  • the same % of Americans have always been stupid. but for a long time it was honest ignorance that made them pliable, in small communities, to conmen… who quickly worked their con and moved on to the next town.

    But thanks to the internet connecting disparate crazies, and elevating crazy to a mainstream voice, and then hostile foreign powers elevating that further on social media thanks to the internet, giving it a heavy dose of false legitimacy… its devolved into a unique bouillabaisse of cromagnum hyper-idiocy the likes the world probably has never seen before.

    and thank to isolated media bubbles like Fox News and OANN, it will only continue to get worse and worse.


  • House quality is already in the shitter. Hell, not even the shitter, its down the pipe and in the septic tank.

    and its not cause home owners doing repairs.

    Its cause developers spinning up an LLC, buying a plot of land, shitting out a development of 300+ homes in less than 6 months that just barely meet the barest minimum of code (and anything that doesnt typically given a slide thanks to a few greased palms), just to sell all the homes in the mad housing rush before shutting down the LLC and walking away with all the money and no liability on the terrible houses they’ve built that arent suitable for living in.

    CyFy on youtube highlights the problem a lot (and how hard the builders and bribed inspectors go after him for threatening the grift).

    And I have own personal experience witnessing more well off friends struggle with newly bought houses being built like shit at best, to needing 10s, to 100s of thousands of dollars in repairs less than a year after purchase at worse.








  • most websites like youtube/twitter/facebook/etc/etc are all heavily pro-right wing.

    They’ve claimed in the past they don’t want to appear “biased” by cracking down on right wingers for rules violations. but honestly, it was obviously bullshit since they had no problem with “biased” appearances when cracking down on any other group, and often for far far far less than what right wingers routinely get away with.

    Right wingers are where their bread is buttered. They buy more ads, they run less adblocking, and they click more ads.
