Someone must have clicked “I’m in this photo and I don’t like it”.

That’s like saying “He didn’t die from getting his head blown off he died because his blood circulation was interrupted for too long”.

Capitalism leads directly to inequality.

The same FBI that kicked the local PD off the investigation and told them they were taking over the investigation?

The abuser’s “look what you made me do” is so sickening.

Aaaah, I see

Idiocracy (2006)

That poor guy will never outlive that. It’ll be written on his tombstone.

Recent high-profile acquisitions include Jeff Bezos purchasing the Washington Post, Elon Musk buying Twitter (now X), and Patrick Soon-Shiong acquiring the Los Angeles Times. A billionaire consortium also bought significant stakes in The Economist.

In France, far-right billionaire Vincent Bolloré has transformed CNews into what critics call the French equivalent of Fox News. In the United Kingdom, three-quarters of newspaper circulation is controlled by just four wealthy families.

This is amazing. News and communication in the internet age was supposed to be democratised publication and agency to the voice of the average person, and it is to a small extent, but for the most part society was just like

Yea, and they will each pre-emptively go the extra mile to prove they are well within the boundaries of the in-group, which leads to extreme views and horrific actions. It’s a combination of low self-esteem, low IQ, and insecurity. This makes the in-group smaller and “purer” but also pulls centrists / non-principled people toward the ideology of the in-group.

Can’t believe how prescient this movie was. We’re on our way!

Yea, that’s right. To add: the argument that focuses on voters’ individual behavior ignores the system within which they make their choices i.e. gerrymandering, private political parties, FPTP, winner takes all, Citizens United, Super PACs etc. It is a very low-IQ take to place the blame solely on the voters, and those unelected, unaccountable people who design the rules of the system would like everyone to have that take.

Yea, that’s right.

It’s literally their job to lose.
