The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

I think that critically this imagined national movement doesn't involve libs or normies or anything cringe, but does include a broad socialist awakening of the working class that will be cool and sexy

Sky Marchini @sky.skymarchini.net · 6d

What really also annoys me is there’s also a variant of this that seem to think that there’s some magic secret trick the national movement will play that will solve politics, possibly forever, that somehow isn’t also mass violence.

the thing that annoys me about the 'elections won't save us' shit is that it's just a permission structure to wait for a powerful national social movement, and in their want a violent one, that *will never fucking exist*.

Bartiromo attacks Mamdani for pointing out that tourists aren't traveling to the US as much because Trump is brutalizing people: "You just heard that. He wants illegals and internationalists to come here, particularly ahead of the World Cup."

Most of you are broke because you overpay for food.
I spent less than £30 today in Vietnam... and ate like a king.
Massive dim sum meal I didn't even finish.
An açai bowl on demand.
Coffees lined up like soldiers.
Pre-made pesto pasta and chicken with sauces.
All delivered to my door.
Meanwhile you're stressing over Tesco meal deals.
I get fuel and time back for pennies.
That's why I can lock in and keep stacking.
Stop crying about the cost of living.
Move somewhere it doesn't apply.

I was supposed to stay in Vietnam for a month trip.
I lasted 5 days.
- Skin rash this morning.
- Vomiting at 3am from food poisoning.
- Pollution choking the air.
- Noise everywhere - scooters, horns, chaos.
- Renting apartments only to find out its someone's spare room.
Everyone romanticises "digital nomad Asia."
Cheap rent.
Street food.
Cafes.
Reality?
A health hazard with WiFi.
Enough is enough.
I booked a flight the same day.
Winners don't tolerate bad environments.
They put themselves where performance thrives.
That's why I'm going back to Dubai.
Because winners move fast and make quick decisions.

I think that your take might actually be the best I’ve heard all day— to paraphrase: the same people who proudly claimed they had the right to summarily execute anybody merely upon *accusation* of a (non-capital) crime, are suddenly outraged that somebody else had the exact same value system.

We have to figure out some method of national repentance and atonement because it’s not sustainable to have roughly half the nation be completely psychotic, we literally can’t afford to write off tens of millions of people, and we can’t let them avoid owning what they did or they’ll do it again.
