    Big fan of Atrioc and this is one of his best videos. He has really insightful and thoughtful takes. But also does a great job of keeping things funny and interesting

    I am just astounded that Tesla sells any cars at all at this point. I am convinced there’s a class of Americans that just don’t read any news at all and just see Teslas on the road and think they’re neat. They just feel like Biden didn’t lower prices so give Trump a try. They just coast through life and I’m unreasonably jealous

      That’s possible, or just plain dismissing reality.

      In the film Civil war, there is a violent, well, Civil war raging across the US and several characters says that their parents are living on a farm in Wisconsin or whatever, purposely ignoring what is happening in the country.

      IRL, I’ve seen several American youtubers dismissing reality by saying “it will be finished in 4 years so we’ll just have to wait”. Tons of people are saying they’re apolitical so they’ll just endure and wait for the shit show to end.

        Ask Russians how well that goes.
        They’ve been apolitically waiting for Putin’s four years to end since 1999.
