@mcuban.bsky.social No hard feelings, this was basically the Mookie Betts trade, when you know he's gone you have to maximize return. The Dems trade in this metaphor was substantially worse, for the entire coutnry.

Being ignorant is being ignorant. Not knowing for literally any reason is definitionally to be ignorant. Willful ignorance is stupidity. Why that's so hard to put into a meme is beyond me; not sure why so many people who engaged with this post don't understand that. Words mean things.

Realizing that both major parties value profit more than Democracy is a good start.

Did y'all miss the part where Democrats spent the last 30 years *not* passing populist social reform the multiple times they had the chance?
Broligarchs against democracy: my essay in @theatlantic.bsky.social, based on my new book, "Offshore: Stealth Wealth & the New Colonialism" (shorturl.at/rTacl).
They're high-tech's opponents of democracy & their motto is: "Liberty, oligarchy & fraternity."

Modern sociopolitical discourse for independents is ostensibly being a ping-pong ball being whacked by paddles accusing you of being the other paddle, when you're just sitting are all "You crazy greedy fucks are fucking everything up."

It's like people actively desire to segregate themselves by faction into echo chambers so that they can pride-seek from confirmation bias.

If you want this platform to be better than whatever Twitter transformed into, maybe do your part to make it not an echo-chamber.

How is it that the party of "Joy and Love" mass-exoduses to BlueSky to... endlessly shit-meme the opposition? I thought we were supposed to be the anti-hate people.
