There’s also the possibility that Trump made these the fuck up. He’s a liar, after all.

The thing is, we don’t even do that. If we truly believed in some sort of French existentialism “pursuit of one’s own meaning”, we would encourage people to read books, seek out new experiences, analyse their thoughts, etc, but again, little of that is profitable. Who the fuck wants to sit down and wonder why they’re on this planet when you can just numb your brain with endless culture war brainrot, Fortnite Mobile and a cheap hit of booze or porn? Again, our entire existence is built around mindless consumption. We fundamentally don’t care about anything. We just sort of exist. Life isn’t real. We’re all zombies walking through the meaning apocalypse. EDIT: Just to be clear, I’m not above this. My day to day life is pretty dull and I legit spend a lot of time just playing Skyrim or watching random videos on YouTube. I haven’t found a way out of this mess better than anyone else, but god I wish more people realised we were in a mess in the first place. It’s pretty goddamn exhausting most days.

The thing is we created this world. Seriously, whats the point of modern society? What’s the end goal of all of our efforts? What do corporations, politicians, public figures, billionaires etc all practically fall over themselves day after day to announce? New technology. New apps. New AI. New forms of home delivery, new drones, “smart” assistants, new video games, new CGI technologies, etc. Billions of work hours every day are putting into making life more digital, convenient, online and “user friendly” as possible. A grown 40 year old man waking up on a Saturday and deciding to play Helldivers for 12 hours inst some “failure of personal character”, it’s literally the exact, explicit and socially-rewarded GOAL of 50 years of collective human political, technological and economic effort. I’m dead serious when I ask - what the fuck else are people supposed to do? The entire modern economy is, again, LITERALLY built off online consumption. Are we meant to go to church? Who gives a shit about church? Are we meant to go for a hike? Sure, but even then, our entire cultural-media-advertising sphere emphasises taking photos of that hike to upload to Instagram. Get another job? A side hustle? The only reason people work these days is to pay for more video games and Disneyland vacations. I find it sick and twisted that we condemn ourselves for living the sort of life WE FUCKING CREATED. If we were supposed to care more about exercise, community events, art, spirituality, etc we would BUILD THAT WORLD INSTEAD. But that’s not profitable. Absolutely no one wants to go to some lame-ass Shakespeare in the Park production when Netflix is right there. We have turned ourselves into the ultimate consumer, the ultimate product, the ultimate always-online AI-generated ersatz of a real human being. This was always the plan. This was always the end goal. You’re a goddamn fool for thinking life matters.

Americans are dumbass money-worshippers. Literally thinking money will somehow save them from death. Of course even just a few moments of thinking that line of logic through would tell you how absurd it is, but unfortunately hundreds of millions of people didn’t get the memo. When Americans realise they’re mortal just like everybody else and the only way to survive on this planet is with the help of other people, we’ll get change. Otherwise, expect more presidential rapists.

Modern society basically denies adulthood to millions of people. Considering how expensive it is to own a home or how insecure and shitty most jobs are, it’s no surprise people cling to the time of their lives when the world felt more stable and manageable. Add on top of that governments that don’t give a shit about their own people, geopolitical chaos, failure to meet the climate crisis etc and it’s incredibly understandable why so many people “check out” of being a responsible, future-oriented adult in favour of just relieving their childhood. If WW3 could start tomorrow and we all blow up in nuclear fire, whats the point of caring about bills or mortgages or responsibility? It’s a psychological pressure tank with basically no social payoff. I’m not saying it’s good to be a Disney adult or whatever, just that I don’t blame people who end up becoming one. We live in a needlessly cruel and ignorant world.

Ignoring the current nationalist posturing for taking over Greenland (which I’d be genuinely surprised if anything happens, but then again I could be wrong), I hope everyone here understands that Trump has almost single-handedly destroyed US credibility on the world stage and made communist China seem the sane, “reasonable” power on the world stage. Like, what the fuck does he and his cronies actually think will come of this? The EU will just go down without a fight and the 50,000 Greenlanders will accept imperialist domination with open arms? That nations like Britain, France, Canada, Japan, Korea, Germany, Brazil etc won’t be seriously disgusted by America’s behaviour and make geopolitical moves to counter that? America really is killing itself as an international force because it was too stupid and too greedy to give itself healthcare, and instead blamed everyone (even the fucking INUIT) for their own problems, rather than themselves. And who benefits from this the most? China. China, in contrast, seems to be an evidence-based, restrained, rational actor who won’t arbitrarily cut off trade (or fucking INVADE) it’s neighbours out of its own idiocy and hubris. So yeah, thanks Trump. Global human rights and democracy will now be replaced with Chinese-style survival of the fittest because you couldn’t help yourself but rape little girls on a Caribbean island. Fucking clown world. 🤡

It seems in his quest to keep foreign armies off Greenland soil, Trump has all but ensured foreign armies land on Greenland soil https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20260114-france-to-send-troops-for-european-security-mission-to-greenland-amid-trump-threats

Also Nick Fuentes: I gargle my own piss

I sort of agree. Without wanting to sound too much like a crazy communist, I’d honestly say 95% of modern violence boils down to people living in desperate conditions and fighting over territory / resources just to survive. Even conflicts that seem on the surface to be more about nationalism / ideology (like Russia vs Ukraine) ultimately boil down to this - Russia is an incredibly poor country with lots of desperation, so it’s better for Putin to use nationalism and militarism to control the people than for them to get crazy ideas like “reform” or “foreign investment.” I think, if my intuition is correct and we’re going to see a major backlash against the sort of soulless, toxic orange late stage capitalism, countless people around the world will see their material lives improve and their political freedoms grown, giving them less cause to take up arms and shoot their neighbour because they follow the teachings of Saint Zambo the Wise while their neighbours follow the teachings of Saint Jambo the Just

My main concern is how does Iran protect its sovereignty if/when the Ayatollah falls? Make no mistake the current administration is corrupt as fuck, but what will stop Iran from being sliced up by every major corporation, even powerful country all trying to get a piece of the pie when it collapses? I hope Iran has some strong, visionary leaders who are able to bring democracy to the country whilst also asserting Iran’s independence. Iranian culture is just too cool to have it turned into yet another soulless American puppet imo.

I’m not sure if posts like these are allowed here but whatever imma try it anyway. Something is definitely up. Ever since the ICE shooting of a woman yesterday it feels like something has finally - shifted? snapped? and that were all just waiting for whatever it is to come. Does anyone else feel this way? What could it be? Economic depression? Uprising against Trump? Fucking aliens?? I’m kinda unnerved but I hope it’s somehow a good thing.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/03/explosions-reported-venezuela-caracas Sigh. Is this really the next US “forever war?” Are we really doing Iraq all over again? This is just so depressing. I don’t expect much good to come out of this.

Venezuela is going to turn into a failed state. I mean this sincerely, the rest of the world should prepare to host as many Venezuelan refugees as they can. I might even write my member of parliament expressing my concern.

That’s not the problem. The problem is what happens now? Maduro might be captured but hes just one guy. His government, party, military etc still run the country. I don’t know much about Venezuela but I highly doubt millions of his supporters won’t go down without a fight. Also, even if literally every single Venezuelan was chomping at the bit to oust him (which I doubt), in general people hate it when you invade their nation and kill their people. There are probably huge swathes of apolitical / centrist Venezuelans who just became diehard patriots over night and will resist any US attempt to assert its will on their country. Regime change wars are incredibly tricky business, which the US has an absolute dogshit record on.

If Maduro is put on trial and charged with 34 felonies, does that make him fit to be President of the United States? 🤔

The NT also has some questionable teachings. It submits women to men, it tells slaves to submit to their masters, Jesus said he came not bring peace but “a sword”, etc. Overall the message is one of generosity but it can easily be twisted to support crueler ends if someone really wanted to. Likewise, the Quran has many verses about violence and oppression, but it also has countless verses about mercy, justice, alms-giving, how Allah loves all of creation, etc. Look I’ve gotta ask are you a Christian? Because this conversation won’t make sense otherwise if I know if you are or not

That didn’t stop previous Christians from using these passages to justify oppression in the past. How do you think Souther plantation owners justified owning slaves whilst calling themselves Christian? My point is is that it doesn’t really matter (too much) about what a religious text says; what matters is the people / society interpreting those texts and whether they use them for lower-consciousness or higher-consciousness purposes.

https://apnews.com/article/government-shutdown-congress-trump-641e7e2324f261da72395b604d9540e8 Not sure what to make of this. On one hand, it’s basically a political win for the Republicans, because it lets them gut healthcare without offering anything in return. On the other hand, things like FAA workers not being able to direct flights was really messing with the country so the shutdown had to end at some point. Also, even though it’s coming to an end, the discourse has been around how bad the Republicans are on healthcare from what I’ve seen, so the damage is done. Thoughts? Did the Dems cave too early? Is it time to get rid of the old guard of Dem politicians who keep letting the Republicans ruin America, or was this agreement justified?

I’ll bet you $50 right now that she has a massive crash out within the next five years. There’s a lot of unprocessed grief and anger inside of her that is being masked by the glitzy attraction of money and fame. This is utterly unhealthy for everyone involved.

The more I think about it, the more I feel terrible for her. It’s been what, a month? since Charlie’s death, and this poor woman literally hasnt had a single second just to breathe and process it all. Before all this, she was a nobody. Literally just the wife of some podcast guy. No one knew or cared about her, and it probably suited her the best. But now after the Right has tried to make Charlie into some sort of martyr and has jumped at the chance to elevate her into some new “conservative icon”, she’s being exposed to levels of scrutiny and toxicity that basically no one - least of all a grieving widow - should endure. American culture is sick. There’s no peace even in fucking death of all things. This is absurd. Just fucking wrong. Goddamn.

https://x.com/uncommonsince76/status/2002202137145847821?s=46 Someone needs to take Erika Kirk and get her away from all these freaks trying to cash in on her grief. Some concerned relative or friend should basically whisk her away to a log cabin somewhere and tell her just to take as much time need to cool off away from all these sickos. Dont get me wrong, I still think her politics suck, but she’s literally a young mother who had her husband shot on live TV. If nothing else is proof that the modern “conservative” movement is just a way for a bunch of delirious freaks trying to cash in on everything sacred - even human grief itself - then this is it. Literal “The Boys” levels of absurdity all round.

Unironically dementia + partial strokes have made him more unhinged in the last few months. When your brain gets damaged your filters come off and it’s not uncommon for people to turn into bigger asses than they already were.

Dragon sickness is one hell of a drug. I can’t imagine having that much wealth and still fearing you don’t have enough.

Fuck Trump. Fuck this evil, endless culture of corporate grift so that these monsters can literally rape little girls and think they can get away with it. Fuck all the satanic evil festering around the halls of power that puts ego, violence, greed and sexual assault before the needs of the millions of people both within and without the United States. A reckoning is coming. Truth can only be suppressed for so long before it rears its ferocious head like a blazing Sun and puts to end all the vile, godless evil that threatens the very stability of the earth we live on. Trump is going down. An awakening is coming.
