Right wing and Left wing is part of the same 🦅 bird. I see the bird.

Paper Birds

lol she fucked that up

here's how I've heard that phrase before: "The right and the left wings belong to the same colonial bird that shits on us," said with ample good sense here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/two-row-wampum-haudenosaunee-voting-election-1.5273605

why do vaguely leftish conspiracy minded spiritual stoner types keep moving in the same fashy direction it's extremely disconcerting

the 'spiritual stoner' part, means they believe in homeopathic nonsense treatments, tend to go w/ gut over facts, listen to Earth all day

I think it's more people that want to seem edgy and countercultural-ish but don't necessarily reach too far beyond that

she had somewhat of a hook with her dad, but I don't know that any of her audience really engaged with that at all (or bothered to understand what any of that meant) but, to be fair, I am not sure she was all that invested either!

wasn't there an interview in 2010 where she admitted she was ignorant but said why can't ignorant people be political

in theory, why not

I feel like the whole spiritual stoner field has been appropriated wholesale by the right in recent years. but maybe it's always tended that way since blavatsky

I was the part of the audience who thought her dad's politics gave her some cred despite knowing nothing about sri lanka so that angle certainly worked on me when I was 15

Very prescient of her, as the most political people in America in 2022 are also the most ignorant motherfuckers on Earth.
