be happy knowing this is money that will be spent on trivial immature bullshit rather than donated to conservative PACs
I am disappointed this individual has reproduced.
Another racist cry-bully grifter. They’re everywhere these days.
I used to think that the term “zeitgeist” was a neat metaphor, but people who took it too literally were silly and merely playing around with woo-woo mysticism (like Jung).
Now I’m not so sure. The “zeitgeist” of America appears to be going through its cruel edge-lord phase, and the cultural change around me has appeared, to me at least, both frighteningly rapid and preternaturally inexplicable.
It feels like a force of Nature happening, like a sudden flood or something.
I’m leaning on the mystical to explain this shit now, fuck it. Maybe our land, too, has something akin to a “Spirit of Odin” that rises up every few centuries and makes people irrational, blood-thirsty, and crazy.
I just don’t know.
In fifty years we’re going to find a link to microplastics or something. Or maybe not if we don’t do science any more.
I mean the people affected by lead are still around. There was lead in everything, the lead in gasoline was found in roadside dirt from the exhaust. Not to mention all the new chemicals we have started using in the last 100years. There is definitely going to be side effects from the plastics. Heck they have proof that obesity and diabetes in pregnant women increases the chances of babies being born with Autism. Apparently the mother’s blood sugar swinging around during critical brain development stage isn’t good for the developing brain. But they aren’t going to tell people that because they want to sell their unhealthy food.
the cultural change around me has appeared, to me at least, both frighteningly rapid and preternaturally inexplicable.
It looks more like the humanist change of the 60s though to 2016-ish was the anomaly (at least in the US) and what we’re seeing today was always present but people just kept their views hidden.
So, how do we drive these fuckers back underground?
It’s a catch 22 and virtuous/unvirtuous cycle of good education and environmental contributors that don’t encourage these always present and tempting weaknesses in humanity:
-
Wealth distribution: in economies with very unequal distribution of wealth many are told there constantly isn’t enough. This mindset drives horrible behavior in humans dating back to our reptilian brain core.
-
Visibility and attainability of meritocracy vs. corruption, cronyism and/or Nepotism
We’ve had powerful interests poisoning the well for going on 160 years in the south after the civil war, corporations’ ascendence since aligned perfectly with the South’s desire to weaken the federal state. Now instead of destroying it, they’ve subsumed it and will repurpose it for fully anti-democratic aims and accelerate already strong perceptions of federal government ineffectiveness thanks to 40 years of neoliberal abandonment of the common person’s needs in pursuit of corporate donations for the Democratic party.
It’s either civil war, an authoritarian state that might be very long or short lived depending on your preference of dystopian movies or magical and dramatic recapture of political power and agency of the American public. The last one seems the least likely in the short term.

The reality is you don’t. Looking back at human history this is the natural order. This is how civilizations begin their descent. They forget what made them great and begin to assume their greatness is innate. Resting on their laurels, so to speak.
It would be remarkable if you could drive them back. But the US and the West has lived with incredibly disproportionate prosperity for a long time now, at the expense of the rest of the world, and it would be incredibly naive to assume it would last forever.
The past 75 years have marked global collaboration and growth in a way humanity has never seen before. But it was only a matter of time for us to reach a point where we could no longer satiate the greed of the wealthiest among us.
They know that this period of mutual prosperity could never be indefinite so they want to ensure we are as divided as possible when the gauntlet drops.
If you want to put the cat back in the bag, so to speak, you would need to convince the average person that social media without guardrails is rotting their brains but they’re too busy doomscrolling and consuming, while being fed a steady diet of hatred, to maintain division.
With overwhelming force, until they’re so far gone they can never return. Don’t make the mistake liberals keep making of winning one (1) major victory and going home, letting the problem fester
Sherman should have kept burning.
It’s hard when the majority support them.
It’s a Pandora’s box. You don’t put that shit back in the box. You just learn to live with it.
I dunno. They were driven underground before. How did our grandfathers manage that‽
With violence, though a lot of spaces will tell you it’s gauche to talk about violence. Stern words only.
Also, as a USian, even though my grandparents fought the Nazis the US was still garbage at home.
I’m beginning to think this all isn’t about the price of eggs.

“Always never wasn’t”
It’s at $643+k now (USD).
sigh
Why the fuck can I not have morals! I’d be filty rich taking advantage of people and doing shit like this if I didnt.
She will be running her own mega church next! Sucks to have morals
This woman is a MAGAt hero I am sure.
As soon as she works out representation, it’s only a matter of time before she has a podcast and a meme coin.
Did you see her tattoos? Is she in a gang? El Salvador with ye!
/s
She is white. She will get due process, not like those brown people with tattoos.
The woman titled the fundraiser: ‘Help me protect my family’
Won’t someone please think of the children!
But not those children
Shiloh Hendrix called an autistic 5 year old n***** and got $600,000.
Edit: the NAACP opened a fund raiser for the child and the family request it be taken down.
Wait, the family of the child or Shiloh’s family?
I assumed siloh, let me check.
Update-looks like I’m mistaken. The family of the child. They have a statement prepared to deliver on May 7. So I guess we wait and see what’s the deal.
Okay, cool, I only ask because one is kind of understandable if you just want to be left tf alone and never asked for any of this. The other is… Bruh.
It’d be such a shame if the people donating accidentally had their info revealed to their employers.
I guess? Who do you think their bosses donated to? They might just get a wink and nod.
Sometimes I think for a half a million bucks I could do some awful shit. But I don’t think I could do that.
Sounds like a weird meatloaf cover.
Weird Al? No, just Strange Bob.
My main takeaway from this was that someone is using a videotape camcorder in 2025.
Videotaped?
Yeah, they finally improved on the phonograph.
Videotaped, but without the tape? It’s magic! 😱
May she trip on a Lego and send her child to a less trashy parent
Are these the teachings of god?
If you grew up in the south, yes.
