Content aside (not unmuting this shit) the whole phony setup - yeah we're just having a casual convo at your home over a pizza, see there's even a "messily" left on the table half eaten slice - oozes so much barely contained contempt for its audience it disqualifies anything said
In interview with @jmart, Josh Shapiro on AIPAC spending:
“I think it's been used cynically by some to try and silence certain voices, to try and say that certain people participating in politics shouldn't count or should be viewed in a toxic way….
“What you are seeing is not, ‘AIPAC money’ or however it was termed, but you're getting ‘the Jews who give to that candidate who also support AIPAC.’”
People need to calm down with these weepy shirt tearing eulogies of the internet. Yeah it used to be much better but at the end of the day it rests on a foundation of unspoken pervasive immense loneliness and in the last 10 years of so it cynically became a machine to monetise it
Disco Elysium wasn't about the politics actually ,not mainly; It's about how neither kindness nor inquiry can genuinely bring other into the "world" you live in and the tragic quiet loneliness of how inevitably approximate and clumsily reaching human connection is
@totalnewbie1 Utterly baffling people still give any credibility to NJR and the other remnants of the "Sanders Movement" "Alt media" specially since not only they seem to have learned nothing from the utter failure of that but are saying basically the exact same shit as the first time around
@totalnewbie1 The last point is extra pathetic because at this point you can't pretend liberal zionism is a "misinformed" position anymore; the past years at least have forced people to clearly assert their position and "liberal zionism" is clearly about status preservation in the status quo
Yeah it sucks tech bros are taking apart the already agonising internet but it's far more alarming it seemingly is so outside of the realm of possibility for people to build anything outside of it either "culturally" or "politically" the possibility isn't even ever brought up
@AuthorialGail It's droll how every other user on this site genuinely believes they're a hit tweet away from being crowned the new Stalin by the adoring masses but logging off is just too out there
