It's like they are building a movie set - construction crews every where - few actors just grips.
not even people with cameras.
maybe it's going to be a movie about getting ready to live.

Lockdowns also steal things from us.

I'm doing okay. Business has been down a bit but I am essential. No restaurants unless it's to meet someone new. I live a simple life so not much else has changed.

.  Ferdinando I doubt folks, with fewer attachments are as affected as you assume everyone is. Those who defy regulations, engage in denial, and complain about their rights are probably  mainly spoiled westerners, who have no idea what life is like and has been like for decades, in much of the world, from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Somalia, Displaced people camps in Africa, Bangladesh, low lying ocean islands, among many more hellish places.
.  Most Europeans, Canadians, Australians, and Americans probably couldn't survive 2 weeks in the conditions the mass of humanity puts up with, and most likely the Americans would be the first to succumb.

I am really happy about your insigts and sensibleness

yes it's a disaster

crazy crazy low quality for the most

and it gets worse

many shrooomerites were pretty fucked up ice and people
and there were some to critique
it's just a bummer progress is slow
I have meditated 1500 hours

and still notwhere close to liberation

but lots of us are really cool
there must be a way
we should clean it up just a little practice to make things better even afar like practice it

I’m a bit confused and despondent about what the “common good” is.  Evidently I am not the only one hence the 74,000,000 figure.  Care to elaborate?

I assume your view is that these 74,000,000 people are ignorant?

If so, that's a wildly creative way to deny 74,000,000 voter's values. Wow.

As a leftist you have the “greater good” on your side.  You are backed by the collective.  It is not merely your stance but the groups.  There is confidence in being a part of a group.

If I had to take a jab I would look to exploit Rahz’s conservative ideology with his sympathy towards the military.  You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

If you are going to be about minimalist government then c’mon man walk the walk !  So we might get invaded by a superior army.  Have to be willing to roll the dice says conservative ideology

I am a fiscal conservative and believe non-governmental cooperatives would be a better answer for many social problems. Forcing people to do the right thing doesn't make them any more right. As long as government has a hand in such things it will grow and take more and more money making it impossible for the people to support themselves. I disagree with being the world police and know we could still have a strong defensive military for much less cost. Yet as the world situation is embedded, the answer is to work towards a peaceful withdraw which could take some time to say the least. There currently isn't a peaceful withdraw from Taiwan for instance. China would pressure them and take their autonomy quickly. It is the same with South Korea. I don't mind spending some money to help keep millions of people safe from quasi-religious cult like governments willing to invade and kill for the sake of dominance. I would very much like to see the military budget drop due to such situations being peacefully resolved with nobody wanting to kill anyone else to exert control over them.

So yes, military spending and even social spending to feed people is higher on the list than art. :shrug:

And no, I don't think our government is innocent, but it hasn't got everything wrong. Government is a de facto restraint on individual liberty and should be as small as possible.

.  I wonder if it is even possible for a civilian to know answers to these questions. We don't have data on cyber war, or Russian and Chinese weapons development. We don't have the data on the aging of nuclear missiles and bombs, in many countries from decades ago.
.    And those who do have the data, are probably both paranoid, and have vested interests in war.
.  And the CIA and possibly others have a black budget.
.  And the drugs for arms deals from the days of Ollie North and similar shit most likely continue in some form.

rahz,
it's the name calling, not the politics, politics does not require name calling.
we are all part of the larger group of creatures called humanity.
politics should be a way to manage the larger affairs of humanity.
It has been laid out to work to that end.
politics is a good thing, and it involves finding out what everyone thinks and what the majority thinks should have steering control.

therefore let the majority begin to think, divisive name calling is not valid thinking, and it wastes the enormous cost of staging politics.

Politics, almost every politician now, doesn't do a damned thing for their people

So I see politics as a completely failed structure

Rebuilding it will just result in injustice as humans are not perfect and easily succumb to bribes, redistricting, gerrymandering, all sorts of bullshit. Corruption everywhere

It didn't start in 2017, it started decades before that but oh well.

It's so deeply rooted that I do not believe the system will be fixed or improved

Capitalism will allow like 100,000 humans total on a generation ship to Mars and the super rich will colonize that planet and do the exact same thing there, that they have done here.

let me put it this way, if you are significantly below average intelligence for any reason you will test out as a moron.

genetics, distraction, dope or otherwise.

sometimes I am a moron. However, in the last 4 years I have seen extremely moronic behavior in politics, a dysfunction that has been fomented by the antics of an orange faced fat clown.

I do not consider allegiance to be proper politics, it is certainly not intelligent politics when people become distracted or coerced to follow an orange faced fat clown.

My comments are a critique upon the efforts to dignify what has been happening in the political arena as politics while they certainly conform to circus antics and outright inanity.

I am neither committed to the left or the right though in my history I have voted 50% NDP (worker's rights, education, healthcare, homeless) and 50% Liberal (which in Canada is middle of the road). I have never voted for larger class sizes, anti-immigration, or divestiture of protected public lands for Oil, Gas, or mining.

Being a moron is nothing to be ashamed of. Get help to think things through if you are stuck.

It's okay to call someone a moron as long as you feel it justifiable. Got it. And do you think calling someone a moron makes it more or less likely a person will take your advice and get help? Or will is just solidify opposition?

"it's the name calling, not the politics, politics does not require name calling."

"orange faced fat clown"

That's not name calling either right? Some people just test out as orange faced fat clowns.

That's just the media repeating the same kind of label then twitterverse made some labels and then everyone and their grandma started needing scripts for benzos due to the media telling them the sky was falling for four years when literally all of Congress bickered and argued with each other, same with the president, and they stonewalled with no covid relief bill and then went on break and they're still getting paid

It's not just an orange clown

People got so desperate, that's what they voted for

And we will get someone worse than Trump if people keep voting for the "lesser of two evils" which just further shifts the overton window towards totalitarianism

I shouldn't need to mention how many bombs Bushv2, Obama, or Trump dropped per day, but for all of them it was over 100. And these weren't just any bombs, these are total drone bombings per day which means targeting killing.

Bushv1 and Bushv2 responsible for millions of deaths in the middle east, Obama just kept increasing the total kill count, and then Trump doing the same

Although I thought Brian William's was going to cum in his pants when Trump fired missiles at Syria and that was the *only* time the media said unanimously, that he was acting presidential. Only when he rocket bombed Syria did they say he was acting presidential.

That's fucked up. On behalf of the "media"

The media just reads what has been posted on Twitter. You hardly see actual journalists out in the field actually getting the truth about what is going on in specific areas. It's just anchors repeating anchors repeating a tweet that was retweeted by someone and somehow, that is news.

And politicians are going to make sure Julian Assange is executed (who is imprisoned because he leaked footage of US military firing .50 rounds out of a machine gun mounted on a helicopter and these servicemen murdered two Reuters journalists, and then the helicopter flew back and the soldiers did a "double tap" and fired additional .50 caliber rounds at the journalists as they squirmed on the ground

But let's get angry at one orange man. Edit: the reason we got the orange man, was because of voting for the lesser of two evils. Lets keep doing that.

One the one hand I think I know exactly what you mean. On the other, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I did not call anyone here a moron or a clown.
that is name calling
Referring to Donald Trump as an orange clown is also not name calling - it is his intended performance that is a joke. He is a pro, and that is why he got that job.
Those with whom he is in cahoots operate on the shady side of the law as does he. That is nauseating to me. but of course, nausea is close to godliness, so - maybe it is an epiphany?

So I see politics as a completely failed structure

Rebuilding it will just result in injustice as humans are not perfect and easily succumb to bribes, redistricting, gerrymandering, all sorts of bullshit. Corruption everywhere

It didn't start in 2017, it started decades before that but oh well.

It's so deeply rooted that I do not believe the system will be fixed or improved

Capitalism will allow like 100,000 humans total on a generation ship to Mars and the super rich will colonize that planet and do the exact same thing there, that they have done here.




Well if it only started decades ago then there must be reason to optimistically believe some progress will be made.  Admittedly this feels like a hollow statement.  Maybe not, perhaps Joe will be the start of something BIG

I've made my point, but I feel it has gone over your head so let's just disagree to agree. And I believe it was orange fat clown. I know you wouldn't fat shame though so perhaps it's my foggy memory.

precision is also next to godliness,

but yeah, it's the only way to be.

The current world we have within out perceptions is crumbling. There is a split on conciousness happening. Some who are ascending to the next stage of this life incubator, and some are not ready and will have to stay in the realm of suffering that we are in now. Everyone will end up ascending at some point. There is no one path, but many, and we are all on the path we need to be at this very moment. Everything in your life right now is your friend...even all your fears, worries, doubts, concerns. All of those things will bring you to where you need to be. Looking within and asking for answers so that you may come to KNOW. None of this I believe this, I think this, this might be, perhaps, maybe...You will come to KNOW. What ever asnwers you seek as when you consume a classical psychedelic. Perhaps it will work with some of the more modern ones, but I know it does work with the classics. LSD, Mushrooms, ayahuasca, even THC can for some. ASK and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be open...and I dont mean some christian BS that dead corrupt churches mean when they say that. Ask and KNOW the answers will come to you. Dont worry about how. You will know when they hit you.
Dont worry about covid or anything. This place is all illusory. That doesnt mean its fake. Its very real and has a very powerful way of guiding your perceptions if you do not watch for it constantly. Its a very convincing perception.

Id like to also note that politics is a waste of time. Waking people up to knowing is what is important. Reminding people of who they are and that mind is before matter. If everyone would wake up there would be internal monarchy. This way we could have external anarchy which would never lead to chaos. The true meaning of Anarchy from where the word comes from basically means, without rullers, without master. No masters No slaves. Government is a euphimism for slavery. No one has the natural right to impose a way of life over another. Dangerous freedom is always optimal for humanity over peaceful slavery. We are not at a point where we can abolish government all together..but humanity will come to that point eventually. It is inevitable.


--------------------
Know thyself. KNOWING is salvation. If you can't come to know the true reality of this realm, in the least know yourself. Know who you are and hold on to that knowing unto death.

As regards this RGV, you want more precision? -- I think your statement is either what they call "being a glutton for punishment" -- or a case of minimalism applied to dead pan humor. Then again you may just enjoy walking the fine line between the two; But in any case don't worry, you will end up ascending at some point.

"I wont offer any candy."

so "word of the day"
is "your phrase of the day" ?

Let's see, is there something you would like me to deny you?
Perhaps friendliness? No you have already denied yourself this treat apparently, not sure why...but whatever floats your boat.

When we both end up ascending at some point, we may meet again in more congenial and less ambiguous circumstances, depending on how they have arranged the furniture up there.

That perspective surely helps some folks to downplay, diminish, depreciate, and disparage the 74 million people who voted for Donald Trump this go around. It's like saying 74 million voters are all greedy gun loving racists who oppose immigration. Many people do not want to understand because they want so desperately to demonize. We've heard many Hitler references the last 4 years. 

US politics is now a religious holy war. This year I heard hundreds of messages insisting the election was a "battle for the soul of the country."

.  Well you have stated a view on what you call polarization and demonization, which probably many would agree with to some degree. But you have stated no view on what is wrong, or how it got this way, and avoided stating your views on some of his horrible actions, which many will take to weaken any meaningful point you hoped to make.

.  You also imply that if there are a lot of folks that believe something it can't be foolish. But unfortunately as the history of religions, and world wars, shows, that is a total fallacy.

.  And you avoid stating what you think it is that: "people do not want to understand..." which apparently you think 74 million people have in common.  Seems rather odd.
