I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality
Antivaxers, cranks and fantasists thrive in safe, stable societies but the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending

What if the “crisis of masculinity” is really a bunch of men with a skill issue; and instead of turning inward and unfucking themselves, found it easier to just hate women specifically, and society more broadly? And in so doing they found a community of fellow dipshits?

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

I believe many people on "the left" need to do some self-reflection among those who treat ideological purity as more important than coalition building. We cannot be policing our allies when we must be confronting our enemies. And our enemies are clear. They are inside the gates.

I kinda hate how our phones and technology have almost forced this burden on us needing to be “available” for others. Miss the days you left your house and whatever happened wouldn’t be your concern until you got home and turned on the answering machine

Although I am aware I’ve been doom posting (perhaps we will one day call it prescient warning posting), I will say that I have a weird brain because in times where the scale of the catastrophe is so universal and impersonal, I get a lot less depressed than when I feel I am the only one suffering.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.
There’s not.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.
