Oprah and Doctor Phil and their consequences...

I still vaguely remember back in the day when Oprah platformed "the Secret" and brought all this "manifesting" drek in to public view. Oprah has used her massive viewrship to cause incomprehensible damage over the years.

Her story really would be fascisating from a Marxist perspective. The way her platform gave her such an enormous soap box from which to steer and influence culture, and the ways that she and the systems that supported her show chose to use that soap box.

I love The Monarch and I hate fake religions created by Western occultists by appropriating Eastern religions so this scene is a banger for sure.

Do you think the half a million children who die of malaria every year simply fail to believe in themselves hard enough? Or are we subject to physical reality?

Ask him if he thinks that would work for Palestinians in Gaza

Or just tell him to refer to this emoji as a rubric for when idealism works vs doesn't us-foreign-policy

Already asked him if he supported Palestine and the first sentence was “it’s difficult”

... but you do not make it just as you please; you do not make it under circumstances chosen by yourself, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.
