The thing that always gets me is these asshole billionaires have convinced us that our neighbors are the problem while they reach into our pockets and rob us blind, all rhe whole spending billions of dollars a year on media propaganda to convince us these idiotic social issues are the problem when really, this is a class war. Always has been.
It’s my biggest gripe with political dialogue these days. People are extremely tribal and close themselves off from their neighbors, families, friends, over ideology, relying on their heavily curated bubble to inform them of what the other side is saying/doing.
I try to call it out when I see it, but it feels like a losing battle. Your neighbors aren’t your enemy. Isolating ourselves only benefits the “ruling class”, or whatever we want to call it.
It’s hard to be friendly to MAGA hat wearing coworkers when they casually throw in an open borders joke while you personally know someone who’s undocumented but has been living here for decades. It’s worth keeping a little distance from those people.
This. I mean, you can find common ground with these people, but it’s WORK! It’s constant, it’s 100% on you, and if you touch any of the programmed hot buttons, you’re back to square one. Some of them are so deep in the matrix that they’re living in an entirely different reality. I’ve unironically had an easier time talking with people about all the different species of ET that have supposedly visited earth. 10/10 would hang with the Pleiadeians before MAGAs.
Im not going to be friends with someone that calls me a fucking groomer because I am trans. Sorry that its so hard for you to understand that some people have skin in the game and can’t make marry with people that have actively caused harm to them.

That’s why the propaganda is so effective. If we cut off the head.of fox News, OANN, etc. These people wpuldnt be like this.
It’s hilarious that literally minutes after your comment someone replied with, “BUT MY NEIGHBOR REALLY IS THE ENEMY!”

But also the neighbour’s a bit of a cock.
They donate to both parties.
