Isn’t it just pretty much this map

Yeah but they could just like, Google why vuvuzuela has no iPhones and think about it for one minute instead of acting on trauma instincts like some animal the way you assume they do.

Maybe I’m taking it a bit personally because I’m a Russian immigrant to the UK, I don’t support Putin, and I’m not a fan of the USSR, but I do support socialism because I’m not a moron and have at least some capacity for critical thinking so I can differentiate between different things.

But even with all that, if they think that Kamala Harris is in any way representing socialism then they’re insane and believe cockamamie nonsense either way.

The only thing that’s clear is that democracy is showing itself to be a failure right now, having wilfully ignorant and the mentally deranged dictate the course of society was an insane idea in retrospect, all just for the vague possibility of being able to vote them out if they ruin everything which won’t happen with capitalist media who exist to protect the asset class at all costs.

I’m not sure of the solution.

Trust me you’re already a recluse relative to most by being on here. If you observe what passes for a “normal” “person” these days, they will endlessly scroll algorithmic ai-generated incomprehensible horrors on Tiktok, then purchase something through an ad from temu, they do not think. They are gone.

But once you stop worrying that you may be saying no to experiences too much purely on principle, then you’re free to go even further and eradicate surveillance capitalism influence from your life altogether. One day you can ascend to even go smartphone-free.
