    This isn’t jealousy, it’s “the system is broken, here’s an example of what I mean”

      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.

      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

      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.

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

    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?

      Not a millionaire overnight, but she did get a huge bump in wealth. She was getting tens of thousands for some appearances fees.

      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?
