If we honestly care
about making change, we
need
to commit to learn what can
be
done, how, and do the work at
the
level available.
Having tantrums is not
meaningfully
making a difference.
.
Have you considered that the
person
you oppose may be perceiving
from
a different point of view,
which,
without scientific exploration of
outcomes
based on each, may potentially be
as
valid as yours -- or maybe the
truth
is between, or somewhere
else.
.
When conservatives
(so-called)
have power, they don't offer
unity.
They punish those with whom
they
disagree or project as "not
us"
and therefore Enemy.
Punishment is all they
understand.
No questioning the costs of
war,
large or small -- military
weapons
their proof of
strength.
.
You say children (strangers about
whom
you have no real knowledge) need
saving
from traffickers. How many
actual children
have you saved or helped in any
way?
Traffickers mostly target
children who have
no one to protect them --
runaways,
throwaways, alone and desperate.
These
kids are on the streets of most
cities.
How are you helping them to get
safe
places to go, people who
care?
What are you doing that you,
personally,
can do for them or children in
your town
who are in need?
Or do you only like the idea of
saving
children because it gives you
friends,
a social bubble to protect you
from
loneliness or powerlessness, to
give
you a mythology to
believe?
.
conspiracy theories as such are
no more
dangerous than any fantasy -- and
like any
fantasy they become a source of
danger
when their fans so break from
reality
that they are unconcerned with
actual
social codes that seek to control
violence
.
I have quite recently been
starting to look into
the vagus nerve as an emotion
moderator and
possible treatments for
autoimmune
inflammatory disorders.
I have been experimenting with
those long, deep
breaths and a "become calm"
mantra, and
becoming calmer, more focused and
I guess saner.
.
a village raising a child,
planning for agriculture,
sharing information and
education,
dealing with disagreements and
fights,
these are all
governance
Government is not any particular
model but
the ways we develop to live
civilly in society.
.
obviously these people have no
idea how
this country is organized to be
run, and don't
care because they don't want an
organized
social responsibility but only
attention and
capitulation paid to their ad hoc
tantrums
