i grew up thinking it was perfectly fine and normal that we didn't really have enough to eat and that my shoes had holes in them at the toe for a year before I could get new ones because that's just the way god wanted us to live

it was okay that all my friends had all the latest toys and gadgets and could go pay to have their hair cut, and they always had new clothes and shoes and i didn't because in the end i would be in heaven and have everything i needed, and plus we were middle class

man... that was some potent ass copium

The DPRK is about to invade Israel and there's no way you can convince me otherwise

Been planning for retirement. The idea that I’m going to survive that long feels like copium. That I’m not only make it through Trump’s America and whatever comes next without being wrongly imprisoned or killed, but am also going to be one of the people who survives climate change because I live next to a large body of fresh water and the rich fucks who survive are going to need townies as their workers. And that the stock market I’m required to invest in to save for retirement will still exist and I’ll still be allowed to retire at all. Some privileged shit on top of being cope. Feels real bleak.

Bernie is definitely going to to win this time there's no way he can lose super Tuesday to Democrats again

I used to be a chronic copium huffer then I did 6 months in doomer rehab and now I'm sober.

I was Yang Gang in 2020.

Andrew Yang is probably one of the least bad capitalists. I read his books so I gave him a fair shot, but UBI is prolonging the inevitable.

What’s a real shame is he seems pretty honest about his intentions, and there doesn’t seem to be much evil in his intent, so to me he’s a victim of capitalist realism like many others. This begs the question, how many s are also permacopers?

There was that week where it seemed like a cheap and easy super conductor was possible with lead and copper.

I was a little bit sceptical but I got quite a bit of hope up because it seemed like that would help with climate change a bunch. And it wasn't possible...

corbyn :(

that living after [personal tragedy] would be worthwhile. holy shit it's been worse than i could've imagined.

Russia beating Kiev in a couple weeks i really did believe manouver warfare wasn't dead

Bernie 2016 and, the one that hurts the most, 2020. When he was on the upswing, I confidently proclaimed we’d have affordable housing and healthcare in a few years.

the extremely telegraphed B2 movements had to be a bluff. idk if i really believed that but fuck

hillary vs bush, #resist with Keith Olbermann, Bernie having a shot after Iowa, Russia ukraine war being a bunch of posturing, etc.

Thats the beauty of me being a grumpy old fuck..... I'm all out of those now

The Albanese government not being shit. Twice.

And they're not as shit as a liberal government, sure. Compared to Dutton I'll take anything. But they effectively destroyed unions in Australia. Not straight away, but as long as what they're doing to the CFMEU can happen to other unions, they're all effectively powerless.

I was huffing ultraleft copium about "not real socialism" and that marxism is outdated and dead, for a while. Although for my defense i must say that i live in Polish information bubble where marxist and especially ML thought is completely eradicated.
