Tyler Linderbaum didn't just blow the center market open (Creed Humphrey $18M), he's now the top-paid interior lineman by a pretty wide margin by AAV
Linderbaum $27M
Tyler Smith $24M
Trey Smith $23.5M
He didn't just reset the market, he fucking launched it
KOBE(Coby)!
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
"Politicians Hide themselves away, they only started the war. why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor."
"You're gonna die, gonna die, gonna die for your government! Die for your country, that's shit!"
"Business men they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth. None will level on the line. Nobody offered his word"
"Murder for freedom, the stab in the back. Women and children are cowards, Attack!"
"Why don't princes fight the war? why do they always send the poor?"
This, right here, has become the only thing I talk about when it comes to politics
Because every time someone points something out, my brain immediately connects it back to this
So, if it's not obv, I'm with the OP on this
Some of us have known about this for years
Some have known for decades (definitely not me)
We shouldn't have needed trumps blatant corruption or the Epstein files exposing world capital interests to the masses to see this
But now that it's blatantly obv, please, please, WAKE UP!
But don't worry, they'll pretend like they care for minorities
Just ignore the crime act and the dragging of feet when they knew they needed to codify roe v wade
Cause at least they say the right thing, right? (Primary every fucking centerist neolib for an actual progressive for the love of god)
This is also why the established dems tells us we don't know what we want, they do, so be grateful they gave us.. uhm... what have they given us?
Oh right...
the repeal of glass-steigal and rise of big banks
And the rise of the techno feudalist as we turned a blind eye in anti trust violations
Your insane right wing uncle or bat shit crazy religious neighbor is not like that because they chose to be
They're like that because they were groomed into it without them knowing
4chans Pol and Musk's twitter were obviously created to target those that have now basically become the Incels of the world
Until we realize this is a class issue (the billionaire elite capital class of the world - or Epstein class if you will - and everyone else)
Shit will continue to get worse
Shit even the CIA deployed Protestant SIL missionaries to preach basically prosperity Bible bs in Latin America to combat the rise of anti-us anti-imperialist sentiment that was growing from the education their impoverished working class gained from liberation theology
North-South Schism led to the elites of the confederacy ingraining their own beliefs into the Protestant churches of the South and corrupted/enriched their now slave owning pastors
Those churches also funded Catholic Churches in the South during the civil war to gain political favor with them
Literally everything comes back to this
Even white nationalism is just a ploy to separate and control the working majority by indoctrinating communities into psuedo Christian beliefs or radical right online spheres (4chan Pol)
Then use that to exploit and control them
Green Day only playing songs off American Idiot
And then ending with American Idiot
Is absolutely poetic
At the same time, most media in the US will paint rural America as the heartland or some bs.
Vastly different pictures being painted for both that do not come anywhere near the truth and how integral each actually has been to this countries success since like the Industrial Revolution.
I'll throw Icky Thump by the white stripes in as a suggestion
But Prince's 1999 feels right
First one I thought of was:
"The sea is a good place to think of the future" by Los Campesinos!
"Heat Rash in the Shape of the Show me State" by the same band is also great with a long name but also has a different vibe
I'm sure I'm blanking on an obv one for actual favorite though
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
Quote overlaid over portrait: "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the US. We will destroy you from within." - Nikita Khrushchev January 18th, 1956
I think about this quote far more often than I should
And it feels all too relevant right now
Anyway, I'm no expert or pro
I recently learned that last tip was a thing from others
So I truly don't mean to come off like one but do want to pass what I can on
One more tip:
Try to look into who's being interviewed (esp by corp media)
They might pull the opposite and present someone as a "small business owner" for ex
They are technically that, but also could be a lot more than just that
Knowing more about them shapes/colors their opinion dramatically
I hate that I have to but I definitely need to add:
I didn't post this to fracture us
I did it to hopefully help us Sus out similar bs (even helping one person makes it worth it)
In the end our vote will be based on options
And I'd love a world with better options at every level in every race
It's just that, this type of tactic is deployed constantly for this exact reason so... 🙃
Anyway, SOAD said it best:
"THEYRE TRYING TO BUILD A PRISON" (detention center)
youtu.be/OEJx9OulL-I?...
Shit, most lobbyist are former congressional members because they're allowed to be on the floor when the house is in session
Might be that or leadership directing the narrative
Either way, there's a POTENTIAL motive
I say potential cause, well, idk
It legit could be incompetence
There's corporate influence behind the scenes that most aren't gonna account for
Remember that the detention centers are ran by privately owned corporations contracted by DHS
Lobbying 101 bb
If there's money interest, they're all interested (at least most that are neolib and to their right)
To be clear: I do not fault the host here, they're deferring to the authority for a legitimate reason (they may not know enough to push back and are trusting the expert)
And why shouldn't they trust an... established dem... shit...
Right.. same reason we're mad at "Chuck the Schmuck" Schumer
This is different than someone not having an answer ready but also admitting they're not sure while framing their answer similarly
It's the setup that makes it feel more like them turning a blind eye to it than them being unaware of it
The setup makes it feel malicious (trust me bro vibes)
By somehow not knowing this, assumes the opposite must be true of the anecdotal example they used to assure us "they understand it might be nuanced" (or that we'd have no border/immigration enforcement)
And gives us a much worse middle ground than literally just doing what we did pre-bush
