I just heard a version of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" where they replaced "a pistol that shoots" with "a trumpet that shoots."
They politically corrected an already politically correct Christmas song. There will never be enough revisions to keep up with the demands of modern sensibilities.

if your country wants to tax you for expatriating, that's literally what Indentured servitude is. you are born a slave and they want you to die a slave. people think slavery got eradicated in modern society. no, it did not. it just changed shape and became normalized.

Is it just me or are people celebrating the death of woke culture a little too soon. DEI, Intersectionalism, woke, etc has been in the making for 5 decades..
The latest US president is just now shining a light on the surface of a deeply rooted and established counter culture.
The Overton Window is still a thing.
Marxists know how to play the long game
@Justicar It's never a good thing either way. But I do agree the framing should at least be non hostile. Ideally we rule our homes and have that full authority with the women. But that is not the case. I am simply though not outright hostile to women in their nature, but in their current state. It is simply sad the system embraces collapse through women instead of men reasserting authority over their lives. The time will come when they are forced to though. When men take over again.

I vooted too. Yes my individual vote does not matter in the grand scheme of things such as the federal government, but it does matter for more local races and measures. The more local the issue, the more important the vote.
But no one should have voting as their only hope and plan in life. If you are looking for election results to save you, you are already doomed.

Just thinking: The 401k was NEVER meant to be a primary long term retirement account for the American *worker*. It was designed as a tax dodge for the business and corporate executives.

Everything you've just described has a name: "containment".
It describes the practice of "allowing" populist dissent to succeed as a pressure release to ward against society blowing up in their faces.
The public gets what they want, pressure dissipates, revolution is avoided, but behind the scenes the various deep states dismantle and de-fang the threat.
Brexit is the prefect example. It was never delivered and millions of immigrants were let in. Containment.

I think I had the correct Rick and Morty experience. I liked it but the 3rd season seemed forced. Lost track of it after that. Never got any merch. Never figured out the drama with the fanbase or the creator guy at all, but it sounded gay. It gave us the just x with extra steps meme so okay great. That's it.
But, what it is just funny to me that people would rather simp for a party or their personal caesar figure that they can't consider the possibility that there was an amount of allowance to ease public skepticism of the system. Someone that can be a scapegoat for the failures or be a unifying figure to start a war with to protect our 'Greatest Ally', but these people have learned nothing and will simp politics. Funny seeing all the senate leader shit now and them pushing whatever their media says
Others I talk to take this as a 'Too Big to Rig' situation... which I'd agree with had 2020 not happened and shown nakedly that their upper limit was 80 mil people. These people do not see the potential in Trump being absorbed if not partially so by the system or having already been an actor in it. Personally I think he's not necessarily a direct actor, but a more milktoast 90s made man wanting to draw some things back to that era. I doubt serious change coming along.
Obviously keeping in mind that the Republican Party is the primary adversary preventing change.
What this reeks to me is a few things. It is evident that they wanted Trump to win or more so that they had the capabilities of keeping him out. But they did not. This pretty much confirms that they want to dump their issues onto him or have him get White America together for a war.
Though it does seem perhaps that they wanted to let him in with control of house and senate. It could have been 'flipped' red, but something just tells me they wanted the margins slim for uniparty types to control.
But Magically they didn't have enough to get Kamala in. Even though 2020 proved otherwise that they had a higher upper limit.
So they did fortify the senate races in Swing States https://x.com/shylockh/status/1855872507271639539

@FinalDresdonation I listened to his podcast years ago when he had just started to date her. She started intruding on the podcast. First a little, then a lot, then she made herself a co-host, then she was pushing feminism and reconciling with your cheating wife.
He had every chance to get rid of her. It's like he got shot at in bullet time, but still took the bullet to the chest.
