They may return to us if they choose, when they realize that we were right all
along.
Otherwise, they might feel disenfranchised and choose to disengage. That is
expected and allowed.
Others amongst them might go right. Fuck 'em, they always cared for gold over
lives.
You are right, their methods have not worked. They have sustained our society
up to this point and for that I thank them - but we are entering a new age for
our country, and we shall build it as a federation.
They are more than welcome to observe and offer insight from their years spent
observing and wrestling with Republicans, but understand that much of their
insight is dealing with their elite class of politicians and not with who you
and I might come across on the street.
They are encouraged to learn from us. To do otherwise is at best to neglect
our only route to a bright future - at worst it is to obstruct us, to delay
us, to keep us running in circles.
Find the people who are sabotaging our efforts and move on

We never ended slavery, we just started paying people for it.
We never ended imprisonment, we just enslaved people to sit around and rot in
a cage.
"oh how about instead of sitting around, we make them build license plates?"
What if - hear me out - we freed them but kept them from harming others
through constant vigilant surveillance until their sentence was through? And
made it unconstitutional to surveil anyone else in a personally identifiable
manner?
Like, maybe puppy-murder-bots are okay if they follow violent criminals around
and can be controlled by a human operator if a violent situation emerges
Prison is meant to give people a period of solitude and contemplation, to
consider their choices and make a better life for themselves. If they're old
as dirt when they leave, they cannot live. If they have no capabilities, they
cannot apply themselves to a good life. If they have no resources or
community, they will do what they can to survive.
Much better, I think, to nourish them as you would a child or immigrant. Much
better to pay them for their hours and years of life, so they might revel in
society with the kind of us. Much better, I think, for the liberty of a
citizen to be granted to those who both need it and can care for it. For
liberty unjustly used is an utmost betrayal.
But liberty to choose which gutter to die in and the freedom to starve is
hardly just.
I know I owe my life to my government, an institution of my people, by my
people, and for all people. I should not owe my life to a corporation, though
with the liberty to choose which to sell myself to. That is not freedom. That
is starvation.
Does the needs of a few outweigh the labor of the many? Or are those who
sacrifice a bit of liberty for a bit of security still free to do as they will?
We are not alone so long as we are outside. Indoors, they claim us.

we could accomplish so much, but capitalism.
hmmmm, maybe we should identify the highest output members of our team and
like, reduce or eliminate their worries so they can apply themselves fully and
completely?
for every shackle we break, the struggle becomes easier. The hardest part is
the beginning - once the ball is rolling, we may truly shine.
there is no government nor circle of autocrats who may resist the will of an
impassioned people. So long as the military does not deny us our right to
organize ourselves as we will, according to the constitution they swore to
uphold (which is now in peril, I might add), nothing can contain us.
no acts of god nor capital shall prevent our ascension. They will try, and
it'll be just another thing that we have to handle.
But we can take care of each other. For we are good, and we are kind, and we
are cooperative. And so, we cannot be overcome.
... just watch out for those who prey on goodness, kindness, and cooperation.
They may hamper us.

a disaster, but you can get through it. just... build a schedule for every
single person on earth and suddenly nobody has freedom unless they put "doin'
what I want" on their moment-to-moment card
