I believe it’s called “HyperNormalisation.”
The president of the USA was sharing secret letters with his best friend, a convicted pedophile? “Oh well, nothing we can do.”
A genocide is resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians? “Yeah true, but don’t be annoying about it.”
The environment is becoming more polluted, warmer, less inhabitable every passing day? “I guess someone will do something about it eventually.”

“Comrade, your job is to make fun video games to appease the western treat demons.”
“NOOOOO! I wanted to invade the American mainland like in Red Dawn!”
8·19 天前Personally I loved reading “The Peasant War in Germany” by Frederick Engels, because 1) it is a complete work which explores its topic thoroughly, 2) it presents a coherent argument that actually persuaded me with evidence, and 3) of all the books on the subject, Engels’ was actually the best and most helpful for understanding things. Really busts the myth that “religions cause wars” by exploring how religion is mostly just an excuse people use for underlying economic reasons that really drive their behaviors.

It’s definitely a “joke” poem based off the lyrics to the traditional song “Here Comes the Bride.”
-
Here comes the bride,
-
All dressed in white.
-
Where is the groom?
-
He’s in the ladies’ room.
-
What is his reminder?
-
To work on his binder.

[hard to read] is the [hard to read] his dogy!

I mean, Obama would have to have a “reverse Fetterman stroke” that destroys the liberal/conservative parts of his brain in order for this to become a reality. Obama’s words and actions have shown that he has no genuine interest in leftist politics, it was all for show.

Could have just stopped the sentence there.
One of George Washington’s slaves ran away from him, while he was President. The slave, named Oney Judge, ran away because after a lifetime of faithful service to the Washington family, she was informed that she was going to be given away as a wedding present to one of Martha Washington’s nieces. After Oney escaped, George Washington sent a bounty hunter to hunt her, but she was able to evade him, living as a free woman in New Hampshire.

Wrong. You are not just wrong, but you are violently racist.
Abolition started with slaves freeing themselves. Nat Turner. Harriet Tubman. Without people like that, the Civil War would have never happened, slavery would have never ended.
John Brown was inspired by Nat Turner, and he literally worked hand-in-hand with Harriet Tubman, who seriously considered joining him in his violent raid on Harper’s Ferry. John Brown went on illegal (and violent) raids into the south to free slaves and then illegally transport them to Canada. John Brown murdered pro-slavery men in retaliation for their murders of abolitionists in Kansas. Do you think what John Brown did was wrong? Do you think arresting and executing John Brown was a good thing? Do you think Sherman’s march to the sea and the violence he committed against southerners is a bad thing?
I don’t expect you to have the correct response, because you are a violently racist, anti-black person. You honestly believe that rich white dudes sitting in a room writing some words on a piece of paper had a bigger effect on ending slavery than black people who actually put their lives and bodies on the line to free themselves (displaying your internalized white supremacy).
Please educate yourself. Start by reading The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America by the fantastic author Gerald Horne. Or maybe you’re too afraid to read this book, because it’s not written by a “safe” old dead liberal white man.
From Wikipedia:
Commodus was assassinated by the wrestler Narcissus in 192, ending the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was succeeded by Pertinax, the first claimant in the tumultuous Year of the Five Emperors.
So that means that, if history repeats itself, President Newsom will challenge Jake Paul to a fight and die in the ring, followed by a rapid succession of short-lived administrations. Sounds entertaining
Counterpoint: Kamala Harris only won like 2% of her vote in her HOME STATE in 2020 and the Dems made her their superstar in 2024.
That’s a funny joke. No way they would let anyone even tangentially associated with the DSA into a cabinet position any higher than Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Personally, I believe that Newsom can push Steve Bannon to the left. All it takes is a few more “The West Wing” esque speeches where the Democrats keep the moral high ground. Looking forward to the new regime imposing “Abundance with Cracker Characteristics” in Project 2029.
Governor Newsome proposed gerrymandering all of California to make it so that every single district has a democratic majority. That means that after the 2026 mid-terms, the Democrats would take the House of Representatives back from the Republicans. This comes as a response to Texas doing a similar gerrymandering.
Who knows what the Republicans would do in response? Maybe every red-state does racist gerrymandering to counter California’s blue wave. I don’t think the Republicans have any intention of allowing themselves to lose power ever again, and they would definitely prefer rigging future elections, declaring martial law, or just arresting Democratic politicians to losing control of any branch of government.
Newsome and Trump both have egos so enormous that they might actually move towards Balkanization not on any ideological ground but because they hate each other so much and desire to be the most beloved and powerful people in America (which is to say, in the world). If we really are backsliding from capitalism into neo-feudalism or techno-feudalism, then this might be a Warring States Period for the USA…
Yeah I’ve been working on boosting my Sleep Elo lately, I started out at just 500 but I’m up to around 1600 now. I think in a few more months I might try to become a pro sleeper. I just ordered some RGB Alienware pillows, once I get those set up I can really become a Slumber-Chad.
I appreciate the sentiment, but you do realize that the United States can literally just pay money right? American’s tax money does NOT actually pay for the military industrial complex, the economics doesn’t really work that way.
