America is so fucking weak. All they’ve got is arm a proxy, wage trade war and fund increasingly ineffective propaganda. You can’t meme your way into revitalized productive forces.

It’s a game where you get dropped into a little toy solar system where each planet and celestial body has its own secrets and rules that govern how you interact with it. You progress by learning these things and piecing together a story that kind of makes you feel how small and powerless but still beautiful our time here is.

I’ve been a fan of that clip for a few years. So today I was looking for it and found out the entire stage play is on YouTube as well, with video. Finishing it up now. It rocks.

401k’s and such do function to mentally invest you in capitalism. My 45+ year old coworkers are obsessed with the stock market as their retirement accounts swing wildly by 80k from time to time and get mad at whatever they perceive as the cause. Occasionally it’s Musk or Bezos but equally as often it’s unions or any tiny bit of government spending that might actually do a sliver of good. It’s sad to watch.

Intimidating your geopolitical opponent with awkward AI generated images of soldiers. Allow me to inarticulately mumble about Guy Debord.

And then us old account havers get cancelled for having lawns! And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Dandelions 4 life! Unlimited weeds on the suburban world!

One of the financiers borrowed money against the studio to buy more of the studio in order to do a hostile takeover and pushed the original creatives out. There’s stuff about kurvitz being a toxic boss but the source is the business guy taking over the company and the rest of the core team don’t seem to be backing up the claim about kurvitz.

That was a really powerful revealing moment for anyone who didn’t already understand that democrats don’t solve crises, they merely weaponize the spectacle of the crisis to promote their level headed managerial aesthetic. If you have an attention span, aren’t completely in denial and care about actually solving the crisis you discover very quickly that they wield their newly earned power as little as possible against the crisis.

A lot of us think most people are communists in waiting but as people who actually believe in something we have seen just how powerful a nihilistic cultural identity that opposes communism is and how giving people the right information does nothing because they have a lifetime trained immune response to these specific ideas. It’s infuriating that liberals think their tepid “information” and a pity hug would effortlessly bring conservatives to their values neutral Jesus

The ghouls in charge would probably just shrug and say Gaza isn’t a country. Rules are just made up to justify libs doing what they were already determined to do.

I don’t feel a shred of sympathy for them but it is funny that they’re excited about their home values going up when it means they’re paying like $300 more a month in taxes… and if they sell and buy a new home the “gains” in their home value are instantly wiped out by the inflated price of their new home. The system isn’t really working for them either but stock market brain prevents them from understanding this.

Also the Graham linehan jumpscares are unpleasant

About ten years ago I was obsessed with everything involving Chris Morris. The Day Today and Jam were also incredible… but if I remember correctly it was at times a little internet edge Lordy. I want to believe it was actually skeweing edge Lordiness but I don’t know.

Silently but visibly mouthing “can anyone hear me” until someone younger tells me to unmute myself even though this is my 500th zoom call

Area 51 gun game at the bowling alley in my grandparents small town. During regular life our home consoles were the star (didn’t have to beg adults for spare change) but when we were stuck at that smoky bowling alley waiting got the adults to get tired that was the best time waster.

Libs don’t crave that message. They believe violence is wrong no matter what and that being a victim is synonymous with being a hero. Dying to protect your family wipes away all sins in the liberal mind. Libs want to preach civility when someone acts rationally against the enemy they’ve said is an existential threat to their democracy. They joke that he can’t be trusted with the nuclear codes which if taken seriously means they’re suggesting he’d wipe cities off the face of the earth but they still think the future of millions of people in whatever cities he would target must only be decided by a vote in November. They will talk up January 6 and insist the enemy will take power by any underhanded means but then handicap themselves with high minded values. Let the whole world go down with the ship if it means they upheld their philosophical values.

We can give Dems more potent words, like all the left academia terms they absorbed and disarmed on the summer of 2020. This is what happens when we trying to win the spectacle on their terms; be it “the news” or social media. Those mediums are totalized by capital and cannot be won by an anti capitalist faction.

Not sure what the winning play is but I think it necessarily is some kind of sustained direct action that creates friction in a world of frictionless spectacle. Some sort of denial of treats and entertainment or easily digested narratives… it has to be totally divorced from the forces that determine success in the spectacle. Whatever it is, it will be incredibly unpopular due to the disruption, it will probably be illegal or be later made illegal by reactionaries… so it can’t be planned online.

(lol I got into a little bit of a rant mode. This is not intended to be overly confrontational, libs are just so damn disappointing.)
