and this is why religion has to go. how the fuck this archaic thought process still dominates modern society is beyond me, but i cannot see a way out of this until religion is stomped into the ground by any means necessary. it is literally one of the top three roadblocks to a humane world.
the great touring jam bands provided a wonderful environment to meet new people in back in the 90’s. the parking lots of grateful dead and phish concerts were chock full of society’s misfits, many of them well-read and witty (some of them not-so-much). It was not introverted at all - there were so many outgoing, lively, and fun people.
i think many of you are more outgoing than you give yourself credit for. you just live in a world where you don’t want to mingle with the inhabitants, and i think that might even reflect a skewed view of the outside world. i’m pretty far left and i still have fun in bars in little ranch towns in the western states. most of those people are more fun than your average morose, urban-dwelling shoe gazer.
good luck with either.
i expect the idiots to vote for him. the real collective stupidity is that the left seems to have no intention to put up a fight against these morons. apparently, if we lose the election, then “oh well, let me lay my head down so you can mash my face in with your boot”. it really sucks having limp-wristed do-nothings as allies.
exactly. we have to stop them from voting. i don’t care how it gets done, but we really don’t have a choice. they have to be stopped.
i don’t think it matters what their problem is. the solution is just to remove their ability to have a say in democracy.
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they’re better left unsung I don’t know, don’t really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow
i’m absolutely serious.
you have to round up not only the people that peddle this shit but the people that are gullible enough to believe it and get them far away from the gears of society. i don’t care how you do it, or where they end up, or how it gets done, but it’s obvious that we cannot have a functioning society with these people in it.
the biggest resistance is coming from the owner class. the great fear is that we could enter into an age where human labor isn’t needed and it becomes feasible to have a society where resources just get distributed for free because everything* is* practically free.
