Apparition of Jack

People hate on Gandhi, Mandela, Mother Theresa etc because in our rabid, cynical, hyper-consumerist age, the idea of actual human benevolence feels threatening to us, so we go to great lengths to convince ourselves good people are actually bad people. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they didn’t do bad things, like someone else said all humans have a dark side. But the sheer amount of truth, goodness, love, compassion, altruism, kindness, healing, growth etc these figures brought to the world outweighs whatever racist thoughts or slightly perverted things they may have done. Gandhi alone saved MILLIONS of lives through avoiding a bloody insurrection against the British, as well as legitimised non-violence, reconciliation and humanist compassion as a legitimate force on the political world that still influences decision-making to this day. The man was a fucking saint, lmao.

Fucking LARPers.

Justice is coming. Thank GOD.

I’m confused, how is this poisoning your psyche? Could you elaborate a bit more? I’m curious about your perspective.

Elon Musk is a man deeply blind to his own biases who uses projection as a defence mechanism to avoid all blame or self-analysis. He accuses leftists of wanting violence, but then stokes “race war” narratives in Europe and elsewhere. He goes on interviews saying “the Democrats are supported by corrupt billionaires”, while… well, I don’t have to say it. He calls “woke” a mind virus whilst promoting the most low-conscious, ethnonationalist BS out there. In his head he seems to be some innocent, middle class “classical liberal” who is constantly persecuted by some nebulous all-powerful progressive elite, totally deluded to the fact he’s the richest man in human history, with the ear of the president, constantly pushing dangerous and corrupt rhetoric about political opponents and minorities. Just a very deluded man all round. It’s a mark against our civilisation that we let people like this rise to the heights he has.

Looking at the reactions a bit more, I still think it’s the right time to get rid of the aging establishment Dems and turn the party into a genuine, economically-progressive movement again. Whether this specific instance was the right move for the Dems or not I can’t quite say, but the fact that the Dems felt comfortable enough letting America getting into such a shitshow that people’s fucking HEALTHCARE payments are now going to be cut is proof enough that they’ve long since gone past their use-by date and we need some actual pro-worker energy in the country. Schumer and the rest need to go. They just don’t have the sauce to provide a meaningful resistance to Republican insanity as well as to provide an actual positive, humane vision for the future that isn’t just “desperately try and keep the current system afloat.” We deserve better.

On one hand, it’s basically a political win for the Republicans, because it lets them gut healthcare without offering anything in return. On the other hand, things like FAA workers not being able to direct flights was really messing with the country so the shutdown had to end at some point. Also, even though it’s coming to an end, the discourse has been around how bad the Republicans are on healthcare from what I’ve seen, so the damage is done. Thoughts? Did the Dems cave too early? Is it time to get rid of the old guard of Dem politicians who keep letting the Republicans ruin America, or was this agreement justified?

Leo uses the noob tube

What’s there to refute? You’re a conspiracy loon so lost in the sauce of cynical politicking and his own self-identity that you will poison the waters of any genuinely populist upswell in American politics. I bet you also think the AfD in Germany is a “centrist” party too, huh? 🤣

I stand by my previous statement.

@MightyMind Bro you have brainrot. Get off of conspiracy twitter.

Billionaires didnt fund Mamdani. The vibe shift is real. This plus the countless millions of Americans suffering under cut social services, inflation, tariff insanity, Republican chaos, lack of healthcare, rent insecurity, low wages, toxic environments, and countless other entirely-avoidable social woes means that people are finally starting to wake up. Don’t sell yourself short. Billionaires are not omnipotent. They’re not god-kings or masters. Ultimately the only thing that matters at the end of the day is truth, and the truth is that corporate greed and Republican arrogance are what brought us into this mess. The light will shine through.

Trump is going to get more desperate moving forward. The Republicans have lost control of the narrative and now the walls are going to start closing in. He’ll try to promise the world to voters one moment, then try to crack down hard and rage against any dissenters the next. Don’t let this distract you, the goal is to destroy the MAGA movement for good and ensure a humanist, pro-democracy Blue Wave in 2026/28. Democracy is being reborn.

I think now is when the real work begins. We’ve just achieved a major victory, but there’s going to be a major backlash from all the rotten corporate, nationalist, fascist etc interests that benefit from the status quo of fear and oppression. Basically, we can’t let up. We need MORE protests, MORE activism, MORE grassroots campaigns. Let people know what we stand for. Let people know there’s an alternative. Let people know this isn’t just the “way things are” and that there’s actually some hope in this world. More and more people are going to be convinced to turn on MAGA. Good. I believe now is not the time to reject anyone who may have supported Trump in the past but now sees him for what he is. The tides are turning, and our victory is in sight, but we have to keep fighting for it. We can’t let the authoritarians try and spin this as some sort of loss for America or democracy. Too much is at stake here. But we can do it. Let’s celebrate, take the massive moral W, gloat / sleep / freak out with hopium, then get right back to it. We’ve got a world to save.

MAMDATE OF HEAVEN LETS GOOOO 🔥 🔥 This is a good day for America and democracy worldwide. Finally some actual pushback against the rank corporate corruption that has been siphoning wealth from society for decades We have a long road ahead of us full of hard work and discipline, but for now, let’s reveal in the hopium ❤️ 🇺🇸 🗽🚩 🎆
