Me catching Bernie leftists on social media spewing non stop Democratic party hate like a Russian bot, only to have them try to deflect my anger by claiming they voted for Biden or Hillary.
Bro, you spent every waking minute in between elections campaigning for the fascist Republicans like a modern day Joseph Goebbels.You're basically a Russian asset, drenched in privilege, doing the work for free.
Where are all the stupid people that told me Kamala was a bad candidate? The Democrats don't need to do better, you guys do, clowns!
I saw a post recently that was arguing that you should stop using alcohol wipes when giving yourself hrt injections because it's too wasteful, literally saying that the possibility of sepsis is worth not using a square inch of cotton per week.
They weren't arguing for more efficient solutions, ways of recycling the material, or anything like that. It was just "you should facetank risk of infection in order to not create waste"
And goddamn isn't that everything I've been noticing lately about how people talk about technology and progress and waste these days; a kind of reactionary tech-pessimism.
I recently had a student argue that we should never have invested in NASA or the space program because rocketry can also be used for weapons, damn all the other things that came out of it like weather satellites.
Westerners literally make up stories about the Fukushima Daiichi plant, talking about people who are walking-dead cleaning up the site since they'd already had a lethal level of radiation exposure. Sorry, what's that? No one died from radiation exposure when Fukushima Daiichi failed? That doesn't feel right.
The power grid! My god, the power grid. Everyone is so hung up on "what if we ban datacenters" but, guys, the US power grid has been decaying from austerity and intentional conservative sabotage for decades. Remember when rotted infrastructure caused wildfires a few years ago in California? The primer driver of your power bills is that, not facilities still under construction. We have to fight and build solar and improve transmission between states so we can actually send that electricity places!
Like we can't embrace our own "reject modernity". We just can't. The answer can't be "stop using air conditioning", "stop using electricity", "stop using satellites", "stop using alcohol wipes".
The Bernie bros are at it again. The same guy who wrote that Hillary was wrong when she called half of MAGA a basket of deplorables is now trying to pretend he didn't contribute to Trump's rise.
Jacobin, the Bernie bros, etc... would rather defend MAGA than admit that MAGA is profoundly racist and their animosity bigotry and hatred has been weaponized against them. Economic anxiety my ass.

Remember it was Mamdani and the leftists strategy to allow the GOP to win the presidency as part of the uncommitted movement. To this day they still claim outlandish things like both sides are the same, etc...
They share in the responsibility for everything that has happened since they made their choice. When American kids are being killed in Iran fighting Israel's war, remember who helped the GOP win in 24.
There are a lot of reasons for the downfall of the #USA but a big one is the purchase of traditional #media by plutocrat goons
Look at this fucking shit:
EDIT: some people are angry that i am potentially misleading because this isn't a recent headline. i am trying to make a point about the decay of traditional media and our current state of things. but yes, this is is from 2014, after #bezos bought WaPo. my point still stands, and you should follow my account for commentary, not breaking news
