To me the right has become mostly a meme

Blocking political process is now the main theme

The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right

Gerrymandering going on day and night

Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders

He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders

Nazis are back and the climate is spent.

I’d love to step up, but I gotta pay rent.

The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror

or maybe

The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation

or maybe

One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc

All I see is a major shitshow

I can’t keep up with all the garbage they throw

None of our problems ever get fixed

Because we can’t even agree they exist!

The future’s in the hands of those who won’t live to see it

The house is burning down but they won’t believe it

Everything’s fucked, it’s all just a mess

I suppose I’ll just vote for who hates minorities less

I really don't care
It's neither here nor there
I live alone in the woods
My biggest worry is bear
And his economic stance on my foods

Capitalism has become such a bore Wish waged labor existed no more I’d rather pay taxes Take billionaires assets And distribute some wealth to the poor

Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.

The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn’t be sourced from meat.

Newlines are real tough.
Two spaces and the end make it rough.

Hit enter twice

For space extra nice.

Banana.

Healthcare is a universal right Let’s start with that then move on to the next fight

Roses are red Violets are blue The worlds gonna end Before I turn 52

The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don’t you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property’s inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

(Bo Burnham - How the World Works)

The picture is crooked by just enough
That you’d need a level to tell.
Every adjustment skews it a little bit more
This is starting to feel just like hell.
If it’s low on the left, now it’s high on the right,
Or it could be the other way around.
If we can’t seem to find a way to agree,
Maybe the piece should just come down.
But we like it’s aesthetic, that much is a fact,
Though we can’t really explain why.
One thing is for certain, we want it displayed,
We just both feel it has fallen awry.
So I’ll push, and you’ll pull, and we’ll stand back and sneer
At the other’s well-meant intentions
As it goes from one extreme to the next
While neither of us pays much attention,
To the fact that the picture itself is what really matters,
Not how it sits on a line.
The whole Earth is slanted on its own axis,
And even beauty is crooked sometimes.

I always watch sadly
Those giving their vote
To people who’d gladly
Cut open their throat.

They follow their hate,
They don’t spot the lies.
Rich man owns the state,
Rich man’s gaining weight,
The poor one just dies.

Edit: changed a line

People dislike the present

Yet always vote Blue or Red

I only vote independent

And people still blame me for who led

Everything is fucked and burning,
Yet the wheels of greed keep turning,
Big wigs buy their thirteenth yacht,
While 'twixt twelve we share a hut,
This just leaves me with one thing:
“Chop, chop” goes the guillotine.
