There are no idiots, but the idea persists
I forgot the exact quote, but the gist was that wealthy people don't need to actively collude, because their interests naturally align: Lower taxes, less oversight, less restrictions what to do with their wealth, undermine any effort that might threaten existing power structures.
That also explains why they naturally seem to support authoritarianism and facism, because those systems offer exactly that.

Switched to Tidal. It's cheaper and better quality. Also no AI music bullshit. They even have a tool to transfer your playlists and so on. Although it's not perfect and I had to remove some tracks it identified incorrectly, because the real track isn't on there. But the vast majority of music is on Tidal as well. There are just a few albums that a handful of artists haven't put in tidal. Not sure why they didn't, because they have other albums there, but I can live with that.
I see the headline. I don't have to open the link to be informed that ICE is now murdering people in the streets!
Edit: At least I can just block you, but still: Spamming horrible information in inappropriate places is not the heroic thing you think it is.
That's not so great for people trying to watch their mental health. I can't change a thing about that, here in Germany, but I guess I have to see it, anyway.
Man, I get it. You see how man are treated with less empathy, their pain diminished, their emotions denied and then faulted for being angry all the time, the only emotion that seems to be acceptable as a man. But you're going to hard in the other direction. It's not just black and white. Just because a man is talking about his pain doesn't mean he can't be a dick about it. And that is what this comic demonstrates. If you're honest to yourself I'm sure you can see that too. If not, you know, sorry to hear. Not much I can do to change your mind.
There is a productive way to talk about your pain and going "I suffer more than you" is not it. No matter the gender.
He says that he feels like this all the time, while she only feels like that five days a month. Sure, he is not saying that her pain is lesser, but he is saying that he is suffering more. And that is what (most) people here mock. That this comic suggests that men suffer more than women. That responding to someone explaining their pain with "actually, I suffer like that all the time" is childish behavior. This isn't about men sharing their pain, it's about the one-upping what she is saying.
I'd say wait for the new one to come out, then buy the old even cheaper

Kraa The Sea Monster (1998) is what happens when Godzilla’s sleazy cousin crawls from a Jersey swamp in a rubber suit that reeks like a stale Domino’s pizza box.
This was Full Moon’s grand attempt to ride the coattails of Godzilla ’98, and they don’t even try to hide it. There’s literally a Godzilla billboard in one of the destruction shots, like the movie itself is sighing, “Yeah, you probably should’ve watched that other garbage instead of this garbage.”
The setup is threadbare: Lord Doom—Doctor Doom’s knockoff brother from a Halloween clearance bin—sends Kraa to stomp Earth into submission. Planet Patrol, a team of photogenic twenty-somethings squeezed into lycra on what looks like a rejected Death Star set, can’t make it to the fight. S
o the job falls to a biker, a waitress, and, best of all, a clam-shaped alien puppet who talks like he’s auditioning for Super Mario Bros. Supposed to land in Italy, he crashes in New Jersey instead, so of course he speaks in a cartoon Italian accent.
And the monster? Kraa ambles through miniatures like he’s shopping for groceries. Sometimes you’ll catch timecode still burned into the frame, or a green screen that never got finished. The rubber suit itself was later sold off to collectors—proof that someone out there paid actual money to own a piece of Full Moon’s sweat-soaked kaiju history.
Planet Patrol could’ve been the saving grace. They’re pretty, they’re in lycra, and they radiate late-night-TV charisma. But they barely show up, leaving us stuck with Earthlings nobody cares about. Worse still, when the monster footage arrives, it’s so bland you almost miss the biker and waitress. Almost.
Here’s the problem: Kraa! isn’t gloriously inept like Plan 9 from Outer Space, and it isn’t stylishly wild like Starcrash. It’s self-aware bad. It winks at you. And nothing kills camp faster than a movie begging to be in on the joke. It’s the cinematic equivalent of the kid in high school rehearsing comebacks in the mirror, never realizing that trying too hard is the least cool move of all.
In the end, Kraa! The Sea Monster is a kaiju flick without menace, a parody without guts, and a spoof without bite. Watch it if you’re curious, but don’t expect “so bad it’s good.” This one’s “so bad it’s boring”—and boring is the monster no one can beat.
