Somehow got to do a day trip to edgartown (Martha’s fucking vineyard) today and somehow the amount of murikkka is still surprising. Might be most concentrated area of wealth/power/liberal white supremacy I’ve ever been to - never been more convinced that this system needs to .
There’s literally a group of small islands or whatever owned by the Forbes (railroad barons) that no one except their hundreds of family members and their guests can step foot on. It feels like I’m in the belly of the beast. There are so many places you’d think are public but haha no darling you simply can’t go! because of these land hoarding fucks.
honestly wonder all the ways the global south would benefit long term if this area was nuked this weekend
The space we were in today and the culture of the area was utterly insane. surrounded mostly by rah rah USA Vinnies, fourth generation nepo babies, and tourists.
the small group of lib family I was with were very toned down in comparison. The most annoying part from them was hearing comments like how progressives should take back patriotism (lol how??) or how this is still nice because it gives ppl an excuse to get together. Some of these arguments/retorts in the face of full blown fascism are so weak and sad and thus they give me hope that neoliberalism is genuinely dying
