The Left is doing it wrong.
We need to stop calling it the green New Deal; and call it the Patriot Power Act.
We’re not trying to go green or “Woke”. No! We’re making ’Merca energy independent! We’ll stop importing oil from the tourist countries! And be energy self sufficient!
—BRANDING!!
Or…stop defining everything as left/right and make things for people. Stop the divide, it’s what ‘they’ want.
Yes. I was amazed that anyone was able to make a vaccine political.
And some of the other kookiness from Qanon and similar really makes me wonder about the mental health of the general public.
It’s when I started looking for answers on mass psychosis. I’m still unclear on the how.
Did you end up finding evidence of mass psychosis actually happening?
Interesting you mentioned that. Salem witch trials, Jonestown, Raelians were mentioned. Not all victims of the inquisition/witch trials were, some were accused for vexing the wrong person. I can’t imagine some issue didn’t plague most suicide or even murder cults’ members. The perpetrators would seem to fit criteria for psychopaths.
I was in Barnes and noble today and there’s a whole bookshelf in the new non-fiction section from a bunch of conservative personalities with crazy books about trusting Q, knowing how to believe in Q, how Biden has ruined America but trump will return and save us, all sorts of delusional shit.
The mental capacity of the general public has always been poor because there are some extremely dumb and gullible skewing it from just basic people, these grifters selling these delusional books and ideas is what’s making this worse. Being allowed to call your political opponents demons and saying your leaders are all chosen by god on high should be banned in political discourse
That is just not how it works. I wish it was, but someone will always make literally whatever political
Need to get rid of first past the post voting. It incentives two polarized parties. Maybe ranked choice instead?
As long as money can control politics it will. Post scarcity might fix it someday, but so many things have to happen before then—that will disadvantage vested interests—that it’s hard to imagine humanity making it there.
Online, there’s always this division and blame on either the left or right. In my real life experience amongst friends, people are more willing to have a normal conversation about different opinions without all the outrage like I see online.
Where is this magical realm, because it surely isn’t where I am.
Definitely not my experience. I live in a “blue” area but …. A friend up north gets worked up about vaccines, and his wife runs a daycare! He’s educated and intelligent but has entirely off-base assumptions. My brother in the Midwest works for a car manufacturer …. still thinks electric vehicles are a fad that don’t work and never will. “Look around you” does not compute because it’s “just Tesla” and everyone knows they have poor uplift and loosing tons of money and only survisipve on government handouts
Well the unfortunate part of that is it isn’t working and a solid 30% of the population will just call you ‘woke’ and ignore you for saying it.
You’re sending some conflicting signals, my Mac
Companies are not people, so no…I’m not.
Political agendas are also not human, so again I’m still not.
You’re one of those that love to cause divide.
Was that an us-and-them argument against us-and-them arguments?
That sounds nice but, much like the name for these bills, it’s not reality.
Who’s they?
