You just made me realize one thing. Yes the republicans are THE problem, but democrats are like an accomplice.

You just realised that now? This is what others have been saying for a long time! As an outsider looking at American politics, the Democratic party is the opposite cheek of the same ass, in which the other cheek is the Republican party. It’s unbelievable that many Americans refuse to see this. I get that the US has first past the post and has to vote for “lesser evil”, but other countries also have the same system, and yet these countries have third parties gaining seats and influencing policies massively. Heck, even one hundred years ago, third parties are getting elected in Congress and Senate.

Why are third parties aren’t getting elected anymore? The American public has been pacified by corporate mass media to think within a narrow and curated worldview. To quote Noam Chomsky: the smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. Americans have been conditioned to think it’s only liberals versus conservatives, and Democrats versus Republicans. Meanwhile, both parties are in the pocket of the oligarchs.

It’s good that more and more Americans have been waking up, in an unironic sense, to think outside the corporate narrative, because the No Kings protests is a start for the mass mobilisation and activism. But this is useless if the movement does not translate to substantive electoral changes. Even many Americans still assume that the next presidential election will be establishment Democrats versus the far right Republican. And those who make assumption repeat the Democratic party thought terminating cliché of “vote for lesser evil” and “perfect is the enemy of good”. That said, it is good that many Americans gradually turning away from the corporate establishment worldview, and starting to become more politically active by now discussing to primary progressives into power to circumvent the first past the post system.

You can try to be ethical under capitalism, but it will be almost impossible.

Democrats: We have rich people to appease!

I like how the media is hammering in the identity of the hero not because of “DEI” or “wokeness”, but to counter the obvious bad faith right wing actors that would spread fake news.

Injustice Gods Among Us if it’s still available!

Steam reviews are comedy gold.

Newsweek is sensationalist. They only care about clicks.

Original Sin 2 I mean

I am currently playing Divinity 2, and the game’s humour and lore is indeed dark.

So that’s what it is about.

Times New Roman is precisely what Trump admin wants. You know, since the far right has a hard on on the Roman empire.

Me: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!

What Westerners don’t realise is that Facebook’s main audience are people from developing countries. FB provides free and unlimited access to everyone even without internet data. But the actual price? You guessed it.

Trump and MAGA is really just showing what US has always been, which the country pretends not to be.

This should be in Not the Onion. This is so farcical.

I can’t be bothered to fact check but my teacher once said that anyone who left 20 km from their residence are technically tourists.

I mean capital “L” Liberals are still pro-capitalism so they are still pro-corporations. Their policies are what contributed to the cost of living and housing crises across the world today. By all intents and purposes, the Liberal Party is right wing.

NDP backing some very anti-citizen policy.

I didn’t know about that. It seems to be the problem with many leftist parties is catering too much to the right.

But how many are willing to fight?

plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books

What can I say? Libs gonna Lib.

Part of the blame is America exporting their brand of conservatism and Canada caught the flu.

Yeah the post screams “your dictatorship is bad so we’ll stick with our dictator.”
