Political Memes

You have to find a balance. Set yourself a weekly limit of how much news you consume and take some time for a hobby or family or something to balance it out.

There is no use reading the 3rd article a day about why Palantyr is a techno fascist nightmare that dooms us all. You got it the first time, right?

There is only so much we can take on the regular. Maybe instead of consuming it, we spend some more time fixing things. Which is hard of course but much more rewarding.

As with anything, a positive state is maintained only by constant maintenance. Vigilance is the price of societal progress, and our society has been insufficiently vigilant for too long. I agree that each person should only do what they can to stay vigilant, but it is also a societal duty to be informed and educated. If it helps to know that there are people keeping track of the US bullshit (even though they're nominally satirists, but all of the actual journalists have been bought out or replaced), here:

Don't overextend yourself, concentrate on things that you actually can have impact on, and maybe even among them pick most important issue to you and act on it.

ICE turning into gestapo is immediate issue that we can do something about.

Greenland for example, what can we do about it? I personally think he is using Iceland as a distraction from Epstein (of course Denmark and rest of Europe should take this seriously).

After he removed Maduro noticed that they threw names of several countries, Iceland produced highest outrage, so they went with it.

I am actually thinking that the main goal is turning US into dictatorship, but to keep power they need an army inside of the country (gestapo). ICE is being used for that. But to keep them loyal he needs money. The problem is that traditionally Congress controls money and can cut it. This is where tariffs and Venezuela comes from. Notice that this revenue is outside if control of the Congress.

Epstein might have been a distraction from this, but actually was hurting him. He was struggling to change narrative, and finally with Greenland everyone stopped talking about it.

I feel this way everyday

Start your own micronation like Molossia

i am an absurdist. I posit that optimism is rebellion in the face of so much oppressive fascism.

Can we also reject divisive rhetoric as well? I'm convinced it's a ruasian psyop at this point

Edit: I mean like political labeling liberal/leftist/conservative

I've had nightmares of the sort repeatedly through 2025. Fucking terrifying.

we need a state that actually cares for the people, i'd say. whether you call that socialism or something else is up to you.

I recognize bottom right as true detective which is a series and was fantastic.

Up-left is probably Marriage Story. Decent movie.
