For people in C-SPAM specifically, there's a lot of left-liberals and moderate socialists whose entire lifetime political experience is getting burned and screwed over again and again. It becomes easy to feel that there is no hope for positive social change. This sense of despair, being useful to capital, which controls the majority of media, is actively cultivated. I know from my own experience I went from thinking the democrats could fix things, to thinking the democrats needed reform and then could fix things, to losing hope in reform in the democratic party, to losing hope entirely in the American electoral system. I started reading and learning about ML theory though, and that actually made me feel something like hope for the first time in a long time. There's the foundation for a theory of change there that could be applied to America.

In other cases though, I think hopelessness can also be an excuse for inaction; due to some investment in the way things currently are or fear of change.

lol if you’re running for office and have the lukewarmest of lukewarm takes that amount to “maybe israel shouldn’t get a free pass on everything forever? maybe?” the DCCC and mossad will have a swat team in your house within 12 hours to murder your dog

No but you see, after allegedly reading ML theory, he’s convinced democrats will save us from billionaires and climate change.

"allegedly reading ML theory" As though its inconceivable that I've started, ugh, reading pamphlets and books that are freely available online?

I also don't know where you get the idea that I think democrats will save us. I specifically mentioned I don't think the democratic party is reformable.

Personally I am an absolutist against any kind of gun regulation because I don't care if people shoot up a school or a mall or whatever. I don't have any horse in the race as I don't own guns or have any kids to die in a school shooting, but the fact is these kinds of things happen when society has completely broken down and I don't believe in addressing only the symptom if you intend to ignore the cause.

One thing I find funny is that dems are evergreen in their willingness to attempt federal gun control measures both knowing that they're likely to fail and knowing they'll simply ensure the republican base turn out to oppose them. It doesn't strike me as something that will benefit them electorally but maybe I'm wrong.

it's more reasonable to not care because nobody will ever do anything about it in any meaningful way and nothing you can say do think or hope for will change that

since when has that ever stopped them

gun control is one instance, perhaps the only instance, of the party roles being reversed where the democrats move things in a particular direction while the GOP blocks any movement back. like they let the assault weapon ban expire but other than that none of the gun control poo poo the democrats have gotten up to over the years has ever been meaningfully reversed in congress. the courts, sometimes, but that's it

I was listening to Tides of History and WonderyTM has a podcast coming out about the Brumaire of January 6th. I expect the podcast networks have their minions poised to do shows about any political scandal that's sufficiently noteworthy, so people like this lady will be left out in the cold. Soon all they'll have left is getting mad online.

I guess “mutual friend” means a third party that you and another are friends with, rather than one friend who reciprocates your admiration.

This is all terminally pedantic of course.

Based on my exposure to russiagate obsessives, the meaningless differences in manners of speaking are ways for the crackpots to go A HA!! only a Russian would speak English this way!!

Was first exposed to it by some crank fingering their posting enemy as a Russian troll because he used "it is" instead of "it's", which is literally just a scene they lifted from the TV show "The Americans"
