My dad refuses to see or hear any evidence that may break his mental gymnasts back. He actually behaves like a toddler, by screaming and flailing to avoid some bitter medicine. I mean literally squeezing his eyes closed, yelling and flailing his arms when I try to show him what he has done
I love people like her. She reminds me of my cousin. The level of dedication to the wellbeing of her kids is unreal to me.
Deciding not to have children, because we can’t meet some ideals, seems a common trait with childhood trauma. I didn’t have a maliciously abusive upbringing, but a neglectful one. My siblings and I also have strong feelings against having kids.
You are a good person to encourage getting passion back into people’s lives. There are too many of us who feel like we are those nested matryoshka dolls; a shell of a shell, of a shell, with our passions replaced by empty depression.
Your friend can be honored by all who read and think about this comment. She was a light in the darkness, and a soft touch, when all you knew was pain. She left a mark on you, so honor her by making a mark on others. My guess is that you already have and are…
That is what I mean. The “white moderates” that MLK wrote about. Folks who agree with a movement’s goals, but ultimately fail it out of their own selfish reasons for keeping the status quo.
It’s rhetorical, because it’s kind of delusional to think one or few can have the talent and resources needed for the situation. It’s disheartening, because we need direction, but any leaders that rise will be immediately oppressed. Without direction, many may react in a manner that escalates the problem, putting further constraints on any resistance group we hope is lurking in the shadows.
There are millions of his base that are victims of bad associations. People who would be more decent, if it weren’t for the natural pressure to conform to social groups for belonging. Most of these people don’t go to church to find the “truth” of the universe, but rather to socialize. They want human connection like everyone. In many rural areas, there are no secrets, so others know if you’re not “clicking” with them. Now take this tight-knit group who shares many identity traits, and mix in propaganda that plays the field well. Now you have a captive group. Anyone within the group will be ostracized if they’re not in lockstep. We must understand the gravity of it. They lose their complete social world, and are left alone in the boonies. I’m not sure how the situation can be helped, other than stopping the flow of lies showered onto them. How, at this point? I don’t know.
Bernie Sanders was a figure to unite us at a pivotal point in our history. There are many rural reds who supported Bernie. We missed that opportunity. Too many “white moderate” types were too dense/selfish to recognize the moment. Instead, we went for the status quo, who eventually revealed herself as a genocide denier type. Next chance to go for change, we install the status quo again, and he was incompetent in dealing with reality. He couldn’t make out the writing on wall.
I haven’t observed, or maybe recognized, what you mean by us pulling down rising leaders; who and how?
We all may feel some impulse to act, even violently, but have a great feeling of uncertainty because there are no leaders. We need direction based off of game theory, or something. We need strategies that are surgical, because be real — we are outgunned. Yes, there are gun owners on the left, but come on, you know who has the lion’s share. Not only that, but we are different in that we hesitate to harm, because it’s the last thing we want. My dad kills animals for pleasure, but I do not. Also, if you aren’t armed now, you better do so immediately, because the gun nuts are not going to blink an eye when we are inevitably denied access.
We need real strategy. Daggers in a select few hearts may be enough to shift things.
Are there organizations or groups that do this? They would have to do it in secret, so how could we know? So it seems we’d have to assume we couldn’t know and form our own? Honestly, please clue me in!

If the money is corrupting all players and steering the agenda, why not go after it? When we strike directly at agents of force, then we are directly attacking family and friends of a multitude of others, including of folks that may be trying to reconcile things. It will rile up his base into murder frenzy. Many undecided (dummies) will get swept up in the frenzy, because they’ll defer thinking to others around them. The rabid base have few relationships with their oligarch masters.
Lobotomize their think tanks.
Cut out the tongues of their media propagandists.
Bring any and all levels of direct action against the class that is causing this.
I heard this on BBC radio for the first time. BBC used the press release info from the propagandists. Infuriating!
Alex Pretti is a hero of humanity! Curse anyone who says otherwise!
You know what I mean: city, county, state
Fight back! But consider:
Agreed. We should commandeer it wherever we can for the immediate term, but we should ultimately leave the Democratic Party in the waste bin of history.
Let Schumer and Jeffries know that they are cunts, and will always be remembered as Democratic Cunts, the party that bent over for fascism.
Yeah, I feel my hypocrisy. I am trying to understand more, but my mind always ends up melting. Individuals I’ve met that maybe could do what I want done are a different breed from me. I am pushing myself to understand more, but I am pushing uphill and it will take years before I can achieve what probably so many all around the world could do now. While I sharpen myself, I ask: who were those in the V masks of years past?
Cut out the lying tongues of the propagandists!
These behaviors will only get worse, unless we change the system. We just need to help each other understand that, and then execute it!
Where are the hactivists?! Are they all too well employed?
It’s paramount, but our focus isn’t there. Our neighbors are who we see. Our neighbors are attacking us. It’s hard to see the invisible forces pinning neighbors against each other.
