I do think that this is one of appeals of Chapo. They deal with modern politics very head on from a fairly cynical perspective, but their gallows humor makes it fun. That's generally how I manage to stay sane while following the election, every depressing bit of news about Biden's platform or Trump's insanity can be paired with a 'Listen, Jack' joke or something dumb to take the edge off.

Fuck it, I am largely powerless in these issues, but I'd still prefer to understand my lot, and I'd prefer to have fun with it where I can. I wasn't very conscious of politics five years ago, and I felt alienated and confused about the world. Being aware of how our social structure works has let me see my own world more clearly. Some of that has simply been because I'm older, but I see people my age who don't know a fucking thing about how the world really works and it bites them in the ass constantly. I wouldn't give my knowledge back, even if I could.
