I watch video games on twitch tv
I started buying Mamdani at 8%. I saw him as consistently second in the market despite low polls. Early on, I put in a lot of work studying his speeches and campaign, I realized this guy was brilliant, but a narcissistic sociopath. He knew exactly how to hide it and play the political game. At this point, I saw him as one of the two main contenders in the race, so was happy to keep buying him until around 50-50.
It's really only slightly embarrassing to listen to a 2-hour interview of "Peter Thiel" or "Ross Douthat" or "Joe Rogan" or "Bernie Sanders"
These are real people who actually do things and talk about real things in the world (for the most part)
It's extremely embarrassing to sit there for 20 minutes listening to "Vaush" (a literal nobody) dissect a 2-minute interview clip from twitter and read out the commentary of "bootylicker1997"
Same goes for Jones and reading opinions from "Bronze Age Pervert" and "Lindy Man" on twitter
To be a serious political juggernaut you have to be a narcissistic sociopath (Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Zohran Mamdani) and it's obvious that Bernie Sanders isn't mentally ill enough to be the president.
I listen to the Night Owls podcast. I used to PAY for the Night Owls podcast. That's what I am -- I'm not a Yarvinite, I'm not a BAPist, I listen to NIGHT OWLS with Nightmare Vision and Future Moldovan Citizen.
Everything you just wrote there is extremely embarrassing.
Politics in itself is very embarassing and if you legitimately discuss it then you have nothing of value in your life.
That's so cool that you're so distant and ironic and never engage with anything genuinely.
Unfortunately someone has to do it because if you don't the disheveled leftist freaks import a billion brown people into your country because they don't believe in the man in the sky but believe in some insane egalitarianism "every race is created equal"
so brave of you to watch people better than you and then fall asleep at night wishing you were them
If I'm watching "two people that are better than me" what does that say about you watching the dialogue between Vaush and bootylicker1997 lol
You believe in the magic man in the sky? Well I believe in the blank slate.
Imagine reading a book and commenting on it in Voter thread 2024 and jdance arrives to say "wow so you're reading the thoughts of someone better than you while you fall asleep at night"
It's called learning about the world dumbass you should try it. Start with my posts
Selling my posts for 50/month in spoonfed micro courses with a skill tree and spaced repitition technology.
that's what learning is
You just need to have a 20 minute video of you discussing the topic with a 14-year-old posting 2 dollar chat messages in order for jdance to buy-in to the idea
Sorry I can't comment on the Vaush video because I'm still completing the "tribal chieftan" phase of political science in my online AI anthropology course.
We should charge jdance for access to the voter thread and he can only reach & read the later posts in the thread if he can demonstrate 80% recall and 98% comprehension of the earlier posts in sets of 10 each
Each time you get 10 new posts it gives you a little star and fireworks on the screen
It's called breadth and having a strong foundation of the basics. It's called thinking from first principles.
I haven't reached the level where I can engage with online discourse yet. I am still on Dickens.
