I don’t know what’s possessed me to rant rn. Probably talking to a family member about a book they’re listening to by the guy who made the adhd Ted talk (the first one you’ll find searching on youtube, I think).
How does it keep going in circles and circles all the goddamn time. Democrats this, Republicans that, “oh I’m somewhere inbetween,” guberment, etc. It’s like a fucking teacup ride. Going around and around in so many layering circles that it just drives me mad. Maybe once or twice it’s fun to go around but after so many years I just want off.
I get why people don’t want to fight a revolution, I don’t either, but FUCK, are people just stupid? How is it so fundamentally impossible for them to view anything outside of their narrow americunt worldview. It’s exhausting, it’s tiring, i can’t keep fucking doing this.
generally speaking when people are presented a set of options (or a pair) they discuses the options presented not the ones not presented, just how the brain works, people talk about whats in their minds, about what others are talking about, about what the media they consume is talking about.
Personally i would recommend disengaging politically with people who are already disengaged from what u are saying, like just dont talk politics with people wgo are clearly not interested in changing their minds, if they bring up politics switch the topic or redirect it to something u care about and they could be moved on like specific policies.
