losing our selves

 


When we categorize ourselves
and each other
we risk losing our selves


The type of personality that demands
continual amassing has different precepts,
codes, values from those generally
considered “good” “humane”
Attempting to shame, or bring about
a higher consciousness can have no effect
when the language barrier so vastly
separates


The Liberals, for all their panty-clutching
cowardice, are so much better than the
Righteous, who absolutely NEED to rule
other people’s lives, make everyone as
miserable as they, so they can feel
justified in their misery.


Dems, try the same strategies being used 
by successful candidates of talking directly 
to the people about what concerns them, 
being an actual advocate, understanding 
what is needed by your district and acting 
accordingly, encouraging volunteers from 
all areas, getting the word  out LOUD


We are clueless, undereducated, unable to 
understand the implications of our choices 
because our so-called democracy is played 
like a sport, not taken seriously as the backbone 
of the society in which our lives take place. 
Obviously, what is needed is education of the 
kind busy people will take to, endless 
anti-propaganda that is spread as more people 
learn enough to make that our background. 


socialism is pretty much a trigger term, 
not a real here and now to usefully react to -- 
it gets to be, like a Humpty Dumpty word, 
whatever the speaker assumes.  The definition 
people with a conscience tend to lean toward 
is about people being more important than profit. -- 
The essentially humane view that actual living 
beings have more intrinsic value than made up 
constructs to allow for some to grab and hoard 
what were common resources.


isms are human constructs, often based more 
on ideological theory than real world practice 
why not reverse for usefulness -- figure out what 
gives people the best possible lives, and do that

all "peoples" suck

 
What is it with people, putting Democrats
down for playing by the rules, respecting
the law, instead of demanding that
Republicans do so?


Monetary prosperity may be a fine
goal.  After all, we need to pay for
our lofty projects.  But it is meant
as a goal among many, perhaps even
only a preliminary, to serve the benefit
of a thriving society based on humane
values.
The thrifty yet aggressive Businessman
archetype is but one of the vast pantheon
of social icons.


I can see where the needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the few.
However, there is a vast difference 
between taking care of needs and
allowing active harm. Actively
harming a nonconsenting, nonharming
member is never to be condoned, no
matter who or how many benefit.


More and more people are being
indiscriminately disappeared by thugs
in masks and combat gear, without 
ability to get out word of where they
are.  Some have even already died,
more deported into torture.  When
there is no accountability, no word
given, they could be anyone. They
could be people you love, depend on.
Is there anyone you've not heard from
longer than usual?



I am not possibly antisemitic
I don't believe in these human divisions.
If anything, I am anti-humanity --
because all "peoples" suck

maybe AI hallucinations

 

what we are all going gaga about 

is not Intelligence at all
I am concerned we are heading for 

a post-real world in which there is no 

basis for anything. Meanwhile, the actual 
research into machine intelligence that 

could yield amazing results is conflated 

with this machine idiocy




Ah, prurient interest
That's what the Epstein Pedofile hysteria
is about

This whole time-line is a
post-real farce -- maybe AI hallucinations

A State has many possible functions
As such, profit is not among them
That is the province of Business
They are quite different Archetypes

To have self-rule government that
answers to us, we each need to fulfill
our responsibilities to create, maintain,
and assure effective oversight to that
end.
It's not a fault, but a success for
government to provide the desired
benefit for those who make the effort
to make that happen.



Democrats are cowards.  Yes, some
are; some are not; some at times,
not others.  The brand is a myth,
spread by the real cowards.

It's all over
The mine-run believes without question:
We are meant to go along to get along.

When you are not feeling threatened,
you can allow yourself to feel more
in touch, to feel for someone else
as a potential friend.



Salty bitterness
with an absurd dose
of surreal

When you insist: "Israel has a
right to self-defense" Yes, when we
use those words to mean our common
vision of how that works. When you/
they use these Nazi connotations (doublespeak?),
equate horrific torture, starvation, bombardment,
maiming and murdering masses of innocent
civilians, I cannot condone the barbarity of
that translation.  If that is your language,
than, NO -- they have no right to such 
"self-defense"  No one has a right to misuse
our common understandings, our common world
so unconscionably inhumanely.



I never had an interest in making money,
accumulating wealth
I could never understand why anyone would.
I was always interested in making art,
accumulating experience



Apparently the current administration
is making America irrelevant, gauche
and barbaric.



Lazy in my aging
Giving in to my fading senses,
uncomfortable musculature



I get it
You admire the fascists
You secretly love their promise
of order and brutality.
You know you should never
admit your true feelings
What to do?
Bash the Democrats as
weakling opposition

Somehow we've convinced ourselves
it is worthwhile spending our precious
human lives on pursuing wealth beyond
our ability to properly shepherd.
