FRIGGED SYSTEM
In a republic run similarly to a Pyramid Scheme and not a democracy, the euphemism for price gouging appears to be inflation.
FREE PRESS IN THE BALANCE
The cash sent overseas to “save democracy” would be better used to uplift We The People. Knowledge is power and the American people possess neither.
DIVERSITY BEYOND BLACK AND WHITE
We must understand the depravity of health of species that must be suggested by a 70% decrease in wild animals since 1970. Diversity is precisely that which maintains the best possibility for health in animals and plants, and unencumbered by interference by humanity, which is the definition of wild, seems to suggest support from natural sources such as, for example, The Creator in any way one imagines She/It/He/Cause-And-Effect.
PATRIARCHY IS GLOBAL
Anthropomorphizing of Creation stories by politicians and bureaucrats to excuse the all-to-human failure called war, by labeling, using language of institutionalized religion, which is patriarchal, by using such words as Armageddon, in a nation founded on principals that don’t seem to support either imperialism or state religions, could be a topic of discussion.
QUESTION STATUS QUO
Some people have called for a definition of progress in terms of peace, good health, and equality rather than a progress defined in terms of aggression, exploitation and greed. It is incomprehensible when hearing policies and actions to make work, a progress that uses finite resources in pursuit of infinite growth. How obvious can it be that “trickle down” promotes exactly that definition of progress. In other words, those who follow this line of propaganda are simply whistling past the graveyard.
CAPITALISM AND YOUR DOG
Reference to capitalism when one could as well have used the label tyranny is based on a society that is obsessed with money as a measure of normal.
STORIES THEY TELL US
Questions can be as important as answers to establish reality about topics that most of us haven’t absorbed.
9/11 AND NATIONAL SECURITY
We The People are spending too much time catering to and cleaning up after oligarchs. One area about which this is true seems to be energy production, where the air is sucked out of the room by fossil fuel industries. Support of a dirty and obsolete industry for the sake of nostalgia and inertia feels dangerous. Consider a few new ideas.—-
DE-INDOCTRINATION
Maybe not forever or for everyone, but surely this seems a lifestyle that should be available. What if more communities offered de-indoctrination spaces? Would mental health improve? Could spiritual health be remembered?
DILEMMA
Liz Cheney has acted as a supporter of democracy to an extent that caused personal harm to her, and she is anti-Choice and possibly pro-capitalist. This seems to imply that a politician who is probably pro-capitalist, has valued democracy over hierarchical privilege.
DOES MEDIA PUT WORDS IN MOUTHS?
(and thoughts in minds?)
This morning at about 9:03AM the host of C-Span made the odd assertion that Americans were “okay” with US military global occupation of foreign nations including the 70-year occupation of the Korean DMZ. Some people have continually mentioned the unprincipled imperialism by the USA, including the Monroe Doctrine and the Doctrine of Discovery that seems to have been used in spirit if not in documented FACT to excuse American aggression into foreign nations. This type of nonchalant and incorrect assertion seems to maintain indoctrination of the US public away from investigation or consideration of the warning by President George Washington to stay out of foreign nation affairs in order to best protect US national security interests. The warning by President George Washington might also diminish the paranoia and fear around the globe of other nations.
YOU CAN DEFINE THE 21st CENTURY
Language matters especially from bureaucracy that can shape the lives of We The People. This change in language in NYS reminds of a decades-old sit-com called Designing Women. Included in the characters was a handyman who was imminently likable and dependable but wore a perpetually worried look on his face while often punctuating his conversation with reference to his “unfortunate incarceration”. This seems to have been a subtle political statement about the times of such policies and laws as stop and frisk.
THE ECONOMY, STUPID?
Biden ‘splains “core inflation” to America, in which the inflation rate is 0%, considering the price of somethings went up while the price of other things went down. For example, cheaper are diamonds, yachts, foreign boarding schools, and high-end vehicles. Unfortunately food, gasoline, day care, housing, health care and family vehicles are priced out of availability for the average consumer. (This isn’t necessarily a quote but more nearly a paraphrase dripping with sarcasm…and yes the use of sarcasm implies derision)
IS DESPAIR THE GOAL?
Considering the happy profits captured by Pentagon contractors reported in the commondreams link below, a thoughtful person will weigh this good fortune against the resulting human deaths that are inevitable in war zones, lost opportunities for upgrading of lifestyle for American citizens rather than producing war machines, and use of the US military personnel as placeholders who have figuratively tread water for the length of time of their service when meaningful activities could have been supported instead.
