Defecating on the Bill of Rights is negating whatever it was that theoretically made America great. Hence the entire MAGA endeavor shoots itself in the foot . . . while it supports indiscriminate murder. Anger and Grief seem the only sane emotional responses to this level of hypocrisy.
I can't really disagree, which is why I said "theoretically". I was taking the de Tocqueville view -- the potentiality . . . which never manifested as true greatness because corruption and untrammeled hubris birthed it as Native genocide, chattel slavery, manifest destiny, and imperialism.
Interesting take. Made my twisted mind think of this -- Some comedian should do a video, dressing in 18th century garb to impersonate de Tocqueville. Start by reading from his writings extolling the new country and its bill of rights. Then ominous music. Then de Tocqueville reappears looking near death and terribly troubled and shouts in half English, half French: "mais non, bon dieu, you stupide culs just had to fuck it all up".
Not only supporting massive slaughter, but also the cracking down of our rights. The right bitched about censorship during Biden, but now they are cheering it on because it’s their man in charge. Fcking hypocrites.
The guy that shot a health insurance executive to death. Regarded by some as a hero or even a saint. My opinion he is a criminal. However if that kind of vigilante justice is acceptable there are lots of dual citizenship folks participating in a verifiable genocide.
CJ>>"We are not separate from what’s happening in Gaza, as hard as we might try to make ourselves feel that way. Gaza is here. There’s no getting away from it. Gaza has been brought right to you and laid at your feet."
"AND IT'S UP TO YOU HOW YOU'RE GOING TO RESPOND TO IT."!!!
Take heed people, this doesn't stop at Gaza. The WHOLE WORLD is next (and it has already started - as can be seen from the actions taken by the US)! We need a revolution NOW!!!
The ideas percolating, circulating, and bouncing around and off all the edges of my brain are too "emotionally charged" to be openly expressed in public spaces - you know what I mean.....that's where I'm at.....having looked at previous revolutions in history (and how evil forces have been overcome in the past), what's needed may involve an immense amount of death and destruction (and pain for everyone) and a changing of world order.....
I don't know.... I'm an athiest, but if I'm wrong and there is a God, then God please do something!!!
I know exactly what you mean. I'm of two minds: one mind says, "if only I were younger and more mobile, physically adept etc, etc." The other says, "but then I wouldn't be so nonchalant about facing my own extinction -- glad to put my broken body on the line if it would actually accomplish anything!"
Being an atheist as you state do you just call upon God when you're in trouble do you have it within your soul to praise him when you're down and hurting I know what I'm talking about do you?
Actually, I don't call on him for anything - but I do respect the concept of God and the neccessity for humans to believe in such a concept.
I don't praise God (something that is man-made), but I do show gratitude for many things and attribute it to many things (but not God).
When I am down and hurting, I approach the situation without the need for believing in the concept of 'God'.
If believing in God works for you (as it works for billions of others), then by all means go ahead - I will support you in your beliefs (as it does not interfere with my beliefs - I am a humanist and NOT a militant athiest).
Thank you for your quick response it does make me feel bad that I was so harsh with you but seeing your response eases my guilt some because you still have a long way to come because it's going to get a whole lot worse and before it's over you're going to be praising something and damning something else whether you want to or not.
It's your choice it's the free will that the Amighty gave us all,
My beliefs in God are complex - like Schrödinger's cat or the double-slit experiment in Quantum mechanics that shows wave-particle duality - i.e. I BOTH believe AND NOT believe in God at the same time (yes, this is difficult for many to comprehend).
I hold two contradictory beliefs (that normally cancel each other out) in my brain. When it's time to think logically (and scientifically), the NO GOD belief takes over. When it's time for emotions, the YES GOD belief takes over. Surprisingly, BOTH these beliefs are in harmony in my mind - hence it doesn't really matter to me if someone believes (or does not believe) in God.
What is more important (IMHO), is morality, hurting other people, doing good in the world, helping others, etc. One doesn't neccessarily need to believe in God to be 'a force for good' in the world.
It's gradually happening and it's exponential. Look at what's happening nationwide and worldwide! The kids are unifying and exercising discipline. They're organized and mobilized! No revolution happened overnight.
Not now. There's too much to be done. There's more groundwork to be laid.
What are our assets? We have the numbers but need unity and discipline. First we must educate which is where we're at now. Then we must organize. Then we mobilize! Tadaa, REVOLUTION!
Currently, I'm simply overwhelmed (and constantly aghast and speechless) by the increasing amounts of violence by the Empire (think Star Wars analogies) unfolding and reaching new heights every day.
You are right, but it seems that "education" and "awareness" is taking TOO LONG - what if it's too late? What then?
I definitely like your optimism, but like others, I'm old, feeling older than Methuselah waiting for the sheep to awaken; having proselytized thousands of students about the ridiculous injustices of our sociopolitical systems and witnessing the fairly low percentage whose thinking has actually transformed. So forgive my impatience, but we old a-holes are probably being selfish, seeing ourselves dead before the steps you clearly lay out can be accomplished.
I'm old too, Vin. Thank you for your efforts over the years while I was a Neocon Dupe.
Like you I think of my mortality. I recall Pink Floyd's lyrics, "Shorter of breath and one day closer to death".☠️ Our clocks are ticking and we must make best use of our time.
I'll be 70 years old this year and I'm still lively, active and enjoying my cigars. The cigars got me off cigarettes and I feel ten years younger. People underestimate my age. I guess my point is we must fight for our lives. The weapons are Nutrition, Exercise and Rest. The three aspects of yourself are Body, Mind and Spirit. Nurture all of them.
I'm a fortunate man. I'm filthy rich because I want everything I have and don't need much. I so fervently wish we could all be!🕊️
Keep on keepin' on with that revolutionary energy, man; we desperately need that reminder. Seventy's just a number. My mind and spirit are still entirely with you, but sadly an old physical wound from middle age has called "no mas" on my musculoskeletal apparatus over the past five yrs. So I do what I can physically, but those limitations tend to screw with my attitude, while as you say trying to make best use of my time.
I have to make up for the damage I've done as a Neocon Dupe. It took 20 years to straighten me out. I found an online mentor Larry Kummer host of the website fabiusmaximus com. It was he who introduced me to Caitlin! The article was her masterpiece about the Narrative Matrix.
Over that period I was educated by bloggers like Caitlin. Alternative media journalists exposed the abuse of the Palestinians by the zionists. I knew an explosion of revolt was bound to happen. It did on October 7, 2023 and it reminded me of October 14, 1943.
Our governments are also sending money to the new government in Syria that is on a killing spree, and our mainstream media is airbrushing this out of the narrative.
I wish I knew what to do about all this.
One thing I know for sure: western governments don't support their citizens, and are muzzling, arresting and misconstruing them at every opportunity. How do stand up to our governments and the many who are beholden to them?
My heart is torn by the shattered lives in Gaza. A tiny land far far away that has grown to occupy my mind and to fill my days with anger, sadness, helplessness, and then more anger....
"And it’s up to you how you’re going to respond to it."
I'm going to keep responding to it as I have all along-- I'm never going to shut up about this horrific genocide that my country is enabling the Izreahelli's to commit against the rightful owners of the land of Palestine! I'm still protesting, still emailing, still calling out the zy0nist bastards every chance I get. I wish I could do more hands on things such as float a people's armada across the seas to bring food, medicine and clean water to the people of Gaza. I wish I could strangle the sadistic fascists who keep funding this nightmare with my bare hands. Baring that, I'm open to any and all suggestions. #FreePalestine
Reminds me of some of the prophets in the OT who tiredlessly called out the wrongs against all odds. Thanks Caitlin. You will be remembered as the standout during civilization's era of decay and corruption. Keep up the good work!
You're right but recently I became acquainted with another Australian lady a lot like Caitlin. Her name is Roslyn Ross and she wrote the post I'm quoting about the ingredients for mobilization.
Thank you for finding the words I no longer can. It’s been 18 months of this dystopian nightmare and I can’t believe that this world’s leaders are letting it continue. I’m so disgusted and I can’t find the words to express it.
It has become personal, you are dead right. In so many ways. As a 6th generation outspoken, Australian, who cherishes democracy, equal human rights for all and freedom of speech, I have never before experienced this feeling of verbal restriction and handicapping. I have been personally attacked by "friends" who aren't even Jewish but have Jewish friends, so they had a go at me for being "too one sided" and "not reading the room" simply because I expressed shock at the level of targeted violence at children and the general lack of empathy for the whole mess. They didn't approve of my sharing posts or being so public about attending protest marches. WOW. That rocked me. I just assumed everyone I knew would be equally horrified. But no. It seems if you hang with a certain crowd, you cover for them and remove any humanity from the equation because it's only people who don't matter who are copping what they deserve. What a way to be woken up to reality. Jolted. The Palestinians have been opening my eyes in ways I never expected, but I will remain eternally grateful for. We can see who the terrorists are and they wear suits and sit in the White House and the Knesset.
Our systems are fully corrupted by sociopaths. We need to make new ones. We have a group problem solving problem. We can solve this with better systems. Ones that are harder to corrupt.
We don’t need anyone’s permission to make better group problem solving platforms for humanity. We build new ones and plug them into the corrupt ones to fix them.
Taking into account the blackmailing power of the Zionists at the international level… we are all Palestinians!! We must keep fighting!! Non Zionists Jews must join us !!! Zionists are a threat to humanity and civil liberties and civil societies. Keep fighting!!
I agree to some extent that capitalism is the master force at this time, but this mind-set is more than that. Power, Profits, and Prophets are all entwined here. We need to not focus on just one part of this unholy trinity, but to defeat it, we must understand and combat all three.
Sadly most are feeling nothing because they have tuned it out. Just another war. So where are we going to dinner?is the bigger more pressing question. Only when 911 times 10 strikes will there be any attention. And then the question: who are we going to annihilate?
It already IS 911 times 10. and more. But in 911 it was Americans, mostly white, who died. Now it is brown people who are not American or Zionist who are dying.
there is a legit concern that while protests help, it is not enough. The Empire will let us scream as much as we want... but then what! I've been going to Palestine rallies for more than a year, every single Sunday, and screaming! And then... There has to be something else! Please, Allah help me think and work with like-minded people to stop the bloodshed! Please!
I doubt very seriously that those who are planning to do something, that can have lasting effects on this totalitarian system, are any of us out here in the public spaces, where the monitors are sure tonknow who and where we are. If such people exist, they should be as off-grid as is possible in our surveillance society.
Stop participating in the their system and build parallel systems. Stop giving your money to the government, banks and corporations. Use cash, buy local, barter, grow as much of your own food as you can, even in a city backyard or balcony, move to Linux, don't use Netflix, etc. More complex items like computers, phones, cars - buy second hand or at least not made by regimes that fund what goes against your values.
They can only do this because the public is financing it. They can ignore your protests but they can't ignore it when you remove what they really care for: money. Every dollar you spend, every Internet website you use is a vote. I'm struggling to get rid of YouTube at the moment but I'll find a solution for that one as well.

Move to China then oh wait they don't like trannies

Bunch of incel losers on here whining like a bunch of bitches
Yes, those are appropriate emotional responses, but don't let it stop us from doing whatever we can to call it out, and to stop it.
Bunch of incel losers on here whining like a bunch of bitches
Anger may not be sane or productive if taken to a Luigi level but lower levels is helpful to me and fully justifiable.
Bunch of incel losers on here whining like a bunch of bitches
Please explain "Luigi Level". I've seen references to Luigi as a video game character.

They're standing strong for white people everywhere.
