    You’re getting down voted but this is what it feels like watching our gargantuan government help eradicate an entire people…

    – again.

    sometimes the sense helplessness watching us repeat the history that everyone abhors and ignores makes me wish that i was a moderate so that i can fool myself into believing that voting for one genocider was better than voter for another genocider.

    i also wonder if my existence at the intersection of several vulnerable communities would eventually dispel that world view anyways if i were a moderate since there are so many brown, immigrant, gay, autistic conservatives.

      I’m honestly just sitting here wondering when the main bulk of any populace will realize it is always more beneficial to a society to help each other than it is to recreate the jungle of competition and struggles from which we came. It feels like we have forgotten that all of this was about making life easier and now endlessly chase a goal that can never be satisfied (profit).

        It isn’t necessarily about ideas, but course of development. We live in the era of Imperialism, ie large Monopoly and Financial Capital domination of the Global South from the Global North. The weakest links break, and Imperialism weakens. It’s a matter of time.
