AI was supposed to save the world.

These sociopaths have taken the only hope i ever thought we had and are going to use it to screw us. I want the money changers out of the temple NOW.

there’s more we can do. united, we can do anything. every great achievement of mankind was because people bound together to accomplish a goal. anybody can organize. governments and corporations don’t have a patent on organization.

we tried that in the early days of the internet. it didn’t work. once grandpa got on facebook, it was over.

look at one of those maps of america showing the red and blue areas. they have an in group that spans the width of the country nearly. we outnumber them but they have an empire of culture.

plus, it’s christian nationalism. they’re not going to give up that position. i’ve been watching it develop for a long time, i only see one way out of it.

but seriously. meaningful legislation is going to get torpedoed by republicans. the most important fight we can fight is to topple all conservative power.

there’s no point in trying to legislate when they know that everything they do will be sabotaged by the opposition.

bingo. who would care what a cretin thinks. now, the next problem is what do you do when they still get a say in what your life and the lives of others will be like?

their value system is completely opposed to ours. there is no point in any kind of good faith debate. they want in groups and out groups. they cannot be reasoned with. drop that entire concept and ask yourself what comes next if the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

i wonder if it’s possible to know where the stage would be set up in advance. i wonder if you could plant explosives that can evade detection.

i think they’re targeting the education system because it doesn’t teach their religion as the truth. i think it all circles back around to in group/out group behavior and they use their religion to enforce their in group. destroy religion. if they want to cling to it, they can go too.

and this is why religion has to go. how the fuck this archaic thought process still dominates modern society is beyond me, but i cannot see a way out of this until religion is stomped into the ground by any means necessary. it is literally one of the top three roadblocks to a humane world.

the great touring jam bands provided a wonderful environment to meet new people in back in the 90’s. the parking lots of grateful dead and phish concerts were chock full of society’s misfits, many of them well-read and witty (some of them not-so-much). It was not introverted at all - there were so many outgoing, lively, and fun people.

i think many of you are more outgoing than you give yourself credit for. you just live in a world where you don’t want to mingle with the inhabitants, and i think that might even reflect a skewed view of the outside world. i’m pretty far left and i still have fun in bars in little ranch towns in the western states. most of those people are more fun than your average morose, urban-dwelling shoe gazer.

good luck with either.

i expect the idiots to vote for him. the real collective stupidity is that the left seems to have no intention to put up a fight against these morons. apparently, if we lose the election, then “oh well, let me lay my head down so you can mash my face in with your boot”. it really sucks having limp-wristed do-nothings as allies.

exactly. we have to stop them from voting. i don’t care how it gets done, but we really don’t have a choice. they have to be stopped.

i don’t think it matters what their problem is. the solution is just to remove their ability to have a say in democracy.

nobody’s going to do that. i guess we’re all dumb because we don’t like your favorite band. grow up.

you’re a one trick pony. you just say “read marx” and strut around like that meant something. people don’t have to read marx to have valid opinions. i hope you can grow up to discover other things.

i’m absolutely serious.

you have to round up not only the people that peddle this shit but the people that are gullible enough to believe it and get them far away from the gears of society. i don’t care how you do it, or where they end up, or how it gets done, but it’s obvious that we cannot have a functioning society with these people in it.
