    Everything is online. Nobody knows you knocked on doors in the neighborhood while people were eating supper. After supper people are logging into their favorite social media and engaging with content. Content which right now is leaning heavily on the right and affecting generations. I’ll argue all day that everything you said is exactly what the left is fucked and totally losing everything for the foreseeable future.

    Zohran I hope to God succeeds but he’s going to need so much support online and the left removed themselves from every platform, they have no connection, structure or voices to organize online, they have no tools to assist. They all hate AI. They think every platforms is racist except fully leftist ones.

    TPUSA, Heritage foundation, Cato institute, Koch Bros fucking UFC and barstool sports are all going to really amplify and sabotage Zohran. They have so many ins with business and media, they’ll all self sandstone sabotage to make sure the numbers can be amplified ONLINE to as many people as possible. The left is so far behind the times, they have no ability to counter this very foreseeable future.

    Even better to my point then that the right was more effective with using it. Something about the left is super passive which is weird because they’re so loud with what they’ll do one day if ever they had the opportunity to do something about the thing they’re really mad at for that day they’ll totally do it.

    Holy fuck this is spot on.

    I’m so tired of hearing “they’re so racist”

    It’s such a terminating clause. Like we don’t need to actually understand at a deeper level why guy born a Mexican, still is Mexican but is voting for Trump because… They’re racist against Mexicans???

    I’m so done with the left. It’s so tiring. They even adapt their messages. I can go back 15 years and still see the exact comments of “they’re racist” while right wing dominate spaces seem to come up with new things every 6 months. Soy cuck Wojack probably conjures up a whole era all our minds right? What about “man they’re racist” what does that conjure up?

    The left should lose the right to call anyone low information voters until they sort themselves the fuck out







  • I don’t think people, especially younger ones, understand why so many of us were drawn to the early internet. It was a new frontier, free from advertising and corporate influence. People just shared things. There was this powerful push to end information scarcity to make knowledge, art, and ideas freely accessible, without paywalls or subscriptions. There were 3 hour podcasts with people actually interested in sharing things with no fucking ads. The idea of making any money with any of it was silly stuff. Everybody thought it was silly when we started seeing ads show up. It was laughed at and people were embarrassed to do ad reads. But we ignored it. We’d soon find out how tragic a mistake that was.

    Then came the musicians, the content creators, the artists and all their lawyers and with them, the advertisers. We lost everything. What started as a space for free expression was gradually reshaped into a sanitized, corporate-friendly landscape. Influencers played a huge role in that shift. They helped turn the internet into a marketplace, paving the way for brands to blend seamlessly into our lives under the guise of content. They helped create the enshitification we have today. Without them, the advertisers and lawyers wouldnt have been able to profit.

    I genuinely hate what influencers have done to the internet. They don’t get enough blame.
