Not being cute, this is the darkest vision for America I’ve ever read. No sleepovers, no saturday morning cartoons. No joy. Nothing to look forward to but endless grinding competition. Life itself sacrificed. In its place, “success.”

There’s always a Marx quote.

Trumpism pushes the lie that if you are struggling it’s bc of immigrants and trans people. Elon and Vivek are pushing the traditional GOP lie that if you are struggling it’s your own fucking fault. The truth is if you are struggling it’s likely because of billionaire robber

Growing up, I saw lots of kids raised exactly like Vivek recommends. It typically didn’t pay off at all. (1/12)

🤔💭🤷🏾‍♂️

Billionaires are now openly cannibalising society in the way leftists warned for decades they would if their power was not stripped from them. None of this is remotely surprising. A true dystopia lies ahead

Once again, there’s always a Marx quote:
