    This is why the United States public sits by with handwringing and zero action. Every admin since Nixon has been to the right of Nixon. Socially left and economically right is just right with a few concessions. They fragment, lie, white/pink/green/rainbow/sanewash our history, our education, our politics, our economy, our personalities, our health, our lives so that people think they are very clever and pay attention to garbage they shouldn’t, and view things to which we should give heavy attention via a fragmentary lens. And this is why fascism will win, here

      Hm, that is a pretty self-defeating attitude, and it kinda infers that instead of debating online that you should be out there fighting the system. I kinda agree with you, so I think your efforts are better off elsewhere.

      If you want, I agree that it shouldn’t be like that. So, I will just concede the argument, because I would rather we do better together than have you think that I like it that way or something. Is that fair?

        It’s self defeating on you, not me. Yeah as soon as I recover from a serious injury for which I am somewhere in between paperwork and approval, I’ll be back out there.
