ig I'm of two somewhat contradictory minds: one is that american history suggests that a genuine third party challenge to the duopoly is the fastest way to achieve a phase shift AND we need to be clear eyed about how much more difficult that is now than the past. (also that UK is apples to oranges)
I'm sympathetic to the sentiment, but we need to be realistic about the structural diffs--two in particular. 1) multiparty parliamentary UK govt vs american tricameral AND 2) US-unique ballot access laws passed after the last time a 3rd party forced the other two to change: the Populists

My favorite new type of bluesky person is the well-off guy in his 50s or 60s sitting in a suburb in Canada or England smugly posting "why do the stupid largely evil American poors not simply overthrow the government"

pick a city I've been to below the mason dixon line, any city. (due to humidity+heat after growing up in CO foothills, not "hates black people." just wanna be real explicit, here.)

Myrtle Beach coming to mind as the example.
about 56,000 people who weren't here before 2012 and 50k Texan/Californian undergrads who aren't paying for it. but go ahead and tell me about my local economy, brother!
if you think someone else is the MVP, you're unworthy of consiseration as a thinking agent. i regard you as a very dumb dog, or perhaps a cat of middling intelligence. you're livestock, more animal than man.
our ability to reason is what sets us apart, amd you abandon these faculties? dog. not man
if you think anyone other than this man should be MVP, you're a dog, not a man. you have dog brains and should be playing fetch, not posting. now who's a good boy? you are, yes!

Boulder sucks ass and no one can afford it
I'll take slander from someone from any number of american cities, but not someone who thinks that fuckin swamp is better lmao
please tell everyone you know: DO NOT MOVE TO DENVER. YOU THINK YOU ARE MOVING TO "THE MOUNTAINS." YOU ARE NOT. YOU ARE MOVING TO KANSAS WITH A MOUNTAIN VIEW.

also, if you want a book that's so thorough that 23% of the book is notes+index:
Here’s @booker.senate.gov with Yoav Gallant, 14 months after the latter announced, “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly.”
Booker is very offended by Hasan Piker.
doing my weekly "Gladio is better substantiated and also WAY more entertaining as a podcast" plea. also: HS is 80% career spooks seeing a golden retirement plan (per your description), 15% alcoholics experiencing the consequences of the spy lifestyle, and 5% people who got cooked in a CIA self-psyop
pathetic
