It’s been a while since I last posted but after a while I decided to come back and post! Anyways, what have you all been playing lately? I’ve gotten into Fallout 4 (sucks that they got rid of the mods and 99.9% of creation club) and Nba 2k26, I know that it’s the same game every year but I buy it once every 5 years and just try to get a kick out of beating the Dallas Mavericks (owned by Miriam Adleson)

So, to start, a lot of HS students with aspirations of going to a university of some sort have to spend a decent amount of their last year or 2 trying to court different colleges for scholarships (most of which are colleges you’ve never heard of offering like $400 off or something) and free ride scholarships are (and this is admittedly anecdotal) unheard of in my area (suburb near major city). Should more socialist minded youth without the means to go to college find jobs? I don’t say this out of an anti-education perspective or some sort of belief that colleges are too liberal of institutions or anything, if it was free for families to send their children to school, I’d be all for it. What do yall think? And feel free to give me book suggestions or quotes from Leftists if you have any that may apply to this, specifically on the topic of the US where college costs more annually on average than any other nation.

Some Lanyard Wonk posted this on some literal Fed subreddit. Basically they were saying “Hold the Line guys! Trump is gonna try firing people against his agenda and wants to hire based on loyalty to Trump!” And seeing all these people self-fellating and giving each other congratulations was so cringe. This particular comment seemed the most cringe. Spreadsheets and emails aren’t sexy. Neither is Zionism (ahem, Noah Schnapp). Why do liberals always do this?😂

So I don’t wanna come off as depressing but the non-funny answer is when I had to leave work early bc my Mom was passing away from cancer🥺, sad answer aside onto funny answer lol, probably 2nd worst moment at work for me was when I worked Door2Door in the Southside of Chicago activating Free Gov phones and I had a gun pointed at me😂I had a gun threatened like 4-5 times throughout the job but the actual gun out spooked me, I just said in the most polite voice “I apologize and I will most certainly take you off of our list” like I get it, Door to Door people suck but it was a free phone and you could just say no. Anyways sorry for the rambling, what kinda shitty jobs have yall done and what would you say were the worst moments?

In case anyone was wondering what to get me for Xmas…hint hint😂 /s

Recently I had been going on Twitter a lot instinctively when I was bored. I guess I liked the interactions but tbh it’s so bad. Left Twitter has 3 kinds of people: (1) Acts like they are the embodiment of Marxism, nobody else knows anything and nobody else reads according to them. (2) Doesn’t care about theory or material conditions, just looking for a controversial side to join and loves posting about Russia and Jackson Hinkle/Haz. (3) Wreckers (on purpose or not makes little difference) who want to shut down any and all acts of popular resistance because “nothing ever happens”. “What are these campus protests even doing for the people in Palestine?” They say while ignoring Yemeni and Lebanese rallies with posters addressing students to continue their protests. And I would add the folks trying to become a “character” or something or like the voice of Left Twitter, but usually they fall into of the previous 3 categories (feel free to add any that you think I missed). And that’s just the Left. At LEAST they have decent takes to start with that they can ruin slowly over time. Then you get to the libs who have all been scratched. Then you push further right and you get people with usernames I can’t even say here and yet they aren’t banned from Twitter. Not to mention all the incels putting Ancient Rome on a pedestal when they would probably be slaves or merchants at best. I tried to quit Twitter a week ago and it was tough at first, but now I wanna make it like 3 weeks. If I’m still not missing Twitter I’ll prob just keep it for when friends and family send me posts from it but I probably won’t scroll thru.

I like to troll on Twitter nowadays. That includes Slazac and Drew Pavlou, Ian Miles Cheong, etc. basically any annoying lib. Recently I got a 1 day ban for telling some idiot Ukkkraine lib to kys because they called Stalin a “Nazi Collaborator”. Wanna know WHY ON EARTH they called STALIN of all ppl a Nazi Collaborator? Because of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. SMH 🤦‍♂️! I explained how all of Europe signed decrees and treaties with Nazi Germany immediately beforehand and they just blocked me and I assume reported me. Have any of you fine comrades ever been hit with a ban before?

Wow! What a movie. Spoilers included (duh).

So we start off Kubrick’s classic Vietnam War film with the dehumanizing act of shaving the heads of the new recruits. These “maggots” will soon be shaped into Killing Machines, property of the USA. The Drill Sergeant makes an effort to put these young men through HELL because ultimately that’s what war is. Kubrick, having a problem with authority figures in the Western World, makes an equal effort to depict the “good guys” (from a western perspective) as bloodthirsty monsters or at the very least, willing to comply with orders they understand are heinous and inhumane. The first 30-50 min of the movie are vastly different from the second part. Private Pyle being beaten and broken down and eventually murdering the Drill Sergeant (and himself) represents the soul-crushing feeling of being denied your own agency, a common Kubrick theme. But at the same time it represents a sort of impotence of rules and etiquette that the military tries to instill in its soldiers. The main soldier Joker is never in danger technically in the first part. But when they get to Vietnam, they see real innocent Vietnamese people getting murdered for no reason other than the fact that they were born in the incorrect country according to the US. One soldier brags about his kill count, many of them being innocent farmers. The main character joins Stars and Stripes Journalism (military propaganda) They lie about war reports in news papers, they film mass killings and wonder why the locals don’t like them, the whole time, racial and ethnic slurs are tossed around. They depict the Tet offensive as cowardly while they shoot women, children and animals from the safety of a helicopter. Kubrick does a spectacular job of capturing the duality of the military. They want prim and proper young men that are ready to murder innocents in cold blood. I highly suggest anyone watch it. It is a great Anti-War film that was important to be made at the time it came out.

I mean seriously: what is he running his campaign based on? Feel free to look around, usually you can find campaign promises on a Candidate’s official website or their social media pages, but Hasan brought up a great point, when you go on Biden’s site, you see how to donate, how to buy merch(aka donate, the markup on everything in those “stores” is ridiculous) how to work with them (free labor) or basic stuff like Privacy, Terms and Cond., accessibility, etc. Notice the lack of Campaign Promises, Issues he runs on, or even something as trivial and basic as an Accomplishments/Accolades list. For fuck’s sake, EVEN I put my accomplishments on a resume for a job that doesn’t require a degree, and Biden’s team doesn’t even have anything useful to brag about for a man running for re-election to one of the most powerful nations on Earth. I also checked out the White House official website and the only issues they have are not updated since like 2020-2021. Ahem, First Issue to be tackled is COVID-19: Well elephant in the room is that Biden didn’t do much, a better job than Trump without a doubt, but more time had already passed, more breakthroughs were made in that time, Covid was slowing down a lot by the time Biden was inaugurated. Granted there are still more cases but far fewer so I’ll give him half a point for that. And that’s being generous. CLIMATE CHANGE: Well, I can’t blame all of Climate Change on Biden, but the 1.5 degree C threshold was broken 2023, in fact it was the hottest year based on global average temperatures, 2024 likely won’t be better. Again, not all his fault, but he really hasn’t delivered on that promise. No points for that one. RACIAL EQUALITY: This one is tougher to prove or debunk, but I will say he didn’t do anything about Cop City, he helped to build parts of the Border Wall that he dumped on Trump for and has most likely forgotten that BLM was ever a thing. So no points for that one either. ECONOMY: This one is anecdotal I admit, but goddamn look at inflation, gas prices aren’t awful but food prices and clothing prices are rising fast. I don’t think Biden supporters would even give him that one, so again no points awarded. HEALTHCARE: lol nope, next. IMMIGRATION: Bro built part of the border wall, arrests and deportations are still very common. Not to mention that he did nothing about Greg Abbott’s crimes of kidnapping (he illegally bussed migrants to Blue States with no communication or planning with said Blue States, essentially leaving them homeless in Midwest Winters). I want to give him a negative point for that, but he doesn’t have a full 1 point yet, so I’ll just give him a zero for that. RESTORING AMERICA’S GLOBAL STANDING: This one is weird, like even when other countries thought Trump was an idiot, the US was still seen as a dangerously powerful nation. Also, just kinda confused, what is our global standing supposed to refer to? Does it imply that we are respected around the world for having a mature world leader? Because Trump was about as stupid as Dan Quayle (GB Sr’s Vice President)and George W Bush, and apparently those dumbfucks didn’t ruin our reputation or “global standing”. So how is Biden, our oldest president who routinely has gaffs and senior moments, the best and brightest we can offer? I guess a few European countries like Biden better because he’s a tiny bit smarter and nicer in person than Trump is. Lastly I’m gonna touch on his ads quickly. It’ll be pretty damn quick because I’ve only seen like 2-3 ads for him. One has Obama in it, one is just Joe talking about how he isn’t Trump and that he may have to face him again, and the last one is an ad where he tries to come off as energetic and determined. None of these ads are memorable for more than 10 seconds. It’s easy to forget his messaging because none of it is tailored to him. Besides the fact that he was VP, there’s no reason to put Obama in the ad, he isn’t on the ballot, he’s retired. People are also reluctant to vote for a man who may or may not survive the entirety of his second term. And Kamala Harris as VP isn’t helping that reluctance.

So they are really into the whole “not a business, we’re family” type shit. My boss called me a few times like an hr after work to see what I learned today. I learned that you’re a fuckin asshole w no boundaries dude. Get this, today for morning meeting, he tells us about how “actually, people in poverty are much more similar to wealthy people. And poor and rich people are similar because they’re complacent.” We’re supposed to write down notes smh. Halfway through his dumbass speech, I just started writing up a critique of everything he said. Like sure, inheritance and intergenerational wealth play NO role at all dude, just grind more. What metaphysical bullshit. Tbh if they keep pushing this class collaboration, idealistic view of the world just to act like we need to work harder, I’m gonna look for a new job.

I was under the impression that Biden would try to give more charismatic responses to tough questions, y’know, considering that he’s running for reelection against Trump. I’m disgusted that he knows it isn’t doing anything to discourage them but will do it anyway. Genocidal Joe is more a title of his that he proudly wears rather than a criticism from the left on his foreign policy. I’m sure he doesn’t care. In fact I’m positive. He was at a church where protesters voiced their support for ceasefire in Gaza and he just shrugged them off and had them removed by police. Tbh, I was surprised that his handlers didn’t have that question about Ansr Allah prepped days ago already and had Joe trained on what to say. I may eat my words later but Joey stands no chance in this election. Not saying it will be the blowout of the century or anything. Hell he may even win popular vote, but I really doubt he can win the presidency at this point. Things can always change, but not many people can stand this level of honest true incompetency.
