"These are the people to whom we have handed the steering wheel of human destiny. A bunch of emotionally stunted manchilds who are drowning in a nonstop internal deluge of shame and inadequacy and unresolved mommy issues."
Tech plutocrats are the high-budget expression of the “everyone is twelve now” theory. You wanna go to Mars? Of course you do, you’re twelve. You think you can merge your consciousness with machinery and unlock the key to immortality? Hell yeah my twelve year-old homie. You’re gonna invent an Artificial Superintelligence God who will solve all our problems? Bless your twelve year-old heart. Their visions for the future of humanity are never particularly wise or intelligent. It’s just a bunch of drugged-up rich guys using their vast fortunes to chart a course for our species that would sound totally awesome to the average preadolescent boy. You ever hear Jeff Bezos’ vision for our future? He brings it up once in a while. He wants to ship most of humanity offworld and have us all living in these giant spinning space tubes called O’Neill cylinders while only a few lucky individuals get to remain on humanity’s home planet. It’s true, look it up. This is the best these freaks can come up with. Transhumanism. Space colonization. Virtual reality. ASI. Immortality. These are all visions which revolve around escape. Escaping from the human condition. Escaping from our planet. Escaping from reality. Running, running, running away in a mad scramble to get anywhere but here. These aren’t positive visions for the future, they’re signs of deep psychological immaturity. They’re the symptoms of an inability to be with what is. Whenever you hear these guys bloviating about transcending our humanity or colonizing space they’re just telling you they’ve got a lot of unresolved early childhood trauma which led them to construct an entire personality around avoidance and restlessness. They don’t know how to be at peace. Not with themselves, and not with the world. These are very emotionally primitive individuals. They are not wise. They are not kind. They are not happy. They are not even particularly smart. They just have a particular kind of cleverness which has enabled them to succeed as parasitic middle men siphoning wealth off of other people’s labor in the specific type of dystopia we happen to live in. And yet these are the men we’re allowing to rule our world. These are the people to whom we have handed the steering wheel of human destiny. A bunch of emotionally stunted manchilds who are drowning in a nonstop internal deluge of shame and inadequacy and unresolved mommy issues. These are the men who have become our kings, because capitalism elevates whoever is wounded enough to do whatever it takes to claw their way to the top. You trust these guys to shepherd us into a healthy world? They can't even be here now, at peace in their own skins. This isn’t going to cut it. We can’t led these infantile narcissists lead humanity into the future. We’ve got to create a better system for ourselves.

Hilarious that the hasbara line of the day is “Macklemore should be making the Palestinians pay for their own benefit concert.”
Hilarious that Palestine is not on the list of locations

NYT now confirms it. He knew about Oct 7. He stood down IDF posts. He moved a festival of kids a mile from the unmanned IDF line. He slaughtered his own people to justify slaughtering 100 times more Palestinians. It was all by design. An evil beyond imagination
The NYT confirms Haaretz's report that Benjamin Netanyahu was secretly warned before Oct. 7, 2023 by the Emirati president that Hamas planned a major attack, per 2 sources The warning was not shared with Israeli security chiefs, per 5 ex-officials nytimes.com/2026/09/25/world…

It’s the musical medium that allows artists to cram the maximum number of words possible into their lyrics and people are still like “Only rap if you have absolutely nothing of substance to say.”
HipHop music is one of the most political art-forms ever. When people say "just rap, we don't want politics from rappers" then HipHop has never been for you.

I like it when leftists tell other leftists "Hey mate, I disagree with your opinion on this one point" instead of reflexively reaching for "fascist" or whatever's the maximum-impact pejorative they can think of. Being able to simply disagree is a sign of basic emotional maturity.

Jewish Zionists are always going "I was hate crimed, someone screamed Heil Hitler at my synagogue" but whenever they post actual video footage of an "antisemitic incident" it's always like some angry Israeli filming a Burger King employee telling them Free Palestine.

It’s good to enrage Zionists. It’s a sign of virtue to be despised by the supporters of a genocidal apartheid state. Make them furious. Ruin their day.

The US trying to stage yet another Brazil coup
Breaking: US company Meta has, without explanation, disabled Lula’s Instagram and Facebook profiles’ ability to run ads, 10 days from election. The President’s campaign has complained and threatened legal action, citing this as another example of US interference and manipulation.

I've never understood who this is meant to appeal to. Who do Zionists think they're winning over with this "Israeli lives are worth way more per capita" schtick?
Benjamin Netanyahu says October 7th was the equivalent of "sixteen 9/11s." "Proportionately," the death of 1,200 Israelis is "equal to" the death of 40,000 Americans, he says.

No matter how many times I visit Israel it will still be a fact that every major human rights group on earth says Israel is a genocidal apartheid state, including the Israeli human rights groups.
There are people who think about Israel every single day and have never been here. We admire the commitment, but at some point you should probably come see what all the fuss is about.

SO many quote tweets trying to spin “I’m holding some benefit concerts and giving away all the money” as some kind of cynical self-motivated plot.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at macklemore.com

Under Capitalism It's Legal For Employers To Steal From Employees We live in a tiered society where the people actually turning the wheels of civilization through their sweat and toil are legally inferior to the parasitic middle men who skim the profits from their labor.
