 the flaw in your logic is that unleaded gasoline brings us no closer to
 eliminating gasoline.
 
 in fact, it removes one of the main drawbacks of gasoline, the fact that it
 would put fucking lead in our blood, and makes it slightly easier for people
 to accept burning it to get places.
 
 Now, with our unleaded gasoline, the people who were upset that lead was being
 aerosolized en masse are no longer in opposition to gasoline usage. (unless
 they also care about the environment)
 
 It's the same dynamic with voting democrat. Kamala won't save us, but she also
 won't dissolve the EPA or murder trans people, so... it's still worth a vote.
 
 "Ah but Ritz that goes against your previous argument - can you clarify?"
 
 sure. with a democratic victory, we have more time, which is what we need.
 
 Everyone knows who the fascists are. They don't need time. We do. Voting for
 Kamala and other democrats will give us time.

 the alternative is lateral thinking. In the given example with leaded
 gasoline, the answer is to limit the usage of all gasoline, not just the
 leaded kind. However that is not in the best interests of anyone, at least
 short term, so it's not likely to happen.
 
 lateral, long-term thinking. Do what you can in the moment to make the world
 better. Pick the best out of all the options presented to you, and if your
 options only treat the symptoms and not the problem, try and identify
 solutions that would treat the problem. Then, pick the better of the two
 options which treat the symptom, and moving forward work toward implementing
 the solution which fixes the problem.
 
 Hence, why we should vote Democrat, but ONLY with the real solution in mind.
 
 what kind of solution would you have? I know mine. I can tell you about it if
 you'd like. The most important thing is that you share and build for that
 future.

 A style of debate where the two parties take turns interrogating each other -
 like lawyers presenting their case by forcing the other party to answer their
 specific questions. In doing so they can highlight the logical flaws and
 inherent absurdities in each other's notion. And you have to be as truthful
 and honest as possible, or else the entire process is flawed. Giving each
 person in the debate a chance to speak their mind about how they feel about
 particular issues.
 
 Kinda like a caucus, where people debate for their chosen candidate 
 
 Democrats need to listen to what regular voters care about and like, do that.
 Instead they think "how much can we get away with while still delivering their
 51% of votes that secure us the nomination"
 
 And the most radical amongst us should be the most dedicated to the Democratic
 process. It is how we the people wield ourselves, our divine birthright
 granted to us all - to choose the circumstances of our living.

 What the person you voted for represented you?
 
 At the end of rue election, the top X percent of broad demographics each vote
 for a specific candidate, yeah? What if each candidate could represent those
 people specifically and any laws they made wouldn't effect people who they
 didn't represent. Sounds like a legislative nightmare doesn't it? And
 repealing laws, they'd only be repealed for their constituents.
 
 You'd need a github page to track the changes and each demographic's "forks"

 You know how we select from amongst our number electors and representatives
 who vote on our behalf?
 
 Truly an excellent strategy in the era of instant communication, an aft-gone
 luxury that our ancient forebearers surely would have incorporated into their
 nationbuilding design, if they had had it.
 
 I can't help but wonder if it would be a useful strategy to "give" our votes
 to a representative who voted on our behalf. Most people do not care and
 cannot possess the capacity to care about voting, but if they gave their vote
 to someone they trusted who they had a personal connection to beyond party
 loyalty, then perhaps we could mandate voting
 
 I can't help but wonder what that would do to our electoral landscape. If
 voting is mandated, and as easy as pointing at someone and saying "yeah
 whatever she picks", then perhaps the old white grannies with quivering lower
 lips who stare with hatred whenever a black person walks past and chat with
 their gal pals at church wouldn't have as much power over us.

 @user-1074 
 
 exactly!
 
 something immoral like not voting against fascism!
 
 ... okay maybe not the best example, but yes I agree you should only lose
 freedom if you demonstrably hurt people. And that freedom should not take with
 it your right to a happy, healthy, and safe life with community and love.
 
 Innocent until proven guilty becomes a lot easier with global surveillance,
 but with global surveillance there can be no unethical actions. And sometimes,
 to escape local minima, unethical actions are required.
 
 Though I'd rather build a ladder to climb out of a pit than a drill-dozer that
 explores through the graph.
 
 ... these days it kinda feels like drills are our only option, though. I feel
 less so that way after Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee over Biden.

 I personally think that it's better to act before the liberals have a chance
 to hand power over to the fascists.
 
 when? well, that depends. Are you part of a large and massive organization
 that accomplishes great and beautiful things with incredible efficiency... but
 rather slowly? Then yeah get working. I'm sure you already are.
 
 Are you just a person, like me? Then go do things that don't raise the
 temperature too much, but make you feel more confident and inspire those
 around you.
 
 Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get
 arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
 
 BUT if you meet with your friends and make plans for where to go, what to
 bring, who to know, and what to sing (if you're the musical types) then great!
 Go do that.
 
 If you're reading this and thinking "I'm not gonna do that, I have a plan
 that's so much better" then yeah do that instead. I don't mind. Just... don't
 hurt innocent (ignorant) people, because if you do then you are my foe.

 I dunno, from my perspective it's less about whether or not they're
 "unwitting" specifically and more like "lesser of two evils" - many of the
 republican people I knew in the past who were my age were utterly and
 absolutely convinced that if we didn't defend our homeland, somebody would
 come and kill us for it.
 
 It didn't really matter who that other was, they were convinced that someone
 would do it. So they supported the military and opposed loosening restrictions
 on immigration (instead preferring tighter restrictions, but more quantity. As
 in, "let in more people but only if we KNOW they're cool")
 
 I can't help but wonder if people join the military for the same reasons. Like
 standing atop the wall that divides "us" from "them", they put their backs to
 those they love and trust and face out toward whatever may come.
 
 The military is a very diverse place. I know a lot of other people do it just
 because it seems like a good, honest job.

 a more connected solution would solve so many problems, and introduce vastly
 fewer more.
 
 for example. wanna disenfranchise someone? take away their vote by framing
 them for a crime. This is an example of population manipulation, and it's

 I just watched the 2026 state of the union. I take back what i said about the
 Democrats - it must have been difficult to resist the waves of shame i could
 feel rippling off of the right half of the room. The way that the... "vibes",
 were wielded as a weapon against them, it was so intense. This is their job,
 they do it all the time. After listening to him speak for 2 hours I can't help
 but talk like him... Jeez it was like, one story after another, saying "here's
 something great an American did, here's a medal, here's why it's the Democrats
 fault" one after another like... Wow. (explain your feelings and conclusions,
 don't just remark on things and say "this should make you feel how my body
 language makes you feel" because that second way is in defiance of truth and
 in pursuit of nuance. Not ideal for real people who want to make real
 decisions based on what you say.)
 
 And the way that all his successes he recounted at the beginning were
 purposefully designed to create and enforce hierarchy, it makes me sick. I
 hate that. Then, when he claimed all of America in his closing statements
 "from Texas to michigan, from Florida to the dakotas" great, I guess my people
 aren't included. Thank god for that, we are nothing like you.
 
 Yet still, unity. I don't understand how these people can hold such power.
 They're just orchestrating vast swathes of people who aren't really listening.
 To do what? Who knows! Just live and let die I guess. Well, I'm not the type.
 
 I want unity for my people. I want to claim all Americans as my own. Yet the
 ways they delight in organizing themselves are cordially and crucially
 coercive and caustic. The hierarchies they build exert immense force on those
 below, yet they care not as the workers, the poor, the queers, the immigrants,
 and eventually, their peers, are one by one crushed or crippled from the
 demands that their cruel system demands. They do this on purpose - fascism
 must always have an other because it is inherently consumptive - it burns
 through all the wealth and blessings it can get its hands on. So too does the
 "successes" touted by Trump bring about a consumption of the self -
 auto-cannabilism of the nation, starting with the weakest amongst us.
 
 Why do you think our country is in decline? He calls it great, booming, and
 strong. I say he's straining a cracked foundation, that he's stepping on the
 weeping poor who struggle for warmth.
 
 I agreed with him on Iran, struggling to consider fighting beside Israel but
 they are our gateway to the middle east. The people there have had their
 hearts twisted and I do begrudge them for it. But Iran is evil too, so we have
 to do what we can for those who need us.
 
 The promises he made at the end resonated with me. Some of them were my words
 - take them! Be grateful. I also wish for a bountiful future for my people. I
 do, however, refuse to build that wealth upon the backs of slaves. Liberty
 often feels shackled by hierarchy, and the hierarchy of the wage is critically
 apparent in the modern day.

═══════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────────
 ===============================================================================
 =
 
 to lock eyes with a person while on your way to work is the intersection
 between
 two separate relationships - the relationship that you, the viewer, holds with
 your employer, and the relationship that they, the viewed, holds with their
 employer. in a sense, you are exchanging information through the weighted
 meanings behind a glance.
 
 ===============================================================================

 if the military deployed to police the police, we'd solve most of our racial
 justice issues. I mean, if we somehow could *force* them to do their damn jobs
 instead of oppressing people for the ruling class, then 90% of the problems
 would just go away. After that it's just freeing unjust prisoners and
 addressing
 wealth, education, and health disparities. Easy, right?
 
 Well... Military policing the police sounds fine when you first think about it,
 there's a few problems that might crop up. For example, how do the private
 citizens know that the military presence is there to help them? It's an
 interesting paranoia, one that is endemic within the left. There's no way to
 unwillingly cede control of your life to another - it must be consensual. At
 the basest and most violent level, it's as simple as "I will do what you say
 because I don't want you to hurt me."
 
 We've obviously grown as a species, and we've learned that violence is not the
 answer to all problems. Obviously. So why would we assume it of the past?
 
 Just saying. The police bombed a commune. The military escorted black students
 to their seats.
 
 Their structure is decided such that 
 
 ...
 
 where was I?
 
 oh right I was thinking about time.
 
 ...
 
 Imagine, if you will, an impossibly large hourglass. Spinning, or rather
 rotating, at an impossibly speedy repetition. It's spinning so hard and so fast
 that our matter is cast out of place
 and through time it is cast
 an eternity's canvas
 our light ever shined (shine-did?)
 astral magic is kinda neat
 
 it's also the scariest?
 
 oh by far
 
 but it's the most interesting
 
 ...
 
 Their structure is decided such that discipline and obediance is the most
 important thing. Because it kind of is? I mean, discipline is just being ready
 able and willing at all times, and obedience is just when you allow yourself to
 be directed toward a collective goal. The military is *all about that*, which
 means you know they would believe they were aligned toward the common goal of
 mutual prosperity.
 
 And if they were to discover that they were not, in fact, aligned toward the
 common goal of mutual prosperity, then perhaps they would adjust their navi-
 -computers and chart a more reasoned path. I know I would, and I would dedicate
 myself to the idea of serving others. To the path of the righteous, the holy
 and
 the true, a hand is outstretched and calling to you.
 
 Thus, the one of two types of ethical fighter - the reasoned and adaptable
 zealot
 
 the other, of course, is the master of the martial - the cherished of the few -
 who battle for their sport - and love unbidden the new -
 
 all other fighters, of absurdity and of rage, are frankly of a different kind
 and not members of our clade.
 
 ===============================================================================
 =
 
 okay, but what about like... all of the history of America post cold war? And
 even before, honestly... idk seems like a lot of evidence that the military is
 engaged in fighting unjust wars. I mean, they've all been over petty things
 like
 oil or support for communism or whatever. Aren't human lives and human
 sovereignty more important than that?
 
 I understand what you're saying. Human lives are unique and precious and they
 are a valuable commodity. Something to be maximized and focused toward. But
 there are only so many resources on earth. We need to utilize them in a
 reasonable way.
 
 We have optimized the efficiency out of our production and distribution
 networks. Corporate control has eroded our capacities until all that is left is
 the weakest of products, the cheapest of uses, and the useless of workers. I
 mean, they've optimized the skill out of individual human workers such that
 they
 are left completely unable to practice their craft. They become glorified code
 monkeys who generate whatever is required and think of it no more. There's no
 pleasure in the artifice, as their masters have eyes only of gold.
 
 Our world is changing. The very ground beneath our feet is shivering, and water
 is rising up to our noses. There's no time for debate, no honest appraisal of
 what's worth it to contemplate, we need a plan.
 
 We are trapped here, in this gravity well, for all time and all of our age.
 
 We are trapped here, because in greatest of misery we unleashed all of our
 rage.
 
 We are trapped here, as ghosts of the time when we were eager.
 
 ===============================================================================

 Alas, with but a glance, we are confined to our bedrooms by our mast(ers?)
 They say America will fall without it's 2nd place
 Perhaps.
 But are libraries really going to solve that?
 I mean, if work from home is inevitable, then wouldn't it make sense to build?
 We need more places where we won't be billed.
 Safe.
 From the demands and expectations of capital.
 Deranged and obscene and yet all that we've seen so why not bide as we're able?
 
 I think solarpunk is kinda neat.
 
 I think it's got promise as an idealized.
 
 Why don't we build churches to the sun? If we're gonna worship something, might
 as well be the source of our light and fire.
 
 Well... when you puff up the sun it tends to get hotter.
 
 I mean, every fire you burn increases the temperature, every release of gaseous
 fumes from the exhaust pipe of your car increases it by some miniscule amount.
 
 Every cigarette, every campfire.
 
 The cold darkness of space is kinda hopeful, in that regard, even if it doesn't
 disperse all that well. I heard spaceships are having difficulty because they
 can't get rid of all that heat. It just stays with the spaceship and never goes
 anywhere because it doesn't have anything to stick to. Kinda makes me think
 that
 energy is a fluid? Just saying???
 
 I mean c'mon it's not like nobody has ever thought of that. But it's in a
 different dimension! It's not like we're ever gonna be able to impact that!
 
 You try and impact it through your scientific ways and you'll find nothing but
 heartache at the life you could have lived (laived? Haived?)
 
 ... why
 
 Because you cannot impact another dimension. You must call to it, like a song
 to a sparrow.
 
 ... that's fucking ridiculous
 
 No it's true!
 
 ...
 
 ... Don't try it with fire.
 
 ... fuck - what do I try it with?
 
 I don't know just not fire. Try water.
 
 ... How do I make sure it doesn't instantiate within my hand?
 
 Jeez you think of some crazy backfires! Just breathe and go for it. It's not
 rocket science. It actually works.
 
 Fuck you.
 
 ...
 
 ... Sorry I was just scared
 
 ...
 
 ... How do I make it stop? I don't want it to go forever
 
 By smoking more of the devils lettuce.
 
 ...
 
 ... You cannot drag it part of the way. It must come the whole way. In fact you
 should not be dragging it at all, you should be *calling* to it. You are equals
 in this exchange, have respect.

 the fascist's plan requires them to lose. Their whole business model is to
 dupe a succession of rubes and get rich in the process. Trump being elected
 the first time was a surprise, which is why they couldn't manage to get much
 done. The infrastructure needed to legitimize fascism was resisted at every
 turn by the lawyers and government workers who were in place.
 
 however, due to a recent supreme court ruling, they no longer need to worry
 about people resisting their rule through the powers granted to them by their
 stations. All they have to do is ask if they're loyal, and if not, they can be
 replaced.
 
 In 2016 they just wanted to get rich. Recently they had a shot, thank god that
 Biden is a savvy politician and knew how to tank their attention and focus
 their attacks on weaknesses that Kamala did not possess, like his age and
 mental lucidity.
 
 They are going to lose, they know it, and they're going to be pissed, so... be
 ready for that.
 
 on the bright side, they will lose each time

 the more they have to do to make us declare war, the worse it'll be for their
 citizenry. So long as the citizenry believes they're better, and everything we
 can do to convince them otherwise weakens their media weather.
 
 who cares about trans executive orders. they are our enemy, what else is new?
 they have power now, and they will try what they can. This is like taking the
 internet away from chinese citizens and instituting a national intranet
 instead. Like, okay, we won't be able to get estrogen from the store. Who
 cares? We'll just make our own.
 
 If people actually care about us, which they overwhelmingly do, there's very
 little materially they can do.
 
 until they're further down the "first they came for..." list. then they'll
 come for us liberals, and gosh wouldn't that just be the worst. Who is there
 to contest them? What valorous warriors indeed.
 
 you're asking for mountains from a mole. have peace, have patience, let your
 allies intercede. This kind of thing requires discusion to protect life

 Ya'll are so upset because it feels like you failed, that this country failed
 you, that everything is doomed because this country is not the one you thought
 it was, all these takes and vibes.
 
 They're all fucking wrong.
 
 Tens of millions of us voted the other way.
 Tens of millions of us voted for democracy.
 Tens of millions of us voted for liberty.
 
 That is a fuckload of people. We're far stronger than they are. I pray we are
 bolder as well.
