Merkin.
Haven’t priced them lately. Is that a good price for a merkin?
My fellow merkins?

You are looking for a Great Man of history to pin this on. You’d rather believe someone nefarious is in charge and pulling the strings from an ocean away, than to see this for what it is; an empire with no real conscious oversight.
No, I just prefer to have realization of all of the components.
A pile of self-interested businessmen, politicians, and militarists doing whatever they can to line their pockets, profits above all else.
Agreed.
The US has, per capita, the largest prison population and, outright, the biggest military on the planet. If there’s a road to ‘unfreedom’, we traveled down it a long time ago.
Also agreed. As I said before, we were on this path, many made it worse. Putin put it on steroids.

I recommend you read up. And quit sounding like you’re on Putin’s propaganda team: ‘oh that’s cold war nonsense’
Putin funded Trump, fed him the whole Obama’s a Kenyan schtick, Hilary’s a criminal ploy.
Trump can’t think up or accomplish a damn thing without a cheer squad to goad & lead him where to go.
Tom Snyder’s the Road to Unfreedom has the path well researched. I highly recommend you read that.
Yes, Rupert Murdoch had been warring against real news since Reagan (Bush’s puppet) withdrew laws that required stations labeled ‘News’ carry truth & news
Yes, Reagan was an early predecessor to the incompetent celebrity politician role that Trump walks. Yes, Danny Quayle was a shining example of idiocy in politics.
Putin saw these things the Murdoch & Bush families put forth & jumped on the band wagon, gave it a nitro boost. Not much difference? Follow the money.

It’s no fanfic. It’s assessing the enemy. Kind of important to do if you want to beat em.
Don’t be a snowflake. The right is claiming that territory madly.

Word Putin planted his seed with Trump in his greatest enemy (democracy/America). It quickly caught on & has spread globally.

How is this fascist right wing shit show not a global debacle? Putin, Netenyahu, Bolsanaro, Trump… Italy & Germany both rolling right. North Korea (of course) and Xinny the Pooh.
Does Britain’s finally dumping the Tories (after a decade & a half+) make them one of the few to break left at this time on the global stage? {Something about broken clocks being right from time to time.}

Do they provide written material on ‘How to beat a dead horse’?
Maybe a dummies guide?
- Comment on "Theory" of Evolution (SMBC) 1 week ago:
The pioneers in some fields are calling for studying (or renaming it) INvolution as opposed to evolution, as it has much to do with involved interactions with other life forms (bacterial, fungal).

Except that horizontal gene transfer happens.
Genes are not always gained from ancestors

Set to be revolutionized by AI because AI can’t do math.

It’s down (&up!) to us to teach them.
Internet runs on open source. Facebook, Google, Apple, twatter, Microsoft are all ways they’ve painted it, but the bare bones of the net is based on open source servers.
Open sourced communications are what need to be used, developed (fediverse seems like a nice collaboration of platforms, a restart). Back to Usenet! (Dunno…just spitballing here)
We need to focus on World Wealth rather than hoarding imaginary currencies.
My mind’s eye of Wealthy Earth is a place where everyone is connected to, sustained by, developmental of, & grateful to our collective Earth ship that circles the sun for daily, yearly sustenance & inspirations.
Note to self: Learn to connect! Learn to grow! Learn to build. We don’t need governments, corporations or boundaries to build a better planet. They’re stop gap measures who’s times are due. They’ve fostered disconnection, dependencies: we’ve been Stockholm syndrome capitalists for thousands of years. We don’t need capital to connect with plants, fungii, & the billions of microbiomes within our own bodies and in our environments. We need ourselves & each other. We need to cultivate understanding & exchange with the Earth for foods, medications, shelters & toys (transportation, computer & other technologies to name a few). Anything done by corporations or governments was done by humans. We can do better with and without the greedy overlords by combining & collaborating knowledge & experience in pursuit of healthier, happier, balanced & creative life on Earth. Do it with gratitude.
I want to believe that we can each develop a connection that provides us with basic needs (food, shelter, medication, transportation & dress) and close or local communities that help grow those connections to fruition, as well as tend to greater aspirations & larger needs (computers, conversations, medical development).
Looking to RichardStallman& LinusTorvalds with gratitude for open source software bounties; Paul Stamets, Merlin Sheldrake & the brothers McKenna for reminders that decomposers provide composers with building blocks & insight. The grift of capital culture needs to be lichen-ized/myco-remediated. Their shit stinks & has too long poisoned the planet.
Grow, brew, build, & create better wherever you may be. This whole planet can regrow to be an Amazonian Eden - and beyond!
