  • Thats the catch 22 of America, its “good” except when its not, and like 60% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from it being “not” - And once you’re there this country hates you and does everything it can to make sure you stay fucked.

    See: SCOTUS ruling the other day that you can’t illegalize homelessness but you CAN illegalize homeless behaviors like sleeping outside or in a tent.

    (Because since pot is increasingly legal we have to bolster those legal slavery numbers somehow!)


















  • In line with this, there’s also an immense left-to-far-right pipeline in media simply because the left will hold you accountable even if you agree with them but the right doesn’t give a fuck as long as you say the thing.

    I listened to a podcast about one such author. I forget what about but she wrote a book based on IIRC a flawed interpretation of whatever subject leading the whole thing to be basically wrong.

    People pointed out it wrong, sales plummet, author gets butthurt and defensive, now they’re playing the antivax circuit I believe it was.

    (Sorry, the podcast was background noise for powerwash simulator so I don’t remember specifics lol)
