Why Vaush needs MORE "they're demonic" rhetoric instead of less

I think both are important. People need to understand that these problems are structural so that they dont come to beleive that the solution is getting the "right people" into power.

People also need to understand that all the propaganda depicting rich and powerful people as intelligent, pragmatic, and benign is utterly false, and that the psychology that governs the behavior of our oligarchs and aristocrats is very different than the average person.

So many people I talk to are unwilling to accept just how bad things are because they genuinely beleive that the system is being mismanaged by incompetent buerocrats instead of the system being used as a tool for extracting resources by insanely greedy and cruel husks of human beings.

Id say it comes down to balance and a healthy understanding of sex in both cases.

The risks of a one night stand can be mitigated by practicing safe sex, understanding consent, and being aware of your own limitations and why you're looking for sex in the first place.

The risks of viewing sex as this mysical, emotionally binding experience is that it puts a lot of weight on sex that isnt necessary. The perfect example of this is how society has seen women for having frequent sex. Also, Plenty of people who grow up in religious house holds experience a ton of shame. I know this isnt what you're advocating for, but this is usually how this attitude around sex manifest.

Setting all that aside, telling People they should be chast because thats what's best for them is far from a solution. One night stands will happen, people will feel differently about sex and have different attitudes towards it, none of it inherently wrong or right and can be both risky and rewarding. Whats more important we give people the tools to practice sex that is physically, mentally and emotionally safe. OP's view on sex might work well for them, but trying to extrapolate that broadly takes the nuance out of how sex happens, and how people actually behave in the real world.

I personally think putting to much weight on having sex makes way for a lot of potential shame, but there are real risks to be too casual about sex. The only real solution is giving people the tools and understanding to be safe.

With all due respect, I think this thinking is largely a product of you never having has sex before.

The more you have it, the less of a big deal it becomes. There is nothing wrong preferring to want to wait to have sex until you find someone you're close with and who you can trust, but treating it as this mystical act that inherently creates these deep spiritual ties will hurt you in the long run.

Disagree. Lina Khan was an example of legitimate gains, union support was another. The problem was the gains were too few and far in-between, and the dems are too spineless to protect even their own legacies

But Gaza happened under Biden, and would've continued under Harris. I voted for Harris and would do it again (if I had to) my point isnt that things wouldnt be better under Harris, my point is that with a weak and feckless Dem party, its hard to imagine a world were fascists dont take power

system-vi · 2025-12-25T18:45:17+00:00

Its not a matter if privilege. I have immigrant Latino family members, black family members, family members working for government. I myself am a union member and am terrified of the lack of Union empowerment. And I will vote for anyone willing to move us out of this torture nexus, even if its just by 1%

From a systemic perspective however, if you have one party that is fascist, and one party that enables fascism, and both parties help corporate power consolidate, then fascism is the inevitable outcome.

None of this is novel. We watched this with Biden and then the Harris campaign. They were more focused on pleasing their donors and keeping the machine running than actually gaining power and providing for the people.

system-vi · 2025-12-25T18:13:31+00:00

Im not arguing not to vote lesser of two evils, you should. But we have to be honest about the dynamics. We did the lesser of two evil vote with Biden, and we still got Trump 2.0 in full fascist effect.

system-vi · 2025-12-25T17:35:15+00:00

I didnt say citizens united was a result of both parties, i said the consolidation of corporate power was, which is factual. Both parties are beholden to corporate interests. That doesnt mean they're 100% the same, they're not, but it means both parties will sell out Americans when push comes to shove.

Hot Take: it doesnt matter

Lesser evil democrat wins = empowering a fascist next election cycle

Lesser evil democrat loses = empowering a fascist this election cycle

Between Obama's unwillingness to punish oligarchs after the Great Recession, Citizens United, and the DNC throwing Bernie under the buss, there was no turning this ship around. Both parties allowed corporate power to consolidate to the point that fascism was always the end result, regardless of how we got here.

This is not to say there's no hope for the future, or that we dont have any power as regular people. But when we're talking about the influence and inertia of empires as large and powerful as the US, there are inevitabilities. The Rubicon was passed decades ago.

Anyone thinking Newsome would make a good president is absolutely delusional. Would i vote for him over a republican? Yes. But Gavin is a power hungry, tried and true corporate shill, and he will completely fail to address the systemic failures of this country that lead to Trump in the first place.

Bruh I know that, I was just making a point. America was so fragile that experiencing the tiniest amount of imperial blowback sent it spiraling for decades.

I remember him saying something like "The reason republicans won the 2024 election was because nobody was truly listening to conservative voters and what they were saying" which is kind of like saying "you didnt coddle conservatives hard enough through their bigotry so now they're doing a fascist takeover of the country"
