I think a whole lot of people who thought the media was making mountains out molehills regarding Trump’s behavior saw firsthand just how impulsive, narcissistic and juvenile it really is.

OMG, this made me laugh so hard.  Thank you!!

Missed this moment too.

I noticed. But I didn't remark about it to anyone. Everyone already knows that he is a racist. Anyone who doesn't see that is also a racist. 

“I ended it because a lot of people were complaining.”

An irony here is that calling this sort of training “anti-American” reinforces the point that “American” values in the traditionalist sense these people mean them are, indeed, founded upon racism and white privilege.

Symptom not the disease.

strangely, it appears that some people who agree with trumps policies (?!) are starting to find his presentation so off-putting that they are considering voting for biden.

True. And even if we are able to get him out of the White House the disease he represents remains. We can’t just push it back under the rock it was living under. It’s going to take a lot of work from a lot of people to cure this illness. I’m in to do the work.

Well sure. I’m not necessarily bagging on all of IG or even influencers in general. I don’t really care how they make their money or how much. It’s just absurd to me that this is the reality we are living in and it’s like “oh, this is fiiiiine, there’s no reason for regulation of capitalism because it will work

“Influencer culture” was always going to be the next logical step of the Reality TV era. I never really got swept up by any of the popular reality shows, but it became obvious to me just how pervasive the format was when a friend’s band was featured on a reality show about low-level MMA fighters. It aired on one of

I know any time you question the ridiculous excesses of late stage capitalism (post modern capitalism at this point) you get labelled a socialist who wants Stalin-style gulags and collectivization, but how can you read something like this and not laugh your ass off at the absurdity of this economic system?

That’s not what I said. I will reiterate, as you seem to have missed it: I am not a royalist. Re: atrocities committed by the royals, well, historically, they seem to have committed them mostly against each other, which, okay, is no excuse. And you can always dredge up the possible murder of Diana if you are feeling
