Ask yourself why the people one paycheck from disaster are often the most ferocious defenders of the system that put them one paycheck from disaster.
It's not irrational.
It's the last available source of dignity.
If the system is fundamentally broken, fundamentally rigged, fundamentally indifferent to whether you live or die, then the years you spent believing in it, working within it, sacrificing for it, were wasted.
Worse than wasted.
They were the actions of someone who didn't see what was obvious.
That is a very hard thing for a person to accept about their own life.
It is easier, psychologically, emotionally, in every way that matters in the moment, to defend the system than to accept that you gave decades of your life to something that was never going to give anything back.
The defense isn't about the system.
It's about not having to grieve your own time.
The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels.
They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF."
They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House.
Trump voters who aren't millionaires don't realize they're supporting a gang of criminals who are openly screwing them and their families. Tragic.
- 745k are homeless in the US
- medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy
- over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck
- bottom 80% of Americans have just 7% of the wealth
Yet this criminal is now a trillionaire. We’re a failed country.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.
According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:
“These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”
Hasan Piker on Randy Fine: “I think he needs to get on Ozempic. Actually, I think he should keep eating. Let’s see how far this goes. He’s basically Israel the person. He’s just constantly expanding into territory he has no right being inside of”

Me: "Trump wouldn't have allowed little Patrick Bet-David into this country..no Iranians were allowed in this year..How do you feel about that?"
@patrickbetdavid: "You are so funny..I would have found a way to get in."
Me: "You would have come in illegally?"

House Armed Services Committee REJECTS Ro Khanna’s Amendment to REMOVE Section 224 from the NDAA
I’m sharing the whole clip so you all can see for yourselves that these Israel Lobby bought lawmakers DID NOT LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WE DO NOT WANT TIES WITH ISRAEL.
Why do you remember the image of one man in front of a tank, but forget the bodies of thousands crushed under American bombs?
Because the first image serves power.
And the second indicts it.
The Tank Man image is so powerful that most people believe tanks crushed protesters at Tiananmen.
They didn't. The tanks stopped for Tank Man. He lived.
The Israeli bulldozer did not stop for Rachel Corrie.
She was 23.
She was American.
She was wearing an orange vest.
She died on March 16, 2003.
Marco has never posted about March 16.
Hasan Piker: “People still get mad at me when I say these motherfuckers are Nazis. They are. Just because they’re Jewish doesn’t change that dynamic. Israel’s a Nazi country. It’s just objectively true. People cannot fight back against this assertion that is born out of truthful analysis of the facts represented by Israel’s actions so they just go you’re an antisemite, shut the fuck up”

“Are you with the Republican Party? Are you talking about morality and corruption with President Trump?”
