Political Memes

Shart of the deal.

Calling the GCC the Gulf Coast Coalition is just chef's kiss. JD is not a bright human being.

Propaganda, it works

You aren't seeing the opinions of the average American. The average American has no idea what is going on until they ask their coworker why the gas prices are so high. The average American has a coworker that is happy to inform them of the mainstream media narrative, basically telling them that all they can do is "vote". Occasionally getting a MAGA perspective depending on where they live.

But, they won't get pushed into organizing and, quite frankly, they don't have the time or money to even start.

The average American then thinks "hmmm, that doesn't sound right but I don't have time or energy to investigate that".

They move on with their day so long as they can stay above water by leveraging credit card debt and whatever amount of gig work they can fit in. On the rare days they have off work they will recover by either scrolling videos or going out with friends that are just as unknowledgeable about the world as they are. Maybe some of them get a short explanation of the gas prices from a video they watched.

The average American needs their working class conditions improved to give them time to educate themselves. "Wow, they pay for child care in New York City? Thats what socialism is?". This is our one last hope at educating the masses. I don't think electing 100 Mamdani's will change our system from within. But, it is however, the best way to educate and show the population what political power that favors the working class can do.

Either that or, the entire countries material conditions need to decline so drastically that the population is forced into action because they literally can't afford bread to eat. And that will result in higher degrees of fascism as the capitalist state defends itself; and "century of humiliation" levels of conditions will result in America after our empire lashes out to the rest of the world.

Many people don't think. They feel.

When their in-group is going along with something, they go along with it, too. Feels good to them. It's a high.

That's it. That's the problem. It's a big part of why republicans vote against their real-life interests. They're more concerned with chasing the high of being part of the in-group. So, sure, Trump might lose a lot of money and influence and everything, but he's our tribe-mate!

It's stupid. Worse then children. Worse than dogs.

What the fuck is mission tacomplished even?

Yes, and we spent probably even more than that in the first place to cause the damage we are now agreeing to pay for.

No matter how you look at it, the Trump administration blew hundreds of billions in taxpayer money of their own volition, to ultimately get Iran in a comparatively stronger position (note the agreement says the Straight will operate on Iran's terms, so... probably they get to levy a toll now). They don't agree to anything on any military draw down and only agreed to the same thing they agreed to with Obama...

All Trump had to do was to just do nothing after the deal under Obama and US objectives would have been closer to being met for free.

Until the instant Donald Trump thinks reneging on the agreement will benefit him.

Which wouldn't need to be paid if the moron hadn't embarked on a pointless war. Is anyone here mad about only the money? Highly doubt it.

Don't forget, it's their money we've held.

Not yet. Have to perfect the robot worker first. They push too hard and people will push back, and they know this. Fortunately people are also good at infighting among themselves and losing focus, which is what they fuel a lot.

That sleepy pedophile is ostensibly in control of the most powerful military on the planet by an order of magnitude, so it's not inaccurate, just unfortunate.
