Also, he needs it to be transactional. He can’t fathom a world where he just does something that would be good for people and hope that they notice. He could have done tons of infrastructure and other policies and plastered his name on them, but he didn’t. Where’s the domination in that?

It’s also why he has no good answer to, “why not just give that money now?” He could just give it and get some good press, but he won’t because he HAS to be empowered to make or threaten harm. It’s like it’s the only way he can feel alive.

You might be thinking, “bribing the American people to vote for him isn’t one of those two.” Keep in mind that this “offer” is conditional. It’s still a threat to harm by withholding promised money mixed with some claim that his deadbeat-ness is the Democrats’ fault.

You don't get alt right/manosphere without what happened to alt rock radio & its bro-ification (remember Mancow?), and that was made possible by a combo of the telecom act & the way the welfare & immigration acts reshaped white masculinity

We can make a society that exists for the care and thriving and enjoyment of the actual people rather than for the enrichment of parasitical greed freaks and the comfort of creepy-minded religious bigots. All that's needed is for more people to stop fearing good things and start fighting for them.

Also, there’s prolly gonna be some discussion now that FIFA VAR’d that meatwall goal.
