elon doesnt deserve torgofication but this is good

but for elmo, it was tuesday

yes, having one obligation in the evening can completely sap me for the entire day as i fixate on that one thing i have to do later. then i get irritable about how i never have any time and basically turn into gradgrind’s wife from ‘hard times’ “Upon my word and honour I seem to be fated, and destined, and ordained, to live in the midst of things that I am never to hear the last of. It really is a most extraordinary circumstance that it appears as if I never was to hear the last of anything!'”

it won’t be ok but it’ll be alright

im sympathetic to the concept because using “lib” outside of specific contexts invites agreement or conversation from people i’d rather throw into a wood chipper, but idk if citizen is the right replacement

i love and cherish all hippos and wish i could befriend them but they’re too angry

Yes. Escalating in recovery is a bad idea, as long as you’re good w staff and advocating for your own needs just keep your head down otherwise and stick to the chill people

thirding this, did the same thing and it’s been a massive quality of life improvement even if it’s still the US.

the plus side is that a massive portion of the us proletariat is completely disengaged from electoral politics and generally politically incoherent. I’ve had good experiences reaching these types and a smart party (like the Black Panthers were) can convert wins from this group (like the Panthers did and a major reason why the feds went hitler+ on them)

Committed chuds aren’t really worth the time or effort to “convert” imo, and the salvageable ones ime start their own deconstruction first

agreed, if I wasn’t clear I meant your assessment of that excerpt, we’re on the same page. I definitely consider myself part of that working class considering I’m a minority in a non computer non credentialed retail job in my late 30s.

I like a lot of roderic day’s writing but I do think this is a fair assessment at least in the context of the working class in the us and describes only a relatively privileged section of the proletariat here

In song form

because it takes longer to say that I hate a certain predominant type of country music that is overwhelmingly the most likely to be heard in any public space or around almost anyone who “loves country” who isn’t a music head or a comrade. Like that’s a long ass sentence

THANK YOU. coming from a place where it is endemic and now living in the NE I was very confused about the love my rehab roomie had for it until she told me all about her extensive cop and conservative family and it clicked. Everyone else up here that listens to it that I personally have met is the same, and it’s never the kind of stuff I don’t mind hearing either (George jones or Gary Stewart or Delbert McClinton or even some patty loveless or juice newton). It’s always the trucks n flags n eagles shit, kinda reinforces the point

im way more concerned with people glazing the woke pope and liberation theology as proto communism than I am somebody doing a birth chart, idk.
