it's horrible and bitter so only hipsters drink it (argentinians drink it too but it's some sort of masochistic national symbol) and it's a special brand of unauthentic if you buy it canned. actually i'm just guessing i have no idea what sort of stereotype these obscure wojaks are making fun of and tbh as a society we shouldn't be making more of them.

he literally said people have a moral obligation to not vote for Biden

chat did he say this, it seems to me that only democratic party insiders are the ones framing this in moral terms. conditioning your vote is really the only avenue you have (if you choose to stick to the electoral apparatus) to actually influence the agenda. do they know dems compromise with republicans all the time? if you forsake what little input you actually have and keep giving democrats carte blanche in every single election, you are pretty much just voting for the same republican agenda with a delayed timelapse for its execution.

At this point, does it even matter what their spin doctors and their strategic autopsies conclude? If an electoral system only presents two options against genocide: feverish support, or guilty complicitness then it's fucking useless, it belongs in the garbage. It sucks that it took me a genocide to really really recognize how useless partisan electoralism is, because it's hard to dispell the illusion that maybe it'll give you some crumbs if the right guy comes along. Nope, not even in the face of genocide will it cede an inch.

It's so funny to me that british cuisine is basically anything that is slapped together from the pantry

i mean while capitalism is certainly horrifying, you can understand its methods and material constraints and even study them and write a whole 3 tome book about how it instrumentalizes life itself. cosmic horror has a sublime trait to it, it's not just that the universe is cruel, is that its reasons why it subjects terror onto you are just beyond your grasp, and so you imagine that maybe there's even more unfathomable cruelty on its ways that you haven't been subjected to yet. in lacanian terms, it's an otherness so radical it resists symbolization, in a way capitalism just does not. only someone as racist as lovecraft, so neurotically terrified of the abstract otherness of foreign people could've authored this cthulhu crap lol. i think our lives are just becoming very secular and cynical. maybe materialism has really taken over everything, even over the hapless mystics who have turned spirituality into a commodity, and we can wonder no more. in itself a horror, yes.
