Tongue-in-cheek socioeconomic analysis of U.S. politics and zeitgeist from an autodidactic, non-binary, Eastern Orthodox, working-class millennial punk surfing the wave of late-stage capitalism in Midwestern U.S.A.

Your righteous anger at being mistreated by people is nothing to be ashamed of, no matter what your narcissistic, repressive parents told you

I truly believe the top national security threat is malicious and/or unsophisticated boomers (as well as the top existential threat when you consider rampant, unfettered capitalism and climate change). MAGA fascism is a result of malignant boomerism. We need nationwide power-of-attorney asap

Yet another consequence of the boomers choosing to drive drunk and fall asleep behind the wheel of society rather than hand over the keys
No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should
when its definitely not a hostage situation

“We are starving the people until democrats agree to take their health care away” would probably be a losing message if we had actual journalists instead of just billionaire owned pr outfits.

“How far, O rich, do you extend your senseless avarice? Do you intend to be the sole inhabitants of the earth? Why do you drive out the fellow sharers of nature, and claim it all for yourselves? The earth was made for all… Why do you rich claim it as your exclusive right?”

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

The GOP is using the shutdown to literally make people choose between starving and losing their healthcare. That’s how sadistic this is and what the age of fascism is going to look like unless we defeat it.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

Helps to realize that as the fascist steal money from every program and wreck the economy, they're pumping money into a secret police army that will be loyal to them and the only available employer to a lot of men who can't find work and have been radicalized meticulously for years.

Keep the baby boomers well-fed and keep plying them with shiny new tariff-exempt appliances and you can literally get away with murder. The younger/future generations can just eat shit apparently
The worst thing about the fascists doing what they’re doing is knowing they’ll get away with it because the generation that largely owns the existing socioeconomic levers of power (baby boomers) won’t give up their cushy retirement lifestyles to stop them

It was inevitable that, without needed change and reform, the War on Terror would swing back to America
It’s the march of capitalism and its reliance on hidden and then overt authoritarianism. We can see where this is going by looking at what we did to others, and so we must band together with them

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.
I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Comedians being recast as great truth tellers with some piercing insight into society is a neat piece of self-serving rhetoric that we’ve obligingly swallowed since Carlin. Unfortunately, some of the worst people you’ll ever meet in your life are good at getting a laugh- it’s not a mark of virtue.
