Anyway. Watch both videos. But The Left one is now not a recommendation but a demand. It's a very compelling argument against not just liberalism but even the failures of progressive movements, addressing the reality that reformation is ultimately untenable.

Literally, look at this. Look at this and tell me that people want to critically engage with the flaws in our own fucking community. Same channel. 45.7K subs.

It's also not lost on me AT ALL that The Left video features the Black creator in the thumbnail while the cringe video doesn't.

It says a fucking LOT when you compare the view count on this video that interrogates both the American Left and liberalism to the cringe video...

And if you want a double feature that I just stumbled into.

I don’t know how to break this to you, but Cory Booker endorsed Michael Bloomberg for NYC mayor and reached out to support Eric Adams after he won a the democratic primary

Is he still up there???

Clearly I am reaching a point where I'm going to be airing out my AFAB grievances more and more here so sorry if that's a fucking issue but I can't tell you enough how goddamn dehumanizing it is for my healthcare to literally revolve around "You've got a vagina. Just deal with it."

Like, bless the souls of the handful of fucking people in this system TRYING to help me. I'm grateful when the person on the other line has at least performative empathy while they do their job. But our healthcare system is a joke, especially when you're born as a womb instead of a person.

Honestly I wish just putting me under the knife without any diagnostics was an option. Treat this shit like a burst appendix and rip it out. I don't want it. If I have to supplement hormones for the rest of my life, fucking fine.

I just want it all fucking gone.

Hollywood has always had a problem with throwing VFX folks under the bus (Glares at James Corden and Rebel Wilson at the 2020 Oscars) and maliciously underselling their work (Glares at Jon Favreau during the Lion King 2019 PR), but this is a whole other level.

Unpoetic Justice continues to just put out videos of the thoughts in my head.

You can't claim to champion diversity in media and equal rights and then turn around and take a job acting in Harry Potter.

It is impossible and whatever activism you claim to partake in is fake af.

Andrea Long Chu on Thomas Chatterton Williams is as good as you'd expect

Harry Potter Audiobooks Reveals Cast Led By Hugh Laurie, Matthew Macfadyen, Riz Ahmed & Michelle Gomez; Cush Gumbo To Narrate; Release Dates Set Pottermore Publishing and Audible are unveiling the star-studded cast lineup for Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions.

Welp. That's Dr. House in the bin...

We see it all the time for so many issues. Sure the population hates privatized Healthcare and a guy shooting an insurance executive birthed a cult of personality overnight. Actually the people don't want Healthcare. Trust me I know and you don't.

It's a weird weaponization of representative democracy while refusing to be democratic. It doesn't matter how loud and clear you are in the moment about what you as a voter want. Somewhere out there is a majority who doesn't want it and I have to cater to them. They're somewhere dont worry about it.

This rips but Im also fascinated by his reply. "I don't think the majority agrees with you." Now obviously the entire population of Nebraska isn't in that room but it's a glimpse into a strategy that a lot of politicians, red and blue, use to justify deliberately ignoring their constituents.

When the news is just so absurd that you've got a million things you could say and yet nothing at all measures up to how you feel.

If the vulnerable you are protecting are people who would sooner stab you in the back to get theirs rather than those who are begging and crying out for help under the foot of oppression... Personally, I feel like the answer of where you've gone wrong is exceptionally clear.

Yes. Those falling into these political cults ARE victims and deserve better. But at a certain point, you have to make the choice between the many and the few.

If your community is full of mostly "moderates..." you're not moderate yourself. Choosing to be apolitical is a political choice.

And... I get it. It's tough. Because on the one hand, part of what drives people further into the arms of their oppressor is failing to pull the person out of it. Starving the beast sometimes results in validating a false narrative.

But these people aren't the only ones vulnerable here.

Believing people have a CAPACITY for good and that we are not innately evil =/= believing a person's heart can be changed through civility alone.

Yes. Human empathy and love and compassion are important in the deprogramming process. But that is a process that comes AFTER radical action.

Let me tell you as someone who has worked in blue collar fields in southwestern Virginia you never quite get used to a pleasant polite coworker getting a little too excited about a topic and revealing that they would gleefully shoot an immigrant if given the chance.

It’s not actually possible to 'do more with less' So how can we protect human dignity in (another) age of austerity?

"No, you can’t feed more kids with less food. No system can be infinitely optimized."

Mmmm. Coming into work to your boss straight up echoing the fears you've had for years about the business failing. Good stuff.

“We have to do everything we can to fight back against Trump and that’s why it’s my responsibility is to shit on any popular Democrat under 80 who gets voters excited.”

First time in two weeks I've woken up with only a headache and not rotting insides so I guess there's light at the end of the tunnel? 🫩

Somehow, I am SOBER...

And ranting about Naruto.

These old fucking pieces of shit have been doing this for so goddamn long that they've forgotten that most of their generation is dying off and this crowd they're supposed to be representing now is made of the teenagers they dedicated their careers to villanizing.

Eat them alive, my brethren.

People taking advantage of a shitty situation to peddle unfounded narratives against uninvolved parties.
