COMPARE COMMUNISM AND CAPITALISM
One has shared stories from RT recently, and believes this is considered offensive from some quarters. The presumption would be that said sharing represents affinity toward communism. FACTually speaking the intention is more nearly as a comparison between communism and capitalism, which use tactics and seem to have hierarchical motivation that are alarmingly similar. In other words, the purported fear of communism isn’t so much that people would jump on the communistic bandwagon but that currently-indoctrinated people on the capitalistic bandwagon would recognize themselves in the communist targets.
NATURAL CAPITAL
We need to remember reality, especially on the meaning of capital. Here are a few topics toward that end.
QUESTION DECEPTION
On a MSM Team Red/Blue “show” last night, one heard a “reporter” announce that among “democracies”, the USA was a baby. Not having verified but remembering info from years ago, it seems the USA has the oldest continuous government in the world. This is to the benefit of the USA, if only politicians and bureaucrats could act accordingly.
PEACE AND WAR
One believes the following book by Tolstoy was banned in Russia. Oligarchs (those who steer public opinion for personal promotion) are similar.
TREEHUGGER AND HISTORY
That the phrase treehugger originated byway of followers of Hindu and possibly again byway of followers of Buddhism come as no surprise.
WE’LL HOLD YOUR COAT
A reason some people trust the Green Party is the ability and willingness to discuss differences of opinion on topics crucial to our political system and our foreign affairs.
HISTORY AND CURRENT EVENTS
One has immersed oneself in study of historical Christianity due to ignorance on the topic, and wishing to enlighten oneself. The reason is that one seems to live in what is tending toward a Christian theocracy. The take away from historical reading including said info being straight as possible from the horses’ mouths (Josephus and such) supports the following personal views—
REAGAN CONCEPTS WERE A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK
We still are subjected to Conservative propaganda of the Reagan wonder years that were a lie then and are rewritten history today. The harm to We The People is real and the time needed for the public to understand the extent of the lie, and then to act accordingly, may be long. Denial seems to be the reason for ongoing Reagan worship in the same way as is the denial in ongoing Trump worship.
CORPORATE RULE
Conversations about tariffs are long overdue. Tariffs that support sale of US products are sensible. When the products add to Climate Change as compared to products from foreign nations, an obvious problem has arisen. While the Trump tariffs seem to have been imposed on only a targeted group of products, it is of interest that after imposition prices of many products manufactured in foreign nations automatically rose, even if the Trump tariff wasn’t imposed upon those particular products.
CONSIDER HISTORY ASIDE FROM INSTITUTIONS
I’m interested in those with the courage to look behind the curtain, so to speak. One way to do so is to research history; and in particular history pertaining to people rather than institutions.
CONSIDER ORIGIN OF VIEWS
The following tweet calls for corroburation. The conclusion confirms what one has suspected for years, which is that earning a degree from an institution of higher learning is indicative of institutionalized indoctrination into patriarchal capitalism. Apparently this goes along with enrichment of patriarchal capitalistic hierarchy as suggested by accompanying heavy debt load by those so inculcated.
WHILE WE STILL HAVE FREE SPEECH
Aside from teaching Native American history in schools, one was interested to watch MSM hosts, during the Queen Elizabeth funeral, bring up the topic of monarchy and the FACT of treatment of Indigenous People in the many colonies of UK, without mentioning that one of these colonies was the USA pre-Revolution, with devastation of Native Americans that continued from the beginning to the current day. This seems to be a special level of oppression of Native Americans.
INTRINSIC NATURAL RIGHTS
King Charles may be sufficiently aware to “feel the weight of history”. This is good news.
NATURAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY
C-Span hosted a discussion about the US history of wire taps. Also mentioned seemed to be the view that such surveillance as used by tyrannical government in modern times, originated and were perfected in the USA. That’s an interesting notion if FACTual.
BREAK THROUGH
C-Span hosted a discussion this morning on the topic of ranked choice voting. The benefits of choice using ranked choice are entering the thought process of more voters, and may one suggest due to efforts by 3rd-Party voices. The D&R duopoly haven’t spread information about ranked choice voting benefits to voters for obvious reasons of control that underwrites the authoritarian character of the duopoly. This also raises the topic of the influence of 3rd-Party voices that may have been censored by regulations from the R&D duopoly, that have still managed to censor said voices off of ballots and away from debates, but but which 3rd- Parties nonetheless have broken through to some of the electorate by nothing more than moral authority.
