Ah yes, economic anxiety. That's why racism and misogyny.

Trump already killed millions during COVID. Remember when a deadly disease broke out, killing millions, and the Republican stance was both "It doesn't exist." and "China did it."?

Literally a global pandemic and these people can't even focus on a solution.

It was 5 years ago.

I'd recommend assassination, in Minecraft. If you're leaving the server and everything is fucked then do one for the team and cause some heads to roll, in Minecraft. The right used violence and it led to the presidency. A coup was rewarded. Let's take some notes.

Sorry I prefer a more syndicalist political lifestyle where we are the government. "The people should not be afraid of the people, the people should be afraid of the people." breaks my brain.

Reminds me of the aesthetics on toys/candy from other countries, but much more polished.

Epstein appears trustworthy on this, for I agree with what he is saying.

If he were saying something I disagree with, I would point out that he's very untrustworthy.

Look at the sports with systemic ad presence vs sports where it's all "grass roots." (The grass roots ones are mostly gone.)

Most top sports are incredibly expensive to keep running and the ones that become infested with ads are the ones that stick around for us to enjoy. If you follow less popular sports you'll consider yourself lucky to bring in ads and sponsors.

Just curious, has everyone caught up yet? As in, have we realized and internalized that religious people don't believe in god or heaven or anything like that?

Because just look at at-risk individuals and think about how certain contexts can shape numerous people.

Look at trauma and how it affects the psyche.

Look at how humans living in extraordinary environments radically change their behavior.

And then notice how you can't detect any "god" or "afterlife" in a Christians psyche, or their behavior, or their flock. Just people acting similarly to everyone else, except we don't pretend to have "the answer to life is god" and "being bad means burning in hell for infinity." It's so god damn obvious but to be fair it took around 30 years for me to "grok" that Christians are operating entirely on aesthetics.

I think in a way it's like quantization which is lossy compression

Yes but government is ultimately good and does much good. Our politicians are mostly good (there's 500,000+) because it's people like us standing up to work policy. The idea that our government is innately bad and that it's just bad people doing bad things is so tiring.
