      People on /pol/ quite often post views which are actually leftist, but they hate brown people so much that they can’t bring themselves to abandon the far-right.

      Explain this to me. Do you mean that 51% doesn’t include a large share of the 79% of Americans who say the country is on the wrong track? Has been for, oh, the last four years? Perhaps if the 49% had got their way instead it would have abolished capitalism and absurd celebrities somehow? As opposed to reinforcing the status quo?

        Of course luck plays a factor and you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Dont put words of bootstrap BS in my mouth when i never said it. I said entrepreneurial spirit. As in she took her lucky hand and did something with it.

          That’s bootstrap bullshit dude, you’d have a point if you didn’t outright say anyone who isn’t rich isn’t trying.

            If you want to call that bootstrap BS, it stops being BS when you literally see it working here. I never said anyone who isnt rich, isnt trying. There’s plenty of rich people that aren’t entrepreneurs. But you go ahead and live in your own made up echo chamber while the rest of us live in the real world. Real world results speak for themselves.

      it can be both. who wouldn’t want, at least for a while, inurement from financial consequences. And those that have it also still want to retain it. Mimetic desire or not, it is still desired by those who have or have not.

      The only reason to frame not wanting to suffer as bad is if you want to inflict that suffering

    Ugh, I saw that video once, cringed and moved on. I don’t understand why this was passed around so much. But good for her for playing the game. I woulda buried my head in the sand if I went viral for bragging about my awesome schmowshem sloppy toppies

      There is the possibility that she/staged the video. What better way to launch a talented career. It’s a different type of marketing.

      People say her podcast is actually good. I don’t know, I haven’t listened to it, but if so, then she is playing the game with decidedly more skill than just one 5-second video clip.

        I thought that was a meme…

        …Is the Talk Tuah podcast actually talking about the historic warfare patterns of the Spanish Armada?

          I’m pretty sure that aspect of it is the meme. That on Talk Tuah she discusses topics she is wildly under qualified for.

          “On this episode of Talk Tuah, Hawk Tuah discusses particle physics, Byzantine economics…” etc.

        Honestly, I back the hustle. Even catch me outside chick. If that gets you ahead, fair does. Men have been espousing far more damaging rhetoric and making a buck. Go for it. Disclaimer: I’ve not listened to her podcast so she could be a Nazi for all I know. But young people, cost of living - if it works and it’s not hurting you or the community, then go for it.

    She didn’t become a millionaire afaik.

    She has a podcast that’s slightly popular and was already well off.

    Anon might stop feeling so jealous if they perhaps stopped making up random facts, or believing lies on the internet?

      Yep.

      Entertainers get the big bucks because millions and billions of normal people spend a lot of time and money being entertained by them.

      And we are always looking for the cool and funny next thing. And hawk tua girl legitimately entertained millions of us for 30 seconds.

      Money only has value if you believe because the ones with power over everyone else say it has value.

      Fixed it for you. Much as we want to, we can’t will away the oppression without first overthrowing the oppressors.

          Nope. Climate change is a pollution issue. Reducing consumption can reduce pollution, but paying or not paying for a digital copy of something has effectively zero cost in the form of natural resources or pollution.

          How many ugly actors and comedians got their start through someone else’s tik tok interview of them on the street outside a bar?

            Given how new TikTok is, it’s not surprising that it’s few if any. Anyway, she’s good looking but not like Hollywood hot, fairly normal.
