lot of people voted Dem in the previous election and they didnt really do shit to prevent any of this or even reverse the damage Trump already caused. the president was literally falling asleep. their most zealous position was supporting Israel's Trump-aligned RW govt doing genocidal mass murder

theres a highly significant chance as an American that there are no options in elections that really even come close representing your political beliefs. it is definitely lib bullshit to pretend that means you support Trump

if you want to convince people to vote thats well & good, but there are like 30 states where the statement in that post isnt true. scolding ppl for not having options that represent them is not the same as encouraging voting

we shouldnt even be calling most of this shit AI, it was a marketing term to begin with. ~35% of America is gonna be acting like its punk rock to call it AI just bc Trump's brains are leaking out of his ears

this is basically the political version of that thing companies do where they offer something at 300% the price so you feel better about paying 200%, now all the libs are gonna think calling chatbots AI is part of the culture war

expecting people to use language differently is a very common everyday occurrence. trying to enforce the personal language preferences of an extremely stupid man with the power of the state is a different problem.

When Trump dies on the toilet the whole of US media will still be a toxic wasteland of far right wing Zionist billionaires with their fingers on the scale of American culture & politics

Warner & Discovery should have never been allowed to merge and now like 60% of US media is in the hands of a RW nepo baby billionaire. and the Democratic Governor of CA helped make sure it happened. we're entering the end stages of US capitalism. elections cant fix this.

every Palestinian isnt a homophobe bc Muslim. If we're gonna go there then lets have a chat about ultraorthodox Jews and the role they play in a Zionist society. When the IDF tries to pinkwash mass murder do you think they support that? Women are barely even people to them.

its also just the Zionist being racist. there's lots of gay Palestinians and the thing they most have to fear is being murdered by Israel

Its gonna take a will, a social consciousness and a level of political action commensurate to the machinations of the villains who have been working since the 70s & 80s to regress society back to a combination of Jim Crow & robber barons on a national scale. not looking good so far

Who in the political class do you trust to even meaningfully begin the process of undoing the massive reactionary institutional changes rather than exploiting it as an opportunity for more center-right authoritarianism, keeping it all in place for the next fascist demagogue? Thats our problem now

mediumvillain @mediumvillain.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
right, but the question is how do you stop it when the legal enforcement mechanisms have already been bought? when the entire basis of the legal systen is wealth? when institutions have been crowded with RW activists & out-and-out fascists ignoring law in favor of corruption & white supremacy?

And for way too many people in America & Europe the whole concept of Israel & Palestine boils down to either a) Jewish people are more assimilated and I still view Arabs/Muslims as Others so that's that, or b) (mostly on the far right but not exclusively) Jews are the Ultimate Other

thats the journey a lot of liberals have been on the last few years, from being confronted with how genocide happens in broad daylight with our support. most of them wouldnt spare a negative thought for any specific group, but for a lot of others it comes to which religious/ethnic bias is stronger

mediumvillain @mediumvillain.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It's convoluted not bc the core humanitarian principles are not simple & straightforward but bc the defense mechanisms of the Zionist movement seem contradictory & are not well-understood by western liberals, or have been ignored/handwaved for generations out of apathy for the lives of Arab Muslims

when no matter what you do you will be called antisemitic in bad faith it makes it easier for antisemites to work their way in, which is part of the purpose of the Zionist strategy; the proliferation of antisemitism & the perception of it benefits a state based on violent authoritarian "protection"
100
mediumvillain @mediumvillain.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
if youre not motivated by antisemitism it should, in theory, be fairly easy to not stumble into it. but Zionism is a political movement defined by its desire for ethnic cleansing, not by representing Jewish people, that demonizes all of its critics as antisemites to muddy the waters.

this is basically the entire explanation for Western liberal parties like Democrats & Labour. when the system is tested they fail catastrophically, and when asked to reconsider their failure they double & triple down & scapegoat anyone who notices & criticizes their failure

ppl must decide that if the law doesnt apply anymore then we're going to enforce things the way we want them to be, like they've done purely for the sake of corruption, self-enrichment & performative racism & cruelty, or things will keep slipping to the far right faster, slower, then faster again

mediumvillain @mediumvillain.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
you cant simply fix things legally if the law doesnt apply & isnt enforced. you cant win elections if they rig the elections & dismantle the electoral system. and you certainly cant do any of it when nearly the entire political class is corrupt & intransigent.

mediumvillain @mediumvillain.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
the issue is that when one side of a political conflict escalates to violent authoritarianism and shameless corruption while dismissing laws & norms, the resistance has to be equal & opposite or it has no hope of success.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

the creator did some interviews this week about how he's finally allowed to talk about it bc Disney had asked him not to use words like fascism during the press tour, which is funny bc the ppl playing the fascist characters were on the press tour like "oh yeah, shes a horrible fascist hog"

Disney has been trying to strangle the power out of entertainment and make it all unchallenging fluff, but then an Andor gets through which is just a meditation on how normal people defeat fascism
