Acceptance and absolution for being relentlessly childish assholes is the main lure of right-wing politics.
This is the entirety of the intellectual dark web, MAHA people, and reactionary centrists. The right is very good at absorbing the people that get called out on their bullshit in respectable circles, and has an entire infrastructure for letting them air their grievances and pivot to grifting.
when i said 'let’s circle back to that' i more meant, like, in a different era, a different city, another life. let's circle back to it when we're old, or maybe when we're young again...we'll circle back in vienna, or in cairo, or in those slender black cat streets of paris, streetlamps and gossip
This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense
“You have to give up your privacy & anonymity online because there’s just nothing we can do about the open web getting bait-and-switched into an unregulated global social experiment that gamifies the worst behaviors of humanity for the profit of two billionaire freaks” is just not a great pitch.
They also deeply, DEEPLY envy the monopoly on attention places like Hollywood and the mainstream music and publishing industrie have. Scratch the surface of many right-wing influencers, and you'll find an failed comedian/actor/author/screenwriter/etc.
Ed Burmila@edburmila.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe thing about right wingers “entertainment” - Trump events, alternative halftime shows, their movies, their “comedians” - is that it’s so bad that even right wingers don’t want to endure it. They want it to exist, just to Trigger Libs. But they don’t want to sit through it. They know what it is.
in fact i think the huge push for AI in creative industries is part of this- AI results in a flood of garbage that means nobody can stick out without paying to promote their stuff, essentially, which gets rid of one of the last worlds where class mobility was in *any sense* possible

for some reason I read the excerpt of JD Vance’s book in USA Today but I was rewarded by this being the ad at the end

WTF... Devin Vassell started his shooting motion before the ball got to him
Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.
It really is no mystery why conservatives like this guy. He's made a mockery of all their stated policy principles, but none of them ever had any real policy principles anyway! They see themselves in him: seething. Whiny. Endlessly aggrieved. That's the core of it all.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.
