Apparition of Jack

It’s King Tut’s man cave

@Leo GuraDo it man!!

@Leo Gura At some point do you think these people will ever realise how fundamentally miserable, broken, sad and lonely people they are? None of them can stand each other. None of them sees any of the others as more than anything but as means to their own ends. Even their own families fucking hate them. Thiel, Bezos, Musk, Trump, Zuckerberg - they’re all so fucking miserable. As much as it annoys me they have all this power, part of me is glad I’ll never end up like that, living a constant, never-ending web of lies and deceptions, chasing the next high. It just sounds awful tbh.

Who the fuck knows. If it suits them they’ll certainly try. But we can fight back, and we can win. There is a growing movement of righteous anger and a dawning realisation among the people that democracy isn’t just something you take for granted, it’s something you have to uphold and work for. There is a growing realisation that democracy truly is the best form of government, and the progress of history requires its expansion, not diminishment. There is a growing realisation that our safe, prosperous societies are only built off common work, which can only be done if the people are free and protected by the people around them. Trump cannot and will not win. The path forward is arduous and difficult to see, but it is one we will walk, and one will overcome. And at the end of it all, the great promise of world history, the great promise of prosperity, community and freedom for all, will finally be achieved. This is our moment.

@aurum this is like a bingo card for people Republicans are caught having sex with

I think he does a bunch of drugs.

Nah man this is pathetic. Like actual caveman-tier politics analysis. You might be thinking I’m rude or an asshole, and you’re probably right, but I also have to call it as I see it. MAGA and Trump are existential threats to democracy. They would sooner send the world to hell if it meant retaining power than creating heaven if it meant listening to reason. If you can’t see this, then I feel sorry for you. I truly hope one day you get out of your delusions.

@Elliott AOC might be loud because there’s a lot of justified anger in the US right now. It’s weird that you say Bernie is civil why AOC is loud when the two of them are openly aligned with each other. If feel like you’ve sunk a whole bunch of propaganda about her that just isn’t true. If you actually listen to her (and not what some talking head on the media says about her) you’d see that she’s actually incredibly nuanced, even for her loudest opinions. Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything she says, but when it comes to thinks like corruption, Republican overreach, citizen right’s, wealth hoarding etc she’s always right on the money. Next time you hear her, listen to what she’s actually saying, and don’t just focus on the fact that she’s “loud” or whatever. There’s a LOT of people suffering under Trump right now (poor people, migrants (even legal ones), seniors, children etc) and her agitation is a way to highlight that suffering and stop MAGA from ruining even more lives. Again, even if you don’t fully agree with her, I urge you to reconsider your thoughts on what she says and see if you agree with anything she’s saying. EDIT: Comparing her to Trump or MTG is just ridiculous, lol. Trump is loud against working Americans and vulnerable people; AOC is loud against oligarchs and state oppression. It’s like saying both Nazi Germany and the US were bad in WW2 because “both wanted to defeat their opponent” - the comparison is just nonsense.

So what’s your problem with AOC then? I feel like she agrees with basically all of this (honestly I’m not even sure she supports illegal immigration, she just doesn’t support using unconstitutional actions against them when they’re here.) Where do you take issue?

You have strange politics 🤔 What do you believe politically?

Idk what to say dude. If Bannon is so anti-Trump why is he literally aligned with him? If Bannon pushes back against social security cuts, it’s because he recognises how unpopular they are and how much they’ll hurt the Trump administration. He doesn’t actually care at all about old people not getting pensions, he’s just trying to gain as much power as he can to push his ethnonationalist agenda. I mean dunking on AOC? Really dude? She’s one of the few shining beacons of truth and humanity in this shitty time lol, how can you be so blind? 😂 Bannon, Trump, etc will never, ever give a shit about you. They don’t care about democracy, or prosperity, or anything like that. They just want to push their nationalist agendas and make their way to the banks.

@Elliott Dude, Bannon has been aligned with Trump since Day 1. If you can’t see how MAGA propagandists operate by now then IDK what to tell you lol. Maybe you could get away with being this gullible in 2017 but not these lol. If you want some conservatives who actually give a shit about the country, check out the Lincoln Project. They have a bunch of incredible anti-Trump content to check out lol, its honestly hilarious 😂

@Elliott He literally did Elon’s Nazi salute a few days ago as an overt wink to his supporters - he’s trying to fool you. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/3/12/2309813/-Steve-Bannon-s-plot-to-convert-Democrats-into-ultranationalists

Yes, absolutely. It’s a shame that some of the best anti-Trump messaging isn’t coming from the Dems at all, but then again fuck the status quo Dems lol. You’re absolutely right in pushing that sort of message - this current crisis is a crisis of American democracy that extends beyond party lines, so messages like that appeal to people across the political spectrum.

No. Be careful with Bannon. He is one of the worst people in Trump’s circle. Hes an explicit white nationalist who plans to use American dissatisfaction with the status quo to turn America into a white ethnostate. He will say things that progressives like (like supporting Medicare or calling Musk racist) to make himself more palatable to Americans whilst in actuality not caring about any of these and in fact pushing for the exact opposite. Without giving him too much credit, he’s incredibly cunning and has a very strong grasp on social psychology but is using those to push one of the most evil ends in existence. Don’t be fooled by his lies. That’s what he’s hoping to achieve.
