well, i mean, vance wouldn't listen to psychic tv. not with a beardo bear beard like that. psychic tv is fruity queeny shit.
throbbing gristle is more bearish for sure.

jd vance is really a throbbing gristle fan. that's what is underlying the weird quote.
===
While you are sitting here right now if someone rang you up you might say that you are in a workshop with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, but that would be untrue. What you are really experiencing is a massive data input in no particular logical order: tree creaking almost subliminal; floor hard on ass; need to shit soon; am I hungry; do you think that person still likes me; on and on and on. And we filter it. So, who builds the filters? That is the big question, who controls what does and doesn’t come through the filters, when, at any given minute there is this huge waterfall of information pouring in and our senses are picking it all up.
Then we had them do an exercise that was simply “write everything that happens for one minute,” and it took everyone several pages and was not linear and was some of the most beautiful poetry we’ve ever heard.
Our concept of what we interpret as “reality” is completely malleable. And if it’s malleable then anyone can sculpt it. A lot of our war has been to help others realize they can sculpt it themselves by using tools as simple as cut-ups to reveal the secret war in language, showing how easily we are being manipulated to become consumers. Western capitalism is almost a better product than heroin. In the Middle Ages, if you said to people, “We want you to wear the symbols of your enemy on your clothes and pay for it,” they would just say, “You idiot!” But now people can’t wait to wear corporate brands on their body—they brand themselves with their enemy and pay huge sums of money to reinforce this power system. So it’s a huge and very serious war.

in fact, i think lou reed once said something similar to that, as well.

bernie's been doing this for a while. if he thinks it's better to call off the hounds for now, he seems to have a plan. ok.
note that bernie is in better mental shape than either biden or trump, despite being older than both of them.
is bernie's patience going to work out?
perhaps his hands are tied. perhaps he's playing it by ear. perhaps he's picking his battles.
what kamala is likely to actually do is what is called pivot, except that she doesn't have a base to pivot from. it follows that when she pivots, what she will actually do, functionally, is abandon.
i've been calling don the coyote, because he's sneaky and smart. you have to be smart to be a coyote. a genius. wiley, even. hence, don the coyote. yet, perhaps the metaphor is now better applied to kamala.
i mean, if this was a normal election cycle, she might pivot away from 'defund the police' and towards a 'tough on crime' messaging. she can't. she's just going to show up and walk away from her voting base on day one, while trump is paying fake wrestling stars to do fake photo ops and building massive levels of support amongst young men.
ugh.
but, bernie is right. for now. chill out. let her tell us what she wants to do first, don't put words in her mouth.

i'm sure glad that the french defeated fascism by voting for the bankers. that worked out splendidly.
for further commentary on this issue, i'd like to turn to our special correspondent, jesse owens.
(yeah, look it up, you ignorant kids.)
go forth and bring the gold back to tel aviv for me.
