  • Better systems don’t tie healthcare to jobs, so that’s one stressor that better places don’t have, that threat held over people. They also have paid leave from work and lower cost childcare. Their populations can still decline but they will adapt to manage it and people are happier there. Any chance for those improvements are with the Dem platform and a sustained supermajority, it only gets worse with maga.





  • They think they benefit from the controlling systems and preserve their “right” to punch down on others. The same toxic patterns in many families, sports, frats, military, most supernatural groups and authoritarian politicians. All hierarchal, conditional belonging, stuck in dualism, obey those above until it’s your turn to punch down.

    That is unhealthy and the real truth does set us free from all that nasty baggage, transcend the ego and actualize in this life. The harder path is to have real courage and integrity in life, critical thinking and not just do as told and conform for conditional belonging. It’s easier to stay in dualism as told and repeat the tribal indoctrination.

    The inversion of values What’s presented as virtue: obedience, conformity, and shame-based compliance, is actually corrosion of the self. And what’s demonized: questioning, autonomy, authentic desire, is what genuine integrity requires.

    This is the deepest form of control because it colonizes a person’s moral sense. You internalize shame not for doing harm, but for being yourself. You learn to call your own suppression “goodness.” The system doesn’t have to force you anymore; you police yourself.







  • maga has always tried to make it seem like their views and policies are reasonable and both sides deserve equal weight. It’s a step on the way to critical thinking but they never reach it. The next step is analyze the outcomes and data and causes to come to an informed and accurate conclusion. The maga pointed at all the wrong stuff instead of the real blame, the tariffs and the war for all the higher prices. What a sick excuse to want more pollution for people in the areas near data centers and industrial areas. We deserve cleaner air, land and water, not worse, not regression. The maga way is unacceptable to healthy humanity. Do better!




  • I’m all for Dem wins. My prediction is they won’t be able to do much, and get blamed for too much time on hearings, maga will ignore subpoenas and otherwise drag it all out. Dems get blamed for not fixing all the damage, since people ignore that they don’t have the presidency, or enough majority in senate. Some people imply by comments in various places, that they think they can vote for president this election. If that’s the lack of civic comprehension the voting public has, it’s no wonder they flippantly swing back and forth and keep regressing with maga.


  • The magas keep betraying, it’s their thing, and even Bush said don’t get fooled so many times. I really want putin to leave and stay in existing lands, has plenty so stop killing all these people and all the suffering. Stop the dictator bs and could have had a much better economy and quality of life for people there if he did the right things, followed the Nordic models. Estonia and others have advanced with their freedom from the unhealthy controlling ways and putin could have done all that too, but no, doubled down on toxic systems and scapegoat minorities. Same horrible policies always bring horrible results for the majority, but the wealthy benefit. The wealthy and powerful protect their benefits and privileges at the expense of the many as we can see over and over in history.


  • We can use whatever is proven to work better for healthy people and the climate and follow proven models. We can see how getting off fossil fuels is a good thing for human health. This is the only safe blue dot we have, yet so many think it’s disposable and can’t wait for some better life later in a magic realm. They trash the planet and don’t support politicians that want to help, if they ever have enough majority. It’s tribalism and dualism, two peas in a toxic pod, and won’t change if the wealthy keep getting their way.
