when I get concerned about the political divide in my country, I think about
this map from the New York Times of the number of political donations across
the country before the 2016 democratic primaries.
I think we're gonna be fine. I'm not scared of Trump because rural areas, where
republicans tend to be, have the same problems that everyone else does. Bernie
Sanders was well known as someone who could talk to an average republican voter
and sway them to his side. I remember watching videos of his interviews (in
front of a live audience) on Fox News or CNN or whatever and at first, they'd
be hostile to him. At the end, they'd give him a standing ovation.
I think we have more in common with other working class people than they do
with their republican leaders. I also think we have more in common than them
than we do with our democratic leaders, but I think that just shows how I feel
about authority.

The most important programming language to master is pseudocode.
With a firm grasp of pseudocode in your toolbox, you can solve any problem in
any language.

Yes, I have very little faith in the democratic process in my country.
Unfortunately, while democracy is crucial to fair, honest, and just
representation, as you said it's unlikely that democracy would be allowed to
exist if it threatened the power of the powerful.
Thus, our twisted form that sorta works, but requires a LOT of effort and a LOT
of maintenance. More than the average person can give.
They've tuned it to be JUST dysfunctional enough to overwhelm our natural
innate tendencies to contribute to "the tribe of tribes", while leaving it just
functional enough such that if you work your ass off with ALL of the people who
agree with you, then MAYBE you might get a measure on the ballot for something
insignificant (which won't pass, because why would it?)
I have faith in people, not the democratic process, for I have faith in
democracy, but not the process.

I don't think the "capitalist elite" really have an ideology. Ideas are weapons
they use and discard when it suits them, like strapping 15 handguns to your
person in order to avoid needing to reload.
Good thing there's more than 15 of us.

trails come and go, as there's often little reason to visit the same place
twice.
I wouldn't worry about them.
