IS INFLATION THE EUPHEMISM FOR GOUGING?
Some people call it gouging while some people call it inflation. Hoodwinked is the result.
WHITE SUPREMACY IS A STATE OF MIND
C-Span hosted discussions from the general public that are more pertinent to reality than most of anything heard from our so-called leaders.
BAIT AND SWITCH IN POLITICS
The good news about the state of governance in the USA is that more of the electorate is beginning to pay attention and question those who are in power.
WOMEN AS BAIT
“Made a deal with the devil”? It’s like we’ve identified the devil. Some people were excoriated in the 2020 Presidential election when they didn’t “hold your nose and vote”. Can we hear from the Democratic-base voices? The campaign-strategy accusations of racism seem curiously close to home.
RELIGION AND POLITICS
One wonders if it is supposed to be impolite, discussion about politics or religion, the better for hierarchical Establishment to use both to control We The People. Perhaps this also keeps the public in the dark about ideas other than those in each particular cubicle of thinking.
THE GOOD GUYS
One takes a wild guess here that the shooter was male; and armed for specifically said occurrence when a “good guy with a gun” was needed. Domestic violence targets will attest to the benignity of such characters until they’re not.
CODED FOR POLITICS
Anyone who has been a consumer for 50 years or more is aware of the reality of planned obsolescence. We surely have a throw-away society with consumers indoctrinated into expectations of products that are cheap, superficial, often useless, and manufactured for short-term use in order to encourage repurchase on an ongoing treadmill. Our landfills are testimonies to progress based on greed, exploitation and privilege rather than progress based on good health, equality, and peace.
IS ECONOMY EUPHEMISM FOR DICTATORSHIP?
If people were living in a dictatorship, could control best be wielded over said people by using euphemism rather than direct challenge of control due to dictatorship? For example, if hierarchy stated boldly that the system of government precisely was in place to protect and promote interests of said hierarchy, said people could become restless. But if an idea was imposed in place of the concept of a system in place to protect and promote hierarchy, was used in place of direct language, people could become compliant. What if the euphemism used was “the economy”? Is this notion worthy of discussion?
PEACE AND LIBERTY
What is the message that is sent either accidentally or intentionally sent by John Lennon as he mimics the stance of our Lady Liberty? Can we manifest both liberty and peace?
LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Remembering that the Haudenosaunee are said to be the origin of principles included in the US Constitution that don’t appear to rest on a foundation of capitalism but rather on a foundation of free enterprise as pertains to but are not limited to financial matters, hope continues that culture as lived pre-colonization can triumph. Time will tell. Meanwhile, Upstate NY is benefiting, so far, from said leadership. The hope builds that we remember nature and the wilderness.
DOUBLE TALK NATION
Politics has used misogyny for campaign promotion, especially among Democratic strategists, and particularly against “especially white women”. One has refused to be shamed into silence by said misogyny campaigns, and continues to speak the FACTS of danger to women in general from patriarchy.
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.
FOG OF POLITICS
Colonization is the reason Indigenous People are denied human and environmental rights with the excuse from occupiers that they bring progress and profit that generally is a diluted lifestyle for local-community members—-
MATURE LEADERSHIP
PR for political parties Democratic and Republican seem to groom their clients to maintain a sorority/fraternity persona, that harms most people attempting real life. It’s also not a good look for a leader. Maturity and interest seem better.
