certainly a liberal take, as a poor who escaped from flyover country…most of em arent (completely) dumb or somehow incapable of seeing their position in life, though the conservative propaganda machine does a damn thorough job of obfuscating things…

most have just given up on things ever getting better, accepting their lot and just doing what they can to make a better life for their kids or other loved ones.

people move out to flyover country to “raise kids” and/or waiting to die in relative peace. the ones raising kids expecting rural america to be better than city america generally have a very sobering moment of disillusionment when they finally find out most of these chucklefuck towns are even more corrupt/locked down than the cities.

you literally have to pick and choose, it’s otherwise filled with thousands of contradictory statements.

normal sized tits are such a rarity

the thing that gets me is these people don’t realize there’s a much easier way to make $ not working…just play the stock market, that’s what all the big rich fucks who don’t do any real work do. it’s one big casino that most people buy into passively, especially in bubbles like this…it’s incredibly easy to make shitloads of $. it’s so easy that you quickly lose any interest in “grinding”.

it’s certainly not fulfilling though…gambling is no way to make a living.

if it’s any consolation, this bubble with burst soon and most of these types will be too distressed working an actual job to bother chasing the rat-race

it really does start young…it dawned on me recently that this was the whole point to musical chairs, and a number of other childhood “games” pushed onto us at school in bumfuck nowhere. there are so many of these shitass towns in the middle of nowhere, whose whole existence is basically just the local real estate robber barons trying to get one of their kids to “make it” so they can funnel a bunch of $ back into their fief.

and the backbone of all of it is exploiting a deliberately under-educated workforce…american capitalism is fucking disgusting.

i think the thing that pisses me off most is how long it took me to get around to the fact that everybody knows this, and just…either accepts their place or doesn’t care because the system benefits them.

i’m autistic…until this realization clicked for me i was kind of running around in dismay wondering why noone seemed to care everything was collapsing…but this too is just another part of the plan, it’s called “boom and bust investing/disaster capitalism”

everyday that goes by that these people arent assassinated surprises me, i’m not talking trump (he’s obviously a braindead puppet by now) but the sociopaths running the show and making obvious ratfuck moves behind the throne that have got to be stepping on so many toes…

the US is making it more easy than ever for China to set itself up as the new world reserve currency/police/center of stability.

china works towards china’s self interests, they’re predictable but ultimately easy for the west to respond to if they stop ratfucking for a split-second.

you can’t say remotely the same for the US, the US is an abusive partner that smacks you around for 4 years then gaslights you things are different (while still smacking you around) for 4 years, repeat

not taking adhd meds

how do you do it?

please share

poverty except for getting all their expenses bankrolled by the richest grifter around

what did the king say to the pope?

neither does the US, clearly

there an alternative for google maps?

nope

unless your a silly frenchmen, trying to impose order upon chaos

if you understood what i was trying to communicate it was spelled correctly

Trump really is the great unifyer, goddamn

lol, no way that could work

the people paying attention to the news constantly and using that to actually makw change are not watching a constant stream of it from their phone…they’re coordinating in groups to affect the most effecient change for their time/sphere of influence (first step generally being to secure the local government, the majority in the US are captured by local business/real estate baron interests)

if your sphere of influence just comprises your immediate family and friends, it does you no good to occupy your mind with the suffering of those halfway across the world (unless you think their suffering is tied to an easily solvable problem you have the answer to). doing so just robs you of energy/agency to affect change where you can have the most impact.

there’s saying i don’t remember where it’s from… before you fix the world you have to fix your country, before you fix your country you have to fix your community, before you fix your community you have to fix your neighborhood, before you fix your neighborhood you have to fix your family, before you fix your family you have to fix yourself.
