just because antisemitism has been weaponized by israel doesnt mean it's fake. and finkelstein, the man you cite, just went on a podcast with a holocaust denier. fuck off

person who is confused why they dont get invited to gay guy house parties voice:

the usual dem strategy of chasing the middle never worked most obviously because the middle kept tracking right, but also because there's no such thing as a middle! you create the reality you want people to support! dont chase their fleeting sensibilities!

a good lesson from this campaign is "dont believe what ur enemy says." voters will vote for trump and then mamdani. the elite will say they're fleeing and then stay. libs will freak out and then support. take a strong position; bring people to you, not the other way around

Every time I see an interview with a Cuomo supporter it’s someone with the accent of bernie sanders being like “hes a despicable grandma murdering sexual assaulting bastard and I wish he would die. But he has experience!”

wrote about how recent stats about a steep decline in drinking are nothing to celebrate, because they're basically just a sign that everyone is more lonely. for @GQMagazine

it turns out a big part of life and certainly a big part of being a leftist is OWING other people things. we need to owe people more things. we need to realize excusing your own agency is a psyop to make successful relations with others impossible. things being ur fault is good.

…which gets us to the prototypical “sock/dishes” scenario: someone who uses therapy language to deny their own agency to do ANYTHING. but sock is an attractive way to obfuscate that all of us, whether sock or not, have begun to do this in less obvious and more acceptable ways

and semi tangentially: i think a big problem on “the left” right now is a conceptualization of its constituency as people without agency. this explains why this kind of instagram therapy is so liberal coded. we’ve confused calling out oppression with an abdication of our agency.

i always joke going thru psychoanalysis made me more conservative. what i realize i’ve meant by that is that it taught me i have agency and thus *blame* in almost every situation. it seems most therapy these days is primarily concerned with abdicating all blame for its subject

instagram therapy reel 1: he can’t be in a successful relationship because he’s a narcissist psychopath. instagram therapy reel 2: you can’t be in a successful relationship because you have trauma and have only met narcissist psychopaths 🥰

seriously i wonder what the effect of everyone individually being told everyone else is the problem does to a society lol. like u and ur ex are both agreeing with the same reel telling u the other one is the problem. that at a societal level can’t be good ….

just watched a bunch of instagram therapy reels. apparently everything is everyone else’s fault and even if they’re dealing with attachment issues or trauma it’s their fault they haven’t solved it but it’s not my fault i haven’t solved mine because i am perfect thank god!!!
