I don’t. I’ve been over the “funny” government for a long while. I want the serious government back. The one where infinite distractions for infinite misconduct destroying my sanity isn’t a concern. Yeah. I can’t even joke about this anymore, until I hit an even greater level of despair and disillusionment in like two months
I dont know how people can get so upset about this. The world is a joke now, if people didnt want that they shouldve done something about it like 10 years ago. Now its too late and only now do i see people complaining. Its absolutely wild to me, because im well past the point of legitimately caring. I can only see my country bomb civilians so many times without anyone stopping it. My empathy and ability to gauge conflict is just gone, spent over a decade ago fighting the good fight and seeing no progress. Now none of it matters because the rich won, and no one did anything to stop them.

I think it’s the old Absurdism vs. Idealism conflict: the former embraces the absurdity of life and focuses on the things we can do to enjoy it, while the latter pursues ideals and gets appropriately upset at a reality that falls short. Realism spoils both sports by taking reality seriously on one hand, on the other compromising grand ideals for short-term measures to deal with reality as it is.
Most people sit somewhere in between, because we don’t have the time or energy to devote to philosophical purity, too busy paying bills to pay attention.
It’s not up to us, it’s up to the bribes mega donors keeping people in power. We have relatively little power in this lopsided representative democracy as expendable individuals, unless we manually enact spontaneous change with tremendous funds or decent aim. Forces far larger than either of us are acting upon the world in a way that we couldn’t hope to prevent or upend. That’s just the economic and political system we currently have. Money enacts change. Fox News et al alter perceptions. We live in hell.
I like that Hegseth, a known drunk who invited a reporter into a secret military chat, is unable to understand how mirrors work.

And Capitalism laughs its way to the bank.

Don’t insult dogs like that.
I’ll give him botfly at best.
Fucking mirrors… how do they work?! --Hegseth Clown Posse
The light goes in, the light comes back out! No-one can explain it!
“Nobody knows how mirrors work. Try putting some water over it and see what happens” … The Orange wisdom, probably.
