    I think the people in power will make sure they do everything they can to spin the narrative to make sure that we are divided and more so that Trump’s supporters continue believing he has their interests in mind.

    More ranting...

    They (the rich and complicit) will always make us (working people) out to be the enemy just as how media has continued to make China and Russia the enemy of the world–when clearly, and how it’s been made so evidently clear, the US is just as bad. Committing war crimes in Venezuela? Supporting Isreal-led genocide? Really, it’s the people in power at each of these “super powers” that are corrupt and deserve to be removed.

    Why the hell did the guy from El Salvador kiss Trump’s ass for the mega prison? Obviously corrupt/collusion happening there. They’re so stuck up their own ass that they can’t see beyond their fantasy. They literally have a god complex and actively believe they can rule the world.

    It’s these people that should be removed, not us. We did nothing wrong, but they insist that we should be deported? Put in jail? Killed by pawns like I.C.E.? Killed on a boat? Killed by racist shitheads?

    All we have to do is march across DC and force them to resign. Why can we waste so much time “going on vacation” and doing other mundane things like joining competitions but we can’t all just in one fell swoop march at the capitol? The news and politicians painted a bad picture about it but at least the misguided Trump supporters had the balls to DO something about it. Even though they were doing so in bad faith and on the wrong basis, they WENT there.

    Based on Trump’s actions in his term and the meek inaction of the supposed only other party (that don’t want to support ppl like Mamdani), I have no faith that anything significant will change even if somehow Trump is removed. Everything happening now is because people don’t want to make change happen. The corrupt 1% like Trump want to keep us enslaved and to keep inequality alive.

    Instead of playing chicken, waiting for some miracle to save us from this occupation of corrupt leaders, we the people should be taking action to remove them. Fuck the constitution and the state. History has shown the only real way to take out dumbasses in power but we’re all afraid to do anything about it. Even a soft revolt like leaking company secrets, trade secrets, and anything that would actually cause a stir is asking for too much apparently. Can’t even fucking hack the US to get Epstein files? Seriously? FFS

    I don’t think supporting the work really needs to be supporting the artist. I think some folks conflate the 2 and really don’t separate it. My personal take is, you can like something like a song or a painting, but that shouldn’t mean you then buy the CD or merch. I think once you do that, only at that point are you really supporting both.

    Rant

    I would take this a step further and question why everyone seems ok with idolizing and glorifying “celebrities” and people made famous by the media when in reality, you just don’t know these people really. People see what they are shown and just blindly assume these people are deserving of being given the benefit of the doubt.

    People take situations like what happened to Britney and Rhianna and where they rightfully feel for their story, they trust in these people. The same kind of people that where otherwise aren’t uncovered until something like Bill Cosby happens or Danny Masterson wake people up.

    People assume and choose to believe that celebrities of all people are innocent until proven guilty because they want to believe that such a thing exists. They project what they want themselves to be held unto even though it’s a twisted fantasy in their mind.

    Well, guess what people? House MD Pilot. Like it or not, that’s the reality.

    P.S. - I’m not saying Britney or Rhianna have lied about their particular news noted plights, however I also won’t pretend I know those people because of movie magic. Just how in the same vain, I selfishly agree with the notion that people who commit crimes as Cosby/Masterson have been convicted of deserve to rot in jail, I won’t say I haven’t seen money obstructing the law and even twisting it to suit the rich. Like it or not, that’s how it is. 🤷‍♂️
