It's amazing how thoroughly "the left" was dismantled by the feds in America. The right-wing outflanks them on every issue, everything that happens that absolutely must be picked up by the actual left is instead picked up by the American right, and "the left" is instead on the other side. This, Ukraine/Burisma, Twitter Files, and all the other bullshit.
How many people do you know that think whatever the authority on traffic light timings is just making them bad on purpose to annoy every car driver?
tbh this did happen near me with a new light on some shitty high-traffic stroad but obviously it was fixed within 3-4 days and then it was just regular (bad) traffic instead of insanely bad traffic
most of these "conspiracies" are based in something but people are just too alienated from everything to make connections beyond just "government make my car-driving bad". like the western governments making roads bad on purpose - it's because they contract it out to shitty EPCs to build the road on the lowest budget but somehow it is purposeful instead of just capitalist municipality doing capitalism stuff.
I can browse tiktok and xhs "anonymously", but if i try to open instagram or twitter without an account it wont even let me. if I try to make a random account it will ask me for a phone number, if it still thinks it can't pinpoint me, it will ask for a fucking ID. who is surveilling?
