    Yeah I know this but I’m also less forgiving of people falling for propaganda now. Maybe I’m just mentally exhausted.

    Like with my friends when capitalism comes up and they say the problem is late stage capitalism and not capitalism… Like give me a break. This is not a serious discussion. Climate change is the result of capitalism. A human extinction level threat is because of capitalism and we’re still debating whether capitalism is the correct system. And this is just one example. On the relevant topic, the Dems actions have directly led to the current political environment in the US. How are people still praising them for a nothing act. Give me a break. I’m not a misanthrope. I don’t believe humanity is inherently evil or destined for failure. That’s liberal talk but it is super frustrating when capital has such complete control of the information and narrative and people don’t have slightest mental pushback. In the case of Booker’s speech the only response should be to tell Democrats to fuck off. Start a third party and if you can’t get power take solace in the fact that the Republicans will take apart the American genocide machine due to their insatiable greed.
