Exploration is ill-advised.

we got a ton of people who confuse free thinking with not doing something that you don't want to do, and at least some overlap with people who don't want to see their childhood obsessions to be frozen in amber for all time.

arguments about our society being increasingly infantile are probably wrong broadly speaking but there's some strong counterexamples here

If anything these people are explicitly complaining that society is not infantile enough for them

Memories of the past? that’s a bourgeois affectation, comrade.

there’s also a species of monkey that figured out you can just wait for a human to order a cocktail and then steal it the moment they get distracted

That post feels more like satire the more I think about it even though I know it almost certainly isn't.

It echoes too many just-world arguments regarding institutional discrimination too perfectly.

I think it’s supposed to be an Own on the basis that some of capitalism’s contradictions in Venezuela have not yet been resolved 100% so it’s not an absolutely perfect paradise yet (thanks mostly to US meddling).

I think it's meant to plant another little nugget of snide contempt in the readers mind so that when we start taking military action everyone is just a bit more likely to be on board

A NYP writer publishes a(n exaggerated) story about Kamala's book being given to (at least) one kid being held at our concentration camps yesterday, and today haughtily tweets about how she's resigning because they made her write the awful story. Fine, but she ends saying she's sad to leave and she loved writing for the best tabloid in NYC?

My 👁 mind is guessing she got shitcanned by the Post to cover their tracks, and now the writer is trying to pivot by saying actually she quit and she's the ethical one. I'll bet by the end of the summer she's grifting on MSNBC.
