I spend my time reading, writing, and learning about the human experience. Always interested in how others think.

Currently Reading 📚:
• Chomsky - On Anarchism
• Ninth House
• They Can't Kill Us All
Nowhere else is calling it Gulf of America, no one else is even showing it as Gulf of America. They are simply waiting for us to shut the hell up so they can go back to actually running countries instead of whatever we're doing.

However, it reminds me of when those annoying students get grouped up in class, and they interrupt everyone doing their own thing to laugh really loud about the absolute dumbest inside joke you have ever heard. They feed more off of people looking than the joke itself.

I'm here👋🏼 trying to get back into posting book/writing content instead of "ahh the world is on fire" stuff😅

Well...they did block you and we are currently dealing with a facist. I think their math is mathing. (100% sarcasm)

"...and we'd still have the Libertarians and the Green Party. I argue that if we eliminated the Republican party, we would have a more diverse field because it wouldn't always be a battle between two mega powers."

"The Democrats are AT LEAST 3 different parties that would totally split into separate factions if we weren't forced to align to counter Republicans. The establishment Dems would be one. Our new "conservative" party. The progressives would be a party. The Democratic Socialists would be a party..."

"The Republican Party cannot exist as a legitimate party anymore. It has not been a good-faith honorable political party for decades. They need to be seen and treated as the treasonous enemies they are. Everybody worries that would leave us with one-party rule, but it wouldn't."

"It wasn't, we got complacent and people stopped valuing principles. It is still working fine in other countries, we let corruption take root and we didn't take it seriously, and we still aren't taking it seriously. Nobody has the balls to say and do what needs to be done."

"I don't know if they fully realize that this attitude that honor is impossible means we are choosing the latter option. Nobody thought we could pull it off when we first came up with it, 200 years later, it was being modeled all over the world, and now everyone is acting like it was a stupid idea."

"Like I have said about anarchy even now, it only works if the people have a baseline level of principles. There are really only two choices. The population either has the principles and discipline to be free or they have to have a ruling class that dictates behavior and uses force to make it so."

"That's what the colonists came up with because they were really nervous about having any sort of authority figure again after King George. So they essentially came up with a voluntarist (anarchist) system where everyone would have a say and no one group or person would be allowed to have power."

"...and that widespread attitude makes me really depressed because it not only made it this long, it was pretty rock solid for most of that time, and people don't seem to know that that was the "grand experiment", that is what made America special. Nobody had ever tried self-governance before..."

"...sorta not better because everyone is so cynical now and I know that if I say it they will just call me old-fashioned but there are so many people basically saying that system was stupid because it was basically an honor system and they can't believe it lasted this long..."

I mean, he's probably higher up than me.

This is, of course, a hypothetical question. Or one I wish I could get a genuine response out of the MAGA crowd to. I know the answer is that the money will somehow find its way into the oligarchs pockets.

Oh I didn't keep my mouth shut😅 And I agree Kamala would have been easier to sway plus would have not destroyed America. Ultimately, and statistics prove this, Pro-Palestine/non-Kamala voters did not sway this election, which is why it's ridiculous to argue between each other on it now.

My mom always told me her plan for the apocalypse is just "to not." She simply refuses to exist the second dystopia fantasy becomes reality😂
