re hasan piker you know that particular brand of gen x nihilism that says you cant trust any politician? you know how that logic is flawed because it led to a specific subset of half assed trumpism? but also how at the same time the sentiment is materially true? I feel that way about streamers.

while the rams plan to ignore time and space was clearly flawed, i cant deny that its exactly what I would have done, which is a victory, in a way. in a much more real way, though, it is a total defeat.
