All the Presidents of the United States are resurrected in the far future with their last memory being at the point of their death but in refreshed, youthful bodies. They’re dumped on a planet where they are told they must kill each other, Hunger Games style, until only one survivor remains…
When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on"
When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.”
When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“
It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny
Our president (center-left in social issues, kind of economical liberal in economics) just announce he’s not stepping down, after 5 days of meditating about it.
Now the right wing is furious with him because they feel he’s dishonest and he should have actually stepped down for multiple reasons
The left is furious with him because he had ignore the smear campaign the right wing media has been running against every single left wing politician for a decade until now, and with this stunt he has made it all about him.
And look, the guy is a clown, and mostly a centrist which I disagree with in almost every single economic measure he has taken (or refused to take). But the reality is that if he had stepped down, we would have gone for general elections, and the chances of the right wing party teaming up with the actual fascist party to get to the government would have been extremely high.
So yeah, I’m relieved we are keeping our liberal clown president for another year, given how the alternative is having actual fascists as head of several ministries.
