right?
well, they do agree on the problems but not on the solutions
but in some cases, they do agree on the solutions too
like withdrawing from foreign wars
Remember when the left..
hated war?
they do even now
i'm talking the populist left
not the mainstream neoliberal one
neocon and neoliberals were always very close to each other
i sometimes dont understand this group politics ... because people go into different groups because 10% of their thinking is different and then hate each other ... like wtf
like globalist internazis hate nazi but they are just nazi who think of Earth as a country and not part of Earth they live in as country
it's a matter of hiding behind labels and disassociating
it is like why cant they understand that what they are doing is the same but noooooo they must have an enemy and who is better then someone who created hellish reputation for national socialism ... and then they just go and call everyone nazi
oh if they have half a brain they know
i think they know
and if they DON'T have the brain, then you're being ruled by an idiot
because the moment they aknowlege Nazis as socialist then that would destroy public opinion on socialism imidiatly but right now they are doing a pretty good job without them aknowleging anything as it turns out socialism doesnt work and people know it
but there will be fights
oh there will.
I watched something on Mysandry Today... -take it with a grain of salt mind you- but I believed he predicted widespread ANTIFA riots on the anniversary of trump's presidency?
yeah and i wonder when will they try the assasination part of terrorism and i wonder how media will treat antifa then ... will they cheer them as heroes and say Trump had it coming ? cus the way MSM is now there is possibility they will do that ... cus MSM now supports child abuse and sexualization of kids they lost their morals for the far left and the alphabet group
in 2020 when he would have a campain for presidency and stuff
if ANTIFA tries that and fails, they'd be annihilated
you guys wanna know why most ppl are oblivious ?
mainstream media deciding what gets through the filters?
that or they just don't want to know
no, its deeper than that
also, sadder
though TBF, I'm legitimately afraid of digital media censorship replacing that....
oh? what then?
let me get it..

Girard’s studies in literature, history, and sociology led him to develop a pretty cynical theory for why we want things:
We don’t know what we want, so we imitate what other people want. He called this “mimetic desire.”
People are switching jobs, getting divorced, and feeling dissatisfied more than any time in history. It’s as if our values and desires are in a constant state of fluctuation, changing with the slightest off-hand comments or newest trends. Rene Girard saw it coming: we have no concept of what we truly want or value, so the next best thing is to mimic someone else’s desires.
The girl with the Louis Vuitton bag got 600 Instagram likes – drop two grand.
Being a [insert religion here] worked for the rest of my family – do the same.
He’s a lawyer that makes money and drives a cool car – go to law school.
Everyone’s having fun in L.A. and New York – pack up and move.
The compound effect of mimetic desire is that it creates a culture where we battle for products, ideologies, and lifestyles that likely won’t satisfy either person fighting for them. We unintentionally manufacture social, political, and cultural norms, then try to stand out by being really good at those norms. And if that doesn’t work, we look for something else to “want.”
Needless to say, social media turbocharges mimetic desire. Scrolling through Facebook and Instagram is like diving into a vortex of social proof. It’s where our personal tastes are formed. It’s where “likes” have more merit than authenticity or talent. It’s where we learn to want what everyone else wants.

mimetic existence
basically old-school NPC theory
... what I wouldn't give for a meme right about now
but yeah, there it is.
sad, right ?
we keep acting like there was a time in human history where most ppl where original
or deep thinkers
they weren't
