I feel like that sometimes too :(

I think a lot of awfulness is just the result of a poor internal model of the world. Intentionally spreading a poor model of the world is an effective propaganda strategy and often done. However it is difficult to tell apart people who have been lied to and people who have been unintentionally misled.

I think a great many people, myself included, have been misled about a great many things. Mostly not even out of maliciousness, but because reality is not as obvious as it could be. Our perspectives are often so limited. My takeaway from all this is to try and broaden my perspective, and when possible, give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just need some new information, or the removal of a malign influence.

Alabama talking shit about Cali is hilarious, ranked the 5th worse state here for good reasons https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings?region=AL%2CCA

that’s gotta be a nice moment, I am still eagerly awaiting the day my kid can make his own sandwich

“In other news, propaganda works” 🫩

You should look into the history of it a bit, the categories were really always kinda about the skin color

I really like this idea, I can’t believe you just threw this together, awesome work and thank you for sharing, I hope it gets some traction

It kind of is though, the wealthy don’t keep those trillions of dollars in savings accounts, they keep it in assets, which in some cases are literally factories and warehouses and large machines and in other cases just proxies for those things. It’s complicated but not untrue to frame it that way

thank goodness, I almost forgot what good news looked like

I can only dream of moments like these

😋

Tbf you also buried the lede here and I am mildly annoyed by it

Was literally coming here to say this

We had potentially the fifth largest protest in American history on April 5th, if you’re not seeing it it’s because you’re not there (and the @#$&ing media is complicit)

Everybody got some weird shit, I’m sure she will too.

He paid for the whole year yknow

Right wing crunchy fash

🤣 🤣 I needed this today, thank you

Also curious, have a similar project in mind. I’ve tinkered with jekyll a little and heard good things about Hugo. Hopefully people can speak to some of these.
