Gang of Four are underrated for sure.

Ever listen (or see) to the Urgh concert series soundtrack? So many bangers.

I could totally chug a spacebag while listening to Echo & The Bunnymen.

Classic Joe.

Good thing we all and keep out the really bad people.

This was my literal first thought.

Seagulls gonna come.

Poke him in the coconut.

I make more money than ever and it hasn’t stopped my leftist ideals. If anything, it’s only emboldened my resolve.

But here’s the straight dope: I live a very isolated life. My friends lower on the economic totempole see me differently. Not necessarily negatively, but I noticed as I “made it” that relations started to change. I’ve had a buddy of mine confide in me that he feels embarrassed to hang out because he’s been so unsuccessful. I suspect my other working-class friends feel similarly.

And because I can’t relate to the Libshits around me at work and in the burbs, I have like maybe 2 friends I can sort of hang with and even then, their bad takes on the world are incredible. Meanwhile I’m constantly minding my “financial freedom” in paying bills, saving for college, figuring out taxes, figuring out insurance… which is fucking exhausting. Tangent: I’d rather have money than not have money in this hellscape (who wouldn’t) but minding your shit after a certain level of income is basically another fucking job.

So yeah. Wife and I made it (whatver bullshit that means) and I might as well go live on an island. Which only proves to me how atomized we really are. If I had no money I’d strive for financial stability and have that consume my thoughts and motivations. Now I have money and the parts of life that matter most (friendship, piece of mind, personal fulfillment, etc) are unobtainable.

Which only makes me more of a Leftist.

I’m too old for this shit.

Good post.

This is a bit, right?

In a whisper say, “I have explosive diarrhea.”

No one will question you the next day when you’re back at work acting mostly normal.

Woke activist cops ruined Pride Month for law-loving and -abiding citizens by inserting coded hate slur into their logo.

I wish the 8 was a B.

“I had a bad experience online.”

It really has been that simple for me. No one questions it.

Oh. I know their takes on Putin. But fewer dead people is fewer dead people. It’s their logic, not mine.

But at what cost to the global market?!

This is amazing. The mental gymnastics necessary is mind boggling.

Let’s say Trump and Biden are equally terrible for Palestinians but Trump rolls out a plan to pull out of Ukraine. Using the logic above, shouldn’t all Dems vote for Trump since he’s quantifiably less terrible?

LOL. What fucking losers. It takes no effort to realize all sides are bad and we’re all fucked. Just own it. You can even still be a shitlib like my mom. Just realize it’s 100% bullshit.

“In Congress, @LatimerforNY will protect abortion rights, stand up to the NRA, and fight for President Biden’s agenda — just like he’s always done.”

Your Kween has spoken.

But at what cost to the global market?
