Revealed? Did no one read Project 2025m
Honestly, it felt like reading Alice in wonderland on crack. By the time I got to the end it was all so fucking crazy I couldn't remember most of what was in it
Nobody reads anything longer than a paragraph, nobody watches anything longer than a youtube short linked on facebook.
We are here because we allowed comfort and convenience to rot all our collective brains. We are all accountable, we all had a role to play, even if tiny. We could have rallied together, we could have pushed community action and worked harder to preserve progressive ideology. We could have stopped giving so much freedom to the people trying to take away all our freedom. We could have stopped buying shiny new phones and cars and demanded products that last and union protections for our workers.
But no, we thought it was funny when 4channers started screaming about how evil feminists were and laughed it off instead of having their nests burnt down and we instead started our decades-long obsession scrolling for dopamine instead of involving ourselves with the people who run our communities.
If we had claimed the flag, if we had been the ones screaming about our rights to own guns and how we wanted to make america great, if we had been the ones getting arrested for plowing our cars into groups of nazis, we would be the ones with the muscle right now setting social policy. But just saying that is probably setting off some of ya'll and that's what the problem is.
I promise you, the other side isn't balking at rhetoric like that and are actively encouraging it, and have won every round because of it.
very true, person who shared a big wall o' text.
what's the TLDR?
I'll assume this is ironic posting/trolling and move on.
Funny, I thought the same thing about you, otherwise I don't know why you'd make such a broad claim while simultaneously violating the foundation of said claim. FYI I'm still waiting on your TLDR for your wall of text.
I mean, if you're trying to throw shade for some reason it doesn't make sense how you went about it. The thesis of my comment is ragging on idiots with short attention spans, so for someone to jump in and complain the comment was too long for them to read is absurd, it's a self-own. I feel like if you are serious you are either extremely stoned or exactly who I'm referencing in my comment, so I'm wondering what exactly you think you're making me feel with that kind of response? It's either mindless bot-posting or your trolling so deeply that I don't get the meta-layers and wouldn't care either way.
If something someone says on the internet offends you or you disagree with them, you have to address the content of the material, and not LITERALLY embody the caricature of the stereotype being called out. I can't grasp someone missing that basic concept and it's genuinely hilarious.
Throw shade? No, but I am being reminded when people fail to communicate adequately they tend to lash out.
No, you're still in the upside-down, you replied to me, that means you failed to comprehend something. That's a skill issue. I didn't fail to communicate, you failed to be able to read, yet your brain is making you think this is someone else's fault and you're not letting it go, like... this is fascinating, you take this seriously?
I am engaging because you genuinely amuse me and make me a little curious what backwards narration takes place in other people's minds.
You never heard of YouTube summaries or are you too smart for that?
Idc what you have to say with that shitty 'im smarter than everyone else' attitude. You're not.
Boasting about using youtube summaries is not the flex you think it is.
I would let you know at this point you're blocked, but I have a strong feeling you stopped reading after the first paragraph and said "I ain't readin all that."
