El P and Open Mike Eagle are like the better written versions of my own internal monologue
Life is easier when you don’t take sides
No it isn’t
101·2 months agoWe have had and currently have some incredible authors artists and musicians who make beautiful and brilliant things that reflect the spirit of the average American far better than the handful monsters who have power over us
That’s not to say other countries don’t also have fascinating and ingenious creators and cultures too, just saying that ours are the thing I like most about my country
Let’s not ignore all the efforts Republican governments have put into making it much more difficult for certain communities to vote
And, like, is taking good media hosted on shitty sites and rehosting it on a better one supposed to be a bad thing?
Getting people to talk about the headline is going to be really difficult, like… Damn, I wish I had some kind of metaphor or idiom for this situation
25·3 months agoIt gets even worse, the federal government now only accepts applications for asylum through a mobile app
You know you can delete your posts, right? You could spare us your idiocy if you were actually sorry for it.
I don’t think we’re the only land of hypocrisy out there (like, listen to Russia talk about how they’re the real protectors of human rights, or China say other countries are threatening their national security, or Mexico complain about cartel violence while letting their police do whatever they want, or Israel do so much shit I don’t know where to start), but, yeah, a lot of us are brainwashed as hell, and our government is completely full of shit whenever it’s scolding anyone else about human rights, international law, the climate, etc.
i find it beyond funny that we support israel because ‘they were there first’, but if you mention that maybe the american indians should rise up and take their country back you get very different responses.
Yep, and also the fact that there’s such a vocal anti-migrant movement here after almost all of our ancestors in immigrated here is completely absurd
Yeah, actually that’s a really important point, plus between the insane amounts of essentially anonymous propaganda that’s been unleashed on us through Citizens United and all the state government voter suppression laws that were allowed by Shelby County we’ve really only been a quasi-democratic society at best for most of this. Americans aren’t uniquely terrible people compared to the citizens of any other country, we’ve just got some incredibly shitty rich people who ran the table on political power.
e; forgot to rest of my thought
Hard disagree, Republicans wouldn’t do so much voter suppression bullshit if it didn’t have any effect. People who don’t vote are almost always being oppressed in a variety of different ways.
And this isn’t even the first clown shitshow of a government we’ve voted in this century
I don’t think they really wanted a sequel to that movie, I think they were just saying it teased a bunch of interesting stuff in its trailer but then never actually did any of that stuff in its plot, probably because the producers wanted to make everyone buy a ticket to a Battle Angel sequel that never happened, which is just another facet of how the film industry’s obsession with sequels and fictional universes is leading to the downward spiral they talk about in their other comment
It honestly feels like this post was put together by an LLM that just saw the word “sequel” in two different sentences but didn’t have any ability to read context and just figured it must be ironic
Pretty sure you can listen to most radio stations online from anywhere
100%, I found Silver Jews American Water years ago and listened to it a million times but then kind forgot about them, and only found out about this project after seeing a news article along the lines of “former lead singer of Silver Jews kills himself, he’d recently released a solo album that in hindsight looks like an incredibly obvious cry for help, he was friends with the guys in Pavement and other more famous and well adjusted people, etc.”
Incredibly so, sometimes I almost feel weird for sharing it because it is such a black pill of an album, but it’s just such a perfect encapsulation of long term depression and beautiful and fucking funny, I can’t help but adore it
Nights That Won’t Happen by Purple Mountains
If it needs to be instrumental, the Disco Elysium soundtrack by British Sea Power is pretty excellent (though it goes through a bit of an emotional spectrum beyond malaise imo)
Also, if we had imprisoned everyone involved and seized all their assets Donald Trump probably doesn’t win in 2016
