    People should be realizing it’s all been bullshit. They don’t care about us.

    It’s all the same game, left, right, business, drug dealing, street life and mainstream life… It’s all the same game, getting “mine” and fucking all other lives over until you do.

    They are never going to help you and if they say they will it’s not genuine.

    Except Bernie.

      They literally

      cannot

      do

      anything

      because we voted them out of power, you colossal morons.

        Wrong. They can obstruct congress. Call for quorums and demand full roll calls in the Senate. The might even get the chance to filibuster a bill or two. They can use every precious second of time on the floor to drag the Republicans to a grinding halt. You know, all that stuff the Republicans did during Obama’s presidency. At the very least they could come up with an idea that’s not, ‘Trump is fascist, don’t vote for fascists’ cause that’s obviously not working. There’s still a lot the Democrats can do and saying they can’t because they’re not the majority shows your colossal lack of civic engagement and education. Democrats could pressure federal judges to put injunctions on Trump’s executive orders that go directly against the Constitution.

        The Democrats had a year and a half to prepare for this contingency and they were so convinced that they couldn’t possibly lose that they literally didn’t think a plan for if they lost was necessary. Now they’re saying we’re powerless and it’s not their fault. Yeah it’s not the Democrats fault Trump is back in power, but it’s their problem. They just won’t do anything because their elite donors don’t want them to.

      The Democrats and Republicans only purpose is to protect the capitalist class. The GOP is going too hard in the wrong direction will will hopefully upset the working class to invoke real change. Any day now…

        Exactly. But what’s weird is most people that I know that used to be pro freedom are now backing trump. Like I mean drug dealers and stuff. Real authentic sovereign people. It makes me wonder if power from above came down and started manipulating the “gangs”… Maybe extorting criminals as a way to create false support for the current admin.

        Blue collars love him but at the same time the same blue collars around me that love him are also criminals.

        I don’t get why he has such a backing from “criminals”… Like these people were making money anyway… Why start sucking some old white cunts dick? It doesn’t make sense to me.

        Essentially I guess it’s a reminder people don’t give a single fuck about humanity. Honestly it’s like humanity as a whole is an entity of evil.

        The same people that influence and create terrorist ask why someone just bombed their people… The same people creating the terrorists have poor people go fight the “terrorists” for them.

        Isn’t it kind of becoming true that the terrorists have actually been right? We as the modern humans are actually the slave masters and the evil of the human race?

        America already has homeland suicide bombers, and it plays them out as isis. It’s wild. We are like a third world country… That’s playing pretend. It’s like USA is a nation of uptight assholes pretending they aren’t the enemy of humanity.

      People should, but you’ll still see die-hard shitlibs in comments sections on .world defending the Democratic party, defending the Harris/Walz campaign, and blaming anyone to their left for their defeat. 45% of the Democratic party think the problem is that they haven’t moved far right enough, and the concept of a third party is still met with constant derision.

      I honestly no longer think Americans will ever get out of this. I don’t think most of them even want to. It seems like the average American doesn’t want democracy.

        Lots of people have been brainwashed to not want democracy. They want a 2 team system because it gives them the good feelings of 'im better than the other guys" regardless of how factually true that is. And when there is an other guy that they explicitly aren’t better than, like a third party candidate, its all kinds of rationalization as to why actually its better to choose the shittier option because otherwise you might get the feally shitty option. As opposed to just not choosing a shitty option.

          This is a rational choice in a first past the post voting system with two major parties.

          The structure of our elections essentially guarantees this outcome regardless of the voters.

        For real. It’s dead.

        It’s wild from my perspective. It’s dead as fuck.

        The population really was indoctrinated to be passive servants of evil. Marketing… Capitalism…

        It’s wild. Even hip-hop went dogshit. It used to be a culture about the people and it nows it’s been raped by the same old bullshit. It’s either left, right, or street which isn’t any different then left or right anymore., it’s just bitch men raping lives sucking all they can out of innocent people like the ceos or politicians. No one is living for humanity.

        It really is people who love humanity vs people that want to control humanity. And it’s world wide. Nations and organizations or businesses can be disregarded in this war. It’s far bigger than that. Even the dumb Nazi shit is just a blip on the map of the evil humanity is against. All these people get power from the same source… Their need of ego, power, influence, and money.

        USA already has suicide bombers but they blame it on isis, or other groups. I saw someone put it right, “America is a third world with guchi belt.”

        Poor people and minorities already know what’s up. Immortal technique had it right,

        "I laugh at America’s fears

        Of a new world order controlin’ the hemisphere,

        Because my people have been livin’ that

        for the past 500 years."

        This war isn’t new for many of us. It’s everyday life.

      A huge percentage of the problem is what people think is left.

      https://politicalcompass.org/uselection2016

      Hilary was right of Trump, just less authoritarian. The whole caravan spectacle was basically fallout of her time as secretary of state under Obama.

      Liberalism coopted equality from socialism. Rainbow capitalism will underpay and shrinkflate all the poors equally in the name of the shareholders.

      Conservatism coopted a man being entitled to the sweat of his brow. Profit is what’s left over after reinvesting in the business and wages. Every cut corner of quality and penny of retirement savings denied is more riches for the ruling class. Workers eagerly defend their bosses entitlement to the sweat of their brow.

      Media plays the masses that deserve both against itself.

        You should check out some Adam Curtis Documentary.

        The century of self; It’s about frueds cousin understanding psychology and starting the type of marketing we see today and how it’s gained traction in politics and government.

        The Trap; I haven’t finished it. But it seems on point. its been awhile but I believe this one is more about geopolitics. Proxy wars and stuff like that. Manipulating other countries for our (us) profiting.

        Hyper normalization was good as well. i dont think it was the main plot or talking point but it mentions Trump’s tactics in NYC in the 70s. Buying up the poor and selling to the rich.

        There’s a channel on YouTube that has all them for free. I think it’s official.
