The point is trite, since it’s been echoed since the 90s and 00s, and is and was much of Gen X’s cultural expression: The choice presented by @peppersky of being a suburbanite robbed of humor and youth, or a manchild, is a form of colonization of the mind via capitalism. Our unique selves buried under consumption of content and fulfilling social roles and goals determined by the capitalist system. (Not that there’s anything particularly wrong with either of these choices, but living like this also turns life into a purgatory of repetition and variation. It deprives life of color and purpose that become filled by junk ideology.)
Instead, we should be aspiring to be self-actualized adults with our own individuality and aspiration for life beyond checking milestones or consuming media.
I played Wandersong on Steam this weekend. It is a beautiful and sweet game, I love it.
I really love happy people as presented by the Bard in that game.
For me, the show isn’t fun to watch. I liked Jensen Ackles though
I kind of noticed that westerners treat the oppressed as non existent entities, or ghosts.
The inside joke on the banned subreddit was that Citations Needed provided more insightful coverage and analysis of the world as it was to nascent and literate people discovering leftist critique of the world. The joke was about what Citations Needed was not. It was not exciting, irreverent, mockery of politics and media but coherent and thorough assessment and dissection of media, politics, power, and the history of bullshit.

I don’t see the purpose of asking this question when Israel is still extant and capable of surviving while Palestine burns. Israel hasn’t surrendered because they can do this attrition warfare longer than Gaza can hold out, despite any gains or advantages Ansrallah and Hezbollah have over Israel at the moment. Israel and the US are both willing to escalate in calculated and measured ways.
Considering that Jewish Israelis are 70% of the population, it’s likely that they will stay in the long term. Before Oct 7th, there was already a sort of exodus of Israelis to Europe/US because of lack of economic opportunity, high rents, low wages; reasons people leave their country as it is. Israel is not really stable without US support.
I suspect the numbers are ages of persons.
The lead mod, now deleted account, femimarxi, purged the ML LSC bots like back in 2018. The banned mods made capitalism_in_decay.
Reddit is very much a narrative controlled site, by ngos and state actors.
I kind of just stick with trueanon sub now
There was like a small expose of proof showing LSC has an abundance of bots in it.
There was a repost of an old meme and the old meme from then to now had the same comments too.
That subreddit is probably brigaded or surveilled with bots and paid posters.
Years prior to this incident, the man who has now been identified as Frederik Christiensen-Glücksburg, had been arrested for kicking down his brother’s Lego castle.
Considering how impotent our input is to the function of the government, I’ve stopped being outraged at them. Disgusted, definitely.
I liked Helck.
I keep thinking it’s theater for the willfully ignorant Jewish diaspora population back in the US and Europe. People in denial often seek affirmation of the counter reality.
My confusion is that the situation is not obscure anymore that it is impossible to deny unless that unraveling Israel also unravels their personal identity.
I want to believe that this irrationality is the conclusion and final erosion of a society like Israel that can not achieve its settler colonial ambitions and is now forced to face their ugly crimes instead of letting time whitewash and sanitize it the way the US and Canada have theirs.
I guess I want to believe that to be the case because the alternative is further escalation.
Anyone notice twitter Israeli propagandists post pictures of a market with lots of food and call it present day Gaza?
Does anyone believe that.
Started watching House of the Dragon. I quite like it. Certainly more coherent and suspenseful than GoT was past season 3.
