And we still suck the systems dick and choke on their cum why?
Oh yeah, Netflix, marvel, Pokemon, shitty music, meta, anything that datamines, and a bunch of other bullshit because we don't know how to sit with ourselves or the universe. It's so worth it especially since we are allowed to protest and pretend we are doing something good and then go back to being the problem.
The people we pay own the control. We have no right to be angry if we are part of it and consuming it.
The vast majority, at least here in the US, only have meaningful power locally, and locally we get some great shit done. In my city we got permits moratorium-ed for five years for ICE and have had three streetcar extensions in the last ten years. (And our streetcar is free.)
Nothing like that is possible at the federal or state level. None of it.
Bernie got close but, as Dems and Republicans are trying to do to all the DSA's, he got swift-boated and his primary rigged. I think everyone has the right to be angry when we're ultimately powerless to change the course of our country in a meaningful way.

And now they're going to join up with Republicans to make sure there's a fucking data center in every poor neighborhood in the US.

These posts are dumb and express a misunderstanding of history or what liberalism means.

The only ones with a misunderstanding of history would be the liberal that can't remember events day to day, much less over decades.

Local isnt mattering anymore, we are seeing this with data centers being given the green light despite local opposition. None of them care
