I'm re-watching the @stimulator show from the beginning (in 2006) and it does a great job of showing how mainstream politics always stay the exact same and no problem is ever fixed.
Climate catastrophe, greedy billionaires, conservatives blatantly disregarding facts in the pursuit of power, mass surveillance – everything was already the same 15 fucking years ago.
And the left still hasn't been able to put up any meaningful form of resistance… *sigh*
The George W. Bush presidency countout really hits a weird vibe for me nowadays…
Like, you still remember that dipshit? The one who started the "war on terror", plunging us into an age of forever-wars and ubiquitous mass surveillance?
If you're gen z and hate Trump, maybe read up on this guy because not all warmongers wear overt misogyny and aggression like big red flags and you'll want to be able to recognize people like this.

Most leftists today have been brainwashed into #identityLeft-thinking.
Ie. If you can somehow #virtueSignal superiority over someone via a #dotCon platform then you are more left.
Its clown-like, yes.
Real# leftists are just kept in places like #UK's #Belmarsh prison, #droneBombed or "#disrupted" (its now official, see #Australia's #IdentifyAndDisrupt Bill).
Before that it was unofficial.
Geniune leftists are "terrifying" to the #kleptocrats. *wink
