Trump: “We’re pretty close to a deal with India… we’ll bring the tariffs down.”

you have to be at psychotic levels mentally to listen to someone like stephen miller and JD vance and not think..."yeah these guys should not be anywhere near governance or any form of power for that matter." they should be institutionalised.

the internet is not just infrastructure. it's a symbolic organ. a myth engine. a place where desire is both staged and consumed.

power doesn’t fear your arguments, it fears movement. The left used to be about breaking things open.
now it’s about maintaining a fragile consensus.
no wonder the only people who look like they’re shaking things up are frauds

trump is completely untethered to the truth. he’s willing to say anything to get his way.
and his base believes that he is tethered to their truth. so for them..he is a truth sayer.
when you push back on trump you’re essentially attacking the most true political symbol they’ve ever believed in.

Politics isnt just policy, it’s atmosphere. If you don’t have energy, unpredictability, and risk, you’re just managing a movements decline.

“have you said thank you once”
this comment to zelensky will define the political career of jd vance. not in a good way obvi. but it demonstrates his fundamental lack of charisma.
he simply doesn’t have it. it’s a glitch in the matrix to have this dude at any level of power.

trump and jd vance looked weak in the meeting with zelensky. it’s disgraceful.

edginess isn’t optional. If you dont have it, the status quo replicates itself. the left was always the unpredictable force, the glitch in the system. if you lost that…you lose the aesthetic of change.

the left needs edginess. we lost the edge. it’s part of the reason “rebellious” aesthetics have moved to the right…
they feel unwelcome in left spaces. why? we’ve allowed the managerial class and their virtue signaling to control the in group-out group. this has marginalized the working class….
