  • The Democrats engage in this exact same behavior. In fact they often either back the Republican efforts to disenfranchise people or fail to provide any counter narrative to dispel the lies which to me is basically tantamount to support. And then when they offer push back it’s in the stupidest way that ends up lending some kind of credence to the Republican outlook because there is some need to engage in bipartisanship action with insane people in search of a mythical centrist position that will unite us all.

    Let’s not pretend this is one side versus the other. Those bought and sold by institutional and corporate power are waging a war on the working class of this nation and much of the rest of the world. It is not left vs right it is owner vs worker.

    The reality is our “democratic” institutions are designed to limit the extent to which average people can effectuate change in our society. At every level there are layers of misdirection that are rife with opportunities to dilute the will of the voters and warp it into something that broadly serves the ruling class instead.

    People want free healthcare but instead of getting that we end up with some mildly better system that perpetuates the insurance industry being in control of what services a person is allowed to get both through price gouging and denials of service - just as one example. No solutions just Band-Aids to extend the longevity of the powers that be.





  • Don’t get me wrong, they definitely put some good things in the Constitution. I think they are mostly concessions to keep the average person (who this is has changed over the years as we’ve amended things to ostensibly expand voting rights) FEELING like they have a say when the reality is our Constitution contains tons of purposefully anti democratic structures in it.

    The Senate, the electoral college, the supreme court, and the independent presidency need to be done away with. We should instead have a unicameral parliamentary system where power comes from the people and is truly representative of their will.


  • I mean it’s by design right? Our government was made by oligarchs to protect oligarchs from the unwashed masses from the very beginning. We had some progress over the years and most notably after WW2 but this shit has overall been rotted to the core from day one and its only gone into hyperdrive since the 80s in the post Reagan era.

    Donald Trump being president is frustratingly not an aberration to this system we live under but rather is the outcome you’d expect from a society that only cares about enriching like 5 pedophile billionaires at the expense of literally every citizen in the country AND at the expense of the freedom and sovereignty of a significant portion of the global south and middle east.










  • Nothing you ever enforce on people will stop them from talking with one another. Some people like to gossip. I find it be largely inconsequential until the gossip turns into fomenting lies or targeted harassment but then that’s no longer gossip and is harassment and should be treated as such.

    I’d say lead by example and don’t engage with it yourself. What I would not do is fundamentally alter your presence to accommodate the gossipers or to avoid being targeted or something.

    No the moral of the story is to not put off the things in life that will make you happy or fulfilled to some more convenient time. Sometimes you gotta rip off the bandaid and try new things. Sometimes you’ll fail but you’ll be happy you tried and failed rather than never trying at all.
