This was made in 2022? It’s only gotten more relevant.
Who needs news sites when you have Grinded-Up News™!
You can have a website that scrapes all that noise everywhere else mushes it up into a flavorless paste of no side at all for the best liberals can get. And it provide no funds or support back to the sources!
Mmm Capitalism. Fuck everyone else that isn’t me!

Perfect summary. Someone send this to Zuckerberg to use in his next press release.
Fuck everyone else that isn’t me!
Somehow as I read this sentence, stars and stripes and a bald eagle appeared behind it.
Wait, is ground need owned by the zuck?

Trump is trying to recreate the slave state in the United States of America.
He is not going to deport immigrants.
He is going to use them for slave labor.
Yep. That’s the end game. Very obvious.
You know about the jails thing? US slavery never stopped.
There’s just one step missing from “pure hitler”.
it’s called collapse
The other option is that things don’t change because there’s an invisible set of organizations and agreements that force the status quo to be reproduced.
This set of organizations is what John Miershiemer calls “The Blob”. It includes all sorts of thing tanks, the world bank, the council on foreign relations, NATO, this melding of big money corporations and political interests that control enough money and influence over how society is run, that not even Trump will truly be able to change the fundamentals in any substantial or lasting way.
The level of change stops when it risks their money and the stability of The Blob. We do not know what life would be like without The Blob - because we’ve never had it.
No offense but this reads like an edgy teenager’s take on politics, was it the blob who prevented the 10 million people who showed for biden to not show up for Harris? Or was it their selfishness, sexism, racism, misguided idiotic leftism (like you see in lemmy comments about how this is revenge for not taking a stance on gaza)
How come the EU can force change on US companies yet the US fails to do so? Is the blob in the Us, just like alien attacks and pandemics and serial killers in movies?
Why would it offend me? I’m not Professor John Mearshiemer:

‘The Blob’ is his concept, what he calls it… And it has nothing to do with constraining votes in elections. It has to do with constraining the actions and choices of an American President when they’re in power.
I think you just don’t understand the concept (for whatever reason), and have mistaken these real world organizations (that make up The Blob) as the fanciful stuff of conspiracy theories…
…no, they all actually exist, and have stated purposes and membersship lists, mission statement, budgets, ect.
P.S The EU controls companies through their legislative and legal bodies, which have sanctions, and market influence. They’re why apple can no longer have their own changing jacks - because although you’re not aware of it, they do hold sway over companies.

You not being aware of this, is not the same as them being “teenage fantasies” or folklore.
Pretty sure the blob restraining the powers of president in power is the obstructionist senate, mainly for a democrat president.
Yes I know the EU forced it’s will on Apple, that’s my exact fucking point.
It’s almost as if you don’t let capitalism completely rampant and create new age oligarchs then democracy works.
I guess also should watch an almost 2 hour podcast to find out it’s easier to call things the blob than Super PACs, lobbyist groups and think thanks. Thanks for the link.
You really are stuck on this idea that I said something about the American election… I didn’t.
It was the Democrats’ failure to differentiate themselves from the fascists in a way that actually mattered to the working class.
