It's like saying, Crashing my car into the tree is just what my life needs right now.

Here is your corrupt health messiah at work: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/11/rfk-super-pac-fundraiser-health-human-services/

It's so stupid it's stunning.

Psychedelics are not going to heal a disorder. That is an absurd thing to expect.

Of course TechBros don't wanna be regulated. They are all libertarians because that's what serves their power and wealth. What is sick is that they sell out democracy to a fascist for more wealth which they do not even need. This is literally elitist corruption happening live on Rogan's show, and no one sees it for what it is because they are so brainwashed to hate wokes.

NATO is certainly part of that. Putin doesn't want to lose Ukraine to NATO and EU both. That's like losing your girlfriend to two dudes.

It's just an excuse to contain Russia. The real goal is not minerals it's to bleed Russia dry of military resources. The minerals are just the cherry on top.

Nothing is so simple. Society is always gradually creeping forward, but there are setbacks and there is rot and stagnation. And there are avalanches thar spur on major reform. And you should also factor in the media ecosystem. Media trends and ideologies dejour play a huge role in shaping how people vote. With all these cross-currents are play it's impossible to predict elections consistently.

Endorsing Trump is one thing, buying an election is another.

A lot changed. He went from Twitter shitposting to spending $100M+ and personally campaigning with Trump.

1) You still don't understand Musk's perspective and worldview. 2) Musk has become a lot worse since then. His decent into Trumpism has been rapid and recent. Full douchebag oligarch mode is a new development. You guys act surprised when I update my views based on major new developments. That's not a mistake. There is a point at which calling someone a douchbag oligarch is jumping to conclusions, and a point at which it is not. Musk crossed that point a couple months ago. I did underestimate how low he would ultimately go. It's one thing to just be a jackass on Twitter, it's another thing to blantantly buy an election.

Yes

Just stories from deluded people that you believe.

It's a job technical minds, not the average Joe.

Yes. What I found is that most healers are deeply deluded people.

You can start by subscribing to some newspaper with actual journalists, like the New York Times or Washington Post and read a few of their articles per week. Do that for a few years and you will learn a lot. Understanding politics requires following the news for years. Slowly you learn.

Art, engineering, programming, teaching, research. These are some options. Of course any of them can get corrupted.

1) Any popular person who claims to care about truth should be immediately doubted. 2) You don't make $100M by caring about truth. 3) Certainly no marketing person cares about truth.

Realistically the only way real progress happens in government is through massive suffering and disaster. Because voters are reactionary. They need some pain to react against. Because they cannot think ahead.

No. They are lost in culture wars, vibes, and ideology.

Most Americans have the attention span of squirrels.

You are never getting rid of lobbyists. If you insist on being too pure you will just lose elections and never get power. Power requires being dirty.

Dems lose, Repubs lose. That's the game. It's silly to expect to always beat Repubs because half the country is conservative. Going with a TYT progressive is a very risky strategy.

And you should expect that to continue. Any attempt to fix serious corruption will be sabotaged from every angle. That is the game.
