    Man, I saw that woman make a speech in honor of her husband and it sounded exactly like me giving a book report on a book I absolutely did not read because my brother rented Final Fantasy Tactics and I needed to finish it before it went back to Blockbuster.

    Yall are being unfair. There's no more appropriate way to honor Charlie Kirk than grifting.

    You say that as if mercilessly exploiting every opportunity to make money isn't the exact way people become rich in the first place. There's pretty much no other way to do it these days, at least not in America; you're either honorable and poor, or dishonorable and maybe rich, though probably still poor.

    Was it just the food? What made it special?

    the food was great, they had those great hats, they had a good music lineup, the vendors weren't too cramped in (even though you're only supposed to get a standard 10 foot x 10 foot booth they'd give us all a few extra inches), most of the vendors were good quality craft or food vendors (no MLM shit, though the only ones i'm familiar with back when i attended regularly were mary kay, amway and herbalife), the space was spread out enough to accommodate the crowd and the vendors but not so spread out that it looked empty, they had a free water spigot, there's a lot of reasons.

    for some reason working that festival was more relaxed than working the other ones. maybe my boss wasn't as much of a hardass there, maybe it was just the festival. i don't know. i still have nightmares of the festival i had to sub in at the cotton candy machine (it got into every nook and cranny, i didn't feel comfortable walking by an elementary school for a month for fear they'd try to eat me) so Tualatin was the fun festival every season.

    Come to think of it, I've never seen a smile on the guys working the cotton candy machines. It all makes sense now.

    Oregon in general has that vibe, I've found. Everyone's just mellower, more agreeable. I moved around the west coast a lot growing up, and Portlanders always struck me as the kindest city folk you could hope to meet. I hope they never change.

    I hope they resume the festival. It sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!!

    Nah mate this is 100% American. We still remember how ye gifted two billion dollars to the dnc last year. Aren't you getting any texts asking for more money yet?

    This is not an 'America bad' take. We have our fair share of grifting in the rest of the world as well, but the American way is quite particular.

    I don't know if this is really not visible from within, but this has always been the essence of American Life in my eyes since I became socially aware at the end of the 90s, when I was also spending my summers in the US.

    Sure, now the wallpaper pattern is covering the sofa and the chairs, and it is a punch in your eyes, but the room has always been surrounded in just that.

    Anyone that watched her response video knows full well she's a grifter. Her acting was worse than Katie Britt in her SOTU response. One of the first things she said about Charlie is that if he were here today he'd say "Go Ducks". Because Oregon. Then proceeded to threaten the world with retribution as if Charlie Kirk dying was the same as opening the Ark of the Covenant. Wraps it up by asking for money. Rofl, it's so nakedly greedy it's pathetic. These people are so fake.

    I was so fucking disgusted when I watched her video. It was so cringe and obviously fucking fake and weird. Also why did she say anything at all, nobody needed to hear from her. And so quickly? All about the grift with these people. Felt icky and psychotic.

    It's been ten years... If you're still on the fence about whether the Trump devotees are paste eaters then I'm not sure what to tell you.

    These people always existed but with the modern social media fire hose they have become very easy to control.

    No. I know they're morons. I'm just surprised that they're this gullible. Not believing things they don't understand is one thing.. buying these weak, thinly veiled performances from charlatans is another. MAGAts will never beat the charge that they're in a cult.

    Of course. Hey, if it turns out to be in the millions, I'll take 10%. But I'm raising a child alone and the baby momma put me into a looot of debt by manipulating with me and taking out shit in my name. She's also too broke for me to demand anything back, so here I am, I haven't had a day off in a year and a half.

    Honestly, not even that at this point. I haven't yet figured out how to handle things without getting caught. One would need a way to take payments from Americans that isn't PayPal or an American bank. I know how things work on this side of the pond, more or less, but not how it works in the US.

    Supposedly this is for the company. However, if she believed in it that much then why does she have so much personal wealth? Shouldn't she be the first to donate a large percentage of her wealth?

    I'm curious if it's as common in the younger generations as it appears in the old. Are young people attending church in the same numbers in the US? Perhaps there was less lead in the gasoline for them.

    Are young people attending church in the same numbers in the US?

    Religion has been on a steady decline by percentage of population in the US since the 70s. Christians declined from 91% in 1970 to 82% in 2000 to 74% in 2020, but the actual number of Christians overall increased from roughly 187 mil to 246 mil. However, non-religious rose from 5 to 20% in that same time frame (from 10.5 mil to 65 mil).

    Candace Owens, and to a lesser extent, justpearlythings, are still somewhat successful while doing propaganda against their own demographics. I've seen a ton of black anti-black content creators on YouTube lately for some reason; guessing somebody's funding them. I also remember a few trans anti-trans propagandists, but don't think they're very relevant now.

    That's why they are rich, by appealing to the emotional morons. Usually the ones that involve narcissism and sadism, but why waste being able to harvest other emotions as well? It's the era of on-demand personality cults after all, why would they waste milking their followers when they've already gone so far?
