I just looked at a man with a hat today and kept—tried not to!!-wondering how and why it was I had to act like it was normal for people my country to worship the cruelest, stupidest sample.

Radiohead started recording OK Computer in July 1996, so we might say the best album of 1996 were the unfinished tracks.

I turned 21 in 1996. It was a monster year for popular music, so it’s very difficult to choose.
I’m partial to Pinkerton and Tiny Music…, but that is also the year of Evil Empire, Tidal, Odelay, The Score, ATLiens, Boys for Pele, Ænima, and Sublime.

Reactionary politics has always been characterized by resentment. It’s been sublimated into crybaby behavior and chintzy AI.

Thank you for being that sane person in mass media that doesn’t stop ringing this bell.
Also, you might owe predictive text an apology.

/ But at the grassroots in my county…not a cult, but definitely the sense that he did nothing wrong and everything right. It was a matter of degree, not kind.
It definitely felt cult-like any time a criticism was raised. Vicious blowback.

I agree. I think this may be a difference in the type of circles me runs in. I wan an executive board member for the California Democratic Party. At the party level, many delegates were sober in their assessment. /

I did as soon as he disowned Jeremiah Wright and co-opted King to defend American warfare. Nevertheless, there are a lot of liberals who think everything that went well was bc of him and everything that went wrong was because of Republicans, and this is social media so everyone will assume the worst

You are in a very different circle of liberals than I am.

I am certainly not saying that this is true in equal measure. That the world’s most cruel and stupid human being is considered a god is obviously terrible.
