  • Imagine not voting for the black lady because she has to prove herself worthy while a criminal senile pedophile can go on insane demented rants for a year and win by default.

    There’s a lot of cope happening in America, and everyone is pointing fingers, but the fact is 2/3 of the electorate either voted for fascism or didn’t bother to vote against it.

    But go ahead and blame everyone and everything other than the fact that American culture is fundamentally rotten and most people either want fascism or at least don’t care about whether it happens.






  • The best selling comic book of all time was X-Men #1. No it’s not the first X-Men comic from the 1970s, it was a comic Marvel released in the 90s. The collectors all bought it because it was a #1 thinking it would be worth a lot of money some day. And this is exactly why Marvel did this.

    Right now there’s probably at least a million copies of that comic preserved in mint condition by collectors. It’s worth about what they paid for it in the 90s… because there’s so many out there.





  • Accomplish stuff? Look up how many seats the respective parties have. The democrats aren’t capable of accomplishing anything, but they might be able to prevent the Republicans from taking away a few things.

    You gotta get out of the mindset that the Democrats are the government. They are not. They can push a little by shutting down the government, but a majority of Americans did vote for the Republicans to be in power. The Schumer doesn’t have a mandate to do anything, just a very narrow area where he can make a case that while Americans voted Republican they didn’t vote for what little healthcare they have to be taken away.

    Also having the voters make the final decision on whether healthcare should be taken away wouldn’t be a bad thing.

    It’s sad that Americans on both the left and right seem to hate democracy now.


  • Older generations gained their experiences in a monoculture, so maybe it kinda worked in the past. But with social media becoming a dominant force in culture, there is no longer any monoculture. A Gen Z person brainwashed by the “manoshpere” internet culture has a completely different way of understanding the world from someone brainwashed by the “leftist” internet culture.

    Also older generations aren’t exactly frozen in time. When I was a teenager I laughed at the jokes at the end of Ace Ventura. In the decades since I learned some things and one of the things I learned was that trans people are people and those jokes were really mean. Others may not have learned that. Social media has caused algorithmic divisions in all generations, so thinking of things in terms of “this generation thinks this way and that generation thinks that way” is completely false. It’s just a way to make someone in Gen Z think “the other generations don’t think the way my generation does” which compartmentalizes people into left wing Gen Z vs. right wing Gen Z AND right wing millennials AND right wing boomers.

    Kinda ironic that Gen X, the generation that first used the internet and watched all of it go down a dark path, is just being ignored completely in all of this.
