  • Idk, it’s mostly just knowing about Heaven’s Gate and their idiosyncratic pop culture use, with abit of internet slang. It’s just three layers of pop culture, and one layer of UFO death cult culture. I guess I’m so used to it I barely even register it as sub-text. Yikes.

    But also, haven’t read this one before! Yet another fascinating BMF point, though one I have heard expressed before.






  • Motherfucker, it is hard enough to work and go to school. I don’t have to build a fucking governing vision for people, as if Republicans or Democrats actually do that. All I ever ask for these days is some basic fucking stuff, like idk, stop giving weapons to aparthied governments to kill brown people? And you think you can combat the totalitarian privatized neoliberal system of government through votes?

    The net cost of running electoral campaigns at a national or even state level is absolutely staggering, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, even for online advertising space. For me 25000 dollars would be a game changer, hell even a thousand dollars would improve my life significantly, millions is out of the question. And this is besides the point that organic online viral campaigns do not have a real statistical affect on American electoral politics, because all the places that used to cater towards that have been astroturfed all to hell. Reddit is basically bot-farmed for foreign affairs. The biggest online organic movement is literally Palestine, and the government reaction has been to BAN TIKTOK. You are acting like it’s a level playing field. It is not. We are at a large, intentional, systemic disadvantage, and we don’t even have the money to get the ball rolling in the right direction. Mostly we just piss people off who can only hear rhetoric, which, while funny, doesn’t actually do anything.

    There are no ‘populists’ you utterly contemptible moron. There are liars for capital and that is it. Stop lecturing me on things you don’t even have a basic grasp on.
