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.
They intelligently choose bigoted narratives that they perceive to be in their material/class interests. Unless you can provide a narrative reflecting the truth which benefits their perceived material interests in the short term they will always double down on willful ignorance. Save your energy for elsewhere.
