Coping with Biden/Harris - Help NeroRisotto deal with a funk

Imagine giving a shit about social issues beyond the first amendment. Biden is senile so hopefully god tier Summers will keep him in check from Bernie and his ilk and we'll get Obama tier economic policies, which is acceptable. Unfortunately Romney lost in 2012 and the entire economically rational Mankiw type crowd has become a small minority in the Republican party. Now I'll never get my zero corporate and capital gains taxes 😭😭😭😭.
 
If if it weren't for Corona, I'd agree with you entirely on this.

COVID-19 was a black swan event that fucked everything up and has flipped the script. Everything's gone to Hell and nobody knows what the fuck is going on.

Even the BLM coup in the summer wouldn't have happened if George Floyd's death wasn't preceded by three months of intense lockdowns and social distancing making everyone stir-crazy.

2020 is putting the normies close to their breaking point if it hasn't already. The payment processors going after an ostensibly apolitical and semi-mainstream site like Pornhub has already "redpilled" a bunch of soys and normies about the disproportionate power they have.

If this shit continues, you might have a lot of people snapping. I don't see a mass uprising because that's retarded, but I can definitely see more people getting desperate that they wind up going full psycho retard and doing stuff one should only do in Minecraft

The issue of black fragility is still unaddressed and Biden already said BLM should be thankful that him and Harris won the election and shut up. If BLM/Antifa find another excuse to riot and loot or if they want to continue their attempted revolution once the holidays have passed, things are going to be a lot different than they were in the summer.

With Orange Man finally gone, a new wave of rioting won't be coddled as much by major cities and states outside of the preexisting Antifa fiefdoms in the Pacific Northwest like Portland and Seattle.


Everyone on all sides are stuck in the weeds and nobody knows what the fuck is going on. From the way things are shaping up, Biden/Harris is going to be a slightly shitter retread of Bush's second term or Obama at best.

Kamala Harris is not a "true and honest" progressive like Ilhan Omar or AOC. She's a neoliberal corporate uniparty cunt who'll gladly pander to the Woke Left if she thinks it will get her ahead.

If the Dems don't take both seats in the Georgia runoffs, then she's a lame duck and "rule by EO fiat" is less of a viable option than it was for Obama since Trump and McConnell have stacked the courts more in the favor of the GOP by comparison, Roberts's own autism aside. Even with the courts fucking over Trump, the issue of court-packing is going to be a moot point. Especially if the Dems can't take both seats in Georgia.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Mitch cut some backroom deal with the corporate establishment Dems to retain his narrow majority in the Senate and to shut down Stacey Abrams before she becomes too much of a loose cannon like The Squad are.

My personal prediction for the Georgia runoffs is that the Dems win one of the seats but Perdue keeps his seat by the skin of his teeth. When the new Congress convenes in January, the Dems will be weaker in the House and the Senate is going to be razor-thin for both sides, especially if Manchin and Romney do the expected thing and cuck out their respective parties.

That might be why Trump veto'd NDAA but didn't explicitly veto the COVID-19 relief bill despite not signing it.

He knows if he vetoes it now, there's a veto-proof majority but there's a chance with a weaker Dem majority in the House, if he vetoes it after January 6th, there's less of a chance for a strong veto-proof majority in both chambers.

Fuck, if Trump pardons Assange and Snowden in the coming weeks or does some last minute "Fuck You!" EO's, then I'll be a happy camper.

The riots were orchestrated as fuck, that why it happened, you had pallets of bricks showing up from nowhere, police being told to stay away from potential targets, mayors refusing to let the guardies in, what a coincidence isnt it?

What you have to understand is that the democrats control the black political apparatus, nothing happens if they dont want it to happen, and if you're black but dont like what massa says you're gonna end up like darren seals, and nobody is gonna care, the news are not gonna cover it, blm is not gonna even mention your name

Normalfags are anesthetized now, they dont react anymore, they knuckle under and cope harder online, and when their cope gets banned they cope silently to avoid another ban, they dont sperg out. The only opposition is controlled opposition, nutjobs like antimaskers and the like, they are allowed to exist so that anyone that goes against the grind has to join them or at least end up being associated to them, that way normalfags steer clear of being against the system for fear of being branded as "one of those", and thanks to social media your life story follows you around no matter what you do, you cant simply pretend it didnt happen like boomers who hide their pedohippie past

There wont be another gamergate, gaming itself is more coopted than other forms of media and gamers still buy that shit, the ps5 was the biggest console launch to date IIRC, and the new xbox launch was the biggest of all xbox consoles too, does that sounds like rebellion to you? people buying consoles that are almost completely dependent on online game purchases you dont own and can be taken from you for no reason? The new oculus VR demands you use a facebook account meaning they datamine everything you do, and again can ban you and take your games, but its still selling like crazy with most stores lacking stock, gamers dont give a shit.

I really hate to be a bugman normie if that's the case. Well welcome to the new dark ages. Enjoy your serfdom.
 
you cant bully the rest of the world into using your currency
This worked fine for the last 5 decades. Why do you think that every time a regional power wants to change from the petrodollar to either the Euro or their own oil backed currency? Saddam, Ghaddafi, they are brought down.

Is it possible for this system to collapse? Sure. But it held firm for a long long time and it worked exactly as said: bullied into using your currency.

As for why the soviets didn't: their economic problems ran much much deeper. They depended on their greatest enemy (US) to feed them. And they had an enemy of that size that other countries could run to and offer reasonable deals.

There isn't quite that type of relationship with China yet for most countries, even if things are shifting.

The US is still the #1 agricultural producer in the world.

To get back to the core of the answer: soviets had nowhere near the current US hegemony and power and thus could not bully others into using their currency.

And hey just remember: Hillary Clinton lost to an cheeto man, a sniffer that likes kids, and a vice president who thinks she's the victim of her own story.

Another thing, there have been more encounters with police that end up fatal, but nobody gives a shit now. You won't be hearing much about this. No riots, maybe a couple of local protests. It's December, so it's not politically expedient. It's not about muh policing or muh racism, and it never was.

Those are shit-tier countries, thats why they get toppled. The countries china is courting are also shit-tier, the vast majority are african and asian shitholes, countries whose only political weight is the token vote they get at the UN but the security council? zero, nada

The soviets became too dependent on oil exports just like modern russia is, and when oil went down in the 80s they were stuck with bills they couldnt pay. Also during most of its history the soviets refused to pay any debts whatsoever even to other sovereign countries which is why nobody was going to buy soviet debt and the ruble was worthless outside the ussr

Europe agrees with the dollar scheme because we're practically paying for nato, if they had to foot the bill their citizens would go without all that sweet welfare they got used to, might cause an actual uprising since in places like the uk, germany and france you have generations of families living on government cheese, and then you got all the "doctors and engineers" from camelfuckistan that for some reason aren't building spaceships and other shit but joining the previous refugees in living off the taxpayers while not even bothering to learn the language

The US has always payed its debts, always, the moment we stop due to political reasons we start going the way Argentina did, confidence in our currency will collapse since if we refuse to pay X debt then what about Y debt? and Z debt? If we backpedal we lose face and look like cowards, if we keep going confidence goes down and shit gets worse for the dollar

We never bullied anybody, we've been literally subsidizing other countries for decades so they'll use the dollar, and in turn they invest in the dollar by buying debt

Stop paying the debt and shit collapses

I'm getting a 404 on that link
 
I don't want to use the term "cope" because it seems like a term that is being utilized by idiots to demoralize and humiliate those who care about the bullshit going on at this time. My honest opinion is that while things may not have always been terrible, they have been for a while, even a bit before the 2010s, and it is simply more painful for us because it has now become more transparent. You can't expect to change anything when you have only started to become aware of a problem that has actually existed for several years, although that may be an over-simplification.
 
Misery loves company. You'll find no shortage of wallowing from members of the left and right. Progressives will watch with increasing horror as establishment Democrats become the Republicans they always wanted to be. The alt-right / Trumplicans will gnash their teeth as centrist neoliberals rub their noses in their defeat (while actually passing things that Republicans want regardless). While the war machine will continue unabated, I'll offer you this as small comfort: having dashed the hull of their HMS #Resistance upon the glacier known as Trump, the DNC will sink, inelegantly, into the deep dark of the 2022 midterms. Nancy Pelosi will strike up the band.

And then... hell, who knows. President Crenshaw / VP Gabbard?
 
We never bullied anybody
Ay lmao.

You literally created a nation called panama because you wanted a canal. You may have expert diplomats on top, creating all kinds of excuses to start wars, pardon me, spread freedom and democracies with bombs and revolutions.

It's true that European countries don't pay their agreed NATO amount, but it's not like it is a huge amount. Compared to welfare it's like 2%.

As for the paying of debt, do you think that would continue if the China / US conflict ever got hot? I'm not so sure.

At some point US will default. Eventually every country does. There is no riskfree debt, not even US government bonds.
 
Yea definitely rate me late on this: people voted for biden, but are afraid that Harris will take over; Much as how people voted for Biden cause daddy Trump didn't give them their tax cut, so said voters voted for the man/party that's notorious for increasing all kinds of taxes that some kiwi accountants can help educate me/us in.

It been speculated there was too many Trump ballots, so there was not enough time to mark the down ballots.
You are seriously incredibly retarded if you actually believe this. I am not exaggerating; you legitimately need a caretaker to handle your life if you are this retarded.

Your life isn't going to change under Biden/Harris, just like it didn't change under Trump/Pence. You Trump cultists are coming off far more retarded than even the most die-hard Hillary supporters in 2016. Get a grip

Man, I wish I got to live such a care-free life that nothing at all was different in my situation under Bush vs Obama vs Trump. Must be nice.

Be as it may that people should have more agency in changing their own lives instead of relying on random fucks in Washington to do it and a huge chunk of their political woes are the cause of state and local government. I think it's downright stupid to assume things don't change with each admin that affected peoples lives.
