This thread hits hard.
There is something to be said for empowering people, but a lot of "national" training culture when I hit my professional stride was about how you just had to BELIEVE and DO THE WORK and it didn't matter how hostile the territory, organizing could do it if you were a true believer.

I have some friends that worked on it & apparently it was unfettered access to the worst people behaving badly & without filter (racist senators, Melania’s boyfriend drama, infighting, etc) so a good portion of that $40 million might just be hush money to insure the raw footage never escapes.

Our ancestors slept on cave floors and I need a pillow for my head, a pillow for my body, zero light, a white noise machine, and one leg out of my covers before I can even close my eyes

“In 2021, Gen Z and young millennials started rejecting China’s culture of long hours and hard work by ‘lying flat’. Instead of following the ‘996’ norm (working 9am to 9pm, six days a week), many said they weren’t working at all—or were doing the bare minimum to get by.” fortune.com/2025/11/14/c...
China's unemployed Gen Z are proudly calling themselves 'rat people' and spending entire days in bed | Fortune
Experts say the movement is a global 'quiet protest' against current job market and burnout.

viewing these actions within a feminist framework is shortsighted and will lead no where.
what you’re seeing is a faction of maga breaking off into the america first sect of the alt right—where you’ll also find nick fuentes.
she’s a white woman with significant power cutting the cord with trump.

I'd be really curious if someone better versed in feminist theory wrote about what's happening on the right. Because between Greene, Mace, and Bobert, we've got this bloc forming of women who seem tired of serving a patriarchy of sex criminals. And their rhetoric is starting to lean that direction.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

Also always blows my mind that this woman is 28. Like she is younger than Megan Thee Stallion. She’s younger than Life After Death and Share My World. “I Can Love You” is older than this woman. And her husband was 32 when she was born!
