ON THE SIDE OF GOOD
Ongoing work of Greenpeace and Jane Fonda, and by the way Lillie Tomlin, remind us of the benefit that can happen when people understand the good work that can occur from serious integrity.
RADICAL IDEAS WHEN CORRUPTION IS POLICY
Possibly many mainstream political voices within the Republican/Democratic duopoly would prefer everyone who supported other than their authority would simply grin and bear it. However, in FACT differing voices, considering the policies of the Democratic/Republican duopoly, given a few years for interpretation and accomplishment, feel justified and motivated to raise higher, voices not compliant to said authority.
FIRST WE NEED TO LIE TO OURSELVES….
Meritocracy has insultingly been held up as the system of the USA by Democratic strategists. Possibly the FACTS of that system are only poorly understood by those promoting it.
SELLING THE SIZZLE, NOT THE STEAK
The student-loan anomaly seems to be an example of capture of generations of the public into a requirement to support lifestyle that seems beneficial to hierarchy. If the reason for education is first to provide personal autonomy, debt is a bad start. When the debt pays for education that indoctrinates into an economic system that promotes the hierarchy that provides the education, more questions are raised. This seems to be an example of imperialism considered in an individual way, to keep it simple.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE USA?
War, inflation, pandemics, and obsession over Russia are the fog hiding the US for-profit health care system that isn’t. Not only was Bernie Sanders censored out of view, so was health care. We need a 1-payer comprehensive health care policy.
TECH THAT SERVES RATHER THAN ENSLAVES
We are careening into technological and political enslavement by hierarchical Establishment. Complicated process is not our friend, but is a weapon of aggression toward humanity and nature. Innocuous and trendy innovations that titillate portions of the public, can quickly come to entrap the entirety.
An argument can be made that this is the origin of Climate Change.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Power can be derived from the allure of wealth while other power is derived from integrity. Eventually the pain to the electorate from bedazzlement of wealth may be replaced by recognition of power as a result of integrity. It’s like turning an ocean liner.
CHALLENGE DELUSION
Indoctrination seems to be an ability to pretend to what can be obvious isn’t. This works best, it seems, during group think. Apparently it is soothing to agree with others, even if that requires delusion.
BUSINESS PRACTICE IN GOVERNMENT
News reporting concern for animals without including use of commercial actions that may undermine what is purported to be efforts friendly to pets, needs to be considered. Well-meaning rote without full information seems to be subterfuge by omission. This may seem acceptable as we run government like a business, and it may simply be another facet of bait-and-switch.
DEFINE PROGRESS
We have allowed predators to set the definition of progress in terms of greed, competition, exploitation, and aggression. Progress could be defined in terms of peace, good health, and equality. While we’re at it, we could consider the function of money may be obsolete. You can’t eat money, nor can you breathe money.
A BETTER PATH
With so many meaningful paths that can be followed, why are we on an apparent road to ruin of capitalistic hierarchical control?
IDENTIFY THE HOOLIGANS
The world general public have patiently tolerated the presumption by capitalistic hierarchical Establishment as they enacted laws to permit bad if not criminal behavior by their cronies, while labeling as criminals individual citizens attempting survival in a Pyramid-Scheme society. It is a wonder the number of people who fall in line to support this feudal style of life and government. Why have been pot smokers imprisoned while industrial polluters and looters are idealized on magazine covers? Why does the public succumb to the indoctrination by state-run-corporate-owned MSM? We need a Free Press.
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME
When government is run like a business the predictable result on a continuum is organized crime or fascism. The USA has a high incarceration rate of its residents, a justice system that seems to be in place to control according to class rather than crime, transfer of wealth from the 100% to the 1%, a policy of sending US jobs overseas that further exacerbates crime issues, and use of the military for aggression rather than defense.
INFLUENCE OF MEDIA
Your problem isn’t books.
And why would the entrenched interests within the Republican/Democratic duopoly consider untoward methods in retaining power that insult principles of a democratic (small d) Constitutional republic? Perhaps self-interest is a motive—–
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Some supporters of Bernie Sanders remain proud of their 2020 Democratic Primary choice, due to quality.
