If you talk about the problems people actually have, and you suggest solutions without getting distracted by dancing clowns, you win elections. In the US, Zohran Mamdani demonstrated it, and in Hungary, Peter Magyar. The problem is, many politicians are easily distracted. They think they could score points by pointing out problems in the clowns choreography, when they should be talking about their agenda instead.

I’m getting the feeling they just put a dancing clown in front of us so we don’t start talking about real problems and demanding solutions for them. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the entire Trump presidency is one big distraction. We could be talking about and working towards solutions to societies problems, but now the news cycle is a 24/7 clown show.

I have simply blocked a certain user who uploaded a lot of stuff I didn’t like. It was just one user uploading the same type of comic over and over.
Recently requested my data from Amazon. I received gigabytes worth of audio files of Alexa commands that I said. You can hear my voice, sometimes music in the background, I even found my previous girlfriend setting timers with Alexa. Years of my life. It’s genuinely unsettling.
You - a deviant, horny, kinky, dirty, getting hard on anthropomorphic animal porn.
Me - an art critic, established, respectable, pure, enjoying masterful artwork.
When I’m up at night and I can’t sleep… does that mean that there are monsters nearby?

Wish I could smell like Hegelian dialectic or categorical imperative or something like that.
That is an ongoing process, but it looks much different from what you imagine. Even now, a large part of the economy is working for the top 10 percent, producing luxury goods and services. Wealthy customers provide the biggest margins for companies.
“Regular” customers are getting more irrelevant every day. There was a time when your role as a consumer was important for the economy. This role gave you power and influence because companies were competing for your money. This era is slowly coming to an end, something most people haven’t realized yet.
