    More like you have a simple and easy to follow recipe for cake. You and a friend are following it dutifully. Just before the last step of the recipe your friend gets a call from their partner. Your friend then pushes you out of the kitchen and locks you out. The cake is served frosted in your friends freshly cut hair clippings.



  • This. They’re more widely pissed off at the status quo because they never had the future that millenials were tricked into believing but received scraps for. Now the scraps are all gone and gen z knows it.

    Socialists like Mamdani give an actual hopeful future with a real tangible promise.

    The ones who voted for trump didn’t have that at the time and were faced with forever status quo of insufficiently paid debt servitude, or try something. Even if it just breaks everything there’s at least a chance for a better future in the aftermath.

    I’m not saying there’s a shortage of fascist gen z, but there is absolutely a shortage of better options in politics. I hope we see more unapologetic socialists like Mamdani. I’m happy to bet the vote would swing amongst gen Z significantly even in deep right territory.

    Look I’m not defending much, but especially not what came after 2006. Shit went south but it wasn’t the humor that caused it. /pol/ was a mistake from the start. Gave the fash an unmoderated anonymous hang out. That spread after 2006.

    Moreso a means of communicating where everything is tongue in cheek and generally accepted as fake. It wasn’t perfect, don’t want a lot of it back, especially not the parts that eventually incubated fascists, but that’s her humor, and i understand it.

    She’s problematic in oh so many other ways. I’m not suggesting she’s a protagonist here lol
