        Oprah and Doctor Phil and their consequences…

        I still vaguely remember back in the day when Oprah platformed “the Secret” and brought all this “manifesting” drek in to public view. Oprah has used her massive viewrship to cause incomprehensible damage over the years.

        Her story really would be fascisating from a Marxist perspective. The way her platform gave her such an enormous soap box from which to steer and influence culture, and the ways that she and the systems that supported her show chose to use that soap box.

              I love The Monarch and I hate fake religions created by Western occultists by appropriating Eastern religions so this scene is a banger for sure.

        Ask him if he thinks that would work for Palestinians in Gaza

        Or just tell him to refer to this emoji as a rubric for when idealism works vs doesn’t us-foreign-policy

          It deeply bothers me how someone will make a joke about how it’s an easy puzzle and he’ll respond by calling them failures in life and then, if he gets called out on it, say “He came at me, I was just better at insulting than he was”.

          That and who the hell should be taking life advice from a dweeb who gets paid for just playing video games badly while spouting the most banal shit imaginable? He’s basically an asmr channel but sometimes explicitly reactionary, and his position in the economy is a defect in society.

      I just want him to see me more than he does. He doesn’t come around he doesn’t call he just gives me pseudo motivation from an idealist perspective

      Yeah, it’s kinda like zen philosophy. If this is someone’s response when you’re sobbing over losing your job it’s shitty, but when it’s a one off comment in a vacuum, it’s well-intentioned and innocuous.

    My dad sends pictures of flowers with Bible verses or similar platitudes on them. And he does it to everyone constantly even at weird hours and even if they never respond. Most of us don’t have him blocked. I have him blocked because he crossed some major boundaries and I no longer trust him to make safe decisions around me.

    So if this is the worst of it then, no, you probably shouldn’t block him. Without further context, this is annoying at worst. Also, by “block him” do you mean going no/low contact or do you mean literally just blocking his phone number and interacting with him as normal otherwise?

    There’s a good chance this is the kind of stuff that gives him hope and he just wants to share that. Even if it’s annoying.

    PS texting is a bad way to have disagreements, I def recommemd having a real convo if you want to push back on what is basically new age karma, which itself leads to victim blaming if one is logical about it.
