About to? The entire "golden age" of television featured protagonists who leaned into supremacism and dominance delusions, season after season, and came to be badass rulers in their corner of society

Watched Dirty Dancing last night, and that's basically a liberal plotline right in our face. The villain even hands the protagonist an Ayn Rand novel and suggests she read it to get in touch with her superiority

Note: Only 31% of US adults are white men.
What are the odds that most of the talent in this country can only be found in that 31?

I recommend you all visit an old cemetery. Or the old part of a current one. And just look at how many kids there are, sometimes four or five from the same family lost in a week or two.
Kids in the new part of the cemetery are thankfully rare. Vaccines played a big role in that

Supremacists like that fail at every level (at work too, they make the worst bosses!) and then they waste everyone's time trying to make everyone ACT like they did well. Like the social façade outweighs people's real hurt

I find there's been a general revulsion against earnestness in general, not just in politics. Ironic detachment is the name of the name, sadly, and their voices are (ironically) loud. The occasional Ted Lasso or whatever shows there is still a craving for the earnest, though
