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. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/3196 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics-mentione-cursing-mentioned │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @user-1475 @user-1476 @user-1280 @user-1074 @user-1477 @user-1478 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.

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.

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.

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?

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?
