Lately I feel like therapy is a cudgel liberals are using to brow beat people in ignoring that material conditions are actually getting much worse, and it’s some sort of one weird trick to recommend to people so that they just magically become happy despite everything that’s going on.

this is what diversity equity and inclusion initiatives are doing too

its a hell of a trick because you cant criticize these initiatives without seeming like youre against the values that they claim to represent but thats kind of the whole problem this corporatized bullshit approach is accomplishing nothing except dragging those values through the mud and making it seem like theyre the problem rather than the solution

Odds on whether Biden does a concession speech if he loses?

100% he does and he uses gracious language and all the bullshit about it being democracy or fascism or w/e goes out the window because it's a crock of poo poo

I stayed up to see her capitulation speech and instead she sent out some toady because she was belligerently drunk lol

I’m on the west coast so the timing of these kinds of things is a little different and everyone knew she was cooked I want to say by 8pm at the latest, but I was at a 30th birthday party that night for a friend who was like the biggest Hillary person I’ve ever met, had her as her desktop image on her laptop even, and I just remember her getting progressively drunker and more despondent as the evening went on

this is what really rubs me the wrong way about squid game its very close to being a good structural critique of capitalism but it takes a hard swerve in the second half to just being about an incomprehensible conspiracy theory that makes less and less sense the more and more the show tries to make you think about it

the 8 show by contrast owns bones because its very much a story about how material conditions create petty tyrants and recognizes correctly that the exact source of those material conditions is entirely beside the point

Deflation is a terrible policy goal and it's good that prices won't return to their former level

the US has too much public infrastructure rather than too little (which is why it is in such a shabby state).

Support for Israel gives high ROI for US tech and MIC companies and the state, collectively giving returns in hundreds of billions and keeps Israel from aligning with Russia and China. Literally any president will provide support for Israel until the costs exceed benefits.

the MIC is also important for the left e.g. Fetterman and Sanders as the labor forces in MIC there are unionized.

worked so late into the night that by the time i could finally check the news the results were in

the immediate aftermath was the drunkest i have ever been and an important step towards my cspam awakening

I already didn't give a poo poo at the time since I had supported Bernie in the primary and checked out after that.
