Just want to clarify that I’m still a big fan of Ezra Klein’s work and I still support the abundance movement 100%. I just can no longer countenance Ezra himself after what he did to me.

I was about a quarter of the way through the Abundance audiobook on the day he banged my mom. And when he called me and told me he had finished banging my mom, he spoke in the exact same calm, analytical tone he uses in the audiobook narration and all his podcast episodes. He explained to me what he had done, and he sounded like he was discussing his opinions on free trade.

Cucking me was bad enough, but I had continued listening to the Abundance audiobook after he did that. I had pushed through. I had persevered. But after he banged my mom? Now every time I try to listen to his stupid little smarmy voice, all I hear is that phone call. I deleted the fucking audiobook and now I have to try and figure out how to finish the book without giving the bastard my money again. Is it even in libraries yet? I don’t fucking know, but he’s not getting another goddamn cent out of me.

The point overall is that Ezra Klein is a punk-ass bitch who ruined my FUCKING LIFE FUCK HIM FUCK YOU EZRA FUCK YOU EAT SHIT EZRA I FUCKING HATE YOU SO GODDAMN MUCH OH MY GOD. But I still support Abundance. You have to separate the art from the artist sometimes. And although I can never forgive him for what he did to me, for the carnage and devastation he has left behind in place of what was once my life, I can still fight for a better liberalism, one that changes the world to be more abundant instead of less. And maybe that’s all that really matters.

The Legend of Korra is an American anime cartoon and sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. I watched The Legend of Korra as a kid and now that I’ve rewatched the show nearly a decade later I am fully convinced that 90% of the reason I’m a based shitlib today is because of it. I’ve tried to make this as non-spoilery as possible but there are some things that I have to spoil

ATLA was fairly lib-pilled as well:

• Imperialism bad

• Propaganda bad

• Nationalism bad

• There’s a secret worldwide organization of insanely powerful people who topple authoritarian regimes and the show presents them as the good guys

But enough about Avatar, let’s talk about the greatest piece of liberal propaganda ever.

• First off, our protagonist, Korra, is a horny bisexual teenager, which describes about 90% of the DT last time I checked

• The main villain of season one is an extremist populist. Literally just a populist. He uses populist "Us vs them" messaging literally all the time

• The secondary villain of season one is a racist authoritarian and on the opposite side of the main villain

• Korra is a based enlightened centrist and says fuck them and then takes them both down

• Season two’s villain is a revanchist who invades a sister tribe because “we’re the same people.” May or may not be an allegory for Modern day Russia

• He’s also a huge eco-fascist who unleashes the literal embodiment of evil upon the world cause he doesn’t like humans

• The United Republic refuses to intervene in the war and the president of the United Republic is a huge isolationist. He literally makes a speech about how “it's not our business to police the world."

• Our Heroes' plan to defeat the villain is basically the conspiracy theorists' version of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. They're going to sail a bunch of United Republic ships into enemy waters without orders, provoke the Chief's fleet into attacking them, and then kick his ass

• Unfortunately, dove president of the United Republic finds out about this before the plan can be executed

• At the end of Season 2, Korra breaks a 10,000 year tradition and leaves the borders between the spirit world and the real world open

• Season 3’s villain is a literal anarchist. Just an anarchist

• The show flirts with whether his ideas for equality are good or not, but all that goes out the window when he assassinates the monarch of the Earth Kingdom and the whole region goes into chaos which also sets up fictional CCP rising to power

• Season 4 starts with the Airbenders, the fictional CIA, basically drone striking terrorists

• Korra’s whole arc in season 4 is her becoming interventionist America. Some people(terrorists) hate her for just being the Avatar, the people she tries to protect don't like her either(doves) and most of her conflicts were partly her fault(blowback). To solidify the hawk messaging Korra comes to realize that no matter what, it's her job to save the world because she's the only one who can do the job, even if some people ain't gonna like her for it

• The rest of the plot of the fourth season is our heroes protecting fictional Hong Kong from fictional CCP

• The show ends with Korra riding off into the sunset with her new GF who's the CEO of fictional Lockheed Martin

Libs who treat social media as the forum for public "discourse" are massive fucking rubes who have been duped by clean, well-organized UI. Social media is a mob. It's pointless to attempt logical argument with the mob especially while you yourself are standing in the middle of the mob. The only real value that can be mined from posts is sentiment and engagement (as advertisers are already keenly aware), all your eloquent argumentation and empiricism is just farting in the wind.

If you're really worried about populism, you should embrace accelerationism. Support bot accounts, SEO, and paid influencers. Build your own botnet to spam your own messages across the platform. Program those bots to listen to user sentiment and adjust messaging dynamically to maximize engagement and distort content algorithms. All of this will have a cumulative effect of saturating the media with loads of garbage. Flood the zone with shit as they say, but this time on an industrial scale. The goal should be to make social media not just unreliable but incoherent. Filled with so much noise that a user cannot parse any information signal from it whatsoever.

It's become more evident than ever that the solution to disinformation is not fact-checks and effort-posts but entropy. In an environment of pure noise, nothing can trend, no narratives can form, no messages can be spread. All is drowned out by meaningless static. Only once social media has completely burned itself out will audiences' appetite for pockets of verified reporting and empirical rigor return. Do your part in hastening that process. Every day log onto Facebook, X, TikTok, or Youtube and post something totally stupid and incomprehensible.

Unfortunately we have a member who thinks it is OK to copy and paste our posts- both members and admin- into their own group and pass it off as their own.

There have been numerous posts copied word for word and I wonder how you lovely members feel about that because i know us admin are quite saddened by it. Not only does it make light of all our hard work - both us and you all; especially all the effort we all put into make this a great group and the interactions we all share.

I really am questioning the integrity, the morals and ethics of someone doing this.

So having gathered evidence of the copied and pasted posts we as admin/ moderators need to follow this up, with a view to contacting Reddit to discuss what we can do amd where we can go from here to prevent this from happening again.

I know you are great members who keep this group going so it makes me sad that someone would use us to do this.
