The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Technology the left is excited about:
-mRNA vaccines and other medical advances
-high-speed rail
-renewable, sustainable energy
-the Internet when it's not being actively ruined by 5-6 rich assclowns.
-Truly interesting VR stuff
Basically, everything that makes human life and creativity better.

One of the greatest scams that the rich ever pulled on us, through the use of their media networks, was convincing most of the general populace to believe that the stock market was the economy.

"But if you arrest everyone in the Epstein files, our current system will collapse."
Then let's wicker-man every single one of these shitbags in glorious celebrations of the new old ways. Let us dance around the burning remains of a corrupt system that feeds on the youth to enrich old corrupt men.

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.

If you didn't know, the idea of "Try to victimize someone by pretending to have car trouble, then pounce when someone is nice enough to help you" is featured in a movie.
That movie is Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and it's meant to be disturbing as something a horrible subhuman would do.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

In case you're somehow unaware, this dystopian horror is that rich people who already literally live like royalty want the modern Gestapo to detain and imprison more innocent people for longer periods so that they can further profit off of such misery to needlessly make number go up.
In earnings calls earlier today, investors in GEO Group and CoreCivic criticized ICE. Their chief complaint? ICE's detained population, despite hitting record highs, still isn't large enough.

Yeah, every time, the rich don't leave the city where they have roots and would rather live when taxed an amount that literally doesn't change their lifestyle but helps everyone else.
Other municipalities need to stop letting the rich hold them hostage like some kind of comic book supervillains.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.
The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...

Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)

Every motherfucker in history that has said any version of, "If you're innocent, you have nothing to fear" has invariably proven that the innocent have everything to fear from draconian identity laws and tracking citizens.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

To understand why this is absolutely horrifying:
First, imagine when police/ICE use that feature to find a "suspect" and hunt down anyone the algorithm says "fits the description".
Second, if you still don't get how bad that is, ask any POC in the USA about the history of "you fit the description".

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog.
With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

More Americans need to remember that every time these Klansmen go around "investigating" artists for doing a performance well within the First Amendment rights because it wasn't white enough, YOU are paying for the efforts they take instead of healthcare, infrastructure, etc. with your taxes.
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"
