Glad to have finally migrated from Friendster. Vancouver, BC plus ORH/YYZ/SEA/OSL/YYC

However, I feel like this is starting to become a way of soft-pedaling neoliberal policies and accepting subjugation.
Case in point in particular about inspirational candidates. Wilson is motivating voters because she's talking about doing things, while Harrell has been scrambling to pass in his homework at the last minute with a flurry of different announcements to make it seem like he gives a shit.

I mean, what kind of person exactly gets inspired to knock on doors or work at a phone bank for the bland centrists Douthat is advocating for?
A lot of British + Commonwealth conservatives are probably going to turn hardcore small-r republican once Charles goes, if only because their loyalties were first and foremost to their generation and they'll just see the current heir apparent as a spoiled rich kid.

A true civil war would devastate the US economy for generations, and even he isn't stuipid enough to encourage US billionaires to decamp for Singapore or Dubai or somewhere.
29.10.2025 18:11 β π 23 π 1 π¬ 2 π 1This is why in the long term secession is the only answer to this problem. Much as I'd like to have an imperial president that can sidestep a conservative Congress and cancel student debt, I do not want to deal with bullshit like this ever again.

I think they're all great performances! But an important part of the story seems specifically that Bob is a background character that's inexplicably a main character.
