root for that over this dog eat dog rigged race to the bottom with no plan, actively eviscerating any future to goose the next rich fuck earnings call as our neighbors die of exposure under and police capital defense force brutality under a freeway in a box after the capitalists are done breaking us?

I was actually still surprised to see that some Luigi praise has been getting through on TikTok.

Rednote is still better though.

The Matrix.

Pretty fucking screwed.

This country was destroyed under Reagan. We needed a national security strategy against the capitalists back then and instead invited them into the government.

This is just the fire sale, the vultures picking the well rotted corpse clean. Reagan and Welch destroyed this place, don’t give Trump that much credit. He’s just an opportunist who saw profit in chaos.

Maybe Saruman would be a better metaphor for the Neoliberals, but Saruman just seems too… competent.
