Twentieth-century futurism was largely a project of “don’t worry about the problems of the present. Corporations will build you such a lovely future.” 21st-century futurism has mostly been billionaires and their courtiers whining about the mean environmental movement blocking their cool ideas.

Someone demanding you agree to vote for Newsom is demanding absolution, they feel a building shame and guilt for their complicity in this system but rather than self-reflect or reconsider, they demand the more victimized absolve them by agreeing that there is no alternative to that complicity

i suspect that this promotion of hatred between so called “rural people” and so called “urban people” is similar to generational warfare in that it’s a handy way for Republicans and Democrats to obscure class conflict and white supremacy.

This is our Kyle Rittenhouse, and Chuck Schumer needs to start acting like it. Not sure I can vote for the nominee if this kid doesn't speak at the 2028 DNC.

puerto rican statehood is for MAGAs and liberal Democrats who want puerto ricans to clean up their mess for them.

Gringo Democrats who demand Puerto Rico statehood and quote Wikipedia election results at me call me a loony sore loser or worse when I tell them that statehooders rig elections in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile in Puerto Rican TV, statehooders (and the pro-colony "populares" too) openly admit to it:

hm ok now i think carlson might run one day

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social & i have a disease which is a mild obsession with rod dreher so im actually looking forward to reading an atlantic article

the tyler harper guy is the greatest gift to the Democratic party & progressives. they have a handy loser to point to when they want to box out the socialist left in favor of bullshit liberal currents politics.

something tells me they’re really really mad at popular revulsion of elite perversion.

seeing discourses today about “left antisemitism” and “left needs to think about AI” and the common thread is that The Left is defined as the childish, wrong, naive, hateful position from the outset. how curious that it’s always framed in that way. almost like progressives & liberals need it be so.

I'd like to posit a carveout for the subtle distinction between "dooming" and "being a left-Augustinian"

O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, concealed in the cliff, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; thy pleasant voice, and thy comely countenance.

must leave here and do more instagram and/or make a tiktok. the ability to make a locked/priv account here would be nice

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

whenever i need a dogshit opinion spoken with unearned confidence i just log onto liberal currents.

wow i do feel represented here

i can’t get over the idea that bad bunny is subtle. he’s not man he’s never been subtle lmao

After his Grammys performance, lots of people were up in arms about whether Bad Bunny saying "we're all Americans" was a sign that he was making a nod towards PR statehood (unlikely) or whether he was saying it in a pan-american way. It was clear then what he meant, and it should be even clearer now

let me hop on this wave and recommend some good books on Puerto Rican history for people that feel inspired by Bad Bunny to learn about us, our history, and our culture

I think it’s funny that Bad Bunny sang he wanted to slap the former Governor of PR at the Super Bowl

after naming all the countries of the americas, he named his own. we are americans yes as are mexicans, colombians, haitians, and on and on.

one day the islands will be free

Azul Celeste 🎉🎉🎉

bad bunny is so interesting because he lays so much politics and passion over club music.

lovely

came across something truly bizarre on the other site.

there’s something off about this but i can’t quite articulate the reason. my first inclination is that this is more a result of class then anything else. the upper classes, from local gentry to the top 1%, tend toward decadence while the middle class tends toward social conservatism out of fear.

thinking about everyone’s favorite va state senator’s stalwart commitment to casinos.

embracing noided madness and whispering the words: epstein is also a limited hangout.

two possibilities: 1) trump doesn’t know that puerto rico doesn’t get to vote in the presidential elections and this is make-work to help “prove” his fraud allegations 2) they are fearful of the rise of Alianza and want to make sure that it will never succeed. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Gulf state elites locked in an eternal battle with genocidal SEA Buddhists and amerikkkan evangelicals to see who can get to the lowest layer of Hell in their own religions

a lot of real estate developers and landlords felt burned by covid. wonder if that’s influencing anything these days.

“hey there delilah” makes me homicidal.

in the name of God, my child will not work while they are in school. it doesn’t teach any valuable lessons all it does is detract from their schooling.

this is the culmination of everything your political party has been working towards since reagan. you’re just mad jeb bush lost in 2016 and now you’re working towards turning the Democrats into the 2004 GOP.

i genuinely can’t wait for Democrats to win big in november and ‘28 and then they do absolutely nothing and around and around we go until the actual Antichrist takes power.

this is the liberal project.

Right, all Bill Kristol has to do to "redeem himself" for much greater crimes is oppose Trump, who he helped create. Meanwhile Rania Khalek can point to decades of activism and advocacy on a huge range of left issues, but this means nothing. See how this works?

dirty secret of organizing: if you don’t have your job squared away you are fucked. don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. they are liars or academics or don’t need to work.

And why you ask? Bec the PNPs Political base is eroding and they merely use the Referendums as a political tool to turn out voters. Also any true process of self determination must have input from all status camps yet the PNP refuses to allow Input from any other status camp on referendum design

my final lingering insecurities over heritage evaporated when i learned the family history on the islands from family still living there.

if you love bad bunny you’ll support independence for the islands not bullshit ass statehood

re: alex pretti's murderers - there are 1000s of latino cbp officers, that's not interesting, i wanna know if they're evangelicals

All these Epstein revelations are making me less and less skeptical of what Suetonius wrote about Tiberius on Capri.

despicable monsters servants of satan worshippers of death they loathe anything holy and righteous

This is too much man they're all literal not metaphorical satanists
