when i castigate #nonvoters i hear:
"you're turning them off"
fuck that
if someone lacks the capacity to see the stakes, that's on them
it's not our job to soothe and trick them with emotional appeal. that's #MAGA tactics
what's happening now is they are learning consequences
the hard way
*even then* they will shift blame. never taking ownership of their #alienation
the problem is them
not how insensitive we are to their fucking precious feelings
#vote #midterms2026 you fucks

everyone is aware of the #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop on the right in the #West
not many want to admit the troll farm psyop also working the far left
on the right, they amplify #hate
on the left, they amplify #alienation
well, i speak from the #American perspective
in #Europe you're far more aware of the two prong approach to divide and conquer
@FranceskaMann @ohmu @Kierkegaanks
certainly
#plutocracy amplifies #hate on the right and #alienation on the left on purpose
the problem is we live in a #democracy (if we can keep it) so the average person matters. their choice to #vote #maga, or not vote matters
and the reasons they don't vote or vote maga is the #plutocrat influence machine, yes
but *why* does that influence work?
#socialMedia and #media #psyop work because hate and alienation is organic
we need to fight that too

A dose of nourishing if unpopular honesty, for those dying of lies.

#Neoliberalism and #neofeudalism are the dominant ideologies of the current era. Both are ultimately predicated on strategies and tactics that can be summarized as, "divide and conquer".
I do not think it is a stretch to posit that the number one problem that is precipitating the existential crisis that all of humanity is facing is the #alienation and #loneliness that these ideologies are designed to inculcate.

Im throwing a #birthday #party. It looks like only my partner is coming.
Im literally throwing a party and no one is coming.
My #loneliness and #alienation is now a cliche.
I held it a week early to avoid conflicting with inauguration and associated protests.
I #amreading EMBRACING ALIENATION by #ToddMcGowan. Only a few pages in, and he's blowing my mind in some of the best ways possible.
