capitalist extraction and exploitation is a zero-sum game in which the elites cheat. when that line goes up, it means the rich have taken from the poor. when it goes down, the rich recover from the brief stumble by taking from poor. that line is only ever bad news for us.
when enormous companies like those in the s&p perform well, it is by doing things like price-gouging customers and stealing wages and labor from employees. which is to say: not only does “line go up” mean nothing good for the average person, it actively means *bad*

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets
Hmm... all art under capitalism gets subsumed into the spectacle and any criticism of the hegemon is rendered neutral by the mollifying power of entertainment. However, I think we can get our way out of this by making the right kind of mollifying entertainment.

it's sad really the democrats have perfected a genocidally cruel platform disguised by a thin veneer wonky and sympathetic rhetoric. meanwhile the voters they want are fully incapable of peeling back the paper thin rhetoric.
This isn't an exaggeration.
She's literally saying that she understands why people don't want to support a genocide, but that she DOES support the genocide, and if you want minimally decent domestic policy, you're going to have to support the genocide too.
@murderxbryan so there's a theory that this is intentional to try to bump the ring boy lawsuit down the google ranks if you google "wwe grooming", and I kinda buy it
