mark fisher predicted the current cultural stagnation and how it would infect people's thinking too: a society where the populace is hyper-judgemental, rigid and rejecting of any true deviance from the norm. but even he probably didn't anticipate just how blind people would be to their own lameness. at the time he talked about how leftist spaces had turned into moralizing purity tests that would suffocate discourse, but this mindset isn't limited to the libs anymore, everyone is in on it now too. the political consists of fake resistance; libs calling people names and nazis (drumpf, elmo), chuds spamming wojaks and pepes like its the 2012 reddit rageface era.

the culture industry isn't exactly new either, but it's impressive how it keeps optimizing itself. the biggest pop culture movement is swifties - the most boring, anti-art, corporatized fandom phenomenon in human history. mediocrity has never been more carefully distilled and refined than in her person. rap, once a supposedly vital genre, is currently making headlines for rappers having small peepees and being addicted to bussy and porn. the best youth culture can come up with is either idolizing already dead millenial culture or mass producing brainrot.

mass culture has been trapped in endless nostalgia loops for years, but even the internet - which used to be a wild, chaotic place - has finally been reduced to either hyper-policed, corporate-moderated mush (reddit dot com) or irony-poisoned wastelands where every conversation either degenerates into the same three wojak memes (ding ding ding, this is where we are right now) or is suffocated by asking of the reader to withhold their habituated responses.

this isn't just stagnation, it's full on social decay. if it took on physical form we could observe the brain worms slowly digesting our frontal lobes. I thought I could deal with cultural stagnation but I honestly didn't expect it would become this authoritarian and that its rulers would be this lame.

I know Hamas is popular with some RS people but let's be honest. The Gazans are very pro Hamas and Hamas is a terrorist group. Parading murdered babies around today was probably not a good optical choice for the Gazan people. If the Gazans did not support terrorists, wouldn't it help their case? They want the world's sympathy but taking women and babies hostage and killing them is probably not going to warm people's hearts. I'm sick of paying for Israel's wars but I still think Islam is a wicked and violent religion, barbaric and worthless.

Hahahahaha

Well Al Jazeera doubled down, had @YouTube remove the video and my channel got a strike. The footage they claimed ownership of was recorded, edited and published by Hamas. I, as well as Al Jazeera and others, then used that to show and discuss the hostage handoff. pic.twitter.com/3BQGrJKiQM

someone archived the post https://old.reddit.com/r/SingaporeRaw/comments/1impt4x/love_how_people_still_talk_about_this_on_the_main/

For past 2 years no news has caused market to react negative or positive. Thn came Trump s love for Tariffs.

I lost 230k in past 3 weeks because of market reacting to the tariffs news in absolute shit way.

2 weeks I lost on calls that were printing solid green until he said tariffs on mexico and canada. 130k went out the window in just an hour or two.

Yesterday, the market welcomed shit CPI, PPI and tariff news with ATH. 100k went out the window on puts.

I'm super lost now. I followed the fundamentals and had all the alerts setup right. You might say, what about stop loss but even with that the loss is just absolute heartbreaking.

EDIT: I understand its my mistake. I am not posting this on WSB for points. THis sub has some solid tips that i had read and implemented before. Really just want some guidance to how to deal with this and make sure i dont repeat the same mistake again. I can earn the money back with my 9-5 and side hustles. I am not denying my stupidity but at the same time I am not happy with the fact that same news and terrible reports from CPI, PPI and tariffs still caused market to go up. It simply didnt make sense.

Thank you to the ones who has been pinging me directly and helping out.

The target of the USAID purge, was George Soros.

The USAID slush fund was how he financed his global Left-wing influence machine.

It’s how he bought politicians, MSM, newspapers, radio shows, judges, prosecutors, etc.

The top recipient of USAID funding seems to be a company called Chemonics International inc. and they’re not up to anything good.

Though I have yet to find them funding trans operas, they seem to just fund Hillary Clinton’s friends stealing our tax money.
