The reason everything seems so fake is because the working-class has been squeezed out of the music business, journalism, TV and movie production.
Some interesting introspection from Rick Beato.
Why Only Rich Kids Make It In Music Today
why does US media keep treating these “sanctions” as if they are a law Venezuela is “circumventing”. Venezuela is understandably evading US piracy. There’s nothing sinister about it, it’s just an assertion by Trump. US officials “evade” Chinese sanctions dozens of times a day.
The year is 2028
The unemployment rate is 99.7%
You receive your $700 universal basic income from the government
You have 3 days to gamble it on a prediction market to make your $2,800/mo rent on a studio apartment 70 miles outside Tulsa, Oklahoma
If you can’t quadruple the money, the government seizes your clothes and send you to be on Season 9 of Beast Games
The loser of the season is hunted alive by the elites for sport, live streamed on TikTok
This whole thing from start to finish is utterly incredible.
The endless complaints that people see a lot of videos of "carnage" are never accompanied with the obvious solution: end the carnage.
Instead we must end the videos and even pull back on Holocaust education because it teaches kids to support victims of violence at the hands of aggressors. Absolute insanity on full display.
Computer programmers don't know this because of the extreme poverty of STEM education, but science has absolutely no idea why consciousness exists or how animal brains work. Only the most shameless mountebanks can pass off statements like this with such ignorant confidence.
The State Dept stenographers at 60 Minutes are attempting to normalize US state terrorism and the assassination of Nicolas Maduro
Their justification is Maduro's designation as the leader of a cartel created in the 1990's by the CIA which no longer exists
.@sethharpesq describes how for many years, the largest drug cartel in the world was not in Mexico, but run out of the U.S. client state in Afghanistan with direct funding from the Pentagon. https://t.co/bwGHKfZh4t
Crazy that Obama, Hillary, the NYT, Darren Aronofsky, Time magazine all puffed up Greta Thunberg when they thought she’d settle into a life of Aspen institute panels and Pepsi-style gen z NGO activism but she instead went beastmode on Gaza and now they act like she never existed
Watching this Flotilla face down the realistic threat of death, and watching supposed human rights European liberals waffle and fold and abandon them for more Strongly Worded Statements and handwringing has exposed the total depravity and moral emptiness of western institutions
"Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them."

Mahmoud Khalil was thrown in prison for 3 months for protesting Gaza and the day ABC pulled Kimmel off the air (for two eps!) a judge upheld Khalil’s deportation. Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped off the street and imprisoned for writing an op-ed on Gaza. I feel like I’m going insane
