slavery never died. it just put on a new suit.

we fought a war to end it the first time. i fail to see why we should be so polite now.

the same AI that could be used to run the coffee shop efficiently and distribute resources along with our UBI.

but we somehow let a select group of sociopathic humans run the world instead. oh well. we kinda have ourselves to blame. we outnumber the sociopaths, afterall.

have children forgotten that we had a flower power/summer of love/ hippie generation and the impacts of that are still being felt today? jim henson, mister rogers, public broadcasting... all that stuff was a ripple effect from a generation of people who were fed up with protestant america's quiet stoicism.

never forget that shit. those people changed western culture for the better. pick up the torch.

everything's fine personally, but it makes me sad and bitter that i see a world where the light keeps getting dimmer. when i was younger, i believed in a bright future. hell, i believed in a bright future up until 2015 or so.

i don't see young people making good memories any more. i don't see love any more.

what can you do about it? make sure there are consequences for the people who are making it go dark.

you guys gotta give these administrations a break over palestine and israel. this middle east policy has been ingrained into american politics since the end of WWII. it's really hard for one president to come in and undo shit that eisenhower and roosevelt engineered as a CENTURIES LONG STRATEGY. believe it or not, there are some big picture things at play here.

disclaimer: i do not support israel and think that palestinians are being treated in an inhumane way.

we need to convince them that voting is a left wing conspiracy

trump thinks only in terms of television. he picked the pretty lawyer because, in his mind, everyone that looks good is better than other people. his narcissism is chronic.

2030 is too far away and i think that's naive. we need them gone now. you don't understand how ingrained conservative thinking is in rural areas. they aren't going away. they're making new ones every day.

i don't know man... it's kind of a big deal. it's a woman's right to choose what she is allowed to do with her body. i'm more concerned about issues like that than i am economic BS. have you already gotten complacent about it?

i think it's a glaring indictment of what to expect if you let these psychopaths run the country. i think it needs to be center stage.
